00:00:00Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today, we're counting down our picks for the most passionate, unexpected, and long-awaited kisses in the history of TV.
00:00:15Major spoilers are included, so proceed with caution.
00:00:19It was my first one, too.
00:00:23Number 100, Clark Griffin and Lexa, The Hundred.
00:00:27What the hell is wrong with you? You can't just kill everyone you don't trust.
00:00:32We all love a couple of star-crossed lovers. In the world of The Hundred, the stakes are higher than most.
00:00:38Clark and Lexa come from two different warring factions, but it's not until the peace talks start that sparks really begin to fly.
00:00:44Don't we deserve better than that?
00:00:50Maybe we do.
00:00:51Two leaders, both alike in dignity. Their instant chemistry is strengthened by their mutual respect in spite of their different ways of looking at the world.
00:01:01Their first kiss, and our favorite, happens partway through season two, on the eve of battle against a common enemy.
00:01:07For a brief moment, the pair stops fighting their feelings, and finally allows themselves to live, not just survive.
00:01:29Number 99, Magnus Bain and Alec Lightwood, Shadowhunters.
00:01:34Don't stay with me a little longer, I will wait for you.
00:01:42What's that warlock doing here?
00:01:44Magnus Bain has had 400 years to work out what he likes, and he isn't afraid to go after it.
00:01:49But when he first meets Alec Lightwood, there's plenty to keep them apart.
00:01:53Hiding his true self, Alec is still carrying a torch for his best friend Jace.
00:01:58Later, there's the small issue of his upcoming wedding to a woman.
00:02:01Did Alec invite Magnus?
00:02:03I did.
00:02:05But I didn't think he'd show.
00:02:09However, just when we thought Malick might never become Endgame, the season one finale gave us the epic first kiss that we'd all been waiting for.
00:02:17Magnus crashed the wedding, but it was ultimately Alec who made the decision to follow his heart.
00:02:22Alec, what are you doing?
00:02:23Number 98, Judy and Leo, Boy Meets Girl.
00:02:44There we go.
00:02:46Oh!
00:02:47Oh!
00:02:48Piss!
00:02:48Trans stories are often about the struggle, and if you're looking for a gentle rom-com instead, then Boy Meets Girl might be for you.
00:02:57This BBC Two series stars Rebecca Root as Judy, a nearly 40-year-old trans woman who begins a romance with 26-year-old Leo.
00:03:05I'm gonna move out, just as soon as I've, honey.
00:03:13It could be worse.
00:03:14The sitcom follows the early days of their relationship, first dates, fallings out, and meeting the family.
00:03:21Elliot Kerrigan's script was discovered through a BBC talent search to discover positive transgender stories, and this one is very cute.
00:03:29Judy and Leo's first kiss sets the sweetly comedic tone of the show, and of course, a kiss in the rain is always romantic.
00:03:37One more for the rose?
00:03:52Number 97, James McGuire and Aaron Quinn, Dairy Girls.
00:03:57Are you alright?
00:04:00I like me, Aaron.
00:04:03Sorry?
00:04:03He starts the series as Michelle's weird cousin with the funny voice, but it didn't take long for the wee English fella to become an honorary Dairy Girl.
00:04:12Although he's often the butt of the joke, the gang loves James more than they would care to admit.
00:04:17For some, it goes deeper than others.
00:04:19You English?
00:04:20Yeah.
00:04:21It's fine. We didn't bring him up here to kill him or anything.
00:04:24She's my cousin.
00:04:26Oh, right.
00:04:26From early on, we had an inkling that James and Aaron might become something more.
00:04:31But it took a while for our girl to catch herself on.
00:04:34We knew the moment he turned up to take her to the prom, still dressed as the fourth doctor.
00:04:38But she didn't see the light until the final season.
00:04:41And then we finally got that kiss.
00:04:44I think you're beautiful.
00:04:50Anyways, I just thought I'd turn.
00:04:52Kiss me out of your bearded barley
00:04:57Nightly
00:04:59Beside the green, green grass
00:05:03Number 96
00:05:04Dylan McKay and Kelly Taylor
00:05:06Beverly Hills 90210
00:05:08Yeah, I admit it.
00:05:12I can't just kiss a guy I've had a major crush on my whole life
00:05:15And pretend that it doesn't mean anything.
00:05:17The best friend's girl, or guy, is a teenage trope now firmly enshrined in TV culture.
00:05:23But back before Pacey and Joey, or Serena and Nate, there was Dylan and Kelly.
00:05:28Kelly had been crushing on bad boy Dylan for most of her life.
00:05:31But that didn't stop him from dating her best friend, Brenda.
00:05:34With Brenda away in Paris the summer before senior year, Kelly and Dylan grew closer.
00:05:39And they didn't fight their feelings for long.
00:05:41Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
00:05:46The couple's initial kiss actually happens off-screen.
00:05:53But the first time you see them together still has the power to shock.
00:05:57As does the moment when Brenda finally catches them at it.
00:06:11Number 95
00:06:12Ross and Demelza Poldark
00:06:14The love story between Captain Ross Poldark and his kitchen-maid Demelza
00:06:26got the UK hot under the collar in 2015.
00:06:29Just as it did back in the 70s when Winston Graham's novels were first adapted.
00:06:34Despite their difference in age and station, Demelza falls in love with her brooding boss.
00:06:38One night when he's feeling lonely, she decides to do something about it.
00:06:42Caught unaware and conscious of a sense of wrongdoing, Ross is harsh at first.
00:06:58But Demelza proves difficult to resist.
00:07:00So, maybe they're a little problematic.
00:07:03But these two have so much chemistry, it's impossible not to enjoy them.
00:07:20Number 94
00:07:21We love a couple with history, and Deacon Claiborne and Raina James have decades of it.
00:07:37Once very much in love, Nashville's golden couple were torn apart by Deacon's substance use.
00:07:41As the series starts, Deacon's been clean for years, but there seems to be no cure for his devotion to Raina, who has long moved on without him.
00:07:50I want you to be happy.
00:07:51Darling, you know good and well there's only one thing that's going to make me happy.
00:07:55I've always had it a long time ago.
00:07:58Their first kiss of the season takes place on tour, where Deacon has been playing guitar for Raina's rival, Juliette Barnes.
00:08:04The romantic tension was building for 12 episodes, and the couple's long-awaited reunion did not disappoint.
00:08:11What in the hell are you doing on this tour?
00:08:15Deacon?
00:08:22You all just need to know what you're...
00:08:25Raina, I'm done talking.
00:08:28It was just a moment in an elevator, but what a moment it was.
00:08:33This political thriller got off to a scandalous start with a steamy kiss in the very first episode.
00:08:52Written by showrunner Shonda Rhimes, the final scenes of the pilot see Kerry Washington's famous fixer,
00:08:57Olivia Pope, and Fitz, the show's fictional U.S. president, have their first on-screen smooch in the Oval Office.
00:09:03I wanted you to be the man I campaigned for, helped get elected.
00:09:06The man I voted for, do not touch me.
00:09:07Don't touch me.
00:09:08Please stop.
00:09:08The reveal of their former affair was a bombshell that left us curious about the character's history
00:09:22and eagerly anticipating drama from future episodes.
00:09:25The relationship kept viewers gripped for seven seasons,
00:09:28and the chemistry between the leads continued to sizzle.
00:09:31But it's still this kiss that we remember best.
00:09:34I believed you.
00:09:35You clouded my judgment.
00:09:37You made me mistrust my gut because I wanted to believe you.
00:09:41I destroyed that girl.
00:09:42She tried to kill herself.
00:09:48I just want to say that we can hear you screaming.
00:09:51Of all the romantic couples in Westeros,
00:10:08Jon Snow and Ygritte are our king and queen of chemistry.
00:10:11It doesn't surprise us that they fell in love in real life.
00:10:14Both Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon have their share of iconic kisses.
00:10:18Gendry and Arya's was perhaps the most long-awaited.
00:10:21Rhaenyra and Messaria's was pretty groundbreaking.
00:10:24However, it's Jon and Ygritte's kisses that really stick with us.
00:10:28We remember this particular scene because it feels so bittersweet.
00:10:31It may have been the beginning of the end.
00:10:33But like Ygritte,
00:10:34we hoped that this couple could hang on to their happiness for just a little longer.
00:10:48You're mine.
00:10:52And I'm yours.
00:10:59You can't marry Tanya.
00:11:03Wait, are you okay? Do you need me?
00:11:07No, no, no, it's okay.
00:11:08Back in the early 2000s,
00:11:11The L Word was groundbreaking in its portrayal of lesbian sex and romance.
00:11:16Created by a mostly female team,
00:11:18it revolved around an ensemble cast of gay and bisexual women living in West Hollywood.
00:11:23Alice and Dana started the series as best friends,
00:11:26vowing never to end up in bed together.
00:11:28Ow!
00:11:29Please, I am not that desperate.
00:11:32You, Alice, neither am I.
00:11:34Dana, I'm just, you know,
00:11:38I don't want to be one of those people who sleeps with their friends.
00:11:41Neither do I.
00:11:42But when Dana got engaged,
00:11:43unexpected feelings began to rise to the surface.
00:11:46In the season one finale,
00:11:48Alice turned up at Dana's apartment unannounced
00:11:50and confessed her feelings with a kiss.
00:11:52Their relationship might have been short-lived,
00:11:55but this passionate moment is one of the series' most memorable.
00:11:58What are you talking about? Why?
00:12:01Because.
00:12:04Because why?
00:12:09Timing and the words were never right.
00:12:18Number 90, TJ Detweiler and Ashley Spinelli, Recess.
00:12:23Guys, I've seen the future,
00:12:25and the future is girls.
00:12:28No!
00:12:29Recess was a formative show for many 90s kids,
00:12:32and The Experiment is one of its most memorable episodes.
00:12:35The fourth graders of Third Street School are horrified
00:12:38when Butch relates a terrible tale of his older brother's exploits.
00:12:42In doing so, he gives the gang a glimpse of an unimaginable future,
00:12:45where kissing is the order of the day.
00:12:48Boys kissing girls!
00:12:49Girls kissing boys!
00:12:51And you know what else?
00:12:53We're all gonna like it!
00:12:56An experiment is launched,
00:12:58and TJ and Spinelli draw the short straws.
00:13:00The kids of the playground gather with bated breath.
00:13:03The friends lock lips,
00:13:04and for a moment, it's all sunshine and rainbows.
00:13:07But when the moment passes,
00:13:09they return to their senses.
00:13:10And we remember that they're only nine years old.
00:13:14Ew!
00:13:15Yuck!
00:13:16Puke city!
00:13:17Quick!
00:13:17Somebody give me some mouthwash!
00:13:19Number 89,
00:13:21Wade Kinsella and Zoe Hart,
00:13:23Heart of Dixie.
00:13:24Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester,
00:13:35Jane Eyre.
00:13:36It is mine.
00:13:38All mine, and I forbid it.
00:13:39Number 87,
00:13:51Richard Harrow and Julia Sigorski,
00:13:53Boardwalk Empire.
00:13:55Hold on.
00:13:57Let's give them something to think about.
00:13:59Oh!
00:14:01Oh!
00:14:01Oh!
00:14:01Oh!
00:14:01Oh!
00:14:02Oh!
00:14:02Oh!
00:14:02Oh!
00:14:03Oh!
00:14:03Oh!
00:14:03Oh!
00:14:04Oh!
00:14:04Oh!
00:14:04Oh!
00:14:05Oh!
00:14:05Oh!
00:14:05Oh!
00:14:06Oh!
00:14:06Oh!
00:14:06Oh!
00:14:07Oh!
00:14:07Oh!
00:14:08Oh!
00:14:08Oh!
00:14:08Oh!
00:14:09Oh!
00:14:09The Last of Us.
00:14:24Number 85,
00:14:26Connell Waldron and Marianne Sheridan,
00:14:28Normal People.
00:14:29Stay.
00:14:30I can't.
00:14:32I don't have class until three.
00:14:34Yeah, but I've got to go home and get some stuff,
00:14:35and my worries about me.
00:14:38This memorable romantic drama is all about the chemistry between the leads and their tortured
00:14:43emotional journey, so there are plenty of kisses to choose from.
00:14:47We've picked one of their happier moments, when, for a short time, both Connell and Marianne
00:14:52are at peace with themselves and feeling secure with each other.
00:14:55They're at college, they're back together, and the uneven power dynamics feel like they've
00:15:00finally evened out.
00:15:01There's no angst.
00:15:02There's just two best friends, young and in love.
00:15:05It all goes wrong again, quite quickly, but we'll take the joy where we can get it.
00:15:10Number 84,
00:15:25Maddie Hayes and David Addison, Moonlighting.
00:15:28Smell awful.
00:15:32Hey, I didn't mean it.
00:15:33Come here.
00:15:35Hey, I was only kidding.
00:15:36Come here.
00:15:43Number 83, Mork and Mindy McConnell.
00:15:46Mork and Mindy.
00:15:47I'd like to kiss my pal.
00:15:48Oh, pulse.
00:15:58Rapid heartbeat.
00:16:00Number 82, Ed Hurley and Norma Jennings, Twin Peaks.
00:16:05I've been loving you, just a little bit too long.
00:16:12Hello.
00:16:15Number 81, Margaret Hale and Mr. Thornton, North and South.
00:16:19Number 80, Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson, Glee.
00:16:44Watching you do Blackbird this week, that was a moment for me.
00:16:52We loved Finn and Rachel, we shipped Brittany and Santana, but the award for the sweetest
00:16:57kiss in Glee has to go to Kurt and Blaine.
00:17:00As the only openly gay kid in school for most of the first season, Kurt had to wait a while
00:17:05for a serious love interest.
00:17:07However, in season two, he briefly transferred to Dalton Academy, a private school with a dashing
00:17:12rival glee club and a handsome lead singer.
00:17:15Blackbird singing in the dead of night.
00:17:19Take these broken wings and learn to fly.
00:17:23Back at McKinley, Kurt was used to being treated like a joke, so he never expected his crush
00:17:28might be returned.
00:17:30It took him and us totally by surprise when it was Blaine who fell hard first and wasn't
00:17:35afraid to act on his feelings.
00:17:42Number 79, Sidney Bristow and Michael Vaughn, alias.
00:17:55Number 78, Laura Ingalls Wilder and Almanzo Wilder.
00:18:12Little House on the Prairie.
00:18:23Number 77, Georgia Miller and Joe Sing, Ginny and Georgia.
00:18:28Joe, it's goodbye.
00:18:32Number 76, Jamal Lyon and Kai Gibbons, Empire.
00:18:53I now pronounce you, husband and husband.
00:18:58Number 75, Jane Villanueva and Rafael Solano, Jane the Virgin.
00:19:19Subtle romance can be nice, but if you're looking for unrestrained passion, drama and
00:19:33big romantic gestures, look no further than the world of the telenovela.
00:19:37Jane the Virgin's tongue-in-cheek take on the format provides us with lots of laughs, but
00:19:41also its fair share of kick-your-feet romantic moments.
00:19:48Whether you were team Raphael or committed to Michael, you have to agree that this kiss
00:19:55was pretty special.
00:19:56Jane's decision here was a difficult one to make, but she came to it all on her own.
00:20:01She was rewarded with this perfect romantic moment.
00:20:04Cue the music, the twirling, and the flower petals.
00:20:07I broke up with Michael.
00:20:10I wait for light like water from the sky and I am lost again.
00:20:19In the sea of lovers without ships and lovers without signs.
00:20:27Number 74, Catherine the Great and Peter III of Russia, The Great.
00:20:31Try and stop breathing again.
00:20:34And then?
00:20:43Number 73, Sokka and Yue, Avatar the Last Airbender.
00:20:48Okay, you don't have to say anything.
00:20:50I'll see you around, okay?
00:20:55Okay, now I'm really confused.
00:20:58Number 72, Eve Palastri and Villanelle, Killing Eve.
00:21:16Take your time to me.
00:21:20Number 71, Richard Castle and Kate Beckett, Castle.
00:21:24Beckett, what do you want?
00:21:28You.
00:21:39I'm so sorry, Castle.
00:21:42Number 70, Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe, Anne of Avonlea.
00:21:47Hello, Anne.
00:21:48Hello, Gil.
00:21:49You're looking very robust.
00:21:51Well, I guess I just made up my mind I wasn't going to let it lick me.
00:21:56Whether you discover them through L.M. Montgomery's books or one of the screen adaptations,
00:22:00can we all agree that Anne and Gilbert deserve a place among the most beloved fictional couples?
00:22:05Their evolution from enemies to friends, then from friends to lovers,
00:22:09takes a slightly different route in each version of the tale.
00:22:12The dreams dearest to my heart are right here.
00:22:16Well, I hope you keep on dreaming.
00:22:18But every time, we're gripped.
00:22:22Their first kiss in Anne with an E is very sweet.
00:22:24However, we think it's topped by this memorable scene from the 1987 miniseries Anne of Avonlea.
00:22:30Gilbert Blythe might not always have been Anne Shirley's dream man,
00:22:34but he's definitely one of ours.
00:22:36I just want you.
00:22:37Number 69, Betty Cooper and Jughead Jones, Riverdale.
00:22:55What?
00:22:59What?
00:23:00Number 68, Alina Starkov and General Alexander Kerrigan, Shadow and Bone.
00:23:17I suppose she'll probably be all right.
00:23:24Don't you think?
00:23:25No. 67, Jack and Oshie, Samurai Jack.
00:23:44No. 66, Will Gardner and Alicia Florek, The Good Wife.
00:24:08And let yourself let go.
00:24:12Cause it's all in the hands of a beat to beat someone.
00:24:22Say goodbye.
00:24:24Number 65, Margaret Hot Lips Houlihan and Benjamin Franklin Hawkeye Pierce.
00:24:29MASH.
00:24:32What?
00:24:32What?
00:24:33What?
00:24:33Stop it, William.
00:24:34Stop it.
00:24:35Margaret, all right, wait a minute.
00:24:36You're a faithful, you can't.
00:24:36You don't have us like more animals.
00:24:38Quiet.
00:24:38In the early seasons of MASH, Major Margaret Houlihan kept herself aloof from the 4077th,
00:24:45when she wasn't enforcing the rules or sparring with Hawkeye.
00:24:48However, it was clear that the pair had great chemistry, and as the series progressed, they
00:24:53became good friends.
00:24:54So, uh, listen.
00:24:57Yeah.
00:24:58Yeah.
00:24:58Though a relationship never materialized, MASH didn't deny their viewers the satisfaction
00:25:06of a passionate kiss or two.
00:25:08The Hawkeye-Houlihan kiss in the grand finale was reportedly one of TV's costliest, due to
00:25:13the price of placing a commercial just before the big moment.
00:25:16But the most dramatic kiss was their first, the night the bombs brought them together.
00:25:20Stop it.
00:25:21Stop it.
00:25:22Just leave us alone.
00:25:23Just stop it.
00:25:23Stop it.
00:25:24Stop it.
00:25:25Stop it.
00:25:26Stop it.
00:25:27Stop it.
00:25:28Stop it.
00:25:29Stop it.
00:25:30When you cut it out.
00:25:31Stop it.
00:25:32Stop it.
00:25:33Stop it.
00:25:34You cut it out.
00:25:35Stop it.
00:25:36Stop it.
00:25:37I'm confused, because I think you just paid me a compliment, but you made it set.
00:25:42Number 63, Leo Wyatt and Piper Halliwell.
00:25:53Charmed.
00:25:54Leo, how do you feel about women who make the first move?
00:25:57I don't know.
00:25:58I'm still waiting for it to happen.
00:26:00Goodness.
00:26:07Number 62, Dwayne Cleophus Wayne and Whitley Gilbert.
00:26:11A Different World.
00:26:17What was that for?
00:26:20Happy Valentine's Day.
00:26:22Number 61, Kevin Arnold and Winnie Cooper.
00:26:25The Wonder Years.
00:26:26It was the first kiss for both of us.
00:26:41We never really talked about it afterward.
00:26:43Number 60, Edward II and Pierce Gaveston.
00:26:47Edward II.
00:26:48The British TV adaptation of that play screened on PBS America, sometimes at 5pm in the afternoon.
00:26:57And it featured a really passionate gay kiss between James Lawrenson and Ian McKellen.
00:27:04In 1970, the BBC broadcast the first gay kiss on British TV, in a televised version of the Christopher Marlowe play Edward II.
00:27:13Starring Ian McKellen in the lead role, the production featured a passionate kiss between King Edward and Pierce Gaveston, who was portrayed by James Lawrenson.
00:27:21The play was also broadcast in the U.S.
00:27:24Discussing the kiss in 2022, McKellen said, quote,
00:27:27The BBC wasn't out to shock people or educate people.
00:27:31It was just doing a play that had a big success at the Edinburgh Festival and two seasons in London.
00:27:36I think it's the first play ever with a gay hero.
00:27:39We were not gay sweatshop.
00:27:41We were mainstream devotees of classical theatre.
00:27:45And that's how the play was received, I think.
00:27:47And why it was put on television.
00:27:49Now, I've met many, many Americans who say this production was crucial in their lives.
00:27:57Number 59, Fran Fine and Maxwell Sheffield, The Nanny.
00:28:02France.
00:28:04France.
00:28:06France.
00:28:22France.
00:28:24France.
00:28:26France.
00:28:28Number 57. Lady Jane Grey and Lord Guildford Dudley, My Lady Jane.
00:28:44I've never given up on anything in my entire life.
00:28:47Is that so?
00:28:48It is so.
00:28:48Really?
00:28:48Really.
00:28:49Then prove it.
00:28:49Oh my goodness, you have to come smell this one. It smells like a perfume or something.
00:29:15Yeah.
00:29:15We all love a slow burn, and Abbott Elementary has the sitcom romance formula off to a fine
00:29:24art. Dozens of little friendship moments, combined with that ever-present romantic tension, eventually
00:29:30led to our faves, Janine and Gregory, locking lips at the end of season two.
00:29:36Oh, I hear something. Wake it down, wake it down.
00:29:42Oh, but no, really should smell this one. It smells so good.
00:29:45However, despite that smooth move with the lanyard, the couple let the moment pass without
00:29:50keeping the momentum going.
00:30:00Thankfully, that wasn't the end of their story. In the season three finale, Janine finally
00:30:05decides to chase down Mr. Eddie and tell him how she feels. But then there's a ring at the
00:30:10doorbell. The fourth wall-breaking kiss that followed is now permanently seared into our
00:30:14memory.
00:30:17I fixed your light.
00:30:29Number 54. Steed Bonnet and Edward Teach. Our flag means death.
00:30:34Well, that's, uh, that's...
00:30:41Number 53. Lucifer Morningstar and Chloe Decker. Lucifer.
00:30:50Number 52. Josh Lyman and Donna Moss, The West Wing.
00:31:14Hi. When I said we needed to talk, I wasn't necessarily thinking about tonight. I'm kind
00:31:20of fried.
00:31:21I said anything about talking.
00:31:27Number 51. Alex Karev and Izzy Stevens. Grey's Anatomy.
00:31:33What?
00:31:36What?
00:31:37Some things simply speak for themselves.
00:31:49Number 50. Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, The X-Files.
00:31:53Friends and beloved ones tied to whoever that person is next to.
00:31:58Oh, time like the present. Are you ready? Here we go. Ten, nine, three.
00:32:03Mulder and Scully's will-they-won't-they tension was part of what made The X-Files so watchable,
00:32:08but there is debate over which episode features their first real kiss. We're going to guess that
00:32:13the one in Triangle doesn't count. It's the first time the characters appear to kiss on screen,
00:32:18but it also takes place in an alternate 1930s reality where Scully is not really Scully.
00:32:24The Millennium Kiss may not be as dramatic, but it's much more real. The partners see in the
00:32:29New Year together in a hospital waiting room. As they usher in a new century, they also embark
00:32:34on a new stage of their relationship.
00:32:36Number 49. Luce Noseda and Amity Blight, The Owl House.
00:33:01Luce. Sweet potato. I'm going to take you out when this is all over, Amity. I promise.
00:33:08No monsters, no mysteries, no deadly duels. It's going to be the most mundane slice of life
00:33:13date ever, and it'll be awesome. I know.
00:33:21Oh, crikey.
00:33:22Number 48. Arthur Pendragon and Gwen. Merlin.
00:33:31Number 47. Mary and Bash, Rain.
00:33:52I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that.
00:33:54You're right, son. I should have.
00:33:57And you're the first to come around.
00:34:02Number 46. Dexter Mayhew and Emma Morley, One Day.
00:34:09Deeper than any sea.
00:34:21Deeper than any sea.
00:34:24Number 45. Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass, Gossip Girl.
00:34:30Thanks a lot of time.
00:34:32You are amazing out there.
00:34:35It's strange to think that at the very beginning of this seminal series, Blair and Nate, not Blair and Chuck, were the Upper East Side's it couple.
00:34:43Blair was the preppy Queen Bee with her sights set on Yale. Chuck was an incurable playboy with a bad reputation that was thoroughly deserved.
00:34:50Somehow, they just made sense. Their six-season-spanning relationship was tumultuous and often toxic.
00:34:57But from the moment Blair took to the stage at Chuck's club, we knew this was the start of something exciting.
00:35:03Their kiss, in the cab home, was the first of many. But it's still our favorite.
00:35:08For sure.
00:35:20Number 44. Mindy Lahiri and Danny Castellano, The Mindy Project.
00:35:25Hey, Danny, all these waters look the same. I just don't.
00:35:28All right.
00:35:38Number 43. Taranga Leela and Philip J. Fry, Futurama.
00:35:43Fry, this is for you.
00:35:51Number 42. Devi Vishvakumar and Paxton Hall Yoshida, Never Have I Ever.
00:35:56Number 41. Raymond Holt and Kevin Cosner, Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
00:36:16I'll compromise on everything. The work.
00:36:18Number 42. Matthew and Mary Crawley, Downton Abbey.
00:36:31For coming to Sybil's rescue. You were very brave. She told me you knocked a man down.
00:36:38When the Titanic went down, Lady Mary Crawley lost her fiancé, but gained a potential suitor in the form of Cousin Matthew, her father's new heir.
00:36:46At first, Mary wasn't Matthew's biggest fan.
00:36:50He was a middle-class interloper, unjustly inheriting the estate that should have been hers.
00:36:55She was proud, snobbish, and ready to give him hell.
00:36:59However, their chemistry, and Matthew's kindness, soon began to work in his favor.
00:37:04We could have included more than one kiss in this list.
00:37:07Perhaps the clandestine moment witnessed by poor Lavinia, or the scene in the snow the night the couple get engaged.
00:37:13But we've gone with the first kiss, because it perfectly sums up their relationship.
00:37:28Number 39. Tim Canterbury and Dawn Tinsley, The Office.
00:37:33Number 38. Pacey Witter and Joey Potter, Dawson's Creek.
00:37:52I don't want to talk anymore.
00:37:54What are you trying to say, Pacey? Why are we standing?
00:37:56There's comfort. Take comfort wherever you can.
00:38:03Number 37. Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen. Adventure Time.
00:38:08I don't want to lose you again.
00:38:11Hey, I'm a tough gum.
00:38:14Nothing never happening to me. Never.
00:38:17I know, I'm...
00:38:19Girl, you phrased that so weird.
00:38:21I might have a concussion.
00:38:22Number 36. Penny Widmore and Desmond Hume. Lost.
00:38:33I love you, Penny.
00:38:36And I'll never leave you again.
00:38:44Number 35. Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring. Heartstopper.
00:38:49So you don't have a crush on anyone at the moment?
00:38:55Well, I didn't say that.
00:38:59On-screen teen romance has never been more adorable than the love story between Nick and Charlie,
00:39:03the young couple at the heart of Alice Oseman's Heartstopper.
00:39:07In this gentle coming-of-age tale, Charlie, an openly gay teen,
00:39:11develops a crush on rugby player Nick,
00:39:13who discovers his own bisexuality when he falls for his new best friend.
00:39:17Hi.
00:39:19The pair have a poignant, innocent chemistry
00:39:28as they take their first tentative steps towards true love.
00:39:31Their interactions are sweet enough to give you a toothache,
00:39:34and their first kiss is perfection.
00:39:37We love the umbrella kiss, too.
00:39:49Number 34. Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. Harley Quinn.
00:39:55We did it.
00:39:58Number 33. Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Smallville.
00:40:09Lois.
00:40:09I'm sorry. I never should have tried out in the first place or dragged you there with me, and I just...
00:40:19Number 32, Phineas Flynn and Isabella Garcia Shapiro, Phineas and Ferb.
00:40:24You're not related, are we?
00:40:26Oh, no, no, not a chance. I only have just the one sister.
00:40:30Good.
00:40:33Number 31, Veronica Mars and Logan Eccles, Veronica Mars.
00:40:39All of me.
00:40:42All to all.
00:40:44Well, isn't this just a momentary thing?
00:40:50Number 30, Lucy and Ricky Ricardo, the Lucy Desi Comedy Hour.
00:40:55Hey, look at that. That's the night before we got married.
00:40:58Gee, that's a cute couple. I wonder what ever happened to them.
00:41:02Haven't you heard? They live happily ever after.
00:41:05Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz were the real-life married couple behind the seminal sitcom I Love Lucy and the spin-off series that followed.
00:41:12The Lucy Desi Comedy Hour ran for three years, and when it ended, so did the actor's marriage.
00:41:18In the very last scene of the finale, Lucy and Ricky, a.k.a. Desi, said an emotional goodbye to the audience, as well as to each other.
00:41:27I like that all the time.
00:41:28No.
00:41:29Well, ho, ho, that tickles.
00:41:32The following day, Lucy filed for divorce.
00:41:36Later, Arnaz said, quote,
00:41:38A kiss that would wrap up 20 years of love and friendship, triumphs and failures, ecstasy and sex, jealousy and regrets, heartbreaks and laughter and tears.
00:41:47Number 29, Mickey Milkovich and Ian Gallagher, Shameless.
00:42:06Number 28, Amy Sosa and Jonah Sims, Superstore.
00:42:10Number 27, Carol Hathaway and Doug Ross, E.R.
00:42:21Number 26, Corey Matthews and Topanga Lawrence, Boy Meets World.
00:42:37Number 25, Daphne Moon and Niles Crane, Frasier.
00:42:55I'm sorry about all that.
00:42:57I must be in love.
00:42:59It doesn't even bother me that you come with them.
00:43:02Niles Crane's infatuation with Daphne was one of Frasier's longest running gags, but it was more than just a joke.
00:43:09We watched their relationship develop across seven seasons full of missed opportunities and comedy mishaps, but there were quieter moments too.
00:43:17We knew that they could be perfect for each other if Niles ever plucked up the courage to tell Daphne how he felt.
00:43:23It wasn't the best timing, but on the eve of her wedding, to another man, Dr. Crane finally made his move.
00:43:31It was the moment we'd all been waiting for, and it didn't disappoint.
00:43:35Number 24, Ruby and Sapphire, Steven Universe.
00:43:47And by the power vested in me by the state of Delmarva, I now pronounce you Garnet!
00:43:53Number 23, Stiles Stilinski and Lydia Martin, Teen Wolf.
00:44:05Look at me.
00:44:06Look at me.
00:44:10There's a ghost upon the world tonight.
00:44:15Now it's in our house.
00:44:20Number 22, Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big.
00:44:24Sex and the City.
00:44:25They cry, baby.
00:44:39Number 21, Temperance Bones Brennan and Celie Booth.
00:44:43Bones.
00:44:44Why did you feel you had to tell me?
00:44:46Yeah, I just feel like this is going somewhere.
00:44:51Why did you feel this is going somewhere?
00:44:54I just feel like I'm gonna kiss you.
00:45:03Number 20, Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler, The Big Bang Theory.
00:45:08What is your problem?
00:45:09It's Valentine's Day.
00:45:10We're supposed to be having a romantic weekend.
00:45:13Oh, really?
00:45:14Because I remember you saying that this trip was going to be something we could both enjoy.
00:45:18We never would have expected The Big Bang Theory's most passionate kiss to come from Sheldon Cooper of all people.
00:45:24But sometimes the world works in mysterious ways.
00:45:27Despite an IQ of 187, the theoretical physicist was never the most skilled at social interaction.
00:45:33And the opposite sex might as well have been a different species.
00:45:36Excuse me?
00:45:37I'm Amy Farrah Fowler.
00:45:38You're Sheldon Cooper.
00:45:40Hello, Amy Farrah Fowler.
00:45:42I'm sorry to inform you that you have been taken in by unsupportable mathematics designed to prey on the gullible and the lonely.
00:45:49Additionally, I'm being blackmailed with a hidden dirty sock.
00:45:53Then he met Amy.
00:45:54They may not be a typical couple, but it's clear that they care for each other.
00:45:59Technically, their first kiss took place pretty early on.
00:46:02But for that big romantic moment, we had to hang fire until season 7.
00:46:06It was a long wait, but it was worth it.
00:46:09You blinked.
00:46:10I win.
00:46:11Let's see.
00:46:12What's next?
00:46:13Oh, kissing's romantic.
00:46:24Number 19.
00:46:26Joanne and Noah Rocklove.
00:46:28Nobody Wants This.
00:46:29Isn't it crazy that we never kissed this whole time?
00:46:33Like, how did that happen?
00:46:34Yeah, I'm very aware we haven't kissed, yeah.
00:46:36The golden age of the romantic comedy movie may be far behind us, but there have been some great rom-com series released in the last few years.
00:46:44Nobody Wants This is one of our favorites.
00:46:46The show stars Kristen Bell as a sex and dating podcaster who agrees to a date with Adam Brody's hot rabbi.
00:46:52A gentleman I never would have spoken to had I known you were engaged.
00:46:56Not engaged.
00:46:57Almost, yes, but it never happened.
00:46:59I think that's an important distinction.
00:47:01Despite the obvious chemistry, the pair quickly comes to the conclusion that they're just too different.
00:47:06But without a first kiss, can they really be so sure?
00:47:09But what if we had just, like, one goodbye kiss?
00:47:14Hmm.
00:47:16Showrunner Aaron Foster told Entertainment Weekly, quote,
00:47:19I really wanted to just create a moment that gave you those kinds of anticipatory, exciting feelings.
00:47:25And it totally worked.
00:47:27The build-up to this particular kiss is what makes it so spine-tinglingly romantic.
00:47:31Number 18.
00:47:46Catra and Adora.
00:47:48She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.
00:47:50I've got you.
00:47:51I'm not letting go.
00:47:53Don't you get it?
00:47:55I love you.
00:47:56I always have.
00:47:58So please, just this one.
00:48:01Stay.
00:48:03The original She-Ra Princess of Power was a 1980s spinoff of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
00:48:09This time aimed at girls.
00:48:11In 2018, She-Ra found a whole new generation of fans.
00:48:15Following a shiny new Netflix reboot.
00:48:17In this version, She-Ra and her childhood friend and sometimes enemy Catra
00:48:21had some serious will-they-won't-they vibes.
00:48:24And the viewers were invested.
00:48:26Hey, Adora.
00:48:28How's it hanging?
00:48:29Catra.
00:48:30Did you really show up late and let us do all the hard parts?
00:48:33That is low.
00:48:35Although they fought on opposing sides,
00:48:37we were all waiting for these two soulmates to get back on the same page.
00:48:41The show was dogged by accusations of queerbaiting,
00:48:44but the season 5 finale made it abundantly clear that they were unfounded.
00:48:48The ladies professed their love,
00:48:50and their passionate kiss was the happy ending we'd all been hoping for.
00:48:54You love me.
00:48:56You're such an idiot.
00:49:01I love you too.
00:49:03I love you too.
00:49:04I love you too.
00:49:06I love you too.
00:49:07I love you too.
00:49:14Number 17.
00:49:15Claire and Jamie Fraser, Outlander.
00:49:18You make a kiss your bride.
00:49:20Outlander season one wedding episode was definitely a moment and cemented the show's
00:49:28reputation as one of the sexiest period dramas to ever grace our screens. But it wasn't all
00:49:34about the bodice ripping. It was also seriously romantic. Claire, our heroine, begins the series
00:49:40as a former World War II nurse, traveling Scotland with her husband. When she's thrown back in time,
00:49:45it's goodbye Frank and hello Jamie Fraser, a handsome Scottish Klansman who's willing to
00:49:50make her a wife again. It all sounds very complicated, but despite their unorthodox
00:50:00beginning, the wedding is the start of an epic love story for Claire and Jamie. And that kiss is
00:50:05pretty special too.
00:50:20Number 16. Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington. Bridgerton.
00:50:31I do not wish to die without ever having been kissed.
00:50:36Every season of Bridgerton has its own water cooler kiss moment. For Daphne and Simon, it was their
00:50:41rendezvous in the maze. Anthony and Kate got passionate at the altar. And for Colin and Pen,
00:50:47it was the carriage scene. Penelope Featherington had been pining for the third Bridgerton brother
00:50:52since the very beginning. And we were all waiting for the day she would finally get her man.
00:50:57Their first kiss was sweet, but it was way more satisfying to see our favorite wallflower
00:51:01drive Colin wild with desire. We'll never hear that Pitbull song the same way again.
00:51:17Number 15. Buffy Summers and Angel. Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
00:51:23I did a lot of thinking today. I really can't be around you. Because when I am...
00:51:29Hey. No big. Water. Over the bridge. Under the bridge.
00:51:34How badly I want to kiss you. Kiss me?
00:51:36Just like the Bridgerton fans, Buffy aficionados might find it hard to agree on what constitutes
00:51:41the show's most iconic kiss. As lesbian relationships were still rarely given airtime back in the 90s,
00:51:48every kiss between Willow and Tara was kind of a big deal. Then for the Spike fans,
00:51:53there's that memorable musical episode.
00:51:55This isn't real. You can make me feel. But I just want to feel.
00:52:05Where do we go from here?
00:52:13But of course, Buffy's flagship romance has to be between the Slayer and her angelic vampire boyfriend.
00:52:19When Buffy and Angel shared their first kiss, she didn't know his secret. But he didn't take long
00:52:24to enlighten her. It's a great moment, encapsulating everything that made the show entertaining.
00:52:30Drama, horror, romance, and comedy.
00:52:33I should.
00:52:35Girl.
00:52:36You should.
00:52:49Number 14. Emma Swan and Captain Hook. Once Upon a Time.
00:52:56Did you really save his life?
00:52:59Did that surprise you?
00:53:02Well, you and David aren't exactly...
00:53:04How do you say it?
00:53:07Mites.
00:53:08It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that a tall, dark, and handsome rogue in black leather
00:53:13is like catnip for the romantic-y girlies.
00:53:16Oh, and bonus points if he has a British accent.
00:53:19With the dashing Cillian Jones, Once Upon a Time really understood the assignment.
00:53:24Cillian Jones.
00:53:25But most people have taken to call me by my more colorful moniker.
00:53:30Hook.
00:53:30When Hook first raised those slutty little eyebrows at Emma,
00:53:34we knew the Captain Swan ship was soon to set sail.
00:53:37Plus, a pirate captain trading his ship to save your family?
00:53:41That's true love right there.
00:53:42It may have taken a while for that first kiss to lead to something more,
00:53:46but we were happy to wait and watch the romance unfold.
00:53:49Your father's life is worth it to you?
00:53:52Please.
00:53:54He couldn't handle it.
00:53:56Perhaps you're the one who couldn't handle it.
00:53:58Number 13, Nathan Scott and Haley James, One Tree Hill.
00:54:13I'll live the queen, and I'll be the king.
00:54:18Ah!
00:54:20Was One Tree Hill the series that first popularized the kissing in the rain trope?
00:54:24The show's flagship couple, Nathan and Haley, certainly spent a lot of time making out in a downpour.
00:54:30But maybe that's what kept their romance alive for almost nine seasons.
00:54:33Their first rain-soaked rendezvous was also their first makeup kiss.
00:54:37In the season one finale, in the aftermath of a big argument,
00:54:41Haley comes home to a penitent Nathan.
00:54:43He's standing outside her house, preparing himself to catch pneumonia,
00:54:47all for a chance to say sorry and tell her that he loves her.
00:54:50Nathan! You're soaked! What are you doing?
00:54:55I just went for a run to clear my head.
00:54:58I guess this is where I ended up.
00:55:00It's a simple romantic gesture, but it works on Haley.
00:55:03Who are we kidding? It would work on us, too.
00:55:06Because you're looking really hot standing out here in the rain,
00:55:08and I'm thinking, I have to kiss you.
00:55:10I'm gonna hold you closer
00:55:13Look, you have to.
00:55:15And when I kiss you, so your body be free
00:55:23I'm gonna love you more than anyone
00:55:27Number 12. Summer Roberts and Seth Cohen, The O.C.
00:55:34Cohen?
00:55:37Cohen!
00:55:38Help!
00:55:39Talking of reconciliations in the rain,
00:55:43can we get some love for Seth and Summer
00:55:44and the season two Spider-Man kiss?
00:55:47Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst's upside-down kiss
00:55:49from the 2002 Spider-Man movie
00:55:51is probably the most iconic cinematic smooch of this century.
00:55:56So iconic, in fact, that a recreation,
00:55:58like this one in The O.C.,
00:56:00can become famous in its own right.
00:56:02Cohen?
00:56:04Cohen?
00:56:04Cohen?
00:56:05Oh my...
00:56:06What are you doing here?
00:56:11What do you think, Cohen?
00:56:13It may be only an homage,
00:56:14not an original move.
00:56:16But to give Seth his due,
00:56:18it's a difficult feat to pull off.
00:56:20After all, Spider-Man had superpowers,
00:56:22but Seth was relying on his own ingenuity.
00:56:25It's very impressive, really.
00:56:26You will probably need a company
00:56:30if you let's love
00:56:32In a champagne supernova
00:56:36Number 11.
00:56:38Ned and Chuck, Pushing Daisies.
00:56:40Oh, I mean, it's a long time.
00:56:42A lot can happen in a minute.
00:56:43Besides, the longer someone's around
00:56:44that's not supposed to be around,
00:56:45the more likely it is that something will happen.
00:56:48Not necessarily directly or by any fault of theirs,
00:56:51but, you know, butterfly wings and such.
00:56:53What about them?
00:56:54They cause hurricanes.
00:56:55Oh, right.
00:56:56Pushing Daisies was a darkly comic,
00:56:58crime-fantasy comedy fairy tale,
00:57:00so basically all the genres.
00:57:03It still managed to have a lot of heart.
00:57:05Li Pei starred as Ned,
00:57:07a pie maker with the gift of life and death.
00:57:10If you're dead and he touches you,
00:57:11you come back to life.
00:57:12But if he touches you again,
00:57:14you're dead forever.
00:57:19Wilfred, what's wrong?
00:57:22The pie maker considered the choices he made
00:57:25that brought him to this very moment,
00:57:27a moment that may be his last.
00:57:29The problems arise when Ned reanimates
00:57:31someone he would really like to touch.
00:57:34For example, his childhood sweetheart,
00:57:36Chuck, played by Anna Friel.
00:57:37After our hero misadvisedly brings
00:57:39his beloved back from the dead,
00:57:41he can't help but fall in love all over again.
00:57:44All is not lost, however.
00:57:46When it comes to kissing,
00:57:47they just have to get creative.
00:57:49Am I a hurricane?
00:57:51A little bit, but I, uh,
00:57:52I like the weather.
00:58:00You really shouldn't do that.
00:58:04Chuck wasn't the only storm brewing
00:58:06in the pie hole that evening.
00:58:08Number 10.
00:58:09James T. Kirk and Neota Uhura.
00:58:12Star Trek The Original Series.
00:58:13I'm so frightened, Captain.
00:58:16I'm so very frightened.
00:58:19That's the way they want you to feel.
00:58:21Makes them think that they're alive.
00:58:23In this memorable Star Trek episode,
00:58:26William Shatner's Kirk and Nichelle Nichols' Uhura
00:58:28are compelled to kiss via psychokinesis.
00:58:31It was the first scripted kiss
00:58:32between a black woman and a white man
00:58:34ever broadcast on U.S. television.
00:58:37However, as the time drew near for the kiss to air,
00:58:39the network began to get cold feet.
00:58:41First, it was suggested that Spock
00:58:43could kiss Uhura in Kirk's place
00:58:45until William Shatner insisted otherwise.
00:58:48Then, after the kiss was filmed,
00:58:50NBC decided they wanted a second take
00:58:53where the couple's lips didn't actually touch.
00:58:55Nichols and Shatner did everything they could
00:58:57to sabotage the alternative take,
00:59:00and thanks to their efforts,
00:59:01it was the real kiss that eventually
00:59:02made it to the screen.
00:59:04But I'm not afraid.
00:59:07I am not afraid.
00:59:11Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable
00:59:31There's nothing more wholesome than a slow-burn,
00:59:35friends-to-lovers couple in a show made for kids.
00:59:37Kim and Ron have been best friends
00:59:39since they were toddlers,
00:59:40and they've always had each other's backs.
00:59:42Although they're total opposites,
00:59:44they make the perfect team,
00:59:46whether they're saving the world
00:59:47or just hanging out after school.
00:59:49She's the action heroine,
00:59:50he's the sidekick,
00:59:52but they're both cool with that.
00:59:53His laid-back persona balances out
00:59:55her type A tendencies.
00:59:57Throughout the show,
00:59:58there were little moments here and there
00:59:59that gave us a clue
01:00:00to their future romantic status,
01:00:02but it wasn't until the season 3 finale
01:00:04that our faves made it official.
01:00:06The kiss at the prom is the cutest.
01:00:08Could it be that it's true
01:00:10that it's you?
01:00:13And it's you?
01:00:16Number 8.
01:00:17Elena Gilbert and Damon Salvatore
01:00:19The Vampire Diaries
01:00:20Sorry, Stefan fans,
01:00:22but however much we love him,
01:00:24it was always going to be
01:00:25a Damon and Elena moment
01:00:27that scored a spot on this list.
01:00:28The fan-favorite couple
01:00:29took a long time to get together,
01:00:31but long-awaited kisses are the best,
01:00:33especially when they've been teased a few times.
01:00:36It wasn't until midway through season 3
01:00:38that Damon made a serious move,
01:00:40throwing caution and loyalty
01:00:42to his brother,
01:00:43to the wind.
01:00:44Then it was Elena's turn
01:00:45to make a choice.
01:00:46By this point,
01:00:47it was pretty obvious to the audience
01:00:49where her heart would lead her,
01:00:50but that didn't make that motel kiss
01:00:52any less exciting.
01:00:53From the arms of the ocean
01:00:56I came
01:00:59When all this sea ocean
01:01:03Was rushing on me
01:01:06Number 7.
01:01:08David Rose and Patrick Brewer
01:01:10Schitt's Creek
01:01:11Well, that was a fun night.
01:01:16I'm really glad that I decided
01:01:17to invest in your business, David.
01:01:19It didn't take long
01:01:21for Schitt's Creek viewers
01:01:22to invest in the budding relationship
01:01:24between David and Patrick.
01:01:26Soon enough,
01:01:26they were everyone's favorite couple.
01:01:29David was a spoiled rich kid
01:01:30who had always gone
01:01:31for the wrong kind of guys,
01:01:33but taking a chance on Patrick
01:01:34made him look at the world
01:01:35in a whole new way.
01:01:37When we first meet Patrick,
01:01:38he's kind,
01:01:39but still discovering his sexuality.
01:01:41You're either very impatient
01:01:42or extremely sure of yourself.
01:01:45Three bit of a change up there, huh?
01:01:47Again, I don't know what that means.
01:01:48I don't play cricket.
01:01:49His love for David
01:01:50makes him brave enough
01:01:51to explore and live his life
01:01:53to the full.
01:01:54Their first kiss,
01:01:55for Patrick,
01:01:55his first ever with a man,
01:01:57is sensitively handled
01:01:58and beautifully written
01:01:59and acted.
01:02:00A bold claim.
01:02:17Adapted by Phoebe Waller-Bridge
01:02:32from her own one-woman play,
01:02:34Fleabag was a favorite
01:02:35with both audiences and critics.
01:02:37It was funny, emotional,
01:02:39and went to some very dark places.
01:02:42However, when the show
01:02:42comes up in conversation,
01:02:44there's one thing in particular
01:02:46that everybody wants to talk about.
01:02:48And that's the hot priest.
01:02:49I mean, your stuff is lovely too.
01:02:53What were you praying about?
01:02:56Andrew Scott's unconventional
01:02:57and unnamed cleric
01:02:59first appears in season two.
01:03:01There's immediate chemistry,
01:03:03and Fleabag is already obsessed.
01:03:05They become friends,
01:03:06start hanging out,
01:03:07eventually fall in love,
01:03:09and then the priest
01:03:09calls the whole thing off.
01:03:11But not before they've shared
01:03:12a very sexy kiss
01:03:14in the confession booth.
01:03:16Number five,
01:03:38Leslie Knope and Ben Wyatt,
01:03:40Parks and Recreation.
01:03:42Well, actually,
01:03:42I think it's good that Chris showed up
01:03:44because I wasn't thinking clearly.
01:03:45I love my job,
01:03:47Ben loves his job,
01:03:48and it's just not worth the risk.
01:03:50The Leslie and Ben love story
01:03:51was a huge part
01:03:52of the Parks and Rec appeal,
01:03:54but Adam Scott's character
01:03:55didn't actually join the cast
01:03:56until the end of season two.
01:03:58Along with Rob Lowe's Chris,
01:04:00he came to do some budget checks,
01:04:02immediately butting heads
01:04:03with Leslie and her master plan.
01:04:05However, the pair soon found
01:04:06plenty to love
01:04:07and respect about each other.
01:04:09Congratulations,
01:04:10and that together
01:04:11we are unstoppable.
01:04:12Wow, cheers, sir.
01:04:14You did it.
01:04:15No, you did it.
01:04:16No, normally I do it.
01:04:18This time you did it.
01:04:19Sitcom romances
01:04:20always play second fiddle
01:04:21to the gags,
01:04:22so we get lots of slow burn,
01:04:24friends to lovers plot lines.
01:04:26Still, delayed gratification
01:04:28isn't necessarily a bad thing,
01:04:30especially when you end up
01:04:31with a kiss like this one.
01:04:32Oh, hey.
01:04:33Hey.
01:04:33Chris just wanted me
01:04:34to drop off these receipts.
01:04:35Oh, well, he's not here.
01:04:36He took off.
01:04:38Okay.
01:04:46Number four.
01:04:47Luke Danes and Lorelai Gilmore.
01:04:49Gilmore Girls.
01:04:51We broke up.
01:04:52Well, he doesn't know that.
01:04:53Well, just calm down.
01:04:54No, I don't want to calm down.
01:04:56I did everything right.
01:04:56I did exactly what the book said.
01:04:59Rory Gilmore had her fair share of kisses,
01:05:02and the standout is probably
01:05:03the moment with Jess
01:05:04at Suki's wedding.
01:05:05However, there was
01:05:06one kiss we were waiting on
01:05:08for a very long time,
01:05:10and it didn't involve Lorelai Jr.
01:05:12In addition to the mother-daughter dynamic,
01:05:14the relationship between Luke and Lorelai
01:05:16was a real cornerstone of Gilmore Girls.
01:05:19Please, Luke.
01:05:21Please, please, please.
01:05:22How many cups have you had this morning?
01:05:24None.
01:05:24Plus?
01:05:25Five, but yours is better.
01:05:27Their easy camaraderie
01:05:28and warm-hearted banter
01:05:29were always a pleasure to witness.
01:05:31As their friendship deepened
01:05:33into something more romantic,
01:05:35we only grew more invested.
01:05:37Luke and Lorelai's wonderfully awkward first kiss
01:05:39took place during the season four finale,
01:05:4286 episodes after we first watched them flirt in the diner.
01:05:45At least they got there in the end.
01:05:47What are you doing?
01:05:49Will you just stand still?
01:05:50I think we're about ready to start something.
01:06:05It might be kind of great, huh?
01:06:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:06:09Maybe we should, uh, kiss or something, huh?
01:06:13Oh, no, we're not gonna just kiss.
01:06:16Cheers fans either loved or loathed Sam and Diane,
01:06:20but either way, they were a fascinating couple.
01:06:23Ted Danson's Sam was a baseball player turned bar owner.
01:06:26Shelley Long's Diane was a college grad turned cocktail waitress.
01:06:30Across the years, they fought and broke up,
01:06:33kissed and made up,
01:06:34but their most memorable moment
01:06:35has to be their very first passionate kiss.
01:06:39How do you think it feels
01:06:40to be attracted to someone that makes you sick?
01:06:47In the build-up to the season one finale,
01:06:50the writers ramped up the romantic tension.
01:06:53When the bartender's brother came to town
01:06:54and began pursuing Diane,
01:06:56everyone's feelings finally burst into the open.
01:06:59The resulting fiery kiss
01:07:00was one of the show's most talked-about scenes,
01:07:03and with good reason.
01:07:05Maybe this is my lucky day, huh?
01:07:07You disgust me.
01:07:08I hate you.
01:07:09Are you as turned on as I am?
01:07:11More.
01:07:15Number two, Ross Geller and Rachel Green, Friends.
01:07:23Try the bottom one.
01:07:26Monica and Chandler were couple goals.
01:07:29Phoebe and Joey made us laugh the most.
01:07:31But when it comes to the best kiss on Friends,
01:07:33Ross and Rachel have it in the bag.
01:07:35This was the peak of the Ross and Rachel romance.
01:07:39He'd been pining for her throughout season one,
01:07:41and also the entirety of his teenage years,
01:07:43but never been brave enough to mention it.
01:07:46She'd discovered that she liked him too,
01:07:48just in time for him to meet someone else.
01:07:50I mean, we know it's a bit hasty,
01:07:52but it just feels so right.
01:08:00This was a simpler time.
01:08:02Before the pros and cons list,
01:08:04we were on a break,
01:08:05the Vegas wedding,
01:08:06and the accidental pregnancy.
01:08:08It was just a kiss in a coffee shop.
01:08:10But wow, that chemistry.

01:08:43Number one.
01:08:44Jessica Day and Nick Miller.
01:08:46New Girl.
01:08:47Well, I guess the old Nick is back, huh?
01:08:50Yeah, I'm gonna miss Trenchcoat Nick.
01:08:52He was pretty great.
01:08:54I might miss him.
01:08:55I liked him.
01:08:56Sometimes a great TV kiss
01:08:58is all about context.
01:09:00A long build-up to a big scene
01:09:01involving an iconic couple
01:09:03that are sure to stand the test of time.
01:09:05But sometimes,
01:09:06it's just a very good kiss.
01:09:08Nick Miller and Jessica Day
01:09:09aren't as well-known
01:09:10as many of the fictional couples
01:09:12on this list.
01:09:13But despite their relative obscurity,
01:09:15people remember this moment.
01:09:17Because it was just that hot.
01:09:19Earlier in the episode,
01:09:20the gang had been egging the pair on,
01:09:22encouraging them to kiss
01:09:23as part of a game.
01:09:24Nick resisted the peer pressure
01:09:26because when he kissed his roommate
01:09:27for the first time,
01:09:29he wanted it to be something special.
01:09:30Okay, let's just do this already.
01:09:32Just kiss me.
01:09:33No, I'm not gonna kiss you.
01:09:34Kiss me.
01:09:34Just stop.
01:09:35God, Miller, just kiss me already.
01:09:37No, not like this.
01:09:39We think we can all agree
01:09:40he was right to wait.
01:09:43Good night, Nick.
01:09:44Good night.
