Before The Big Bang Theory and the new wave of “Geek Chic,” there was another comic-book reading, indie-music-loving, adorable nerd who lived in Newport Beach. Seth Cohen brought sarcasm, humor and hilarious one-liners to the hit show The O.C. during its four season run. Adam Brody was rumored to have improvised many of his lines and whether scripted or off the cuff, he definitely had audiences in stitches every single episode. Here are 18 of Seth Cohen’s more memorable quotes from the show’s first season.
