Valentine's Day: From Friends' Phoebe-Mike to HIMYM's Barney-Robin, take a look at TV's quirkiest couples

More than often, the supporting characters and their storylines are pushed to the sides. Their love is shadowed by the most perfect leads in the show.Even though they are equally cute and fun, they are ignored. This Valentine's day, here's a list of TV couples who deserve to be appreciated not just for their love but also for their quirkiness which makes them more relatable for us.

2/11

Pheobe and Mike from Friends

After years of dating weirdos, Phoebe finds her match in adorably normal Mike Hannigan! What started as a blind date setup by Joey, Mike and Phoebe fall irrevocably in love! Despite Phoebe’s weird antics and her foot-in-mouth syndrome and the once-divorced Mike’s hesitation to ever be married again, he goes all the way to Barbados, convinced Phoebe is the one for him, to propose to her.

3/11

Their romance

But the most beautiful of it all – When Pheobe walks down the aisle, Mike looks into her eyes and says, “You’re so wonderfully weird.”

4/11

Mitch and Cam from Modern Family

Mitch and Cam are fun, eccentric and probably the un-coolest – coolest couple on television! Mitch is obnoxiously particular about everything and Cam is the tantrum queen! But they are hilarious in their own goofy ways and often tend to give in to each other’s erratic quirks and even the most annoying faults.

5/11

What makes them special

As real as any couple today can be, Mitch and Cam don’t stand out as the gay couple on the show but as any individualistic, funny and entertaining couple we see today who fight, make up and undoubtedly love each other despite their quirks

6/11

Jesse and Rebecca Katsapolis from Full House

There will never, ever be a television couple like Jesse and Becca ever again! An Elvis-worshipping musician’s love and warmth comes out even more magnified when the bad boy meets independent, mildly clumsy and quirky Rebecca Donaldson and his freewheeling ways come to an end!

7/11

A perfect match

Becca – competitive, dominating and quirky along with Jesse – loverboy with his heart on his sleeve, equally quirky and funny make for the quirkiest of all quirky couples.

8/11

Jackie and Kelso on That 70s Show

Undoubtedly one of the most hilarious couples on television, Jackie’s quirks and Kelso’s quips make for the most amusing television viewing! They may not have been the most ideal or perfect of all couples, but they have always been uniquely refreshing in their own quirky and self-involved way.

9/11

Made for each other

They didn’t think it was important to grow up and there were definitely no over-the-top niceties for these two! They kept it real – in the midst of their on-again and off-again relationship, they continued to praise each other

10/11

Barney and Robin on How I Met Your Mother

Everyone knows Barney Stinson as a commitment phobic but even he could not be saved from falling for Robin. Although, the couple did not last, with their marriage ultimately ending up in divorce, the way they could understand each other was commendable every step of the way.

11/11

Very relatable

While most of the show focused on Ted Mosby’s quest to find the ‘one’, it was actually Robin and Barney’s relationship that was identifiable for the viewers.
