With the (second) Greek debt crisis, the ever growing political divide in the US, rampant racial tensions, and Donald Trump being second in the presidential polls, we have got a ton of major problems in the world. But one of the biggest problems is the abundance of famous people named Chris.

Hollywood’s a place full of trends. In fact, it’s the third trendiest place on earth, behind Pinterest and Olivia Pope’s closet. And what’s a greater trend than names? In the Golden Age of Hollywood, “Hepburn” was the “it name,” held by legends Katherine and Audrey. A few years ago, colors and directions were apparently in, as seen by the births of Blue Ivy Knowles and North By North West. But now, the greatest name trend in Hollywood is, unequivocally, “Chris.”

With all these Hemsworths, Evans, and Pratts running around with the same name, it could be difficult for a laymen to differentiate between them. So here’s a definitive list finally answering the age-old question, “Which Chris is the Best Chris?”

8. Chris Soules

Now, let's be real here. There's no way this Bachelor/Bachelorette/Dancing with the Stars "Prince Farming" would be anywhere other than at the bottom of this list. The only reason he's on this list at all is because his high-pitched girlish laugh still haunts me to this day, and that means staying power.

7. Chris Messina

Now, while those who watch The Mindy Project know how great Messina’s curmudgeonly Dr. Danny Castellano is, those who don’t watch The Mindy Project is a much bigger list. While Messina has also been in several classic movies ( Vicky Christina Barcelona, Argo, You’ve Got Mail ), he just doesn’t have the popularity necessary to be any higher on the list. But boy, can this man dance.


6. Chris Pine

Chris Pine’s relatively bad ranking on this list may come as a surprise to some, but hear me out! Sure, he can sing, he can dance, his eyes can literally see through the soul, he was in the defining movie of my adolescence The Princess Diaries 2, and I’m being told he was also in other movies like Star Trek (never heard of it). Forget Prince Farming, Pine is literally Prince Charming. But -- and like Nicki Minaj, this but is pretty big -- he was arrested for drunk driving and pled guilty to DUI. Sure, he sings, but he also drinks and drives. And that is why he's only the Number Six Chris in my heart.

5. Chris Evans

Our stalwart Captain America comes in at Number Five on this list of Chris’. Like his superhero alter ego, Chris Evans is great to look at, a wonderful person, and just kind of boring compared to the other guys around him.


4. Chris Hemsworth

The best Hemsworth brother by far rounds out our Top Four. Though rather interchangeable with Chris Evans, Hemsworth’s Australian accent gives him the edge. Aside from being the God of Thunder Down Under, this guy’s got a personality, many comedic roles coming up (like the Ghostbusters reboot), and he’s the only one other than Jared “Jesus” Leto who can pull of a man-bun.

3. Chris Martin

While not as “flashy” as his Chris counterparts, Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay, the band-you-love-to-hate (or in my case, just plain love unabashedly), is of of the world’s biggest rock stars. Not only that, but he’s also one of the most down-to-earth and genuine rock stars on the planet, involved with numerous charity efforts. Plus, he's a singer that's never been arrested for a DUI, so there's that. Also, he gets points just for his great effort at making Game of Thrones: The Musical.


2. David Beckham

Okay, not an actual “Chris,” but just look at him.


1. Chris Pratt

I mean, was there any doubt Chris Pratt wasn’t going to top this list? From his glorious days as Andy Dwyer on Parks and Recreation to his glorious days taming raptors in Jurassic World , Chris Pratt is the epitome of Chris-hood. He’s the Chris all other Chris’ wished they were. Great both chubby and ripped, Chris Pratt is the Number One Chris on this list and in our hearts.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

eye roll

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
