Some on-screen couples have such electric chemistry they could power a city. Others, however, have all the spark of a wet matchstick, and no amount of money could fix it.

Curious to see the worst of the worst, one woman on Threads asked the internet to share the most painfully mismatched TV couples. And of course, the responses were brutal. Check out their picks below and let us know if you agree—or if you have your own to add!

Agreed. The movies did a terrible job of setting things up romantically for anyone.

Unfortunately, she didn't grew out of it. She openly says (in book 6 or 7, I'm not sure) that she mostly started to be more courageous around Harry and dating other people to get his attention. He even admits that it was a good idea. I like the books but this scene always creeped me out a bit

    I don't get this one. I guess I'm alone. Their fake date he takes her on because she isn't dating while pregnant. They had a great time and great chemistry, and they had a lot in common. There was the book swap episode. That was cute. I always thought they were a good match when they're at Ross' speech in Barbados and they're both childishly laughing at Homo Erectus. They make way more sense than Ross and Rachel. Ross never respected her or took her seriously.

    Rachel and Joey made perfect sense, as f**k buddies. Two roommates deciding to enjoy each other sexually is totally fine, but the network could NEVER have done that. Even in the early 2000s, you could ABSOLUTELY NOT show two close friends deciding to have a sexual relationship outside something that was destined to either result in an inflammatory breakup or heterosexual marriage. Those were the two choices. So instead, they tried to force them together in a crappy long term relationship that the show could not write its way out of

    Even in the books there were more than enough reasons why they wouldn't be a good couple. I can believe that Ron & Hermione got together in a spur of the moment when they were both stressed and strunged out because of war. But I cannot believe that it would last. Hermione, while extremely intelligent, had tendencies to get prissy and overbearing. Ron has a long history of being jealous of other people, but he is somewhat lazy and not very ambitious. She'd be frustrated of him not being hard working enough, and he'd became jaded and jealous of her achievements. I think that they may work out as friends, but in a relationship they'd quickly start to despise each other.

    To me they made perfect sense, but their relationship was handled in an extremely subdued way in the series. Like they didn't even show so much as a look between them, then suddenly at the last 2 seconds of an episode they are basially in bed together, presumably being together for a while by then. Even later, never a real "so how did they end up together" , or "how is their relationship going" , it was just a tiny side note. I think THAT made it weird, not the pairing itself.

    George O’Malley has two relationships in the top ten. Maybe they should have let the gay actor T. R. Knight have a gay relationship on the show rather than making him play a straight man with no chemistry in his relationships. Like many shows they think it’s okay to show a lesbian relationship way before they’re brave enough to have a gay one.

    THAT'S what kept you from it? I was put off by everyone I might like dying so I didn't want to start before I knew in whom I could invest my emotions safely. Never got around to watching it at all, because everyone kept complaining about the end and ... well. But the brother-sister-thing, while absolutely creepy (I read the first three books), was not that bothersome to me. Unhealthy, absolutely. But they sent children all over, shoved the little kid to some horse-lord who would "marry" her, beheaded Eddard Stark right in front of his children, threw little boys out of a window... all the r*pe, of course... In comparison, the two siblings having a go at each other was mild.

    This kind of reasoning is why shows stretch out romantic storyline so long the audience gets tired of watching. The problem isn't the end of the sexual tension, it's because the show has been on the air for so many years they're running out of decent stories. And on Castle, the 2 leads hated each other. The surprise is they worked together as well as they did.

I was pretty weirded out by the idea of Widow and Hulk, but I never thought they were really in LOVE-love. Hawkeye was her ... well, her brother, I guess. He was the most important person to her, and that doesn't need to equal s*x.

    They can only date other doctors they work with so it was a very limited choice of who’s available. It’s not like doctors in the real world marry non-doctors.

    The only reason they had to go this route was to be comic loyal, but sometimes if the actors dont work out, just go a different route because Barry has other partners in obscure comics and other timelines. Just dig deep and use one of those

    ALL OF RORY'S MATCHES WERE BAD!!! I say this as a gay man with 5 f*****g sisters! I watched every single time as Rory and my sisters went for guy after guy because they liked his looks! Never once did I hear "He shares my passions, he's empathetic, and he's smart with diverse interests." Instead it was always about a guy with vaguely adjacent interests who was hot. Just as Rory chose.

    I think Rory's only bad match by the screenwriters was Logan. Especially, that after 20 years got pregnant with his baby. Dean and Jess are in every teenages young adult girl's/women's life. Dean, your average home-nice guy, and Jess, the quite opposite. From 15 till 23 years old, every woman experience their Dean and Jess. What was really weird, was Logan. Okay in prestige universities one met money-kids, and for a while it's easy to be charmed by their world. But as the characther was build -with Rory rejecting Logan's proposal - is more than weird getting pregnant with his baby 20 years later.

I thought the guy who played Archie did not, at all, channel in the character, and there was absolutely no connection there between him and Veronica. All the characters were just all wrong.

    Totally agree! I’m someone who hates to abandon a series without finishing it off even if it’s terrible but Riverdale was the one that I couldn’t bear any longer to keep up my habit. Gave up on it in season 3 or so because it turned absolutely ridiculous. What were the writers even thinking?! Was their goal to make the show as terrible as possible?! Everyone I know who watched Riverdale never finished the series.

    Most of the relationships in Degrassi Next Gen were a trainwreck, especially in the later seasons. Paige and Alex were one thing. And then Fionna turned it into a triangle. The whole thing felt contrived.

    A man and woman in a dimly lit lounge, separated by glass, depicting a lack of chemistry. Passenger and Jodie in The Agency.

    Animated TV couple at a market stall, showcasing less chemistry in a lively scene. Aang and Katara (Avatar the Last Airbender); she should have been with Zuko

    Nah, I like this one. They balance each other, the characters had good chemistry and interactions. And besides, Zuko should have been endgame with either of his Earth Kingdom girlfriends. (the girl with the burned leg, or the girl that hit on him in the tea shop) rather than Mai. That's the relationship that doesn't work (and per LoK, it didn't in fact work for very long).

    This one I disagree with…I think they have great chemistry and this is coming from someone 25 years married. They love and support each other, they also disagree often and resolve things, I like how they parent/step-parent together as well showing a healthy blended family dynamic. They even make a point to include the children’s father in the relationship and keep him actively involved in the family life. I think it’s beautifully written and acted by all parties.

    It was surprising at first, but they seem to work well together, actually quite a realistic and good relationship, not just a peck on the cheek every episode and then separate plotlines for the two characthers. As actors they didn't seem to "feel" eachother at first, but in time their pairing became quite believable to me.

    They had to figure out a some kind of relationship plot after the Angela Bassett divorce drama. As both the actors are co-producers of the show and so need something to do every episo, this was the easiest resolution. No real chemistry, but the plotline is cute!

    This one was so weird and sudden, zero build up or anything. They did end up fitting well together cause hes such a sweet char but it was awkward....

    Elena and Matt (The Vampire Diaries), I think alot of shows try to put together childhood friends just bc of history but usually it makes no sense

    But they were never together on the show were they? They had dated previously and it was awkward because they had broken up.
