It's 2018, which means we're almost through with the decade of the nerds. After this, it'll be the decade of the robots, but nerds still have another two years to shine. Until all your current friends are swapped with newer, better robot friends, and your neurons are monitored to censor all thoughts regarding TV/movie nerd babes, we can at least have a rating game while we're still able to.
Nerds have been mainstream for a few years now, but you might have been living the geek life way before it became cool. Maybe you were trading Yu-Gi-Oh cards before they were worth anything on Youtube. Maybe you've been playing D&D since the 90's. If that's the case, you might have known about (and rated) the following geeks long before this quiz was even conceived.
Or maybe you're a bandwagoner, and you only started liking nerdy girls when it became cool. Whichever camp you happen to find yourself in, you can bet on one thing: we have looked into the depths of your heart and have seen your secret nerd crush. We just don't know who that is yet. However, we sure will after we get your ratings on these geeks.
Alison Brie as Annie Edison (Community)
Annie Edison from Community has shown up early to class as always and is ready to get this quiz rolling. What do you think about the lovely Alison Brie? Tell us, and we'll see if we can guess your secret nerd crush.
Alyson Hannigan as Willow Rosenberg (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
In our view, the best way we can follow up one Alison is with another. Except here, we have Alyson Hannigan playing Willow Rosenberg in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So, how do you rate the lovely Ms. Hannigan as Buffy's right hand gal?
Ariel Winter as Alex Dunphy (Modern Family)
Is Ariel Winter the nerd of your dreams? The competition is fierce - there are plenty of other worthy geeks on this list. If you're a fan of Modern Family, then Alex Dunphy might be high in your favor. Maybe she's your secret nerd crush.
Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully (X-Files)
Back when you were watching the X-Files, were you doing that because of the deep, supernatural mysteries being unraveled, or were you just fancying Detective Scully? Come on, you can be honest with us. How would you rate Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully?
Emily Bett Rickards as Felicity Smoak (Arrow)
If there's one thing we know for sure about the Arrow-verse, it's that Felicity Smoak is Smoak-ing hot. Yeah, you read us right. Amid the series of arrows being shot in the Arrow series, can you tear your gaze off of Felicity?
Lea Michele as Rachel Berry (Glee)
We've heard a lot about the acclaimed series glee. Some of what we heard was good, other things were weird. Throughout it all, we've heard that Lea Michele plays a mean Rachel Berry. How would you rate this nerd from Glee?
Sandra Bullock as Angela Bennett (The Net)
The acclaimed series The Net stars Sandra Bullock, timeless leading lady, in a modern role. Throughout the network of the watching experience that The Net offers, you've no doubt found yourself entranced by Sandra's dark, magical gaze. Or have you?
Lisa Weil as Paris Geller (Gilmore Girls)
Have you ever seen the TV series Gilmore Girls? It's a timeless prime time classic, so it's likely that you have. Throughout the progression of the show, we've seen countless ups and downs, and we've also seen Lisa Weil as Paris Geller. How would you rate this geek?
Felicia Day as Charlie Bradbury (Supernatural)
In these modern, nerdy times, Felicia Day's role as Charlie Bradbury in the TV series Supernatural is held up on a royal pedestal. If you're into the nerd side of pop culture, you've no doubt run into this character. How would you rate her?
Zooey Deschanel as Jessica Day (New Girl)
Zooey Deschanel has had a super successful career in Hollywood thus far, and now seems like the right time for her to be a TV star in the series New Girl. She plays a lovely nerd in Jessica Day. At least, we think so.
Tina Fey as Liz Lemon (30 Rock)
Everyone knows and loves Tina Fey for the work she did on Saturday Night Live years back, and her other TV endeavors as well as her efforts on-screen have been equally lauded. If you've seen 30 Rock, you'll recognize her in her geeky Liz Lemon character.
Elizabeth Berkley as Jessie Spano (Saved by the Bell)
Saved by the Bell was a classic sitcom that defined the early 90's. Indeed, the stories it enacted defined the experience of countless teenagers and kids watching it. If you remember the show, you'll definitely remember Elizabeth Berkley as Jessie Spano.
Linda Cardellini as Lindsay Weir (Freaks and Geeks)
Linda Cardellini played Lindsay Weir in the epic 90s classic, Freaks and Geeks. You've surely heard of this show starring current comedy legends Seth Rogen, James Franco and others. We've all had a crush on Linda at one point or another.
Zosia Mamet as Shoshanna Shapiro (Girls)
There are plenty of girls to fawn over in the hit TV series Girls on HBO, just as the title might suggest. However, in terms of nerds that come to mind, we definitely have to go with Zosia Mamet as Shoshanna Shapiro.
Laura Dern as Ellie Sattler (Jurassic Park)
Here's a nostalgic nerd feature: Laura Dern in her key role as Ellie Sattler in Jurassic Park. We've all seen how adept Ellie was at surviving a dinosaur breakout, but let's not forget her pivotal work in the field of archaeology.
Jenna Fischer as Pam Beesly (The Office)
What would this quiz be without an appearance from everyone's favorite mouse-like Geek, Pam Beasley from the Office. Her presence as receptionist in the show helped make that office what it was, as of course did the dynamic between Jim and Pam.
Shelley Long as Diane Chambers (Cheers)
Let's have a vintage feature here, for old times' sake. Shelley Long has been eternalized for her nerdy role as Diane Chambers in the classic TV series Cheers. Maybe you haven't seen the show before, but here's Diane - what do you think?
America Ferrera as Betty Suarez (Ugly Betty)
This show might be called Ugly Betty, but America Ferrera doesn't look like she matches the adjective in front of her name. Do you just go with the crowd, or do you think outside of the box? Do you think Ugly Betty is attractive?
Rashida Jones as Karen Filippelli (The Office)
Rashida Jones might not have looked like much of a nerd when she played Karen Filippelli in The Office, but she had her own Call of Duty tag: karenthejimslayer. That makes her a geek in our books - what do you think?
Mayim Bialik as Amy Farrah Fowler (Big Bang Theory)
Some say that Big Bang Theory is the epitome of TV nerd-dom, others say that Community fills that role. Regardless, both shows have a serious display of nerds, and Amy Farrah Fowler is featured here on the Big Bang Theory side.
Kristen Bell as Veronica Mars (Veronica Mars)
Kristen Bell has a great film career going with films like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, though she might best be known for her awesome job in portraying Veronica Mars in the TV series titled after her character. How do you rate Veronica?
Brea Grant as Ryan Chambers (Dexter)
Dexter is a sadistic show, which is something you know full well if you've watched it. As a form of light relief, Brea Grant plays a great nerd in Ryan Chambers. Amid the death and destruction in the show, what do you think about Ryan?
Melissa Rauch as Bernadette Rostenkowski (Big Bang Theory)
Here's another feature from Big Bang Theory - this one's Bernadette Rostenkowski as played by Melissa Raunch. In terms of small-screen babes, she's been the yang to Kaley Cuoco's yin for some time now. What do you think about this geek?
Mary Lynn Rajskub as Chloe O'Brian (24)
Do you remember, some years ago, when Jack Bauer was king of television? Of course, he couldn't have done that by himself - he needed some assistance from geek Chloe O'Brian, as played by Mary Lynn Rajskub. Let's see how you rate her.
Amy Acker as Winifred Burkle (Angel)
Angel picked up where Buffy the Vampire Slayer left off - depending on who you ask, that is. Regardless of your opinion on the show, we're sure that you'll approve of Amy Acker's nerdy performance as Winifred Burkle. What do you think?
Rachael Leigh Cook as Laney Boggs (She's All That)
She's All That closed off the 90s as a great romantic comedy. If you remember it, you'll remember Rachel Leigh Cook's great performance as Laney Boggs. We're almost nearing the end of this quiz - let's see if we can guess your secret nerd crush.
Natalie Morales as Wendy Watson (The Middleman)
In The Middleman, Natalie Morales plays the potential object of your nerdy affection, Wendy Watson. We think she does a great job in the role, but this quiz isn't about us - we're curious to know what you think. How do you rate Wendy Watson.
Emily Deschanel as Temperance Brennan (Bones)
Bones is a great show - if you haven't seen it, you should. There's a good plot in it, and there's also Emily Deschanel playing the lovely Temperance Brennan. This geek has come through time and time again on the show, but does she come through for you?
Amanda Seyfried as Anita Lesnicki (Jennifer's Body)
Remember when Amanda Seyfried played one of the very un-nerdy mean girls in the film Mean Girls? She reversed that role when she was featured as Anita Lesnicki in Jennifer's Body. If you managed to take your eyes away from Megan Fox, what did you think of Amanda?
Renee Felice Smith as Nell Jones (NCIS: Los Angeles)
There are a lot of mysteries featured in NCIS: Los Angeles, but do you know what isn't a mystery? Whether Renee Felice Smith plays a smoking hot Neil Jones. At least, that isn't a mystery for us. What do you think?
Deborah Ann Woll as Jessica Hambly (True Blood)
What's better than a hot nerd on the small screen? A hot nerd turned vampire on the small screen, of course. That's exactly what we've seen with Deborah Ann Woll as Jessica Hambly - spoiler alert. Maybe we should have said that first.
Linda Cardellini as Velma (Scooby Doo)
Linda Cardellini is coming in with a second appearance in this quiz - this time, she's featured as Velma from Scooby Doo. This nerd is adept at solving scary mysteries, but she's also adept at being your secret nerd crush - potentially.
Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope (Parks & Recreation)
Amy Poehler always tries to get things done in the show Parks & Recreation, and sometimes she succeeds. But, the question is whether she succeeds in winning your heart. This is one of the final tests - soon we'll reveal your secret nerd crush.
Ashley Rickards as Jenna Hamilton (Awkward)
If you've seen the MTV series Awkward (which, as it turned out, happened to feature a series of awkward situations), you'll definitely remember Ashley Rickards as Jenna Hamilton. Rate this nerd, and we'll see if we can guess that secret nerd crush of yours.
Kaylee Frye as Jewel Staite (Firefly)
Kaylee Frye did a fantastic job of portraying Jewel Staite in the cult sci fi show Firefly. If you’re a fan of this acclaimed series, you’ll definitely remember her fiery, out of this world performance. What rating would you give her here?
