40 Awesome TV BFFs That Will Withstand The Test Of Time

All I need in this life of sin, is me and my best friend.

We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which characters they think have the best on-screen friendships. Here are some of their favorite TV BFFs:

1. Derek Morgan and Penelope Garcia — Criminal Minds

CBS

"I absolutely adore their playful banter and cute nicknames. It’s clear they would do anything for one another. They get flirty, but it’s always fun, and it’s a great example of a man and woman being just friends. Love them!"

—rachelj43312bbe2

2. Scott McCall and Stiles Stilinski — Teen Wolf

MTV

"Their friendship and chemistry on-and-off-screen (Tyler Posey and Dylan O’Brien are BFFs outside work) is hilarious, organic, and amazing! They’re the cutest goofballs!"

—thatfandomtrash

3. Leslie Knope and Ron Swanson — Parks & Recreation

NBC

"She supported him during his times of weakness and was honest. Their relationship was never romanticized, proving men and women could be just friends. He always empowered her, let her pursue her goals, grounded her when she went too far, and he was never intimated by her, even when she went above him career-wise."

—vangellv

4. Kat Edison, Sutton Brady, and Jane Sloan — The Bold Type

Freeform

"They're female friendship goals at its finest. Women supporting women in the millennial age is my cup of tea. Thank you and good day!"

—borntoberandom

5. Eliot Waugh and Margo Hanson — The Magicians

SYFY

"They’re both so in-tune with their uppity bitchiness and understand each other on a level that no one else does on that show. They back each other up, keep each other in check, AND they kick ass as the High King and Queen of Fillory. No one rules like those besties!"

—kimberlyt441079d6b

6. Caleb Rivers and Spencer Hastings — Pretty Little Liars

Freeform

"Without a doubt, Spencer and Caleb from Pretty Little Liars. They get each other so well, their chemistry is FIRE, they are patient and honest with each other, and they're both smart."

—aubrynnhughes

7. Cristina Yang and Meredith Grey — Grey's Anatomy

ABC

"The best BFFLs everrrrrr! They’re each other’s person. I respect how much they trust each other and how open they are. They are goals and I legit want a 'person' like that. They've stuck by each other through plane crashes, death, marriage, near-death experiences, depression, heartbreak, successes, difficult decisions, and everything else that life entails. No matter what happens you know that they have each other’s backs and that their love for each other will never fade. What more can you ask for in a friendship?"

—achung3

8. Lorelai and Rory Gilmore — Gilmore Girls

The CW

"Even though they’re mother and daughter, they have a special bond rooted in love and understanding."

—lizzies48bb40154

9. Cordelia Chase and Angel — Buffy the Vampire Slayer

20th Television

"Their relationship was really dependent on one another, and I enjoyed seeing their opposite personalities bounce off each other and develop into something really genuine."

—svdorme

10. Willow Rosenberg and Buffy Summers — Buffy the Vampire Slayer

20th Television

"They always had each other’s back and were in it together, until the end! Through breakups and death, they always could count on each other!"

11. Jake Peralta and Charles Boyle — Brooklyn Nine-Nine

NBC

"They are definitely my favorite pair of friends from any show. Their friendship is the way it is because of mutual respect and appreciation."

—ava123cool

12. Troy Barnes and Abed Nadir — Community

NBC

"They both can get lost in their imaginations, but they ground each other super well, while also indulging each other’s soul and shared fantasies. They have a true bond. They’re complete opposites at first, but then it’s slowly revealed they have more in common than they thought."

—jamiet4f4a4957b

13. Jack Donaghy and Liz Lemon — 30 Rock

NBC

"Not only do they help and stand by each other at work, but they also consistently show up for each other in their personal lives. They're brutally honest with each other. They have vastly different opinions on certain things, but they've never let it destroy their long-term relationship. That’s a real friendship."

—mckenziecren

14. Ben Wyatt and Chris Traeger — Parks & Recreation

Danny Feld / NBC

"All of the friendships in the series were incredible, but I don’t think Ben and Chris get enough attention. They worked together for years, balanced each other out, and truly supported each other. Chris could tell Ben was depressed after losing his job before Ben could. And what’s more, they ended up with Ann and Leslie, who are an amazing example of friendship themselves."

—53124

15. Shawn Spencer and Burton "Gus" Guster — Psych

USA Network

—littleapple

16. Rachel Green, Phoebe Buffay, and Monica Geller — Friends

NBC

"Forget the guys (I still love the guys), the women of Friends made female friendships what they are today. They always supported and helped each other with their careers, relationships, and everything in between. The episode in the first season where they all watch George Stephanopoulos through the window and realize they have no idea what they’re doing with their lives really mirrors my friendships."

19. John H. Watson and Sherlock Holmes — Sherlock

BBC One

"They would do anything for each other. And no matter how many times they argue, (more like John argues and Sherlock ignores him), they always forgive each other. They've had rough times, but they always come through in the end. They just have a really great relationship."

—danyishhh

20. Tina, Gene, and Louise Belcher — Bob's Burgers

Fox

"It is amazing to see such a close-knit group of kids who also happen to be siblings. They hang out constantly, despite their age differences, and are just all around great friends to each other. I love the family dynamic in this show. It’s so refreshing; not all siblings hate each other!"

26. Lily Aldrin and Robin Scherbatsky — How I Met Your Mother

Their friendship is an iconic and often forgotten one."

—isaaclahey

28. Jane Vilanueva and Petra Solano — Jane the Virgin
