If you’ve ever met or known a petulant toddler with no filter who knows or at least, thinks that they’re just the greatest person ever – then you’ve met Jackie Burkhart from That '70s Show. Played by Mila Kunis for the entire run of the show, the character was easily one of the more popular, but at the same time polarizing characters on the show. That is in no small part thanks to Mila’s likeability as a person in real life.

On a sitcom, characters are always forced to be involved in one another’s lives, otherwise, there’s not a lot of situations for the series to explore. Despite being part of the basement crew, in any other world, Jackie is sitting at the “mean girls” table with the rest of the so-called popular girls’ club. But on That 70’s Show, she fit in (begrudgingly), with the rest of the crew.

Like any other of the characters on the series, there are plenty of things that make no sense about Ms. Jaqueline Beulah Burkhart; thanks to the nature of how sitcoms work. More than any other character, she was actually allowed to grow and mature as a person as opposed to the usual no one learns anything from week to week. There’s still plenty that makes no sense about her, or just choose to ignore.

Here are 20 Things Wrong With Jackie We All Choose To Ignore.

20. She’s Really Young

The producers of That '70s Show were looking for 18-year-old kids to star on their show. When Mila Kunis tried out for the show, she famously told the producers of the show that she will be eighteen. She just neglected to tell them when. She won the role and was 14 at the time, but by then everyone loved her.

Her being pretty young got written into several episodes but was something that completely dropped by the end of the show, and Jackie was treated as the same age as the rest of the kids.

19. She Constantly Puts Up With Kelso’s Antics

The reason that Jackie started hanging out in the basement in the first place, was because she was dating Kelso. She was clearly smarter than the guy, but the two bonded over the fact that they were both superficially pretty. No matter the reason, Jackie shouldn’t have been putting up with her boyfriend’s pranks, antics, and treatment of her.

Kelso was unfaithful to her with Pam Macey, and Eric’s sister Laurie. If for some reason that’s not enough, how about making Jackie walk home while he drove his van right next to her, but technically she was the one who started that fight.

18. She Makes Fun Of Donna

As the only other girl in circle, you’d think Jackie would want to be a little nicer to Donna. But then you haven’t watched a sitcom in about...ever. Everyone on That '70s Show isn’t very nice to one another. But Jackie’s especially not nice to her friends, particularly Donna.

Jackie finds just about every way she can to comment on Donna’s “stringy” hair, or her giant-sized frame, even her wanting to be with Eric. Like most self-centered people, Jackie mostly teased Donna to make herself feel better.

17. Despite Being Happy With Hyde, She’s Jealous Of Annette

When Jackie and Hyde finally started dating, it was something that fans didn’t even know they wanted, until it happened. They actually seemed to compliment each other and both seemed to actually be tailor-made for each other. She made Hyde want to not be a complete slacker, and Jackie wasn’t as self-centered as she normally was.

Jackie even actually seemed to be happy, until she saw her ex, Kelso making out with his new girlfriend. It caused an almost automatic, “get off my boyfriend!” and led to a very heated argument that almost ended the couple before they could get going.

16. She Dates Fez

Sitcomland is a strange place sometimes...most times...all the time. But this kind of stuff sometimes does happen in circles of friends. Jackie became part of the group by dating Kelso. She became a real person by dating Hyde. But the entire time on the show, Fez was trying to win her affections.

During the final season, with Hyde married, and Kelso off in Chicago; she finally gave in to Fez’s incessant whining. It was what plenty of shows do in their declining years, or final season. Smash two people together for the heck of it, which is exactly how this relationship felt. The writers tried to say she always felt something towards him, but it just didn’t click, like the rest of the final season.

15. Starts Liking Hyde

Perhaps Jackie saw Hyde as a challenge at first. Since she knew how beautiful she was and Hyde seemingly couldn’t care less about Jackie. As a matter of fact, during the early days of the show, he emphatically didn’t like her. Then he didn’t like the way his friend Kelso was treating her.

Jackie mistook this as Hyde liking her, and in return decided that she liked him. Despite his protests; which even Mrs. Forman saw right through, he asked her out and they would date for a few weeks.

14. Hangs Out In Eric’s Basement

She became a de facto member of the group by dating Kelso. But once they broke up, she still hasn’t exactly endeared herself to the rest of the group. Yet, she was allowed to keep hanging around Kelso and all of his friends.

On the flip side of that coin, there’s no way that Jackie would actually want to continue to hang around the ex and his friends. Even if she had proclaimed Donna as her bestie, who also wasn’t a fan of Jackie’s, she just wasn’t going to mean to her.

13. Friendship With Donna

For all her supposed smarts, Jackie was actually the typical ditzy valley girl that populated a lot of sitcoms. That was part of her charm. Even as she was being mean to all of her friends, she’d proclaim that Donna was her best friend. Donna seldom agreed, until one day she realized that it was true.

Donna had always, even when she didn’t really want to, act like a big sister to Jackie. When her mom split town, she even convinced her dad to let Jackie move in with them. An interesting friendship of one person constantly insulting the other one’s beauty.

12. Friendship With Eric

Not only did Jackie think that Donna could do world’s better than Eric, she openly and outwardly mocked the guy. That isn’t necessarily the strangest thing to happen, since all of his friends made fun of him on the show. But Eric would give it back to her in kind. Every so often though, he would follow his girlfriend’s example and treat Jackie nicely.

Of all of the friendships on That '70s Show, this pairing always seemed to have come from left field. But still, Eric is the one guy in Point Place to not try to hook up with her, and despite his misgivings, he was always trustworthy whenever Jackie came to him.

11. Relationship With Red

Even though they all hang out in his basement, Eric and all of his friends know that Red really doesn’t like kids. Still, he does show the proper amount of affection any father would show to the several kids who show up at his house seemingly every day.

For some reason, maybe because her own father split, Jackie isn’t terrified of Red at all. She even dives in to hug him on more than one occasion. Even Red couldn’t believe or fathom it - “When the hell did this start? The kids all used to run away from me! That’s the way I liked it!”
