The basic bro TV fan is easy to spot. He quotes Seth MacFarlane shows and plays The Walking Dead drinking games. ESPN dominates his TV, and he can recite Mac and Charlie's lines from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia with eerie accuracy. This list features top basic bro shows that can be turned into drinking games at a moment's notice, fitting perfectly into the dude bro lifestyle. These shows cater to basic bro interests: sports, action, women, drinking, and bro bonding. He'll even tune out his girlfriend to turn up the volume on one of these guy-friendly TV shows. Monday Night Football isn't even on this list. Giggity, giggity, giggity! Know any other bro TV shows that dudes love? Add them if they're not already listed.
