    Recently, we asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us what two TV characters were perfect for each other because of how awful they both were. Here are some of the most terrible!

    SPOILERS AHEAD!

    1. Carrie and Big from Sex and the City

    HBO

    "They both are egotistical, narcissistic assholes who are made for each other. I am actually happy that Carrie didn’t end up with Aiden because he deserved so much better than her. Big and her deserve each other."

    —mareng49dd7659a

    "Everyone argues about how she should have ended up with Aiden, but he was way too good for her! She and Big were the same amount of garbage for each other."

    2. Rory and Logan from Gilmore Girls

    The WB

    "Rory and Logan from Gilmore Girls deserve each other. Everyone always argues her boyfriends were all terrible, but it’s because Rory is also terrible."

    —surfingrockets

    "Revival Rory and Logan together in Gilmore Girls. They were both equally terrible together — he was cheating on his fiancé and she was cheating on Paul (her boyfriend whose name she couldn’t remember) and was being awful in general. They should end up together as they both deserve each other."

    3. Frank and Monica Gallagher from Shameless

    SHOWTIME

    "Apart, they are still toxic, but together they are like a match and dynamite. Whenever hurricane Monica came to town, you knew she’d hook up with Frank and some wild shit would go down."

    —tiffanyalexandraw

    4. Homelander and Stormfront from The Boys

    Amazon

    "Stormfront is an actual Nazi and Homelander is so self-obsessed but easily manipulated, and Stormfront can take advantage of that."

    —daynam4b6e28fa3

    5. Chuck and Blair from Gossip Girl

    The CW

    "They were both extremely manipulative toward all of their friends and very much deserved each other."

    —hplover264

    "Chuck and Blair were petty rude and selfish, and neither of them ever really learned to be a better person. They deserve each other."

    —nataliegar07

    6. Rory and Jess from Gilmore Girls

    The WB

    "I LOVE LOVE LOVE the show, but we all agree Rory is a brat. As a teenager, I thought Jess was a cool brooding bad boy who was perfect for Rory, but as an adult I can see that he was a manipulative, moody pseudo-intellectual who thought he was edgy as all hell because he wore a leather jacket and read books. He tried to pressure Rory into sex and disappeared out of her life without warning. He's the worst...all Rory's main boyfriends were awful in different ways and so was she a lot of the time, but Jess and Rory together was a trash fire!"

    7. Gretchen and Jimmy from You’re the Worst

    FX

    "Gretchen and Jimmy from the brilliant You're the Worst. It's the entire premise of the show. As played by the charismatic Aya Cash and Chris Geere, you rooted for these two horrible people to end up together because you wouldn't wish them on anyone else."

    —kmichaels13783

    8. Ross and Rachel from Friends

    NBC

    "Everyone complains about Ross being whiny and possessive, but no one mentions how jealous and manipulative Rachel was when she got pregnant. After and during her pregnancy, she would give Ross permission to date other people and then later herself get jealous of his girlfriends. Honestly, both were obsessive and deserved each other."

    —s4bb472acb

    "They were both incredibly selfish. Anytime either one was happy with someone else, they had to sabotage the relationship. In general, they weren’t great people either. They were the worst two characters in the group. They deserved to be together."

    —freyahartley

    9. Archie and Veronica from Riverdale

    The CW

    "They always have to be getting back at someone and don’t know how to just stay out of stuff. Archie is definitely worse about it, but Veronica’s bad about it too."

    —reginaphalange78

    "How those two lasted together for so long is beyond me! They're both selfish and annoying, and they have a crap relationship. They totally deserve each other."

    —flipper8765

    10. Ryan and Kelly from The Office

    NBC

    "Ryan and Kelly from The Office. 110%."

    —ryland1203

    "A million times, yes. They are both such awful, toxic people who completely deserve each other."

    —directioner_af

    11. Damon and Elena from The Vampire Diaries

    The CW

    "Damon was a selfish person and Elena was so whiny. And their conversations were all the same.

    Elena: We're toxic for each other. It isn't good!

    Damon: Yes, but I need you.

    Elena: But we shouldn't, this doesn't feel right.

    And after that, they sleep together and continue to be toxic for each other."

    12. Marnie and Desi from Girls

    HBO

    "They were both so self-absorbed!"

    —sarahs4bbc0e985

    13. Count Olaf and Esme from A Series of Unfortunate Events

    Netflix

    "It was weirdly satisfying watching them together because they were so evil and mean and oddly perfect!"

    —that1girlthatmightnotbehuman

    14. Peyton and Lucas from One Tree Hill

    The WB

    "Neither one of them deserved Brooke in their lives, considering how many times they stabbed her in the back."

    —katemac324

    15. Owen and Teddy from Grey's Anatomy

    ABC

    "Owen cheated on Christina, and Teddy did the same on Owen. They are both cheaters who deserve each other. Honestly, find Tom a new sweet partner and let Owen and Teddy remain together in their toxicity."

    —s4bb472acb

    16. George and Izzie from Grey’s Anatomy

    ABC

    "Both are as annoying and whiny as the other, and always blaming everyone else for their issues!"

    —wafagil

    17. Rebecca and Evan from Greek

    ABC Family

    "They were both entitled assholes who didn't need screen time with anyone else but themselves. I don't remember if they ended up together, but them finally dating made fast-forwarding through all of their scenes much easier."

    —lw36

    "I hated Rebecca so much. She slept with Evan not knowing he was dating Casey, fine, whatever. But after finding this out, she didn’t care and was still into him? Ugh."

    —tobybuck44

    18. Hannibal and Will from Hannibal

    NBC

    "Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham, now and forever. Theirs is one of the most abusive and toxic relationships I've ever seen depicted in any sort of media. They try to kill each other and each others' loved ones repeatedly, but they can't seem to stay away from each other. They each see the other's true self, and that truth is full of murder, sickness, and death."

    —letsjetset

    19. Ted and Robin from How I Met Your Mother

    CBS

    "They were both extremely selfish and, to be honest, Barney and Tracy deserved much better."

    —laurengaston

    20. And Robin and Barney from How I Met Your Mother

    CBS

    "I was going to say Robin and Barney. Barney broke bro code 101 and Robin wanted to be with anybody but Ted. Ted was just a desperate dupe whose only true goal was to get married."

    —mouthofbae

    21. Rachel and Jesse from Glee

    Fox

    "Rachel and Jesse in the early seasons. I liked Jesse later on, but Rachel is super whiny and selfish, and early on, Jesse is kind of the same. Together they’re amazingly bad lol — I liked their Season 6 relationship, though. They both grew a lot."

    —protego24

    22. And finally, Serena and Dan from Gossip Girl

    The CW

    "How has no one said Serena and Dan?"

    —crispydragon55

    "I just didn't like either of their characters, especially in the later seasons."
