Forget Chivalry, It’s Rat Boy Summer! Hoda and Jenna Discuss the Newest Dating Trend

Move over Mr. Darcy, there’s a new kind of romantic hero in town, and he might have whiskers. Yes, you read that right, the internet has declared this “Rat Boy Summer,” and Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager on the Today show are here to unpack this, ahem, interesting phenomenon.

It all started with the movie “Challengers” and its leading men, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist. Apparently, the internet found their brand of unconventional handsomeness, well, rodent-like. Comparisons flew, with O’Connor likened to the posh Roddy St. James from “Flushed Away,” and Faist channeling the sweater-clad charm of Stuart Little.

Rat Boy Summer

Now, before you grab your cheese and retreat to your burrow, there’s more to this story than just cartoon comparisons. Hoda and Jenna delve into the traits that define these “rat boyfriends.” Think Kieran Culkin levels of quirky good looks, guys who reject toxic masculinity, and aren’t afraid of a grand, public display of affection.

Hoda and Jenna, ever the professionals, clarify that they might not personally see the resemblance between the actors and their animated counterparts. But Jenna, ever the trendsetter, throws out a surprising endorsement: “You should want to date Stuart Little.”

Hoda, bless her heart, seems momentarily stunned into silence. But Jenna makes a compelling case. Stuart Little had a car (a very nice car!), a knack for dressing well, and came from a loving family. When you stack that up against some boyfriends out there, maybe Stuart isn’t such a bad catch after all.

So, is this the dawn of a new era in dating? Will we all be lining up to cuddle with our own miniature Romeos? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure, Hoda and Jenna made a pretty entertaining case for giving these “rat boyfriends” a chance. Who knows, maybe you’ll find your own happily ever after, complete with a tiny car and a suspiciously large wardrobe.
