Bromance at its best

We'll kick off by explaining what we understand by the term bromance. For us it's something with humour (maybe even bickering) and also real friendship+teamwork. This time we could cut the list to top 10.

1. Sam Tyler and Gene Hunt in Life on Mars. It's such a classic English detective show bromance. There's so much humour to go around, but the essence of this relationship is real friendship. Their verbal stuff is beyond brilliant. "How do you think I spend my time around here Tyler?" "Building a death star?"

2. Vash and Wolfwood in Trigun. What makes this interesting is the fact that they have opposing ideologies but still their teamwork is seamless. 

3. Nicholas and Danny in Hot Fuzz. First of all, Pegg&Frost have such an awesome real-life bromance it really carries to the screen automatically. We love that there isn't a romantic interest in the film, but instead all that goes to their relationship. 

4. Bud White and Ed Exley in L.A. Confidential. This one's not as hilarious as bromances usually are, but the tension between them is really gripping and once they team up, it's so memorable and cool. That final shootout is stinking awesome.

5. Tim and Mike in Spaced. This is the original "guy love" and had it before Scrubs took it for a spin. The best male bonding scene ever is in episode five, season two. 

6. Mike and Sully in Monsters, Inc. This is the reason the film works so well. Their camaraderie is very believable. 

7. Po and Master Shifu in Kung Fu Panda. The combination of a cranky old geezer and a naive and clumsy beginner (we have a word for that in Finnish: tumpelo. Ah, we pity all you non-Finns) is so much fun to watch. 

8. Tugg Speedman and Kirk Lazarus in Tropic Thunder. They were supposed to have a fake bromance in a fake film but ended up having a real one. "I'm the dude playing the dude who's disguised as another dude!"

9. Kenshin and Saito in Rurouni Kenshin. This is the only reason to watch the show, trust us, the rest is CRAP. Yeah, we really don't enjoy the show otherwise, but holy cow their "friendship" rocks.

10. Sherlock and Watson in Sherlock. It's #10 only because the series hasn't ended yet. If the show stays good until the end, we'll have to update this list. Their bromance is so classic, like Sam&Gene's. The English are very good at portraying buddyness. So in the end it might be sharing #1.
