The formula for this episode of New Girl is a tried and true one — a “the end is the beginning” series of chopped up chronological segments leading to the final moment where Schmidt finds himself stuffing a $50 dollar bill into the Douchebag Jar. (Woot! The return of the Douchebag Jar! Everyone should have a douchebag jar!)
And that reason? Rather a disappointing one, wasn’t it? I mean, yeah … attempting to kiss Jess was a major mistake, but it wasn’t worth a $50.00 violation in light of all the other douchey exclamations he made throughout the episode.
But the 22 minutes itself was anything but disappointing. And really, there’s nothing I can write that’s going to compare with some of the hilarious quotations that came out of “The Story Of The 50″ … is there?
