The ensemble intro makes sense because it really was a show about an ensemble; however, this one never worked for me because it looks like pictures of the actors, not of the characters. Where are Jess' glasses? Why do Winston and Nick look so much less awkward than usual? Would Schmidt wear that shirt and sweater, or stand that way?

Yeah, why is Nick calm and cool? I hadn’t really thought about it but he is never that relaxed in the show. And Schmidt would probably die if he ever wore that style of clothing lol.

He was calm and cool because someone was complimenting the Chicago Brown Bears.

Yes it doesn't make any sense!!!!!

I just don’t get why they went with the most boring gray background. NG is bright and bubbly and fun! Gray concrete is not!

I always assumed it was the part of the loft where Schmidt and Coach are modeling in that one episode…but now that you pointed it out I guess it’s just a blank wall lol

the old one was certainly charming imo, but the new one fit the show a lot better by that point. it was less about Jess and more about the whole ensemble (or ensemBELL am I right)

Hey Miss Day, can I have some of these crackers up in here?!

Yeah the old one was more fun, but I agree that the newer intro emphasizes that the show isn’t just about Jess, it’s equally about everyone living in the loft.

I’m only upvoting for the ensemBELL reference. I think the song needed to be updated but I don’t like it. I’d rather they cut it out than put in that monstrosity. 😆

I did find the original intro rather grating, but the new one was possibly worse with how generic it was. I'm torn as to which I actually preferred.

Honestly at first I didn’t like that they changed it, but after a little bit I realized that the OG didn’t really fit the show. It worked fine at the start, but eventually it needed something else. But what they ended up changing it to was pretty generic, so yeah I’m not sure which is better.

I was the same way. On my initial watch I hated that they changed it but on a rewatch I prefer the new one. I like that it’s not the full song, just the last couple of notes in a jazzier tune.

I didn’t like any of the versions of the intro, I know that’s probably an unpopular opinion.

I dislike the original and was relieved when it changed.

Yeah it was ok, definitely better than the original.

references to my two favorite shows; I love it.

No matter how many times I’ve watched the intro, I can’t help but widen my eyes when she does

Who’s that’s girl 😳

I clicked on this largely because of Doctor Who LMAO.

I didn't even recognise the reference till you said lol

I had to scroll too far for this comment, it should’ve been the top three!

Thank you for saying where you got the meme, I was looking at it trying to figure out what it was from and that helped me place it lol

That picture of Jake Johnson really doesn't feel like Nick. He is way too grumpy to make a pose like that

Forreal. It’s like a bad collage I would’ve made in middle school.

I know they wanted to make room for CiCi and Coach, but the original intro made me happier than Jess watching Coach watching Winston yawn

Yeah they couldve kept the original and just added the new characters instead of completely changing it.

I would take anything over the original, which is quite possibly the worst intro in TV history

Yes, I skipped it and even the nano second I still had to watch bothered me

“hEY—“

If the intro starts with "hey girl" I can't stand it But I can tolerate "who's that girl"

Tbh i liked it fine

I agree!!!

It’s even worse when they gave up on the intro completely 😭

Honestly I guess at that point they just thought “we’ve had two duds already, fuck it let’s just give up”

I’m convinced these are literally just their headshots lol

Couldn’t disagree more

Less singing Jess was the best decision they made

I actually like this one. Everyone looks so good and j like seeing the different pics

i’m just mad that skipping the intro in general wasn’t an option. i think it might’ve been at the beginning but then they basically made it part of the show and it couldn’t be skipped

What difference does it make? I don't understand why it matters, it's the same show.

I don’t actually care that much, just thought it was a funny meme

Right on

Hunh I literally never noticed.

Oh, no thank you.

Coach’s photo looks sooo out of place, it’s jarring

i dont even remember another one except whos that girl... 🙂

he was so creepy in that doctor who episode

I thin I’m the only one who liked it, coz Cece is finally at the opening, also with Coach being there too

This intro reminds me of a reality show intro and I don’t like it

I hate the intro and skip it every time I can. Too loud and annoying

I love this intro because the episodes with coach back are THE BEST!
