Forget Euphoria, These 5 Shows Have the Most Toxic Friendship Couples Ever

What’s really great about the world of television is that it offers you so many different life scenarios that sometimes you forget it’s only fiction. Or on the contrary, the picture we see on screen is so far from reality you find yourself frustrated when a minor inconvenience enters your life.

The same goes even about TV friendships: they are either ideal, where every character is ready to do whatever it takes to make his friend happy, or they are really toxic. One of the brightest examples of such friendships is Euphoria ’s Maddy and Cassie. The betrayals they went through destroying each other’s lives, while declaring unconditional love to each other before is just scary…

But there are even worse stories: let’s check out these 5 other couples that have love-hate relationships.

1. Serena and Blair, Gossip Girl

When there was no Maddy on screens and the world was a different place, the legendary girl couple of Blair and Serena from Gossip Girl were the ones who ruled. There’s no denying their friendship was extremely strong, but they went through so many ups and downs hurting each other like a million times. Intentionally…

“Like I just don’t get it. I know it’s a show but their friendship was just so toxic that it made no sense why they were still friends for so long. Blair always seemed jealous and insecure of Serena (even though she had her reasons why) and Serena was just not loyal at all and very wishy washy. I loved seeing scenes when they were actual friends. It was quite sweet than seeing them down each other's throats,” Redditor SevereCartographer26 said.

2. Bart Simpson and Milhouse Van Houten, The Simpsons

Now let's look at a male version of toxic friendship, and the first couple that comes to mind is definitely Bart and Milhouse from The Simpsons. They are always shown together and consider each other their best buddies.

But while they really do spend all their time together and play all their games together, there is one problem in the couple, and its name is Bart. He is a manipulator who is willing to give up their friendship a million times a day if it will fix his prank. However, when Milhouse puts his foot down and takes a step back from their friendship, it's always Bart who feels bad and begs for forgiveness. And then it starts all over again.

3. Walter White and Jesse, Breaking Bad

Now here we have some next level toxicity. In the Breaking Bad hit series, the chemistry teacher teams up with his former student and they start a very dangerous illegal business. While at the beginning it all seemed even a little fun and all, we soon realize that Walt is a monster and even a little junkie like Jesse should better stay away from him.

But like in any toxic relationship, they have their ups and downs, and whatever Walter says, Jesse will believe up until the moment he realizes he is in a trap. Walt saved Jesse's life several times and at the end he even sacrificed his own life for him. Still… not a type of friend you would want to have.

4. Ethan and Cameron, The White Lotus

This is another type of a toxic relationship, the one where one is constantly having fun in it and another one suffers. The two of them were friends and roommates in college, and maybe there’s a chance that back then they were close to each other. But the way we see them in the series is just… wrong.

Ethan is some sort of enigma, who managed to become a millionaire in a quick time, and Cameron has always been rich. So money is one of the issues between them, but it’s the smallest. Cameron wanted to seduce Ethan’s wife, and that’s something a friend should never do.

5. Sheldon and Leonard, The Big Bang Theory

Now the list wouldn’t be concluded without these two weirdos. Leonard is considered the normal one in this weird relationship, although it works only in comparison to Sheldon. Anyway, from the first episode we see how annoying Sheldon can be and how much Leonard has to put up to live with him.

Sheldon's odd ways in life are just plain irritating, and that’s why Leonard had to use snarky comments, lie about minor or sometimes major stuff. Overall, they had a great friendship, with just a twist of idiocy.
