13 Ex-Girlfriends Who Give Crazy New Meaning

at .
Call Rebecca Bunch whatever you’d like; certifiable, wacky, insane, cool, horrible, hilarious, or maybe even crazy. We won’t disagree on any of those terms. 
 
There is one thing that you have to call the actress who portrays the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Rachel Bloom, and that’s a Golden Globe winner and a Critic’s Choice Award winner for Best Actress in a Comedy Television Series. 
 
Before Rebecca Bunch came onto our television screens, there were many other crazy ex-girlfriends on television, each with their own unique brand of insanity and moments that made us want to shake our heads in exasperation, not written to be quite as sympathetic as Bunch is. 
 
Some were horrible while others were horribly wonderful, but all of these ladies have a little bit of insanity that tickles our fancy!
 
We compiled a list of some of our favorite nutty television ex-girlfriends. See if yours made our list and tell us who your favorite crazy ex is!
 

1. Katherine Pierce - The Vampire Diaries

Katherine was dead set on anything and everything to ruin the lives of her exes, Damon and Stefan Salvatore, and their friends. One of her craziest acts? Pretending to be her doppelganger Elena in order to make Damon believe that Elena had kissed him. Katherine has moved on from The Vampire Diaries, and the men she left behind, but damn if we don’t miss her every single week.

2. Rebecca Bunch - Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

It’s not entirely crazy to move to the opposite side of the country to find happiness, right? It is when your only connection to your new town is your former summer camp boyfriend! Rebecca is trying everything in her wheelhouse to prove that she didn’t move to West Covina, California for Josh Chan, but based on the title of the show alone, it’s pretty clear what’s really going on here.

3. Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren - Orange is the New Black

Suzanne Warren had a very short lived romance with fellow inmate Piper Chapman…in fact it was so short lived, Piper wasn’t even aware of it. Suzanne’s love for Piper continued in bizarre ways. Anyone else remember that time that Crazy Eyes peed on the floor in front of Piper’s bed? Talk about marking your territory.

4. Jan Levinson - The Office

Jan Levinson had some very destructive tendencies and thankfully we got to see them all play out before she bid farewell to The Office. After being dumped by Michael Scott, she got a boob job in order to win back his affections. Her odd behavior didn’t stop there. During the most uncomfortable sales pitch for her candle company ever, we found out that she had made Michael get a vasectomy, and then have it reversed, only to change her mind again and reverse THOSE effects. (Snip Snap! Snip Snap!) Jan even went so far as to tell Michael, after she had an artificially inseminated baby when their romance ended, that he shouldn’t date Holly, the woman he’d go on to marry. Jan Levinson, you beautiful mess, we’ll let you sing “Son of a Preacher Man” to us any day.

5. Saffron - Firefly

Saffron tricked Mal into a wedding. She used her feminine wiles to get him to consummate that marriage…and then revealed herself to be a con artist, one who would go toe to toe with the crew of Serenity more than once. Turns out Saffron the crazy ex of many men and poor Mal was just another sucker, naked and alone in the desert. Well, that went well.

6. Gail - The Grinder

Christina Applegate’s guest starring role on the Rob Lowe hit was completely insane! Gail, Dean’s former girlfriend, goes to great lengths to convince him that she has no idea that he’s famous, including hiding her television! She’s even convinced Dean that he should be a father figure to her son…the 23 year old Toby. Dean dodges the crazy bullet, but only just barely. Gail is one crazy ex we hope to see again someday.

7. Jeanette Peterson - How I Met Your Mother

Remember how creepy Jeanette was? After seeing Ted on a magazine cover, she started a fire, just to meet him. She stalked him on the subway with a book she knew he’d want to see her reading. She destroyed his stuff, first because she found spam e-mail and assumed Ted was into porn. She took destruction to the extreme when she threw all of his stuff out the window, and burned his famous red cowboy boots, because she was found Barney’s infamous Playbook…it’s no wonder after dating Jeanette, Ted decided to stop seeing women until he met his kids’ mother. After a girl like that, he needed a break from females!

8. Ruby - Supernatural

Ruby was hot and heavy with the younger Winchester, Sam, for a while, feeding him demon blood to help boost his demonic powers. Sam ignored warning after warning from his brother, Dean, about Ruby’s crazy eyes. Dean is revealed to be right when Ruby finally shows her true colors; she was a double agent, using Sam to release Lucifer. Sam’s lucky that his big brother never gives up on him…he took Ruby down (with Sam’s help, in the end), and everyone rejoiced that this crazy demon was finally out of the Winchester’s lives.

9. Lily Anne Lonergan - Hart of Dixie

Has there ever been a more insane hypochondriac ex than one who writes hit songs based on breakups? She may have written some catchy tunes with “Run From Wade” and “Unlucky Tucky” but let’s all agree on this: we never ever want to make Lily Anne angry. Though, we are interested in hearing her next hit about Meatball…

10. Tammy #2 - Parks and Recreation

Ron Swanson’s second ex-wife Tammy was a complete and total nut job. She returned to Pawnee time and time again to get back into Ron’s life by getting into his bed. It worked, briefly. Remember their second wedding, when Tammy somehow managed to get Ron into cornrows and into a jail cell with her? Or when she made out with Tom in an attempt to make Ron jealous? Or when she showed off her lady parts at Ron’s woodworking award ceremony? This is one crazy bitch we really miss.

11. Quinn Fabray - Glee

What do you do when you’re 16, head Cheerio, president of the celibacy club, and you discover that you’re pregnant? The decision was pretty simple for Quinn. She convinced her boyfriend, Finn, whom she hadn’t done the deed with, that he got her pregnant when he…got excited…in a tub with her. Little did Finn know that she had actually slept with his best friend, Puck, and the little bun in Quinn’s oven wasn’t his. All of this before they had even competed at Regionals!

12. Zelena - Once Upon a Time

This crazy witch tricked her sister Regina’s love Robin Hood into sleeping with her by pretending to be his wife, Marian, in order to get pregnant. Sounds confusing, doesn’t it? What isn’t confusing is how insane Zelena is. We’re not sure if we’ll ever see the Wicked Witch redeem herself, but we’re having all sorts of fun watching her ruin the lives of everyone in Storybrooke.

13. Tess Harding - Roswell

Fans of Roswell were all about Liz and Max and their romance. So, it’s safe to say, anyone who threatened their happiness would immediately be hated. Enter: Tess. Tess was Max’s ex-wife, Ava, back on Antar. Tess took advantage of a break between Liz and Max, tricked Max into getting her pregnant (man, that happens a lot on this list…) and uses her mindwarp powers on him, all for the sake of destiny. Luckily, this doesn’t ultimately keep Max and Liz apart, but not before we all decided that Tess was hella nuts.
