Law & Order: OC Star Meloni Happy Being The Butt of Tweet Jokes

Two episodes in and it looks like the "Law & Order" universe is very, very happy to welcome back Christopher Meloni and his Elliot Stabler back into the fold- first with his reunion with Mariska Hargitay's Olivia Benson on SVU and then with his debut on his new Dick Wolf-produced spinoff series, Law & Order: Organized Crime. There's a number of reasons why the return's working so far, from the audience longing for Meloni's return to a role they loved him in for years, to the impressive supporting cast (like Dylan McDermott and Danielle Moné Truitt), to the multi-episode and season-long story format. But one reason, in particular, seems to be picking up traction on social media: Meloni's ass. Yup, that's right- Stabler's backside is developing a fanbase of its own…and we understand why. It's impressive, even more so than in Happy!. But what's even more impressive? Meloni's willingness to dive cheeks-deep into the joke and be a part of it- as he did when he chose to respond to some seriously thirsty tweets- like the one we're kicking things off with below (full image here):

And then we have Meloni offering instructions on proper usage of his butt in case of emergencies:

And Meloni won't shy away from the hard-hitting questions, either:

And if that means heading into "pun territory" then that's what's Meloni's willing to do:

Now here's a look at the rest of Meloni as well as the rest of Law & Order: Organized Crime team in a preview for this week's episode "Say Hello to My Little Friends":

Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 1, Episode 3 "Say Hello to My Little Friends": Stabler and Bell team up to investigate a major lead. Wheatley makes moves to elevate his business.

Law & Order: Organized Crime features Meloni returning to his Law & Order: SVU role as Elliot Stabler, rejoining the NYPD to battle organized crime after a devastating personal loss. However, the city and police department have changed dramatically in the decade he's been away, and he must adapt to a criminal justice system in the midst of its own moment of reckoning. Throughout the series, viewers follow Stabler's journey to find absolution and rebuild his life, while leading a new elite task force that is taking apart the city's most powerful criminal syndicates one by one.
