00:06Don't use the wrong bar of soap, or these small-screen roomies will come after you.
00:15Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we're counting down our picks for the Top 10 Hilarious Roommates in TV.
00:27For this list, we're looking at only the most comedic characters seen on television.
00:32No movies, just the small screen.
00:39But if you're into that kind of thing, be sure to also check out our list of the Top 10
00:43Hilarious Roommates in Movies.
00:52Number 10. Dorothy's Bornak, Blanche Devereaux, Rose Nyland, and Sofia Petrillo. The Golden Girls.
00:59There are too many years left, and I don't know what to do. Get a poodle.
01:05Picture it. Miami. The 80s.
01:08It's Miami in June. Only cats are wearing fur.
01:12A feisty foursome comes together in their golden years for convenience and companionship, and proves that life does not end
01:19at 50.
01:19Tea, Sofia? How about a shot of gin with a beer back?
01:25Dorothy is the street-smart, sarcastic one. Blanche is the man-hungry southern belle.
01:30Rose is the sweet, if naive, roommate, and Sofia is Dorothy's truth-telling Sicilian mother.
01:36Well, you must be Blanche's sister. You must be blind.
01:41Some are widowed, some are divorced, but all bring something different to the table.
01:45And if it's in the Golden Girls' house, that table is always stocked with cheesecake.
01:50Let me get the cheesecake and we'll talk.
01:53Number 9. Dave Rose and Max Bloom, Happy Endings.
01:57Great day, man. Great day. All right, I'll see you tomorrow.
02:00Max, it's only been 20 minutes, and you really gotta clean that up.
02:05Straight out of Chicago, a crazy mother-lover with a food truck and a lazy gay roommate fresh out of
02:10luck.
02:10Yeah, but you're gay and chubby. No one will see it coming. Chubby.
02:14As two pals with surprisingly different demeanors, Dave and Max wind up living together when the former gets left at
02:21the altar.
02:21Huge game-changer. Huge.
02:25While Max likes to pull pranks and dream of Scottie Pippen.
02:28Max, how many times do I have to tell you? Scottie Pippen is not in a financial position to hire
02:32a sassy butler.
02:33That is just my dream slash reality.
02:34Dave finds comfort in the ultimate V-neck and wonders why people laugh at him.
02:39Oh, no, no, no. These Vs require special attention.
02:41In fact, sometimes I throw them on wet and run dry them so they keep their shape, but then I
02:45get all sweaty and it's like,
02:46Here we go again!
02:47These two are quite the odd couple, yet continue to raise hell together in the Windy City.
02:52Fine! I'll see you in hell!
02:53I'll see you in hell!
02:54Fine, but I'll see you home at first with a bears game!
02:56Fine, I'll get the hummus!
02:57Fine, get baby carrots too, cause I like to dip!
02:59Fine!
03:00Number 8. Oscar Madison and Felix Unger, The Odd Couple.
03:03Look at your room, Oscar.
03:06Where'd you get all the laundry to do? Everything you own's on the floor.
03:08These are my summer clothes.
03:10Speaking of polar opposites, this duo is made up of the laid-back divorcee Oscar Madison.
03:15He's putting beer in his orange juice.
03:17I wanna kill the vitamin C.
03:19And the high-strung neat freak Felix Unger.
03:22Look around this room. Looks like somebody blew up the Salvation Army.
03:26These two share a Manhattan apartment, where Oscar serves as the fiery stooge that audiences love to watch unravel.
03:32While Felix is usually left to clean up Oscar's messes. Literally.
03:37Would you do me a favor?
03:38What?
03:38For my birthday, let me clean up in here.
03:40Now!
03:41These mismatched men were a very odd couple indeed, which is what made them so hilarious to watch.
03:47In my room, you can eat off the floor.
03:48You can eat off the floor in my room.
03:50Hey, look.
03:51There's some crackers over there.
03:52And eggs and half a tuna fish sandwich.
03:54Why don't you eat it?
03:55Though they didn't always get along on screen, Oscar and Felix remain some of the most memorable roomies in primetime
04:01American television history.
04:05Household...
04:06Servant?
04:07You got it!
04:11Number 7.
04:12April Ludgate, Andy Dwyer and Ben Wyatt.
04:15Parks and Recreation.
04:17I'm giving you an advance on next month's rent, and I want you guys to go to Bed Bath &
04:21Beyond and buy everything on that list.
04:23Or we could buy a Wii.
04:24After becoming Pawnee's assistant city manager in Season 3, Ben Wyatt trades his motel room for a brief stay with
04:31the couple April and Andy.
04:32Okay, so you always separate your lights from your darks.
04:36That's racist.
04:37Given the refined tastes of a city employee like Ben, he was probably expecting to rest his head on an
04:42actual bed,
04:43and not expecting to watch a grown man and woman eat turkey chili out of a frisbee for breakfast.
04:49I'm sorry, are you eating turkey chili off of a frisbee?
04:55It's pretty cute, right?
04:57No.
04:58But hey, the world continues to evolve.
05:00I'm going to teach you how to be adults.
05:03Cool.
05:04We'll get to be adults.
05:06Gee golly, thanks mister.
05:08By choosing to live with two natural goofballs like April and Andy,
05:12Mr. Wyatt found himself just a pawn in a crazy Pawnee game of disgusting love.
05:17Where do you put your bills when they come?
05:20I read the magazines and give the rest to Andy.
05:23Which I organized into a pile or stack that I put into the freezer.
05:28No.
05:296.
05:30Janet Wood, Chrissy Snow and Jack Tripper, Three's Company.
05:34Boy, you really loused up that toast.
05:37It's not my fault, Eleanor didn't leave the recipe.
05:40Along the Pacific Ocean in sunny Santa Monica lived a midwestern dancer, a ditzy blonde and a gay chef.
05:48Oh, do you mind if I eat in my boots?
05:51I'd rather you eat off the table.
05:54Well, at least as far as Stanley Roper knows.
05:56I told him that Jack was a decent, respectable, hard working young man.
06:02And that did it?
06:03Not quite.
06:04I also told him that you were gay.
06:08As a ploy to save money and break the no co-ed living rule,
06:11the womanizer Jack shacked up with the two ladies in the first episode.
06:15Which set the stage for multiple seasons of wacky shenanigans and constant misunderstandings.
06:20I want my own bed.
06:22You haven't even heard it yet.
06:23I want my own bed.
06:24He could sleep in our room.
06:26On the other hand, I don't want to be unreasonable.
06:30These three roomies were fun to watch.
06:32And their fresh late 70s, early 80s style only heightened the experiences.
06:37Your coffee reminds me of my mother's.
06:39Really?
06:40Sure.
06:41My father always said it was grounds for divorce.
06:44Jack's hair, Chrissy's tops, Janet's clothing of many colors.
06:49It was almost too much.
06:51I can't do anything right.
06:53Oh, Chrissy.
06:54Now listen, that is just not true.
06:57Number five.
06:58Eric Murphy, Vincent Chase, Johnny Drama, and Turtle Entourage.
07:03We got a monster, Vince.
07:05It's one theater.
07:06Don't get crazy.
07:06Based on Mark Wahlberg's personal experiences in Los Angeles, Entourage introduced a crew from Queens, New York, led by up
07:13-and-coming actor Vincent Chase.
07:15Quick decisions, that's why you're a star, Vince.
07:18Yeah, do what you gotta do, but I don't pick up dog shit.
07:19Whoa, it's the wrecking crew.
07:21When you combine Hollywood fame with Bros from the Block, a chaotic yet hilarious home life should be expected.
07:27Especially when Johnny Drama is involved.
07:29You may have a couple pounds on me, but nothing outweighs experience.
07:34Entourage became a pop culture phenomenon, thanks to the hijinks of E! and the crew.
07:39Wow, this looks great.
07:40Yeah.
07:41Only the movie looks so good.
07:43What?
07:43These guys lived in the ultimate frat house, and we loved watching from the outside.
07:48Morning.
07:49Good morning, how'd you sleep?
07:51Oh, fine, I'm sure.
07:52Someone got all cozy on the couch while I was stuck sleeping on the air mattress.
07:55Yeah, it was real cozy listening to you snore all night.
07:57Number four, Jessica Day, Nick Miller, Schmidt, Winston Bishop, and Coach Tagliabue, New Girl.
08:04Also, I like to sing to myself a lot.
08:07A lot.
08:08Three men, plus one, and the quirky bell of the ball.
08:12World's best winged woman reporting for duty.
08:14Jess, you can't come.
08:15It's New Girl.
08:16Who's that girl?
08:18It's Jess.
08:18As the late 20, early 30-something roommates of an L.A. loft, each character offers a unique brand of
08:24comedy while maintaining a relatable vibe.
08:27Can you give us a second?
08:28I just gotta, gotta talk to my boys.
08:30My boys is not a thing.
08:31My bros.
08:32Okay, douchebag jar.
08:33Jess' kooky, old-timey personality demands attention, which makes the supreme likability of her L.A. roommates even more astonishing.
08:40I do it for Kenya!
08:45Their mild depression makes us laugh, but when all cylinders are firing, Jess, Nick, Schmidt, Winston, and later Coach, work
08:53together as an unstoppable magnetic force of television.
08:56They wore the hell out of those tuxedo pants.
08:59People have told me I look really good in tuxedos, so...
09:01I don't think I've ever seen you in tuxedos.
09:02I've worn a tuxedo.
09:04Everybody has tuxedos.
09:05Tuxedo is different than a suit.
09:06It is?
09:07It is?
09:07Number three.
09:08Larry Appleton and Balki Bartokomus, Perfect Strangers.
09:12Philo, my fifth cousin, three times removed, is a step-uncle to your father and my mother's side.
09:17Two continents removed.
09:18I see, so we're sort of related by rumor.
09:21Isn't it just fun to say Balki Bartokomus?
09:24I'm Balki Bartokomus.
09:26These TGIF pals came from opposite ends of the world.
09:30But their mutual misunderstanding brought us together every Friday night.
09:34Who ate this?
09:36There's pink lemonade.
09:38You have pink lemons?
09:41Only in America.
09:42Larry taught us that Americans don't always have the answers, while Balki reminded us that you can't always get what
09:49you want.
09:50But if you try sometime, you just might find you get what you need.
09:54You need me.
09:56And this may surprise you, but I need you too.
10:01Known as Turnip and Yo-Yo to their boss-slash-landlord.
10:05Where's the Yo-Yo?
10:06These two Chicago cousins enjoyed the grapes of life's daily surprises and made it okay to laugh at perfect strangers.
10:14You're embarrassing, Susan. Stand up. Act like a man. Go work on the radio.
10:19Can I take care with me?
10:20No.
10:21Especially when they do the dance of joy.
10:24Hey!
10:25Die, die, die!
10:27Die, die, die, die!
10:28Hey, hey, hey, hey!
10:34So, where to?
10:36Our house.
10:37You had a drug dealer stay in our house all day?
10:39He feeds my turtles, Anders.
10:41Blake, Adam, Anders, the perfectly groomed trio of Southern California roommates.
10:47Also wash my rear end in case I got to take that picture later.
10:50Wow, you did that. Awesome.
10:52These college dropouts are maturity challenged,
10:55but their shared experiences living and working together will someday pay off.
11:00Here is the real piss, and it's all mine.
11:06It's all over your face.
11:09Whether it's Speedo hip thrusting or Rancho Cucamonga raccoon hunting,
11:13these guys have stories that you do not.
11:16It's just a dude diving in the dumpster. We've all been there.
11:18Blake, it's cute. It's a cute raccoon. Doesn't mean it doesn't deserve to die.
11:23And Blake's often disturbing curiosity only makes these Comedy Central characters even more enjoyable.
11:29Oh, nah, nah. What's your name, bud? Hey, I'm Blake. I'm a hard rocker, too, so I get it.
11:33I'm married, butt pirate.
11:34It's not a question of will they or won't they.
11:37It's a matter of how far will they go.
11:39Oh, my God.
11:47Before we unveil our top pick, here are some honorable mentions.
11:51Da, help.
11:52She glued the damn cabinet shut again.
11:56Again? You've got somebody who comes in regularly to glue your cabinets?
12:00The grilled Charlie has peanut butter last.
12:02Okay, either inside or outside.
12:03Peanut butter outside. Chocolate inside. Butter inside. Cheese outside.
12:07Go away.
12:08A society gentleman would only go out with you for one reason.
12:12To have a good time, a few laughs, and a little votio dodo.
12:16Ha! I don't votio dodo.
12:20I really love your place.
12:23You should move here.
12:23You don't have to wear that dress tonight.
12:26It's a smile on. It's a smile on.
12:28It's a smile on.
12:29Come on.
12:30Can you smile?
12:31Here we go.
12:33Number 1.
12:35Joey Tribbiani and Chandler Bing, friends.
12:38You used my toothbrush.
12:40Oh, that was only because I used the red one to unclog the drain.
12:45Could these two guys be any more hilarious?
12:48Look at me.
12:49I'm Chandler.
12:50Could I be wearing any more clothes?
12:52Joey and Chandler go together like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin,
12:56two cool cats born to entertain.
12:58Okay, here's the phone bill.
13:01Oh, my God.
13:04That's our phone number.
13:07Acting as the perfect foils for each other,
13:09Joey is a ladies' man who's not the brightest bulb in the box,
13:13while Chandler is the most sarcastic guy you will ever meet.
13:17Really? We got all this rusty crap for free?
13:21But their bromance is real,
13:23with Chandler basically supporting Joey as he struggled to find acting work.
13:27So how much do I owe you?
13:28What?
13:29Give me a number.
13:30I don't want to owe you anything.
13:31You don't owe me anything.
13:33I don't want your money.
13:34Ah, ah, ah, ah, we're doing this.
13:35They've been to Central Perkin back with each other
13:37and survived not only their own idiosyncrasies,
13:40but also those annoying but beloved friends from across the hall.
13:52Do you agree with our list?
13:53Why not? It's fun.
13:55Who's your favorite hilarious roommate on TV?
13:58Hey, look who it is.
13:59It's Dick Tanbe Mutombo.
14:01Gee!
14:02Look who it is.
14:04It's...
14:04Your dick is so tan, bro!
