Christmas Review #37

The gang goes to Schmidt's holiday office party; Jess frets over an expensive gift from Paul. I thought that this was an excellent Christmas (well, day before Christmas) episode of "New Girl". There were so many funny scenes in this holiday episode but we also see a sad revelation between Jess and Paul. I just hope this isn't the last time we see Paul (Justin Long) though because I really like that character and he definitely is a perfect match with Jess. I felt bad for Jess since Paul broke up with her. But as for the funny scenes... I laughed so hard at the scenes with the guys in their roller skated in the beginning of the episode, Schmidt as Sexy Santa Claus, Jess saying "Are those my shorts?" when she saw Schmidt as Sexy Santa Claus wearing it, Nick's ringtone interrupting the talk between Jess and Paul (the ringtone definitely cracked me up), Nick feeling awkward listening to the Jess/Paul talk, the little boy walking in and screaming after hearing Schmidt say "Santa's dead, it's over, I killed him" when he actually meant that he doesn't want to be the Sexy Santa Claus anymore, and more funny parts. I also enjoyed the ending of the episode. Overall, an excellent Christmas episode of "New Girl". 10/10moreless

Funny episode. Winston and the little kid, soo funny. But why did Paul and Jess break up!!! They were perfect for each other. I'm really going to miss Justin Long, it would be awesome if they could make him a regular. He's such a difference from the other guys and it's funny seeing a guy version of Jess's quirky self. :( I can't believe they broke up, they were perfect for each other!moreless

Injured

By TrueTvWatcher, Dec 14, 2011

Injured was another perfect and entertaining episode of New Girl. I really enjoyed watching this episode because the characters had a lot of growth and development, there were many funny scenes that made me laugh, some truly touching moments, and some sad revelations. I liked when Jess caught the guys wearing her gifts to them, and also when Nick was locked outside with Jess and Paul as they talked about their feelings. This episode was a delight and makes me look forward to watching the next episode!!!!!!!!!moreless

- Kim: Does that mean no more Sexy Easter Bunny?
  Schmidt: No more Sexy Easter Bunny.
  Kim: What about, uh, Cinco de Sexy?
  Schmidt: No Cinco de Sexy.
  Kim: And no Sexy Martin Luther King?
  Schmidt: I could never get the voice. I never really felt like I had the authority...
  EDIT SHARE
- Cece: (about her present from Schmidt) It's perfume. Why does it say "Cecilia Number 5"?
  Schmidt: Actually, it says that, because, you know, I made it specifically for you. Yeah, I found this place on Third Street where you can design your own perfume. Base notes of cocoa because of your brown, uh, ness. Sea salt because it kind of sounds like Cece. Uh, and sandalwood. Sandalwood--always up to no good.
