15 Sitcom Characters We Wanted as Best Friends
There’s something magical about watching a great sitcom character that makes you think, ‘I wish I could hang out with them.’ These fictional friends feel so real and relatable that we find ourselves wishing we could grab coffee with them or have them as our wingman for life’s adventures.
From the quirky neighbor who always has the best advice to the loyal friend who’d drop everything to help you move, television has given us some of the most lovable personalities we’ve ever encountered. Here are 15 sitcom characters we all secretly wanted as our best friends.
Phoebe Buffay
Phoebe from Friends would be the kind of friend who’d show up at your door with homemade cookies and a guitar, ready to serenade away your bad mood. Her unique worldview and completely honest approach to life would keep you laughing and probably teach you to see things from angles you never considered.
Plus, she’d definitely be the friend who remembers your birthday with something totally unexpected but oddly perfect.
Andy Dwyer
Parks and Recreation’s Andy would be like having a golden retriever as a best friend, except he can talk and occasionally stumbles into moments of surprising wisdom. His childlike enthusiasm for absolutely everything would make even grocery shopping feel like an adventure.
You’d never have a dull moment, and his genuine kindness would remind you that being a good person doesn’t require being complicated.
