Adam Brody Has Never Been Hotter Than He Is in Nobody Wants This. Let's Discuss

If you drank all 10 episodes Nobody wants this this weekend and then texted your best friend/sister/therapist “Adam Brody is so hot,” you’re not alone.

Thanks to Adam Brody’s unique blend of cute and sexy (we call it “swexy”) and his role as a Jewish heartthrob on the Netflix show, the Internet is experiencing the fall of the “Hot Rabbi.”

As longtime members of the Adam Brody fan club, we’re thrilled to welcome all of these new members (Shalom, and help yourself to the pastries and the buffet). We’ve been buzzing about the actor’s wit since his breakthrough role as Dave Rygalski in season three Gilmore Girls where he made fans swoon when he read the Bible in one night just so he could take Lane Kim to prom. (Meanwhile, my husband still complains about the time I made him try gefilte fish at the family Passover Seder.)

While Lane’s mom finally relented (even Mrs. Kim couldn’t resist a teenager who flosses and never watches more than 30 minutes of TV a night), Dave Rygalski and Lane Kim’s romance was short-lived as he left for college in California and after giving a long-distance relationship a chance, they finally broke up (blame the marriage). Fun fact: Keiko Agena, who played Lane Kim, recently said that she believes her character still thinks about her lovely (yes, we do) ex. That’s the power of Adam Brody, people!

In real life, Adam Brody has moved on to a new show called OC. where he charmed viewers once again, this time as Seth Cohen, another teenage unicorn (Jewicorn?). He was cute, smart (read the right books), had great taste in music (Death Cab For Cutie fans unite), respected his parents, and carried on the tradition of Adam Brody’s characters making grand gestures by standing on a coffee cart to profess his love. Seth Cohen has also done more for interfaith relations than Annie Hall with his creation of Christmas, a fictional holiday that many (including this writer) now celebrate in real life.

Nearly two decades later, we have Seth Cohen, a reboot, in the form of Rabbi Noah in Netflix’s Nobody wants this.

In this show, present-day Adam Brody officially joins Paul Rudd and Joshua Jackson on the Mount Rushmore of actors getting hotter. He has all the accessible charm of his former TV characters, only now with facial hair and hands that make us think he’s a lot better at basketball than Matzoh Ballers would have you believe. Plus, his house looks like a CB2 catalog and he can whip up a delicious (kosher) meal in minutes. This is a man who would never spoil a kugel by putting raisins in it!

But what really got PEOPLE Slack going was the way his character kisses Kristen Bell’s Joanne in episode 2. Once again, he pulls a move that only happens on screen when he asks her to put her ice cream (and her bag! on the sidewalk!) so it can cover her face in a way that makes us want to write Rabbi Noah in bubbles in our notebooks. That kiss was over for Joanne. And all of us.

So raise your kiddush cup to Adam Brody, the muscle man who even managed to knock Blair Waldorf off her feet. L’chaim!

Nobody Wants This, created by Erin Foster, is out now on Netflix.
