Chris Meloni’s tush is making waves online…again

Law and Order: SVU star Christopher Meloni is never exactly far from our minds. With a tush like that, how could he be?

We’ve spoken before about Meloni’s glorious butt, and because it’s the gift that keeps on giving, there’s always ample opportunity to talk about it more.

As new generations discover the butt that launched a thousand ships, we’re happy to join on the enthusiasm. Recently, one user came upon the famous, much-memed cake shot in the wild (Season 5, Episode 5, “Serendipity”) and felt the need to praise it to the skies. Understandable, and indeed an entire mood!

Some commenters pointed out that it’s common practice to use a butt double—but we’re confident in saying that Meloni’s butt just looks like that. Some men are blessed, and Meloni is onesuch man.

Not only that, but he’s been showing up for us for decades. That butt has truly put in its time.

We don’t even care what his character is meant to be doing at this point—whether drowning a man or saving him, we’re rooting for that tush.

Just a humble reminder that it’s never the wrong time to revisit this fantastic moment in television history. That is all!
