- (Voice-over) Your friendship of pure fantasy awaits.
- I have something to tell...
- I have something to tell you!
- What?
- No. I have something I need to tell you.
- (Voice-over) Welcome to Ms Mojo and today
we'll be counting down our picks for the top ten
fictional TV characters you wish were your BFFs.
- I ain't do nothing.
- Look, me neither, alright?
We all just in here 'cause we took a wrong turn going to church.
- (Voice-over) For this list, we're counting down
some of the most endearing and magnetic personalities
of television all of whom would make fabulous best friends.
If only, right?
(dramatic music)
- I just peed out a condom.
- (Voice-over) Number 10: Titus Andromedon.
"Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt".
- Titus, I need you to get your robot suit back.
- But I already did something today!
- (Voiceover) When the shit hits the fan
and you don't know which way is up,
this flamboyant characer and former prom king
will hit you with a dose of reality while making you laugh.
- We should go out to celebrate.
I mean I got a job today. I got an apartment.
I met you!
- I envy you.
I've never been able to meet me.
- (Voice-over) You'll never have to worry about Titus
creeping on you. Believe that. In fact, he'll keep an eye
out and help deflect all the BS heading your way.
- Did I tell you I auditioned to be a replacement
mad scientist?
He gets a monologue and doesn't have to
clean the ladies room.
Women are disgusting, b t dubs.
- (Voice-over) Sure, he's prone to some major dramatic outbursts,
- Fine, I don't need you!
Bye, Felicia!
- But that in itself will provide for some of the entertainment,
while strengthening your overall camaraderie.
- Don't worry about me.
I'm pretty, but tough, like a diamond,
or beef jerky in a ball gown.
- (Voice-over) Titus doesn't have bad intentions,
he's just intent on attention, that's all.
- Pinot Noir, shooting star,
under par, Teri Garr,
Jamie Farr, these are 70s TV stars.
- ( Voice-over) Number 9: Jane Villanueva. "Jane the Virgin".
(drums beating loudly)
- But I've never had sex!
- (Voice-over) It's not every day that you meet a
Venezuelan American virgin that accidentally
got knocked up via artificial insemination gone wrong.
So this girl's backstory would surely spark up
some juicy discussions.
- The reason the test came back positive
is...I accidentally inseminated you two weeks ago.
- You what?!
- (Voice-over) With that being said however,
Jane is just a sweetie at heart,
a girl that won't embarrass you in public situations
or take advantage of your friendship.
- Sorry to bother you.
Do you know how long we'll be?
- She's in labor.
- Now?
- Mhm.
Yeah and my mom wants me to go to the hospital.
She wants to talk to you, actually.
- (Voice-over) Why? Because she's kind, funny,
family oriented, and always puts people before herself.
- It's Mateo Gloriano Rogelio Solano Villanueva.
- (Voice-over) So you can breathe a little bit
when Ms. Villanueva steps into the room,
because she's always a breath of fresh air.
- He's a rich playboy.
A rich playboy with an entitled attitude
missing a basic sensitivity chip.
- (Voice-over) Number 8: Abbi Abrams and Ilana Wexler.
"Broad City".
- And since Todd wouldn't give me my paycheck, girl!
- You took all of his office supplies?
- (Voice-over) The heart of any legitimate and lasting
BFF relationship is unconditional love.
With these two New York gals, you'll get to experience
the essence of living life to the fullest.
Which may or may not involve a room full of
weed smoke and a few crazy ass stories.
-Vape life.
- Aw man, I wanna get high.
- Hey, Ab.
(sharp inhale)
- No. It does not work.
- (Voice-over) But hey, you don't have to live with Abbi and Ilana,
you don't even have to approve of their life decisions,
- But I know the trick to getting right to it.
(eerie music)
(screaming)
- (Voice-over) But take note, their committed friendship
speaks volumes about how today's 20-somethings
can live a more fruitful life.
As nobody can live a perfect life or even a happy one
without the love and support of someone special.
(Abbi roars)
(Female opera singer singing "Ave Maria")
- (Voice-over) Number 7: Rory Gilmore. "Gilmore Girls".
- You have to sleep. It's what keeps you pretty.
- Who cares if I'm pretty if I fail my finals?
- (Voice-over) If you're looking for a book-smart badass
that can walk the walk and talk the talk
this girl will undoubtedly make you a smarter human being
and probably even keep you on the right path in life.
- You brought a book to the dance?
- Yeah.
- You thought there'd be a lot of down time?
- No. I just take a book with me everywhere.
It's just habit.
- (Voice-over) As the only daughter of an equally spunky mother,
Rory understands a thing or two about inner strength.
- As she guided me through these incredible 18 years,
I don't know if she ever realized that the person
I most wanted to be was her.
- (Voice-over) Considering her Ivy League experience,
she's the kind of girl that makes your weekends
a little bit more interesting.
Rory naturally attracts attention with her looks,
but she knows she's got plenty of brains as well.
- You could get your own cherry tree.
Get your own peanut tree.
Just have peanut butter all day long.
- Peanuts don't grow on trees, they grow under the ground.
- Whatever. My point is you can have anything you want.
- (Voice-over) Number 6: Christina Yang. "Grey's Anatomy".
- You're very beautiful.
- Oh screw beautiful. I'm brilliant.
If you want to appease me, compliment my brain.
- (Voice-over) Whereas Rory Gilmore is fierce in her own ways,
this chick has a bit more life experience
and has the emotional scars to prove it.
- He's gone.
("All We Can Do Is Keep Breathing" by Ingrid Michaelson)
I'm...I'm free.
- (Voice-over) Her ambition alone will make you a little jealous,
but Cristina Yang is not the catty kind of female
that takes pleasure in BFF drama.
She's the girl that you down a couple of bottles of wine
with, as each of you convey the dos and don'ts
of relationships.
- You and McDreamy are in a relationship.
- And you and Burke are in?
- Switzerland. It's very neutral there
and they make very nice watches.
- (Voice-over) You know, she might not always
be available when you need her,
but that doesn't mean that she's not a loyal BFF.
She's just a busy one.
- That's why I told you I'm pregnant.
You're my person.
- I am?
- Yeah, you are.
- (Voice-over) Number 5: Mindy Lahiri. "The Mindy Project".
- You're not Mindy. You're a warrior.
And your warrior name is...Beyoncé Pad Thai.
- (Voice-over) While some characters on our list
embody ideals that may compliment your individual quirks,
this comedic OB/GYN has the OMG factor:
a "she's so relatable" vibe.
- I just wanted to say that the day I met Mindy
I didn't realize I met my future wife.
- What? Are you? What? No, no, no.
- Oh my God.
- No, no, no, no, no.
- (Voice-over) And this is because Mindy Lahiri
takes everything in stride.
- (Mindy) I don't think they thought I would ever go,
so they invited me to be polite.
But oh, I did go.
And after four Vodka sodas,
I realized I had something to say.
- (Voice-over) She's well-versed in the art of one-liners
and keeping everything in perspective.
Not to mention that there's probably no better friend
to watch your favorite rom-com with.
- Maybe I won't get married, you know?
Maybe I'll do one of those "Eat Pray Love" things.
Ugh, nah. I don't want to pray. Forget it. I'll just die alone.
- (Voice-over) Regardless of the setting,
Mindy manages to maintain a strong sense of self,
which is obviously important when bad vibes come your way.
- I do the elliptical forty-five minutes four times a week.
Thirty minutes three times a week.
There is a cluster of elliptical machines at my gym.
I'm planning on joining a gym near my house, okay?
- Sedentary.
- That's rude.
- (Voice-over) Number 4: Leslie Knope. "Parks and Recreation".
- You know my code: hos before bros.
Uteruses before duderuses.
- Got it.
- Ovaries before brovaries.
- (Voice-over) Okay, so there are plenty of women that consider
their annoying snark to be legitimately hilarious.
And then you have individuals like Leslie Knope,
a Pawnee politician that will make you laugh
out loud uncontrollably on a daily basis.
- I will be waving is your decapitated head on a stick
in front of your weeping mother.
- (Voice-over) And that's perhaps the only downfall of
having her as your BFF, because she will in fact
embarrass you from time to time,
but you'll be happy to roll along with the spontaneity.
- Leslie, for God's sake.
- No Anne, please I beg of you,
will you just shut your beautiful pie-hole?
- (Voice-over) Leslie's the ride-or-die BFF, right?
You've got to commit to the unknown,
and once you accept the friendship,
there's really no limit to the laughs.
- (Leslie) We need to remember what's important in life.
Friends, waffles, and work.
Or waffles, friends, work.
It doesn't matter. But work is third.
- (Voice-over) Number 3: Carrie Bradshaw,
Charlotte York, Miranda Hobbes, and Samantha Jones.
"Sex and the City".
- Don't laugh at me, but maybe we could be
each other's soulmates?
- With these Big Apple BFFs, the phrase is both a concept and a reality.
- Honey, you look back so much,
you should have a relationship rearview mirror.
- (Voice-over) In other words, if just one of these girls
suggests that you quit your small town job
for a New York City upgrade, well,
then you'll put in that two week's notice, girl,
and fly your butt to the city.
- Hear that? It's midnight.
The official end to what will now be known as
the day I got arrested for smoking a doobie.
- (Voice-over) Let's say this.
These women can't be your social media or Skype BFFs.
You've got to take part in the action along with them.
- I told Aidan about the affair and he broke up with me.
- Trey and I never had sex on our honeymoon.
- You win.
So, should we get more coffee
or should we get two guns and kill ourselves?
- (Voice-over) You know you thought about it,
and some of you probably have found a little inspiration
from Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha
at one time in your life.
- (Carrie) And finally, the most important break up rule:
no matter who broke your heart,
or how long it takes to heal,
you'll never get through it without your friends.
(Voice-over) Number 2: Rachel Green, Monica Geller,
and Phoebe Buffay. "Friends".
- You guys.
You suck too.
- Oh you know we didn't forget about our favorite
ladies from Central Perk.
And speaking of perks, these girls make for wonderful
BFFs in a variety of ways.
For one, they're all kind-hearted, hilarious,
supportive women that always have each-other's backs.
- Hey, you know what might cheer you up?
- What?
(studio audience laughing)
- (Voice-over) Perhaps the ultimate perk is that they're
not even familiar with the concept of social media.
Given the surreal nature of our list,
you'd essentially be hanging in a pre-Facebook universe
with Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe,
so there's zero chance that you'd annoy each-other
with questionable Facebook posts.
- You know what, if we were in prison,
you guys would be like my bitches".
(studio audience laughing)
- It's true. The perks of being their best friend forever.
- How do we end up with these jerks?
We're good people.
- I don't know. I think we're like some kind of magnets.
- I know I am. That's why I can't wear a digital watch.
- (Voice-over) Before we unveil our top pick,
here are a few honorable mentions.
- Oh my God, you look like crap.
(woman laughing)
- So it's big, huh?
- Legendary.
- Well let's see it.
I mean if it's as big as you say, I'll be your girlfriend.
We could go to prom together.
What? What seems to be the problem?
I'm on a schedule here, vato.
- Are you sure you don't mind sitting up with him?
- He won't be alone. Not for a moment. I promise.
♫ Friendship, just a perfect blendship ♫
♫ When other friendships have been forget ♫
♫ ours will still be it ♫
- This pie is so good, I hate it.
- You just graduated pie school, bitches.
Sorry I said "bitches", I'm just really worked up.
(exclaims)
- (Voice-over) Number 1: Liz Lemon. "30 Rock".
- So what's your religion, Liz Lemon?
- I pretty much just do whatever Oprah tells me to.
- (Voice-over) She's the head writer of an iconic
yet fictional sketch comedy show
and at the actual 30 Rock, of all places.
- And now I am headed home for a nooner,
which is what I call having pancakes for lunch.
- (Voice-over) Not only do a vast majority of women
truly want to hang with Liz Lemon,
most believe it's a serious possibility given the parallels
to the actual life of Tina Fey.
- Well, one of my New Year's resolutions is to say "yes"
Yes to love, yes to life, yes to staying in more.
- (Voice-over) Liz beholds all the BFF essentials.
She's hilarious, smart, and has a quirky sex appeal
that she knows how to utilize.
- That guy wanted to buy you a drink.
- Really?
I already have a drink.
Do you think he'd buy me mozzarella sticks?
- (Voice-over) Of course, she's successful as well.
And you wouldn't mind brainstorming with her
and seeing your ideas come to life on TV.
It's a fantasy, but still all too real.
- Wanna get drunk?
- No, there's too many phones in here.
- (Voice-over) So, do you agree with our selections?
- Yeah, doing great.
Living the dream.
- (Voice-over) Which fictional TV character
would you like to hang out with you know, like, forever.
- I just with that I had more time, you know?
To get ready for this date.
I mean if it is a date. I don't care.
We could just be here as bros. Who cares?
