The Story of the 50 follows the series of events that leaves to someone anonymously leaving a fifty dollar bill in the d-bag jar. Schmidt is coming up on his 29th birthday, but plans for his party start to erode. Jess moves in to save him by soliciting help from her school's vice-principal, who, it turns out, is starved for a good party.

The Story of the 50

8.0

By TrueTvWatcher, Jan 20, 2012

The Story of the 50 was a great episode of New Girl and though it wasn't as hilarious as previous episodes it was still enjoyable. It was great to watch Jess plan Schmidt's birthday party. Schmidt's one friend was actually quite a douche-bag and it was great how Winston stood up for Schmidt. I also thought the ordeal with the stripper was funny and it could have been funnier, but at the end of the episode I still was satisfied. I look forward to watching the next episode!!!!!moreless

Not their best episode

5.5

By ChuckBones, Jan 19, 2012

Great show, lousy episode. Kept waiting for something to happen, but it never did. The male stripper had potential but never quite got there. The lawyer with anger management problems was a nice surprise, but didn't fully blossom. Last scene was the best. The rest was very weak. I think the writers, producer & director each need to put $100 into the douche-bag jar.
