Dara & Karman's Hit List: "Best Couples" (Episode 9)All the talk of gay marriage has made us to start thinking about what factors help constitute the perfect couple. Is it shared good looks? Shared creative ability? Shared low standards and fear of being alone? Well, nobody really knows for sure. But this week, we hand-pick some of our favorite duos and discuss what it is that we like about them.
Whether they're gay or straight, fictional or real, there are some couples that just seem right together, like Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, or Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner. And there are some who seem like couples even if they technically aren't, like Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King, or Amy Poehler and Tina Fey. Especially Poehler and Fey. Who are your favorite couples? Let us know who you think should have made our list! Dara & Karman's Hit List "Best Couples" (Episode 9)
Also, Rock Band is now the sponsor of our video blog! (Apparently they were really impressed with my guitar skills.) It's very cool that they're willing to put their name on something produced by the likes of us, and now I have an excuse to play Rock Band 2 all day and call it "work." I love my job!

Jeej Love This Vlog i
Jeej Love This Vlog
i want to play Rock Band as work too!!!
Aw, am I the only one who
Aw, am I the only one who loved Maverick?
And can I just say... Karman and Bridget as a best couple, you two are so cute.
I much prefered Brad Pitt with Jennifer Aniston, mainly because I prefer Jen to Angelina. Bette and Tina. I've been re-watching season 5 clips of them and forgot how much I love them. And on the subject of The L Word, Alice and Dana definitely.
A couple that isn't, Bones and Booth. I love them together.
Loved the vlog, can't wait for the worst couples.
i totally agree...
...especially with Alice and Dana...they were awesome....u know before alice got a bit crazy and clingy, and Bones and Booth like omg there is such good chemistry there :D it unbelieveable. Tho thinking back on the L word Dana and Lara was quite hot as was Lara and Alice lol (weird love triangle thing going on there lol) OH! and Dylena....tho whats up with Dylan running off so easy in the most recent ep of L Word, i mean didnt she like come back and profess how insanly in love with helena she was, that part of the episode just didnt make sense to me, but then again i believe it was all for jenny (making us guess....like we dont already know....who killed her)....but yeah, your so right....!
oh! and no i loved maverick too, i thought Mel Gibson was funny, like ummmm when he was talking to the guys that robbed those women and he was talking about james garner and jodie foster lol "and after you thats ugly annie bransford" lol infact i watched that movie really recently lol

"Age differences are hot".."It's all the rage apparently"
NICE
Karman is spot on about
Karman is spot on about Angie and Billy Bob<3
I do love BBT<3
mmmmmm?
Yay! Missed you guys! Interesting list, I could name a couple of my favs, need watch now before I say anything I shouldn't. Did That make sense? Anywho....
*don't judge*
"What...age
"What...age appropriate?"
HAHAHAHAHAH....
You gals are too funny. Great as always :)

Please promise you'll never vlog from a zoo.

Politics, Baby
It's all the rage apparently...
That couple should have been on the list ;)
With all do respect to Tine fey, and there's plenty of it, I prefer my Weekend Updates with Amy Poehler and Seth Myers.
Yeah!
Totally! Wait, I hope we're talking about the same couple?
*don't judge*
lols
you guys crack me up.
you missed all the blatant gayness from the united states women's gymnastics team though!
nastia liukin and alicia sacramone = epic.couple.
completely imaginary, probably. completely hot, definitely.
couples
Tara and Willow were the first one i had in mind aswell. Dana and Alice on the L word just because they were cute together.
Otherwise Buffy and Spike for all the good and bad reasons, monica and chandler or JD and Elliot (on scrubs) because i'm a dork. And finally Rachel Maddow (because i have a "i wanna be you" crush on her) and her partner Susan Mikula (because she's a talented photographer, and i dig that).
Looking forward for the worse couple list! And congrats on the Rock Band sponsor, you really do have an awesome job :-p But when do we get to see you rock it on the real guitar Karman? ;-)
Everything with passion, nothing with talent...
Oprah
I think it would have been hilarious if Dara said her fav. couple was Karman and Bridget
However fav part of the vlog was the Oprah quote which was so gay!
I totally agree with the Saving Face couple, and I think Luce and Rachel from Imagine Me & You.
Ang and Billy Bob
I agree with Karmen, Billy bob is much more interesting than boring brad.
I finally found Jill. She is doing this very cool coverage of the protests over at shewired.com
http://shewired.com/Article.cfm?ID=20910
I just love you guys and
I just love you guys and your v-logs you 2 are to funny
Love the list but I'm going to have to add the Spashley girls because if they was on a different network they would have been way hotter. They had the chemistry just a sucky network that would not let them express it
I also liked angela better when she was with billy bob
brad and jen was way hotter too
Can't wait to see the other list
What? No Gro Hammerseng
What? No Gro Hammerseng and Katja Nyberg?
They're adorable!
ANTM
Hell yeah!!! They're too
Of course...
Karman likes it when the writer gets the hot chick (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) ;)
Good show indeed!
Booth&Bones
I really can't think of any real-life couples that I love together, but my favorite fake "couple" is Temperance Brennan & Seeley Booth on Bones. They have such a great dynamic and they're so pretty together. David Boreanaz is super amazing, I'd have his illegitimate children (y'know since he's married and all). And Emily Deschanel, well I just love her.
Super fantastic episode ladies. Can't wait for the next installment, hope you have a good Thanksgiving.

G&K
most adorable couple on the planet.
Gro Hammerseng and Katja Nyberg.
LOL
'the kiss of life is hot'
'beats the one of death!'
LOL
Gro and Katja
congrats on the sponsorship!!!
I sent Harmonix an email telling them how awesome they are for sponsoring you guys. That really is great news! No wonder they rock
Overall good list. The hinting about you-know-who and Karman made me chuckle, but I was disappointed you didn't really bring that up. I totally understand you want to keep you private life private though.
Anyways, can't wait for the next episode guys!
Money matters
I also sent them an email telling them that now they are sponsoring The Hitlist I'm totally getting rock band 2 instead of the Guitar Hero game I was planning to adquire this xmas.
Hopefully Mountain Dew follow their example so I can drink it without guilt.
My List
1. Melissa & Tammy Lynn Etheridge
2. Xena & Gabrielle
3. Gro Hammerseng & Katja Nyberg
4. Bette & Tina
5. Monica & Chandler
I'm rather surprised that Melissa & Tammy didn't make the list since usually people compare Ellen & Portia to them. For me personally they're much better than Ellen & Portia, but great episode anyway and can't wait for the worst couple episode!
Life lessons
I missed Dara's weekly "Life Lesson" and PSA. this week But I did enjoy watching her try really hard to behave herself. It's fun to see her bite her tongue, although it is more fun when she unleashes her thoughts.
I think Dara and Karman are one of my favourite "couples" - in the Thelma and Louise sense. They always egg on each other on; although I do believe Dara wins and Karman turns red. I enjoy watching Sarah and Lori too on SMMWT. Actually, I enjoy the chemistry between most of the vloggers on AE.
Any chance we'll get to meet "Chop-chop"?
"That which you believe becomes your world."
Support age differences!!!
Well, there you go! Everyone should listen those words of wisdom.
Age difference is the new black.
:)
Don't discredit the girl who may be 5-10 years younger than you.
shaun of the dead
shaun and ed (simon pegg and nick frost) from Shaun of the dead...not really a couple but...welll yea a couple.
Beavis and Butthead... now that right there is THE couple.
YES! yes!
" He chased me round the garden with a bit of wood!"
And keeping Ed in the shed after he's a zombie...now that's love. :-)
And I can't forget my fave, Buffy and Faith.
Favourite couples...
On TV, my favourite current couple is Booth and Brennan from Bones, but my fave of all time is Josh and Donna from the West Wing. They're probably the only TV couple I've liked that weren't opposites, and at the end of the day I don't really have much faith in that whole 'opposites attract' thing. But I guess on TV compatibility isn't really an issue - chemistry's the only important thing in TV land.
In real life: Ellen and Portia definitely, and Melissa and Tammy. I will cry if either of those couples ever break up.
But my favourite real life couple is Sarah and Lori. Obviously I don't know them personally, but from watching SMMWT they look like they've both found the person that perfectly complements their own personality. I always think it's really cute when Lori makes a spreadsheet and Sarah's like, "I love you." :) There really is hope for the rest of us nerds.
Thank God I'm not the only one..
Love
Wow Dara looks hot!
I'm usually not one to crush on Ms. Nai but I'll be damned if she doesn't look extra fine this episode. I was a bit taken back by her attire and hair. I'm so use to her a little butched out with shorter hair. I think I quite like her hotness this episode! I spent more time checking her out then I did paying attention to what they were saying.
Alright this is me focusing!
As always this was fab. I agreed with ever couple you guys named. I have 5 of my own that I'd like to throw into the pile.
- Sarah Warn & Lori Grant - I know it's cliched but I enjoy these two so much! I always comment on SMMWT about how they are the best couple I don't know. They are one of those couples that I can't decided who's hotter. Both have equally attractive qualities.
- Melissa & Tammy - I too am surprised that these gals didn't get a mention. I love Ellen & Portia but there is something about Melissa that get's to me.
- Helena Bonham Carter & Tim Burton - I'm all crushed out on Helena and I really like Tim. They just make sense.
- Garcia & Morgan from Criminal Minds - I'm praying for these two to hook up! The way they speak to one another just get's me going. And they are both so frigin hot!
- Michelle Paradise & Marnie Alton (but in the tv show sense) - Exes & Ohs is one of my favorite shows. I love the characters, the situations, and the overall feel of the show. Jen & Sam are my hopeful couple and again I'm praying they hook up on the show. I realize it's a been there, done that situation but they belong. They are like my Bette & Tina, they just need to be together!
Thanks again ladies and I hope you both have a great Thanksgiving!missed you ladies. awesome
missed you ladies. awesome vlog. and thanks Dara for inlcuding Ripley and Cole. I totally forgot that Whedon wrote that. Maybe we can expect some "subtext" in Dollhouse too :P
------------------------------------------------------
No on H8! pics
Going to watch now!
My List
Real: Bif Naked and Ian Craig Walker
Real, but not really a couple: Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders
Fictional: Francine and Katchoo from Strangers in Paradise
French and Saunders
Damn, Dara!
Before I name any couples, I must say that Dara looks amazing!!! And she has the best hair ever. Just, wow. Damn.
I like Karman's newish hair as well. Very cute.
OK so my couples in no particular order:
1) KD Lang and Leisha Hailey. I know they're not together anymore and I don't know anything about that relationship but I like them both a lot so I like the idea of them together
2)Bridget and Karman: again too awesome hot people. Nuff said.
3) Imaginary couple alert: Kate Moennig and Rosanna Arquette - they're not together but goddamn they had sooo much chemistry on TLW that I just like to fantasize about them together. And that's saying a lot because usually the only person I like to fantasize about being with Kate (or Shane, for that matter) is me :).
On the straight side I like Hugh Jackman and his wife and Pierce Brosnan and his wife because these 2 guys are among the very few in Hollywood who are with real, beautiful women and not 18 year olds or Hollywood types.
On a last side note, I really liked all the inside joking about age differences in relationships. It was cute.
Start ranking up a room we are all hurting
Best line from the entire vlog.
What the hell happened? I go away for a week and all this news starts ocming out. People getting married and all the natural insanity that happens in the life of a lesbian. I just want to say congrats to Karman and Bridget you are the best couple of ever.
I have to be honest, I really cannot wait till you guys do the bad couple list. Its so exciting.
Never met a pearl quite like you that could shimmer and rot at the same time through
Oh Oprah
You look so different to me now! Hehe. Great vlog. But don't forget Mickey and Mallory Knox! Also, I like Will Smith and Jada Pinkett. I don't necessarily like them, but together they seem great. That's what a good couple's about right?
*happy happy, joy joy.*
I love that you actually
I love that you actually have a cat called 'chop chop?' sounded so familiar, then i realised it was from Ghostella the other day :P
was Dara hinting about Karman and Bridget a lot of the time there? :P
love both of your hair(s?) wow, that doesn't make sense grammatically with or without the 's' but anyways.. i your clothes/hair are always awesome!
I cracked up about dara´s
Best couple ever
