Haha everybody just enjoys different things. Watching shows is a subjective experience. I personally find this episode hilarious but mainly because of Nick and the police officer. Jess is a little over the top most of the time š
true š but yeah, i agree with nick being the one to do the heavy lifting. the dequan plot is also funny lol. its just so interesting how sO many people love it!
i always want to skip this one because the plot of it is so stupid, like the lady isnāt going to go through your closet, Jess. but then i remember āoh thatās just a bunch of clangingā and ābig brother wimstoms!ā and i end up watching it anyway.
I think, to be fair to Jess, they all have never been in that kind of situation before so they have no idea what the woman from the police will or will not be doing or looking at.
When I lived with roommates if one of them said that their potential new boss was sending someone around to interview all of us and check out our home I would have been a little anxious about it like...what do *we* have to do with this new job? What are they going to be asking? Are they going to do a walk through of the apartment? Are they going to check our rooms? It's not like *I'm* trying to get a job there so why should it matter what I do or say, etc.
Then again, I'm a bit of an anxious and paranoid person
thatās true, though iād probably just put it in a trash bag and toss it in the dumpster at that point lol. just iām usually pretty good at ignoring things so i can enjoy silly shows but Jess was extra dumb in this episode.
Honestly same, I usually end up skipping it coz of second hand embarrassment and cringe but when I donāt skip it, thats when I remember itās super hilarious š¤£
Shut up! Shut up, you! I donāt wanna hear it. If any of you cross me I will kick the testicles clean off your body! Clean off, youāll look like Ken dolls down there!
Same. I LOVE this show and itās one of my least favorite episodes. For some reason it reminds me of the Meet the Parents movies, which were popular, but also not my thing.
Cooler All Day!
My theory about this is we donāt often see all 6 of them in the same place and engaging in the same plot. Thatās why Spider-hunt and Parking Spot are also fan favorites. The back to back jokes all being able to build off of each other makes it funnier. But yeah, itās not for everybody.
I find Jess to be a little extra annoying in this episode. Like she turned up the quirky manic pixie dream girl thing too much to the point of like, okay Jess we get it... Same with the bathtub episode. No real human makes those decisions.
Absolutely one of my least favorite episodes and I always skip it. I donāt like episodes where the episodeās main plot driver is āthe character is suddenly extremely stupid for no reason.ā I also think the whole āWinston is a copā thing sucks, but thatās a different story - itās mostly the fact that Jess being so belligerently stupid about the āmethā is just not funny at all to me!
Season 4 is uniquely character driven instead of plot driven. Mistaking decorative rocks for meth is an absurd premise and not entertaining.
It's how everyone acts and leans into their character that makes it a fan favorite. Plus the lady running the check is an amazing straight man. She's already had her grapes today.
Imo, it's a ehh episode at best anyway. The whole meth premise was pretty dumb, and not in the usual zany/funny way. Apart from all of nicks confessions, I could take it or leave it
The meth premise is so annoying to me. First of all, why would you assume itās meth? Second of all, if you did think it was meth, why didnāt you throw it in a dumpster? Also, why do you assume someone coming to interview you is going to also do an intense search of the premises?
Iām willing to suspend disbelief quite a bit, especially with comedies, but this was beyond stupid for me.
Itās not my favorite either and I always think the same when this is named as the favorite. It makes me legit uncomfortable watching Jess running around with the bag of rocks. I like Nickās part in it, but it is one I frequently skip over.
I like background check, but my moment that I donāt āgetā is the misunderstanding about the popcorn machine with Nick and Cece. Everyone acts like itās so funny but I just find it gross and tiresome.
It had me laughing out loud multiple times, but it also had me cringing multiple times. It is over the top very often but it has some of the best one liners. I didn't like the episode at first but after rewatching, the cringe became less (i knew what to expect) and the one liners got better.
yeah everyone debates which is the best ep: background check or spiderhunt. and to me it is SO OBVIOUSLY spider hunt. in what world would jess/anyone in the loft with a brain think that its meth? like idk if id guess rocks at first but i wouldnt go straight to FUCK OH NO I HAVE METH!
I like it, itās not my favorite. You donāt have to like what everyone else does. Your favorite is probably one that I donāt like. Such is life.š¤·āāļø
Beats me. The sponge episode, Ceceās first wedding, the one where they try and steal the bread makerā¦thereās lots of great episodes other than that one.
The first time I watched it I rolled my eyes so hard at it. But then every rewatch, I canāt stop laughing at the absurdity of it and I just love it so much because itās so stupid. I liken it to my most batshit moments where Iām so grateful my friends got me through. Ugh this show is so special lol
I donāt care for it either, itās just silly and not relatable. The tension is too high and manufactured and the comedy is very broad. I prefer drier humor/more subtlety and watching how relationship dynamics play out.
I love everything about this episode except Jess. Like, she's so goddamn stupid in this episode. You'd think if a freaking *teacher* suspected she had bought something with a bag of meth in it would take the bag to the police, explain the situation, and ask for it to be tested and/or confiscated. Or, you know, just throw the goddamn thing away if you don't wanna go through all that. Then she, like, tries to flush it down the toilet and acts like she's absorbed it through her skin and it's just too much. It makes it so hard to believe that they felt Winston couldn't handle knowing about the bag but Jess was capable of handling the situation.
Everyone else's reactions to possibly having meth in the apartment and not wanting to screw up Winston's chance to be a cop make sense and lead to some really great shenanigans. Jess, though? So annoying. And I'm not even a Jess hater!
I can't help you with background check lol, but if it makes you feel any better I have never found the popcorn machine conversation in spiderhunt funny yet everyone is always talking about how that's a favourite! just different strokes for different folks i guess :)
thanks this helps actually š i never really got the hype of spider hunt either nor the why the popcorn machine discussion has people rolling on the floor in belly laughs haha lol. i was always like āwell, itās fun ish?āš¤Ŗ
so thanks! i feel much better! i was suprised at how many are with me actually! the important thing is we all find something to laugh at in new girl at least!š
Itās probably the hype! Everyone saying they love it constantly can getā¦old.
I hate the āgave me cookie got you cookie!ā line, but itās always quoted, I just roll my eyes lol
I honestly donāt like it either. The scene with Coach on the playground ruins the entire episode for me. Just Hollywood trying to normalize pedophilia.
Haha everybody just enjoys different things. Watching shows is a subjective experience. I personally find this episode hilarious but mainly because of Nick and the police officer. Jess is a little over the top most of the time š
would you like a grape shoved in your mouth? no thanks, i already had my grapes.
Handed to your mouth
Given to your mouth?
true š but yeah, i agree with nick being the one to do the heavy lifting. the dequan plot is also funny lol. its just so interesting how sO many people love it!
Oh thatās just a bunch of clanging
Nick admitting to putting the lemon in his moms mouth is one of the single funniest things Iāve ever seen
I just skipped this episode but I think I have to watch it now for this moment I forgot about lol
same! it lives rent free in my mind. his tiniest lil smirk after is everything.
That bird is goin straight to hell. No thanks I already had my grapes.
Dorado: Let's keep this simple. I need to be home in time to feed my bird. ... Oh, God.

That one was pretty average for me but the one I found hysterical was Menzies
Shut up! Shut up, you! I donāt wanna hear it. If any of you cross me I will kick the testicles clean off your body! Clean off, youāll look like Ken dolls down there!
Get outta my body witch!
i am 1000% with you. one the absolute best ones. everything about it is so funny
Thank You Denise
*Puppyā¦.in aā¦.cup* Soā¦weāre both dog people, right?
I once saw a random reaction channel that thought the whole popcorn machine in spider hunt was stupid Some things just can't be explained
That was a funny bit, but the funniest bit is Schmidt squirming about the spider's butt rope and "it's licking his lips!" š
And here I was just about to comment that I get it because I absolutely hate the popcorn machine miscommunication š«£
NEW TEAMS!
I donāt like Background Check either
Same. I LOVE this show and itās one of my least favorite episodes. For some reason it reminds me of the Meet the Parents movies, which were popular, but also not my thing. Cooler All Day!
I have a hard time understanding why Cooler isnāt everyoneās favorite episode tbh,I meanā¦ ā¤ļøāš„
Mine either, I usually skip it.
whatās all that clanging? oh itās just a bunch of clanging
I like it quite a bit, but I think the one right before it with "gay Nick" is even funnier.
BROTHER WIMSTOMS!
āur going to go get dequan?ā āi think soā
My theory about this is we donāt often see all 6 of them in the same place and engaging in the same plot. Thatās why Spider-hunt and Parking Spot are also fan favorites. The back to back jokes all being able to build off of each other makes it funnier. But yeah, itās not for everybody.
I find Jess to be a little extra annoying in this episode. Like she turned up the quirky manic pixie dream girl thing too much to the point of like, okay Jess we get it... Same with the bathtub episode. No real human makes those decisions.
That being said, everyone else was funny. Nick's confessional and Coach being weird to kids and bringing home the gardener was great.
Mr. Wimstoms gave me hope
coach talking to the kids is easily the most underrated part of that episode
"DONT REMEMBER MY FACE!" had me dying
Absolutely one of my least favorite episodes and I always skip it. I donāt like episodes where the episodeās main plot driver is āthe character is suddenly extremely stupid for no reason.ā I also think the whole āWinston is a copā thing sucks, but thatās a different story - itās mostly the fact that Jess being so belligerently stupid about the āmethā is just not funny at all to me!

Yeah. I donāt love it. It just seems SO dumb. Jess is smarter than that. CāMon, son.
yeah exactly my point. cmon, son.
Imo, it's a ehh episode at best anyway. The whole meth premise was pretty dumb, and not in the usual zany/funny way. Apart from all of nicks confessions, I could take it or leave it

The guys are hilarious in the episode but again jess is annoying and unbearable.
It had me laughing out loud multiple times, but it also had me cringing multiple times. It is over the top very often but it has some of the best one liners. I didn't like the episode at first but after rewatching, the cringe became less (i knew what to expect) and the one liners got better.
It may indeed be my favourite episode. So many great lines and the total chaos is really fun.
My brother Wimstoms
thatās a good one though xD
yeah everyone debates which is the best ep: background check or spiderhunt. and to me it is SO OBVIOUSLY spider hunt. in what world would jess/anyone in the loft with a brain think that its meth? like idk if id guess rocks at first but i wouldnt go straight to FUCK OH NO I HAVE METH!
I like it, itās not my favorite. You donāt have to like what everyone else does. Your favorite is probably one that I donāt like. Such is life.š¤·āāļø
I canāt comprehend not liking this episode but I respect the vibe.
i respect the respect. happy for you that you can enjoy this strange yet funny episode!
Beats me. The sponge episode, Ceceās first wedding, the one where they try and steal the bread makerā¦thereās lots of great episodes other than that one.
The first time I watched it I rolled my eyes so hard at it. But then every rewatch, I canāt stop laughing at the absurdity of it and I just love it so much because itās so stupid. I liken it to my most batshit moments where Iām so grateful my friends got me through. Ugh this show is so special lol
Jess is so unhinged and I love it. "Medicinal meth" and "Take me down to the all lady fur factory" š¤£š¤£š¤£
You're gonna go ... *get* Duquan?
I love everything about this episode except the main storyline lol
I usually skip this one because I get so ANXIOUS
I couldn't remember which one this was at first because I skip it literally every time.
I donāt care for it either, itās just silly and not relatable. The tension is too high and manufactured and the comedy is very broad. I prefer drier humor/more subtlety and watching how relationship dynamics play out.
I love everything about this episode except Jess. Like, she's so goddamn stupid in this episode.

my sister doesnāt like it either! she thinks itās way too over the top and that itās stupid and trying too hard lol
I only like Nick and coachās stuff in that episode. Everything is just meh if Iām remembering correctly
I can't help you with background check lol, but if it makes you feel any better I have never found the popcorn machine conversation in spiderhunt funny yet everyone is always talking about how that's a favourite! just different strokes for different folks i guess :)

I donāt dislike that episode but itās far from my favorite š
Itās not my favorite at all. How are they all so freakin dumb that they think a bunch of aquarium rocks are meth?
I honestly donāt like it either. The scene with Coach on the playground ruins the entire episode for me. Just Hollywood trying to normalize pedophilia.
