I have a World Record for High Fives. Former curmudgeon writing for Nerdist, Dorkly, College Humor & Cracked. Current curmudgeon for BATL Axe Throwing in Chicago.
Things like this don't help anyone. Trends this stupid only serve to make the person doing it feel like they helped or did something. It helps them feel like they're the main character and nothing else. Utterly fucking dogshit

Best friend of lead character who is in a loving relationship with a person perfect for them. Seems to live life above all other stress and sees things from a different and sometimes infuriatingly wise place?

Strong, confident, funny, capable and accomplished lead dealing with a complicated relationship with their ex husband and becomes friends with the other quirky female lead?

Weird handsome confident goofball with good hair that's seemingly above a lot of the day to day minutiae?

Young man with lighting quick wit and dry sense of humor struggling with anger issues and a complicated relationship with his father. Could solve a lot if they'd just be willing to talk?

Bad ass quirky accomplisjed woman willing to get in anyone's face for their friends. Confident and capable and sometimes wary of being vunerable?

Gruff yet loveable supporting grumpy character with a hard outer shell protecting the fact that he's also just a person dealing with life and getting older. Fiercely loves his friends despite often denying that he has any feelings at all?

It's not a perfect 1:1 comparison but Brett Goldstein and Bill Lawrence are good at certain characters. That's why Shrinking is basically also Ted Lasso

Main character dealing with the loss of a spouse in some way or another. Endearing to almost everyone and keeps positive attitude as a mask?

I set a world record 15 years ago.
Then wrote about it a couple years ago.

High five someone today!
