Ten Cutest Bromances

bromance (n.)-- a non-sexual relationship between two unusually close males

Everyone loves a good bromance. Every guy has had one. These bromances are the ones that took us by the heartstrings and tugged males into a good man-cry.

#10 Saul Silver and Dale Denton

Film: Pineapple Express

Bromanticity: These guys were just plain cute together. I mean, really, who doesn't love a sweet pair of stoners? But you could tell that these guys truly loved each other: Dale saved Saul from a giant weed explosion, Saul sold Dave the best herb in the U.S., and the two stuck together in times of crisis involving Chinese drug lords.

#9 Butch and Sundance

Film: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Bromantic: Ah, the Old West. A time of rugged manliness, a time of sheriffs and outlaws, and a time of perfectly straight cowboy bromances. And at the pinnacle of this straight-cowboy love totem is the dynamic (and unbearably cute) duo of Butch and Sundance. These two were just inseparable the entire movie: they robbed together, loved the same girl, and even went out together. Classic.

#8 Turk and J.D.

TV Show: "Scrubs"

Bromantic: They wrote a song about guy love. What more can we say? Plus, interracial bromance is always cute. As J.D. would say, "I love you, Chocolate Bear."

#7 Seth and Evan

Film: Superbad

Bromantic: What's better than two horny nerds trying to get laid their last week together? Nothing! It's the American Dream! That's why we love these two: because Seth and Evan remind all of us of that guy couple that we went to school with. Remember that whole "I love you. *pokes his nose* Boop." scene? Yeah, that scene was the epitome of geek bromance.

#6 Dwight Shrute and Michael Scott

TV Shows: "The Office"

Bromantic: Where would Michael be without Dwight? Lost, I say. More lost than he is now at least. Which means he'd probably be dead. And where would Dwight be without Michael? Alone, without a friend in the world. Let's face it-- these two need each other. TV world wouldn't be the same without these two. It's like a world where Jim and Pam didn't get together. Ooh, just scary thinking about it.

#5 Michael Scott and Ryan Howard

TV Show: "The Office"

Bromantic: Okay, so I listed two "Office" bromances on here-- big deal! So this bromance might be a little one-sided-- so what! You have to admit that the love Michael exudes for Ryan is sweet (albeit, a little annoying.) Even when Ryan almost burned down the office (Ryan started the fire!), and then got caught for fraud, and all the other dicky stuff Ryan tends to do, Michael sticks with him thick and thin. *Sniffles* That's true bromance, folks.

#4 Ron Burgundy and Baxter

Film: Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

Bromantic: Contrary to popular belief, bromance does extend to the animal world as well. The love normally self-centered Ron Burgundy showed for his dog Baxter is just plain heartwarming. They have intelligent conversations, they wear matching outfits, and they're always there for each other-- dog truly is man's best friend!

#3 Jay and Silent Bob

Film: Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Clerks I and II.

Bromantic: The chemistry these two have is staggering: Jay's the mouth and Bob's the brains. These two do everything together: smoke weed, get girls (or at least try), and even save the world from destructive angels. Although they affectionately degrade each other occasionally, these two have a love for each other that other men only dream that they could have.

#2 Frodo and Sam

Film: Lord of the Rings

Bromantic: This was probably the original bromance. It took place long, long ago in a place called Middle Earth and it was awesome. All it took was hordes of evil armies, two hairy-footed little hobbits, and one little bastard of a gold ring to bring legions of nerdy guys together in common love for this bromance. Sure these two half-pints were the brunt of many a gay joke, and sure they were ridiculed for their less-than-heroic moments on the journey, but did that stop them from loving each other (in a totally non-homosexual way?) No, it didn't. And for that Frodo and Sam, we nerds around the world salute you.

#1 Cool Hand Luke and Dragline

Film: Cool Hand Luke

Bromantic: What guy wouldn't have a massive man-crush on Paul Newman? He's like the prettier version of Steve McQueen! But the lucky guy Cool Hand Luke chose for his bro was big ol' sweaty Dragline. Dragline's the best bromance buddy a guy can ask for: he protects him, he supports him in his biggest challenges, and he just plain loves the guy! He is always by the side of "his darlin' baby Luke." Luke, in turn, includes Dragline as his right-hand man in all his little schemes and plans.
