Twin V Twin – Top Twins in Pop Culture
Therese
I think it’s safe to say that twins are an important matter to both of us so lets continue with some of the twins that have and continue to influence the twinny culture!
5. Patty and Selma, The Simpsons
The Simpson‘s infamous twin sisters, Patty and Selma are the chain-smoking croaking sarcastic sisters of Marge Simpsons who both work at the DMV. They are literally the characters that “suck the life out of everything!”
4. Fred and George Weasly
The ultimate magical duo! This duo, born on April 1st this michevous set of troublemakers provided much of the comic relief in the Harry Potter series. Check out a collection of their best moments here.
3. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
We know, we know. Say what you will about these two — but if you were a little girl in the early-to-mid ‘90s, you most likely went through or knew someone who had a major Mary-Kate and Ashley phase. Also did you know they’re not actually identical twins??
2. Luke and Leia Skywalker
While preparing for a last battle with the Empire, Luke reveals to Leia that she is, in fact, his twin sister and that Darth Vader is their father. Initially reluctant to believe him, Leia somehow realizes that Luke speaks the truth.
As some of you might know, twins run in the Skywalker family as Leia, later gives birth to the twins Jaina and Jacen.
Astute viewers might ask why, if Leia somehow “always knew” that Luke was her twin brother, she decided to kiss him. Sure, it’s gross, but we’ll cut ‘em some slack; after all, they did save the galaxy and there are worse twins out there!!
1. Jamie and Cersei Lannister
The number one on my list purely based on the reason that they are completely messed up!
Like all great twin characters in this list, Cersei and Jaime Lannister are incredibly devoted to each other. However unlike the rest on this list, this villainous pair share a lot on intimate moments – (OK Luke and Leia kissed but these pair take it a bit further…like way further). There’s not much weirder than twincest, especially once you add in the fact that they have kids.
So that’s the list folks – from the twisters for your viewing pleasure! From wrecking our heads to saving the galaxy these twins are a staple of our entertainment culture. But this list isn’t exhaustive and if you think we’ve missed an important pairing please let us know by commenting and sharing your opinions!
