You know what? There are a lot of other choices one could make, and I’m not even sure who I would choose for such an “honor” (Karen Gillan? Sarah Rafferty? Christina Hendricks? What? I like redheads), but I can’t complain with the choice of Elisha Cuthbert, who fits the magazine’s demo, and belongs to a hilarious television show, Happy Endings, that could use all the promotion it can get. Would it have been better if she, Casey Wilson, and Eliza Coupe were ALL given the honor and featured in a Alison Brie/Gilian Jacobs style threesome pillow fight? Sure. But we take what we can get.
Cuthbert, naturally, was “thrilled,” when asked by US Magazine about the award.
“To think that one person could be the most beautiful when there’s Kaley Cuoco, Sofia Vergara, Zooey Deschanel? They’re all stunning,” says Cuthbert, who has appeared on Maxim’s cover three times before. “I’m not gonna fight anyone about it, though. I’ll accept it with grace. But being on a show with two other beautiful women [Casey Wilson and Eliza Coupe], this is gonna make going to work very uncomfortable. I don’t know, this might be a curse.”
Alright, alright. Let’s skip to the cover already.
A one piece? Well, that’s novel. Now, where’s our GIF-appropriate reaction?
Nope, nope: Definitely going to need another GIF to properly celebrate this occasion.
One more? Sure!
Now let’s wash it all down with some ribs.
You’re welcome.

I was 99% when clicking on the link it would be Sofia Vergara or Julie Bowen
I love that tiny psycho.
I’d pick all 3 hotties from Happy Endings over Zooey anyday.
The ribs gif will never get old.
If she did a GQ shoot with her female costars, Happy Endings would get a 4th season. Now somebody needs to convince her what I just wrote is true.
Today is my favorite day ever.
My penis approves
What guys want: Jimmy Fallon, Guy Fieri and a dead Michael Jackson bit.
SUH KYUTE!
Is it weird that the gif that turns me on the most is the last one?
No, ribs are awesome.
Ribs being awesome notwithstanding, yes.
It’s weird that we have the same turn ons.
It would be weird if it didn’t.
Maxim’s still around?
Yeah…she’s hot. Did Alison Brie get 2nd?
Maybe 2nd most beautiful on Community.
After Joel?
It’s a pretty solid pick.
“Whatever. She’ll always be second to me.”

Watch Shameless, then watch as Emmy Rossum climbs this list. She’s so cute and innocent that I just love her whorish nature and constant nudity on that show.
she ok, but in a dirty poor girl kinda way. her “woe is me” face is getting really old really quick to me. its like a mix of surprised but depressed, with a hint of i need to wash my face one day
Ugh, Maxim does it again. I’ve seen her without 4 hours of hair and makeup, so I do not agree with this whatsoever. How about Rashida Jones or Aubrey Plaza?
“2/10, would not bang. I prefer the sarcastic girl who smirks all the time.”
way to go
God I fell in love with Elisha Cuthbert when she was Jack Bauer’s daughter on 24. Its cool, I think she was 18 then… and if she wasn’t I don’t care.
/no shame
she looks like Zac Efron in the cover photo
oh, fuck you
Reaction from everyone in Toronto:
“At least Phaneuf can do something right.”
I went to high school with that girl (also Taco from the league). Even back then you could tell.
You know all the best Canadians! Yeah well I once saw Liberty from Degrassi TNG, so…
well I once farted in an elevator with Janeane Garofalo.
@poonTASTIC: That sounds like perfectly acceptable defensive cover. Garofalo has always looked like she smells like a mix of sweat, patchouli, and “not as funny or as smart as she thinks she is.”
Lord……great photo of her on the cover. She’s so funny on the show, you almost forget how hot she is…..”almost”, mind you.
She’s a modern day Marilyn Monroe.
By that I mean a gorgeous jock sniffing slut.
On a related note, Lena Dunham is on the cover of Rolling Stone, which called Girls the best show on TV.
It’s funny how Rolling Stone still thinks they’re relevant.
It’s funny how you say that on a Maxim thread.
Eliza Coupe or Katrina Bowden.
I’ll take Bowden.
Elisha would’ve made more sense as a pick like 8 years ago around 24 season 2 and Girl Next Door, but I think we can all agree these kind of rankings have pretty much always been bs.
Beautiful women eating ribs is a thing I can get into.
enjoy that tasty cheesecake while you can – the ABC Tuesday comedy block has been officially euthanized. [bit.ly]
