You're blowing my mind, @avclub-c161fc7cfc0c35ee9402847ee45a6f42:disqus.

I think if you watched the first three seasons of The Office when they originally aired, it basically went without saying that you were in love with Pam.  Since she and Jim got married, most of that kind of dropped off, which is an odd little aspect of the show.

In all the Lizzy Caplan and Alison Brie adoration, Aubrey Plaza somehow got lost in the mix.  Shame on us.

Yeah, that's one of my weirder ones.  On the one hand, you're listening to a male voice actor, but they also write her character to be really supportive and loyal at the same time she's gorgeous.  Also, the fact that she's smart enough to bail out the monarch is OH GOD WHY AM I ASSESSING CARTOON CHARACTERS LIKE

I'd add Felicia from the Spiderman animated series (the one from like 1997 or whenever I was in 5th grade).  Mary Jane was OK, but Felicia was so dangerous.  Also, making her turn out to be Black Cat really sealed the deal for me.

Oh god, I know, right?  Remember the episode when it came out that she was actually incredible at math, but she got all embarrassed about it?  I almost died from crush overload.

I know I stand alone here, but for as much as I thought Kaylee was cute, I was always so floored by how drop-dead gorgeous Inara was that I dedicated virtually all of my fanboy crushdom to her instead.

I don't watch Dr. Who, but I fell in love with her from a gif of her silly dancing with the guy who plays Dr. Who.  If you asked me to think of something sillier about this time in history or my generation than the fact that I'm able to instantly form a fantasy about my future with Karen Gillan from seeing 32 looping

I always feel kind of slimey when I commiserate with other dudes on the internet (assuming you're a dude) about fictional pop culture personalities that are love-inducing, but this is my experience exactly.

Might as well start this up sooner than later: Britta. Perry.

Correct!  Next question: how do plan to project your favorite aspects of this fictional character onto your real life girlfriend without her noticing?

There's a Werewolves in London joke somewhere in here, but I can't figure out what.

Wouldn't sending my special lady the AV Club review of Channing Tatum's new movie, which gave it a C, be more effective, since it might prevent me from having to see it?

Contrary to what his name might suggest, @avclub-558e947d0fa85c4730c411b476645c25:disqus actually experiences a vast array of emotions.

That took you three minutes to find and post after this article was posted.

Then why did I have the bowl, Bart? Why did I have the bowl?

Oh come on.

Oh COME ON!

Apparently 8O remains whereas Ghenkins the Manservant's absence continues.  Whatever ended up happening to him?  He was all over the boards for a while and then he vanished without explanation like Amelia Earhart,  or Damon Wayans from New Girl.
