There's one thing we know for sure about 2016: despite the fact that almost everything was a raging dumpster fire, at least we had good TV. This year yielded some truly stellar TV shows, and with that kind of quality, you can bet your ass there's going to be plenty of shirtlessness, more than a fair share of hot kissing scenes, and nudity. Yes, nudity! To celebrate the NSFW side of this year's hottest TV shows, we've rounded up a perky selection of butts that we simply couldn't help but appreciate.
Even though we only caught a brief glimpse of that sweet This Is Us booty, it was still enough to make us enthusiastically tune in for the pilot episode.
You know what's better than Sam Heughan's butt? Sam Heughan's butt splashing around in a river.
I mean, come on. Even though Jon Snow's butt was technically dead for a few days, it still managed to look great.
Although it's only a side butt at best, it's James Marsden's side butt. We trust you understand why that bears including.
We may be conflicted about the ending of The OA, but there's one thing we're definitely not conflicted about: the gratuitous butt shot in the very first episode.
This butt is so nice, we almost didn't notice that gigantic sharp knife. Almost.
Thandie Newton's booty may be cloaked in shadow, but we can still tell it's a good one.
Tom Hiddleston may have only offered a small peek of his butt during this scene, but we'll take what we can get.
We only get the top half of this butt in this scene, which is terribly unfortunate. But hey, a butt is a butt.
Listen, we know this butt is clothed, but it bears recognition. Like, it's a shelf. Look at it. It's a SHELF. Happy New Year.
