Robin (Cobie Smulders)
How I Met Your Mother

I'd actually want to be friends with the whole gang from HIMYM — I imagine legendary nights spent at the bar, swapping stories about college and singing that awesome theme song at the top of our lungs. So why does Robin (right) get the edge? Three reasons: (1) She's convenient — she lives close by in Brooklyn, so we could grab brunch on a lazy Sunday; (2) she's Canadian, meaning she'd probably get my obsession with Degrassi and Arcade Fire and free health care and funny accents; and (3) she Sparkles. So Robin, let's go to the mall and totally hang oot! — Dawnie Walton
