When two dudes "click," they become emotionally vulnerable with each other. It's an unspoken understanding.

When they go on adventures together, spend all their time together, share secrets, and eventually, better each other, only then do they earn the coveted title and become serious friendship goals.

Sadly, oftentimes, a bromance is broken up by an unexpected death that is extremely painful.

We're looking at some of our favorite TV bromances that took a deadly turn. Some were mere accidents, some motivated while other deaths involved one party making the ultimate sacrifice for the other.
