Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher met on the set of That ‘70s Show in 1998, where they played the infamous on-again, off-again couple Michael (or, more commonly known, Kelso) and Jackie. Almost a decade after the show’s final episode, the two got married after a few years of dating. Kunis recently commented that, on That ’90s Show reboot, Michael and Jackie are married, which she finds hard to believe (per Variety).
That said, Kelso and Jackie’s comedic pairing was one of the most enjoyable parts of That ’70s Show altogether. Despite the final episode revealing that Jackie ends up with Fez, Wilmer Valderrama’s character, it isn’t hard to believe that she would ultimately take Kelso back. Here are Kelso and Jackie’s best moments on That ‘70s Show.

5 Kelso’s Makeover
The Carsey-Warner Company
One of the most memorable moments between Jackie and Kelso in That ’70s Show is when she requests to do his makeup. While the rest of the gang heads out to a dance club, Kelso and Jackie hang behind while her parents are out for the evening. After some slight convincing, Kelso agrees to allow Jackie to do his make-up, but only on the condition that he will look like David Bowie by the end of it. When all is said and done, he ended up having a great time and enjoyed being pampered by her. However, Jackie is still not satisfied and requests that Kelso put on a dress to complete the look. Again, Kelso complies, and while the two are dancing in Jackie’s room, her father comes home and drags him out of the house.

4 Kelso Babies
Season four of That ’70s Show put a spotlight on a different side of Jackie’s character. Earlier in the season, she finds herself in need of a job after being financially cut off from her father for dating Kelso. After some time of her being hard at work, Jackie demands that he also get a job since she is the only one contributing to the relationship. Kelso finds a job perfectly suited and easy for him, which allows him to buy Jackie a Valentine’s Day present. However, when she finds out that Kelso is selling his bodily fluids for money, she marches him down to the bank to demand his samples back. In the most ironic way, the two fight and then make up in the waiting area at the clinic before grabbing the keys to borrow one of the rooms. This instance alone easily makes it one of the best epsiodes of That ’70s Show.
3 The Proposal
By season eight of That ’70s Show, Kelso and Jackie’s relationship had seen more splits and reunions than you can count on one hand. However, in an episode called “Misfire,” Kelso feels as though his life has no meaning and the only time that he was truly happy was when he was with Jackie. In his effort to live a fulfilling life, Kelso makes arrangements to propose, but in true fashion of the show, he gets offered his dream career position. Despite the news, Kelso decides to propose anyway, only to have Jackie reject. Kelso jumps for joy and declares that he “is the happiest man alive” and it seems that the on again, off again relationship is finally at a close. Of course, in a recent interview, Kunis revealed that Jackie and Kelso are married in the series’ reboot That ’90s Show.
2 No Stuffed Animals in the Van
One of the longest running jokes on That ’70s Show was Kelso’s on-going bad luck with vans that he owns. His first van met its demise sinking into an ice pond when the gang goes to a remote ice fishing shack that was said to be a romantic cabin. Yet before that van sunk, it met the demands of Jackie. One of Jackie’s biggest obsessions was her stuffed animals, and she requested to keep some in the van. Kelso denies her request and spends the night attempting to coax her back into the car as she walks beside it, pouting. However, the funniest part of the episode comes at the very end, when the script is flipped and Jackie is driving the van with her stuffed animals, and Kelso is walking outside it.
1 Jackie Needs a Coat
Arguably one of the best episodes of That ’70s Show was “Ice Shack” in season three. After one of their many break-ups, Kelso invites Jackie, Eric (played by Topher Grace), and Donna (played by Laura Prepon) on a romantic getaway to is uncle’s cabin in an attempt to mimic Eric’s actions and win Jackie back. Kelso purposely excludes Fez (played by Wimer Valderrama) because he will attempt to sabotage the plan due to his love for Jackie. Fez ultimately catches up to the van, and the gang heads to what ends up being an ice shack and not a spacious cabin. Stranded in the cold, the group plays the newlywed game with Fez at the reins as the judge. However, before heading inside, Eric offers Donna his coat after she declares that she is cold, only to have Jackie request the same shortly after. Kelso exclaims, “Damn Jackie, I can’t control the weather,” making it one of the most quoted lines of the series as a whole, and Screen Rant’s number one pick for the best Kelso quotes of all time.
