While New Girl has been around for a while, it is still just as popular for its comedy, relatable characters, and funny storylines. One of the most memorable aspects of the show is the quotes the characters share. From Jess's creative way of seeing the world to Nick's relatable words of wisdom, fans still quote these lines to this day. However, there are underrated quotes that are forgotten but should be brought back to light.
There are numerous quotes that fans cherish, but here are some relatable and surprising lines that they may have forgotten.
"I Like Getting Older. I Feel Like I'm Finally Aging Into My Personality." -Nick
Nick always comes up with jokes on the spot, and while it may not be everyone's type of humor, he definitely stays true to himself.
Nick's wise but witty sensibility is one of his key character traits, along with being known as a grumpy guy in an older man's body, which is what makes this quote perfect. Without the encouragement from his roommates and friends, Nick would gladly stay at home all day and not busy himself. Nick accepts the fact that he tends to take on the personality of an older person, but he still makes a sarcastic joke about it and takes on the jokes lightheartedly.
"Can We Just Take A Minute To Celebrate Me?" -Schmidt
Schmidt is caught not telling Jess the truth about hooking up with Cece, but he eventually comes clean to her. While he should be treading carefully, Schmidt cannot help but ask to be celebrated. Maybe it is the way he needs to have control over situations, or maybe he just has a tough time making important decisions, but this quote out of context is humorous.
Fans can recognize that Schmidt is truly one of the funniest characters, even if he makes poor decisions sometimes.
"Can I Interest You In Some White Noise?" -Winston
Winston is compassionate, loyal, and an overall prankster. While he may lack some self-confidence that others have, he is always there to help his friends and give them advice.
While talking to Nick, Winston offers him some white noise, which may not be the most common thing to offer, but the suggestion has a good mix of weird and helpful that fits Winston's personality. Winston is also fairly even-tempered, and the white noise suggestion fits him well, especially around his friends who have large personalities.
"It Really Bums Me Out That I Will Never Know The Infinite Joy Of What It Feels Like To Carry A Child Inside Of Me." -Coach
While Coach left after the first episode of the season, his return in season 3 was welcomed by fans. Coach is strong and assertive but sometimes comes off as arrogant.
Nonetheless, he is still a humorous person in the show and has had some interesting quotes. While he considers himself a ladies' man, sometimes he says something like this that has fans questioning his statement, but laughing nonetheless.
"Nick Doesn't Have A Life Plan. He Doesn't Have A Day Plan. I Once Found A Note That He Wrote To Himself That Said, 'Put On Pants.'" -Jess
Jess is spot on with this description of Nick. While he is only a bartender, there are still moments where he does not know what to do with his life and find his way. Apparently, he struggles with knowing what to do day to day. Some find this surprising, since Nick tends to be anxious and alert about plenty of situations, but the note to himself to put on pants also fits his character well.
Even though they are very different, Nick and Jess are a good match and they know one another well.
"Picking Lint Off A Man's Sleeve Is The Most Intimate Gesture." -Cece
Cece has had her fair share of relationships, so this quote may come as a surprise as her idea of the most intimate gesture. However, she is not wrong.
Cece is the one who usually gives good dating advice to her friends. She is also blunt, but still caring and wants what is best for others. This quote from her may seem silly, but the gesture is nice, and coming from Cece, it makes sense. Cece's humor is underrated, but she still has some memorable quotes.
"If You Were A Hat, You'd Be A Top Hat. But Like A Really Big Monopoly One. And I Say That With Deepest Compliments." -Nick
Nick's compliments may seem odd, but it makes it all the more heartwarming coming from him. Comparing someone to a hat in the Monopoly game may not seem so romantic, but from Nick, it's saying a lot.
He is an awkward person who doesn't always have the right words, but they are heartfelt. Plus, while he tries to give good compliments, Nick is always accidentally funny.
"The Economy Stinks, Bees Are Dying, And Movies Are Pretty Much All Sequels Now." -Schmidt
Schmidt is known for getting worked up in simple situations but his reactions are the most memorable. Schmidt starts off with something serious, like the economy, but then it ends with a joke about making movies into sequels. This joke at the end is classic Schmidt behavior.
While he tends to take things seriously and to heart, and even get over-emotional about a lot of events, viewers can't help but feel fondly towards him.
"We Are Literally The Most Embarrassing People On The Planet." -Jess
Jess and her roommates are an odd but relatable bunch, and this line hit home for a lot of viewers. While they may do embarrassing things and get caught up in awkward situations, it makes the show entertaining and the characters endearing to see.
Each character brings something new to the table, but all of their characteristics mesh, and pure friendships form. So, yes, while they may be embarrassing, they are true to themselves, which is what makes the show so successful.
"So, I've Decided To Give Up On Women And Put All That Energy Into Tomatoes" -Nick
Nick seems to be over dating and getting into relationships, and he is found turning his passion into gardening. While Nick tends to enter situations in a pessimistic way, his decision to push away any sort of dating and pursue a mini tomato farm is something only Nick would set his mind to do.
While Nick picks up new passions all the time, this one doesn't last long. The planting ultimately fails, but it's the thought that counts.
