Jess tries to teach Nick to stop seeing the worst in everybody

9.5

By tigerdude22, Apr 22, 2012

Jess wants to befriend the landlord in an attempt to teach Nick to stop seeing the worst in everybody. I thought that this was an excellent episode of "New Girl". The storyline was definitely entertaining and very well written plus tremendous execution with magnificent humor to crack you up. A lot of parts in this episode really made me laugh but my favorite part about this episode is definitely Jess trying to teach Nick a lesson about now to be seeing the worst in everybody and just see the positive things by being friendly with them. Jess being friendly to that guy driving the truck in the very beginning of the episode and that guy responding back with kindness was hilarious as well especially Nick's reaction when he yelled at the guy and that guy pulled out a gun at the very beginning of the episode. I also loved seeing Jess being friends with the landlord as well. My score is just a tad low because a couple of parts could've been a tad better but this episode could've used a little more Winston. Overall, an excellent episode of "New Girl"... you gotta watch this one. 9.5/10moreless

The Landlord

10

By TrueTvWatcher, Feb 09, 2012

The Landlord was a perfect and hilarious episode of New Girl and I really enjoyed watching because the story of what all happened was great, the flash backs were funny, and the crazy circumstances keep the laughs rolling. It was great to Jess and Nick arguing over the way they handle things and how obvious it's becoming that Nick is really into Jess. Dinner with the Landlord was funny, and the ending with Schmidt was priceless. I look forward to watching the next episode!!!!!!!!!moreless

Awkwardness at it's best!

8.5

By Danimita, Feb 09, 2012

New Girl somehow manages to make "awkward humour" work for me. I don't know how, but the show makes me covering my eyes and shouting at the TV while laughing out loud at very well placed jokes. Great characters, great storylines (even if it's just because of the situations they lead to) and a great show all in all. And this episode is one of it's best episodes up until now!moreless

Now THAT is why I watch this show

10

By ChuckBones, Feb 08, 2012

I'd give this episode an 11 if I could. Too crazy. The only thing missing was Jess stuffing the douche-bag jar full of cash for trying to call Nick's bluff & failing.

- Schmidt: (about his New Year's resolutions) I was very young. And drunk.
  Winston: Were you too drunk to (reading) "begin the search for the cocoon that will one day release your butterfly"?
  Cece: No, it does not say that one!
  Nick: That's number three!
  Schmidt: Why are you doing this to me?
  Winston: Maybe I just got bored painting your interplanetary ass dojo. This is my favorite: "find out where Winston gets his sparkle, and then steal it."

- Nick: (about the landlord) That man wants to sleep with you.
  Jess: No, he doesn't. He was just showing me how to close the closet.
  Nick: Okay, anytime a man shows a woman how to do something from behind, it's just an excuse for him to get really close and breathe on her neck. Watch any sports movie.
  EDIT SHARE
- Jess: I just want to apologize on behalf of all of us for lying to you about how many people live here.
  Schmidt: Stop reminding him.
  Jess: But while you're up here, might as well just fix a few things. Please...Remy?
  Remy: How did you know my name?! Did they call you?
  Jess: I saw your tattoo that says, "Hello, my name is Remy," and I just...I took a leap of faith.
