[@LG-ri4km]

If we're taking just about the most unexpected kiss (and not relationship) it's Kurt Hummel and Dave Karofsky's for sure ! I thought Dave was going to hit Kurt because he was threatening him and... That! I was 😮😮😮

[@trinaq]

Nobody saw Mondler coming, but once they did, they were absolutely perfect for each other. I loved their relationship even more than Ross and Rachel, mostly because they were more stable, and less dramatic.

[@wowjennawow]

agreed! they were meant to be together ❤

[@edwardwilliams1772]

Totally agree with you they are my favorite couple Ross and Rachel are toxic

[@TheLauren800]

Agree!! Good list but a lot of these couples you knew would kiss eventually so I feel like Mondler should be #1!

[@cdawg9895]

Agree 💯

[@christineburk4026]

I agree. Mondler is much sweeter than Ross and Rachel. Not that I minded the latter but I kind of have a bias towards best friends to lovers.

[@LulisIndica]

So happy that Jess and Nick's kiss is the top 1! It was one of the most amazing moments on TV. Rewatched a while a go and it took my breath away all over again!

[@mystikceleste]

I am so happy that you included Pacey/Joey and Stiles/Lydia. Two of my all time favorite couples.

[@Wikia3033]

Here are my favorite couples - Jake and Amy (such a sweet moment), Jim and Pam (so tender yet heartbreaking - knowing that Jim's gonna leave), Sheldon and Amy (completely unexpected and cute), Ben and Leslie (can't stop rewatching it for the last couple of weeks). But I adore that Monica and Chanler's kiss - while watching it for the first time I counted, Chandler came back exactly 10 seconds after leaving! My favorite couple in Friends!

[@DanGamingFan2846]

I remember the "Seddie" kiss from _iCarly_ very vividly, as well as the flame war that resulted between Seddie and Creddie shippers. And a few years ago, I realized the argument was the plot of the episode, "iStart a Flame War". I love it when writers take meta inspirations.

[@futuremovieactor]

Correction: "Fan War"

[@jessicamagri8211]

Kind of surprised Fitzsimmons (Agents of Shield) and Shules (Psych) didn’t at least make honorable mentions. Fitzsimmons’ first kiss happens at an inopportune/passionate time, and then Shawn and Jules kissing for the first time in 5 seasons while she was with Declan was quite a shock!

[@user-PuppyDan]

Bones and Booth's first kiss

[@MrGeekFreek]

Xander Harris and Cordelia Chase on Buffy the Vampire Slayer was also pretty unexpected. He was a dork. She was popular. They hated each other but then they started making out after fighting a man made of bugs.

[@LvndrHppE2]

I would have been very upset if that New Girl kiss wasn't on the list. I watched that scene on a loop when that episode aired.

[@amandaredd3057]

I was a HUGE Dawson's Creek fan back in the day. I remember during season 1 being so pissed at Dawson's obliviousness and thinking how funny it'd be if Joey snagged Pacey instead. Then that snowballed and BAM I was a super shipper! 😂

[@ingada]

I don't remember why I even watched this a life ago, but i definitely like it😅

[@MrMikeInverse]

for me Spike and Buffy's first kiss and the one that blew my mind. is at season 5 when he thought she was Buffy-bot and told her he would rather die than see her in pain and then she bend over and kissed him. That moment, his realization after a few seconds and her lines after that what he did for her and Dawn was real, and won't forget it.😮 hands down that was the moment they became one of my favourite couples.

[@Sakis111]

Thank You, was about to write the same thing, and it looks like Watch Mojo has lost its Mojo not knowing this fact. It was great moment of the season and future relationship of Spike and Buffy

[@joshuamohlman]

Me whenever I see two characters who clearly love each other: *KISS DAMNIT, KISS!*

[@dominika85]

There's a lot kisses I like or was surprised by, but LoVe one is definitely my favourite. It give me feels even almost 20 years later. And, I wasn't big New Girl fan, but there's just something with a girl looking hopefully into guys eyes and then wallking away dissapointed, only to be grabbed by him and kissed so passionately (just like in Veronica Mars).

[@justin_rosh24]

I already knew Jess and Rory would be included in this 🥹💕

[@chelseacanales8763]

Yes! Donna and Harvey are on this list.

[@takemeandrun]

Chuck and Sarah from Chuck!! It’s so good! A bomb is about to go off and she just kisses him, and the background music just disappears! It’s amazing!

[@loveolicity4542]

Thank you MsMojo for including Darvey.

[@tanjaeckh]

Where's Castle and Beckett's first kiss??

[@MOGIMONTHYETH]

Honorable mentions were more unexpected than some kisses that were on the actual list

[@HarmoneeAtcheson]

Oh my gosh chandler and Monica were my favorite couple off friends

[@chheinrich8486]

Captain swan, yes ❤ im a oncer

[@pixiedustedprose]

Missing Chuck & Sarah (Chuck), Shawn & Jules (Psych), and Jeff & Annie (Community).

[@volleyone22]

i agree with number 1 !!!!! i love them so much

[@AmaraEmme]

I think the only one missing is Quinn and Logan!

[@Boom_Bianca]

Yeah I thought they would be top 5

[@zamyafields6513]

Yes 🙌

[@zamyafields6513]

*MY FAVORITES:* Monica & Chandler - Friends Jonah & Amy - Superstore Quinn & Logan - Zoey 101 Nick & Jess - New Girl Sam & Freddie - iCarly Ben & Leslie - Parks and Recreation Jake & Amy - Brooklyn Nine-Nine Elena & Damon - The Vampire Diaries Blair & Chuck - Gossip Girl

[@HarmoneeAtcheson]

Oh my gosh yes i loved Monica and chandler and Elena and Damon we have something in common you are so pretty by the way

[@paul-zx5du]

Yes, #1. Perfect. ❤

[@billwomack3904]

You missed the 1st kiss of Melissa Joan Hart & Joey Lawrence in Melissa & Joey

[@priscilaserpa4114]

Nobody will never understand the loud GASP I did when I saw that kiss in Glee, I was NOT expecting. And remembering: it had rumors that that episode would have an gay kiss, and it was also the first Blaine episode ever, so everybody just assumed that the kiss would be Kurt and Blaine, it was so "wtf?" when it happen the way it did, i was truly surprised at the time

[@smn2808]

Fleabag and Hot Priest were the most beautiful couple 🥹

[@meganbee6859]

Chuck and Blair should have been more than an honourable mention

[@neliafahloun9448]

Loved the list, but a bit disappointed that Sex Education’s Eric and Adam didn’t make it!

[@tommiejonsson8952]

C.C and Niles in "The Nanny"

[@susie9893]

I wouldn't say that was unexpected precisely. But it sure was a lot of fun!

[@michelleferguson6568]

Vaughn and Sydney in Alias. Amazing.

[@pretakami]

I hope The X Files is number one in the top 20 most expected TV kisses! 😁

[@AcidCasper17]

Tim & Dawn from The Office. (UK version) Thought it wasn’t going to happen….

[@tomdarko7012]

All of these kisses were insanely expected though? This should've been called Top 20 Will They Or Won't They Kisses

[@Paul1985]

Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker's first kiss?

[@allih8021]

YES!!!!!

[@jamiecallahan3987]

Logan and Veronica was such a surprise! Monica and Chandler was awesome as well.

[@heatherbenson7419]

I found Sookie and Erik surprising honestly

[@jamalvargas6146]

Jack Bauer & Renee' Walker 24 (2001-2010 ;2014) RIP To Her actress BTW she'll be missed

[@soassoas8886]

Kevin Arnold + Winnie Cooper (Wonder Years), Josh and Donna (The West Wing)

[@susie9893]

These are supposed to be UNexpected kisses?

[@blancarosales3400]

The most unexpected kisses for me were Monica and Chandler along with Sheldon and Amy I was so excited when it happened especially when Sheldon finally makes the first move and kisses Amy I was like OMG 🎉🎉🎉🎉 since then I started to love this couple even more. My top couples of TBBT were first Sheldon and Amy, then Howard and Bernadette, and finally Leonard and Penny because somehow reminded me so much of Ross and Rachel in so many ways.

[@susie9893]

Once again I notice a preponderance of teenies in 1 of your lists. I mean is that supposed to be believable? Was glad to see Friends in there at least - bit older. And that reveal scene was the best!

[@adriangarcia543]

Happy first day of April Msmojo

[@marykatezehr1074]

What about Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker from Chuck?!

[@waittillfamewtf2385]

Olivia Dunham & Peter Bishop 👽 "Fringe" (2008-2013)

[@topeogunmakinwa9347]

As of 2022, Brynhildr in the Darkness(2014) is officially a Timeless Classic, which mean every moments especially Hatsuna Wakabayashi unexpected kiss to Ryouta Murakami are one of the best moments in Anime TV Series for me. This month of April is the 9th Anniversary of Brynhildr in the Darkness(2014) (April 6, 2014).

[@futuremovieactor]

Axl Heck and Lexie Brooks-"The Middle" (2009-2018). Their first kiss was one of the best ever. Their dynamic was incredible and that storyline was perfectly paced with the most satisfying payoff ever. #LEXLFOREVER

[@sarasparrow9671]

You missed off Stede and Ed from Our Flag Means Death. Not unexpected because the chemistry was so BLATANT but unexpected because it wasn’t another case of queer baiting the fans.

[@shellybarnes5429]

I don't really think Rory and Jess are opposites. Jess seems more like he has PTSD at the beginning. He's hurting from the rejection or especially his father. Over time he grows so much. He and Rory were incredibly similar though. If she ever slows down long enough and gives him another try, I think they would work well together. She never seems to stay happy when a guy starts treating her well though, for some reason.

[@THATbitchBADbitch]

Chuck and Blair in honorable mentions?!?!?! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU MSMOJO!!

[@alucard00774]

How is Frank/Claire & Meechum out of this list? Especially Frank's kiss with him, that was Hella unexpected!

[@crysstallsalbatier96]

how about eric and donna from that's 70 show>; the nanny kisses???

[@mostafafarweez3161]

Where are Kisses from Smallville and the Arrowverse?

[@Takecareofyourbusiness]

Where IS VillanEve (Killing Eve) seriously ? The kiss on the bus on the Season 3.....seruouy

[@freddiemolinajr.8397]

good video

[@MarissaFloro]

All of this list is a great TV moments. Oh my goodness just watching this list let made me read live all of them at least all of the ones that I have seen. Oh i havent seen the no. One. Spot. Whoops.

[@DawnHelmickWood]

Josh and Donna -- West Wing

[@nuyoricanbooks]

so happy to see my ships emma and killian, buffy and spike, veronica and logan, rory and jess. the only one missing is klaus and caroline.

[@HartKent]

I remember seeing the kids from Buddy and Dawson coming from miles away - sorta was obvious from the tension. The one that really shocked me was Hot Lips and Hawkeye on MASH 😮

[@danamartinez7840]

#1 is the number 1!!! ✅️

[@rmo8267]

Annie and Jeff from Community, and Michael and Alex from Roswell New Mexico.

[@jennnakao7528]

Save the planet level content

[@EmzZone42]

Amy and Jonah 😊❤

[@eldudereno204]

I feel like I’ve seen a very similar video. On another channel, but I am here anyways!

[@natasscca]

Why Shameless kiss wasn't added but only told about?

[@7amart177]

Now do unexpected kisses in anime

[@rachelmiller1295]

Clary and Jace's first kiss was totally unexpected.

[@bennymora3086]

I bet Team Dawson was disappointed huh?😆💔

[@serenitynow85]

That Lydia Styles kiss... hmm, isn't that exactly what Daphne did to Velma

[@bellahuey1156]

Chuck and Blair should be #1

[@vatsal_agar]

Can we have more videos on Suits please????

[@AnnitaAndrade]

13:31 karofski is one of my favorite characters, his story is so sad, he also tries to kll himself :(

[@oscarnieman4202]

What about some from modern family full house or the Goldbergs???????

[@b9179]

The kiss between Stiles and Lydia happened in season 3

[@Iggybart05]

you guys did damon and elena dirty.... that kiss should have been top 5, not an honorable mention!

[@tanyam5471]

I am really torn between LoVe and Nick/Jess. I saw chemistry in these couples but it was very unexpected kisses. But guys you definitely forgot FitzSimmons and Sloan/ Don from Newsroom.

[@stvp68]

Quentin kisses Eliot in The Magicians #Queliot

[@Diggydog10_yt]

Hi

[@nerd26373]

God bless everyone. Have a good day.

[@horrorfan1455]

God bless you as well 🙏

[@aleksandrakettner905]

❤

[@Jeeshansameer2165]

Where’s Riley & Lucas Or Maya & Lucas Kiss From Girl Meets World

[@InuYasha94]

Again, this is not Elena with Damon. It is Katherine. You guys keep using this scene😂

[@DhruvMalikk]

Really, HIMYM is not in the top 20😂

[@courtneyburch6848]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😊👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@victorix30]

I thought Elena and Damon would top the list

[@carmelahirro1448]

iloveyou❤

[@keremels]

Poey being 17 is a CRIME

[@zeokingsilver]

Pucker up

[@ducky1480]

to be fair that damon/elena kiss isn't accurate,that was katherine not elena. damon and elena's first kiss is actually later on in the series

[@Marsha-at-Home-Endeavor]

#spikeforever

[@patriciajune5]

Logan and Quinn zoey 101😊

[@DROWSEKAR]

You missed Lisbon and Jane Kiss...

[@solidsnake9898]

Nah, number 1 should've been the infected and Tess from The Last of Us HBO episode 2!

[@joshuaneal8501]

Why isn't Toby and Spencer not even on the list

[@mariannatca]

Where is Killing Eve? 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

[@yadielenielbellecolon982]

🙊🤯🥰😍🤩👍

[@sandyproctor4901]

Pacey & Joey and Monica & Chandler Rory & Jess are the best couples. Love them. The rest meh

[@SenoritaTorres1]

Things WOULD have been better off platonic between Lucifer and Chloe. Chemistry was non existent. So forced and awkward.
