First of all, how about a hand for the image above? Could that be any more perfect for this article? I think not! Because these days, we're all The Dude, to some degree. We're all just hanging out in our bathrobes at home, desperate for toilet paper. Which got us thinking, would The Dude make for a good roommate during the current pandemic? Which other movie characters would you want to be stuck in quarantine with?

For this fun little exercise, we chose 10 memorable characters we'd want to quarantine with for various reasons, keeping in mind the overall chemistry of the room. You can't have Harry Potter and Voldemort in your bunker, because they'd be at each other's throats non-stop. That's not to say that someone else from the wizarding world wouldn't be fun to quarantine with, as you'll see below, but we limited ourselves to one character per franchise.

Whether you want to imagine yourself alone with one of these ten characters, or living in a giant underground bunker all together, is entirely up to you. I think they'd all make pretty chill roommates, and each of them brings something special to the table. I even threw in a bonus pick for good measure. Let me know who'd you want to quarantine with in the comments section below.

Axel Foley from Beverly Hills Cop

I'll tell you why I like Axel Foley. He's a good-natured guy, and he's loyal. When his buddy Mikey Tandino gets killed in Detroit, he uses all his vacation time to go to Beverly Hills and find out who killed him. In the sequel, when Beverly Hills Police Captain Andrew Bogomil gets shot, he flies out to Beverly Hills to find out who killed him. Axel is played by Eddie Murphy at the peak of his powers, so you know the character can't help but have a great sense of humor. He's the kind of guy who can take a punch and land a punchline, Axel is also a great negotiator with decent taste in music, and frankly, he's just plain cool. He'd be a fun guy to have around in quarantine. I could also see him being a leader in the bunker, as Axel had a pretty good head on his shoulders. Plus, without any cars around, I wouldn't have to worry about him sticking a banana in my tailpipe.

Carl Casper from Chef

Chef Carl Casper may be the least-known of this group, but he may be the most important. There were a lot of movie chefs to choose from, but Carl makes the kind of comfort food that I'd actually want to eat during a time of crisis. Carl started out cooking for fancy folks in Brentwood, but once he begins selling Cuban sandwiches out of a food truck, his relationship to food deepens and his menu actually benefits. I also considered Gene from Wet Hot American Summer and Remy from Ratatouille, but I didn't think I'd want to be trapped with a rat in close quarters, no matter how charming, let alone a guy who talks to vegetables and humps fridges. Thus, Carl Casper won out, and a big part of that is the way Jon Favreau makes a meal out of this character. A sweaty, bandana-clad Favs is more than welcome in my bunker, but it's his delicious cuisine that serves as his ticket inside.

The Dude from The Big Lebowski

The Dude. What can I say about The Dude? He's The Dude! What more needs to be said? He's the dudest Dude who ever duded before. El Dudearino. And as played by Jeff Bridges, The Dude is the man. His personal philosophy and generally laid-back way of life would ideally set the tone for the group's general mood. While The Dude could never compete with Yoda as the group's wise sage, he could dispense his own kind of wisdom. He'd lounge around in his bathrobe smoking weed and drinking White Russians, and I'm sure he could rig up some kind of makeshift bowling alley to keep us all entertained. The Dude also seems like he'd be down for a good dance party from time to time, and I'm all about that vibe. I thought about going with Silent Bob here, but I can only afford one stoner, and I think even Kevin Smith would have to agree that The Dude is the chillest guy there ever was.

Ellen Ripley from Alien

If I'm actually going into an underground bunker with a group of people for an undetermined length of time, eventually we're going to need someone brave to poke their head out and make sure it's safe for us to come out. That person would have to be very, very brave, and there are few movie characters braver than Ellen Ripley. I mean, Bruce Willis didn't fight a giant alien in Die Hard, did he? As played by Sigourney Weaver, Ripley is one of the greatest heroes in movie history. She's  just a warrant office on the ill-fated spaceship Nostromo, but she's obviously a smart cookie. Not only was she sent to space in the first place, but she outwits an alien -- several times. Ripley's survivor skills may be unparalleled, so I'd want to stay close to her. She also has access to dope spacesuits that would be quite useful during a pandemic. Her distinguished background would make her an asset to the group.

Hermione Granger from Harry Potter

Hermione is the key to the entire Harry Potter franchise. She's the glue that holds the whole thing together, the beating heart of the series, and I'd expect her to fill the same role in my little bunker. She'd represent peace and love and a little bit of mischief, and I'd much rather chill with her than Harry himself. A boy wizard is the last person I'd want to be quarantined with. Hermione knows magic herself, so even though she may not know a spell that would work against the coronavirus, I'd be excited to see if she could conjure toilet paper out of thin air. Emma Watson does a wonderful job bringing J.K. Rowling's creation to life, so if there's one character from the wizarding world I'd save a space for, it'd be the forever-charming Hermione Granger.

Jackie Brown from Jackie Brown

This isn't a list of the coolest movie characters, but it sort of is, isn't it? After all, you wouldn't want to be trapped with someone who wasn't cool, right? Well, Jackie Brown, as played by the great Pam Grier, is the fucking coolest. She's got dope taste in fashion and music, and you know she's not afraid to put someone in their place if they step out of line and threaten the harmony of the group. Jackie is also very clever. She's a different kind of survivor than Ripley, but she can keep her wits about her in dangerous situations just as easy. I'll admit that it was a given that one of Quentin Tarantino's characters was going to make the cut, and I thought about going with Mia Wallace, who is also super cool. But at the end of the day, I was worried that Mia might do all the drugs in the bunker, and we can't open the door to get a doctor if she overdoses. Jackie Brown, believe it or not, is the safest play here. Boo-ya!

Luis from Ant-Man

I'll tell you why Michael Pena's Luis from Ant-Man needs to be here -- because every story out of Luis' mouth is pure gold. He could turn the most mundane story into something exciting. And in quarantine, you need some excitement. Not a ton happens. Some days fly by, but others pass by slowly, as if time itself has stopped. Luis could take the smallest thing that happens in quarantine and turn it into an incredible story of great interest. His energy is infectious, and he would be the kind of human pick-me-up that the group would want to have around when times get tough and things get a bit dark. Plus, he's a security consultant, so he could help fortify the bunker and keep us safe, and he's an ex-con, so he could offer helpful tips about living in close quarters under stressful conditions. This is low-key one of my best picks to quarantine with me.

Mulan from Mulan

Move over, Katniss and Rey! Between Ripley and Mulan, this group is depending on two of the toughest women in cinema to protect them, and to be honest, I've never felt safer. Mulan is the only character on this list based on a real person -- a fearless warrior who will do anything to protect her people. Not only is she courageous, but she's also compassionate. Ming-Na Wen provided the voice of Mulan but Lea Salonga does the singing, and let me tell you, this girl can sing. Her beautiful voice could help brighten everyone's spirits, provided she takes requests. Otherwise, all that Disney music could get old fast. I like having an animated character in my bunker, especially one who adds some much-needed diversity in the event we need to restart the human race.

Peter Venkman from Ghostbusters

Peter Venkman would be my best friend in quarantine. My right hand. My emergency contact. My shoulder to cry on. My confidante. He's the kind of guy who would bust my balls for not calling him Dr. Peter Venkman above, but he wouldn't take it personally. Yes, he holds Ph.D.s in both parapsychology and psychology, the latter of which could come in handy given the toll a quarantine can take on one's mental health. I mean, imagine if Bill Murray was your therapist. That'd be awesome, right? As a man of science and medicine, he may not be as explicitly cool as The Dude, or even Axel Foley, but Venkman had great comic timing and was always quick with a joke. He also knows better than to cross the streams, which is probably how we got into this whole mess in the first place.

Yoda from Star Wars

I was limited to one character per franchise, and it's hard to compete with this Star Wars legend, who edged out Morpheus from The Matrix for this coveted final slot. Yoda would be the house mother, the ancient one who maybe even lived through a pandemic hundreds of years earlier, because he is allegedly close to 900 years old. Yoda's job would be to keep everyone calm, as panic helps no one. Or is it, no one panic helps. I don't know. Either way, the little green guy voiced by Frank Oz would sign off on all the big decisions in the bunker, and help settle personal disputes. He'd provide some much-needed wisdom and a deep sense of history. Those are important, because you never want to be the smartest person in any room. It's not a fun feeling. Yoda may be little, but he holds a lot of value. Yes, the Force is strong with this one.

Non-Human Bonus Pick: WALL-E

WALL-E is a cute robot voiced by Ben Burtt who wouldn't take up any resources because he does not need to eat or drink or breathe oxygen. He'd function as the house pet/maid, cleaning up after us humans and offering companionship. He'd also tell our sob stories in case we ever ran out of supplies and began to eat other. WALL-E would be the character you'd ask to take photos of you in quarantine so you could post them on social media and make your enemies jealous by pretending to have fun. And who knows? Maybe EVE could even tag along... the more the merrier, I say! So long as they stay away from my stockpile of Diet Coke and everything bagel seasoning.
