Since the bromance is the heart and soul of H50 (IMHO), I thought it only fitting to define it pictorially accompanied by a few captions of my own.
Undoubtedly, the "carguments" are the essence of the bromance, but they are difficult to capture via a still photo (you really have to witness them live on screen), so, here are some other, more visual examples.
To quote AOL:
"I love the relationship between McGarrett and Danno, and I love what we’ve both done with the characters. The guts of the show is McGarrett and Dano, and we can always watch that. If you love two characters and what happens between them, that can develop into anything, forever." — Collider, September 19, 2010
So how do you know when it's really a bromance?
1. When you go on a hike together even though you hate hiking
2. And then you agree to go horseback riding together..... and you hate that too
3. When you enjoy a sporting event together wearing a big red foam hand and you're not embarrassed
4. When you invite him to join you for a dinner of "surf and turf" with your family
5. When you first bond over beers on the beach
6. When the guy is more than 1/2 a foot taller than you and he's never made a short joke
7. When you can use him as a human napkin to wipe off your fishy smelling hand
8. When you can share a tiny park bench and not feel weird about it
9. When he actually pulls you by the shirt, you know it's important
10. When you can surf together and still not agree on anything
11. When, during a big case, you can take time out and share a shave ice together
12. When you can communicate with a look and very few words
13. When you enjoy Original Ray's pizza together and he shows you how to properly fold and eat a NY slice
14. When you can jokingly make a soft-porn police video together
15. When, after a tough case, you can put your feet up and have a hand gesture fight debating who would have made a better Ponch on "CHiPs"
16. When you actually put names to his facial expressions. Can you say "aneurysm face"??
17. When he loves and cares about your daughter almost as much as you do
18. When he is there to help you in your most desperate time of need
19. When he visits you in the hospital and brings your daughter to see you
20. When he risks everything and goes to the end of the earth to rescue you
21. And helps bring you to safety
22. When he lets you crash on his couch while you're "in between" apartments
23. And then buys you head phones so you can watch TV all night
24. When he pulls a gun on you while you're offering up two 6 packs of Longboards, you should seriously reconsider the "courtesy knock"
25. When you can enjoy brews on the boat while your perp "Joey the pizza guy" hangs out in the shark cage
26. When you tear up watching a movie about an alien giving birth, he offers you a tissue
27. When he knows to come find you and take you to dinner
28. When he helps tailor your Santa suit using the sewing skills he learned in the Boy Scouts
29. When, under duress, he helps push your dad's stalled out Mercury Marquis uphill in the blazing heat
30. When he comes into your house, he doesn't actually knock until he's in the kitchen.
31. When, within the first 24 hours that you meet, he pulls a gun on you
32. And then later that day, almost breaks your arm
33. When, after you take out the bad guy, you can just sit on the curb and have a heart to heart chat
34. And when you talk, you can tell by his eyes that he is really listening
35. When he looks at you like this....you're actually not freaked out
36. When he's there to support you when it matters most
37. When you can hang out at a club in your dress shirt and tie while using a cane and he doesn't make one snarky comment.
38. When you do not go totally ballistic when he enthusiastically greets your sister with open arms
39. And then wraps her up in a giant, shirtless bear hug
40. When you try to tell the "big jerk" you really are concerned about him flying off to North Korea
41. When you are hurt, he stays by your side
42. When you can hang out together and discuss the finer points of toe nail clipping
43. When he whole heartedly offers you unsolicited relationship advice, whether you want it or not
44. When you find yourself having to explain a smoke filled house, an uninvited dog upstairs and the nuances of the "pile system" while house sitting
45. When your sister asks if you're now "surf buddies" and you say, "well, yea, kinda...." and even she thinks that's cute
46. But later, your BFF, being all sensitive, calls you out and asks "Excuse me, so we are kinda surf buddies now?"
47. When you are not too embarrassed to ask him for help getting out of your own handcuffs
48. When you need to check the guy's pulse after he doesn't even notice 2 hot chicks "eye humping" him from afar
49. When you need to use words like "ergo" in order to explain the reasons why hanging the suspect off the roof in order to get him to talk is not such a good idea
50. And after, you get a finger pointed in your face and are told to "shut up" when you suggest taking the stairs down from the roof
51. When you can say to him, in all seriousness, "Look at you!!.....you clean up nice, babe" and he doesn't punch you in the mouth

57. When you can ride all day in the car together and never run out of things to talk about, or argue about

60. When you can sit side by side in a park and just talk.....about anything and everything
61. When you both simultaneously notice the same beautiful woman coming down the street
62. When it feels like your world is falling apart, he's there to let you know everything will be okay
63. When, after explaining the many reasons why you need to drive his car, he's still not buying it
64. When he looks at you like this, how can you not know how much he cares
65. When he's there to say "I told you so" when you find a giant rock smashed into your car's wind shield...
66. And he's still there sayin' the same thing later when, another rock is thrown through the car's rear window
67. When you agree to let him bring the dog along even though it pooped in your office
68. When your lady-friend likes your BFF and they bond and actually get along
69. When you're on a late night stakeout and you're okay with chatting about life while sipping a cup of tea
70. When he looks this distraught, there is absolutely nothing you wouldn't do to help him
71. When he winks at you
72. When you're driving a VW Thing with the guy crouched down in the back seat trying to evade the police and you decide to finally tell him why you're not happy....
73. When you're done, you glance into the rear view mirror....
74. And this is the look that stares back at you
75. When he risks his own safety to rescue you from a mountain....
76. And then, as you're being hoisted up by an army e-vac chopper...
77. He jokingly makes an air-heart and mouths the words, "I. love. you."....and yea, he really means it.... in a brotherly, ohana kind of way....
And then gives you the best smile ever
78. When, after they arrest you and put you in the squad car, he is there knocking on the window.....
79. And amongst a flurry of his wild and crazy hand gestures, he promises to get you out of this mess
80. All you can do is look out the window of the police car, be grateful he is on your side and hope that he can come through for you

86. And he unsympathetically asks, "What's the matter with you?"

88. When you trust him enough to share the mysteries of "The Champ Box"
89. When the "you can stop talking now" hand gesture makes him smile
90. When he fancies himself your relationship counselor
Source: Tumblr
91. When you get the 'Dear Danno" note and your heart just sinks....
Partner,
I’m sorry I couldn’t be there in person to tell you this, but I need to find Joe White. I think he lied to me about the identity of Shelburne and I need to get the truth. Shelburne is the real reason my father was murdered, and maybe even my mother. And until I get some answers I can’t do this job right.
Danno, I’m gonna need you to hold down the fort for a while.
I’ll be in touch.
Mahalo.
92. When, after helping him rescue his sister from kidnappers, he gives you the grateful, unspoken "thank you for helping me" look over his shoulder
93. When he affectionately says, for the very first time, "Book'em Danno"
And you can't help blurt out, "What'd I tell you about that??"
94. When your visit to him in jail, brings a smile to his face
95. When he finally catches up with you after getting shanked in prison and escaping, all he can do is yell at you......
"Breaking out of jail, taking out a cop......what is the matter with you?!?"
"Why are you yelling at me??"
96. When he tells you that you will never fit in because you are wearing a tie.
And you emphatically reply, "I don't want to fit in".
97. When together you can look up at a taxidermy whale displayed in a museum and discuss his "private parts"
98. When after running off, leaving you only the 'Dear Danno" note of non-explanation, you still welcome him home with a big, heartfelt bro-hug
99. When you get this face, you must have done something right
100. When, after the entire police station blows up, you need to do a shoulder pat to make sure the guy is okay.
101. When some old, grizzled, retired cop from NYC offers to be your "marriage counselor"....
And then makes you participate in a therapeutic group hug
102. When, after a suspect lands in the water, you pass him your gun.....
remove your vest and promptly dive off the pier
And then you get the "so you really do know how to swim" face
When he gives you a hug just when you need it most
And in the real world.....
1. When he makes sure you look good at the 2010 CBS Upfronts
2. And then at the Upfronts in 2011, he practically sits in your lap
3. When he's there with his cell phone ready to snap a pic of you while you blow dry your hair
4. When he keeps a pic of the 2 of you on his cell
Close up of cell phone
5. When, he tells you not to worry, that no one is laughing at you for wearing a tie and dress shoes to the beach
6. When you have the guts to skip down the beach holding hands at the end of the gag reel on the S1 DVD
7. When, in the very first table read of the pilot script, the carguments crack you up
8. When interviewed before the S1 premiere and you both can bust on the show and each other.
Interviewer asks: "Will there be romance on the show?"
Alex points to himself and Scott and says: "We find love, but it's kind of platonic....kind of special love. Man love, bromance style. Do you find love Scott??"
Scott answers: "I always find love."
Alex responds: "He does."
Scott: "Where ever I go, I find some love."
9. When, even in candid photos, he gets all up in your personal space
10. When you can both put on the most amazing and convincing fake smiles when faced with endless publicity interviews
11. When he helps you go board shopping since he knows much more about surfing than you do.
And the guy who's helping you pick out the board is actually a villain from S1 - anyone remember Emile Ochoa, the nicely dressed drug lord from ep 1.08?
12. When the difference between 'acting' like friends on the show and really 'being' friends is almost impossible to distinguish.....
whether on the set...
or after shooting the S2 season finale...
or away from the set entirely
13. When waiting for the next shot to be set up, you can just laugh....
and chat....
and chill together....
14. When filming the pilot, you decide immediately that this guy is cool and you'll get along just fine
15. When during summer hiatus, you both decide to go with the bearded look.
16. When he gets all up in your face with the cell phone picture taking, and you don't swat him away
17. When, at the TCA Press Tour in LA you can just be silly with your friend and co-star
18. When giving a mock interview at the TCAs, you hold him in a vice grip with both arms, until he asks, "Why are you holding me?"
And when he let's you spend time with his dog
That's my little scrap book.
