Ricky-Jude Relationship

The Ricky-Jude relationship is the friendship between Ricky Vincent and Jude Moody.

Overview
Ricky and Jude have been friends since the day they met, when Ricky made a vow to protect the shockingly shy kid, just a few months younger than him. As they grew, Jude started to return the favour. Their friendship remains unshakeable throughout the course of the show.

Ricky is first seen looking for Jude by the football field, something he's teased for the second Jude arrives. Their close connection is immediately apparent. Ricky worries about Jude's smoking habit, while Jude continues teasing, calling him 'kid', despite being younger. When Beth Corcoran arrives, Jude deliberately embarrasses Ricky for a while, and quickly loses interest as the two flirt, and discuss the newly-formed Glee Club, clearly forgetting he's even present. When Beth leaves, Ricky immediately says they have to audition. Jude is incredulous, but as they do everything together, he reluctantly agrees.
