In the very rich world of comedy, a genre built, among other things, on the ease of creating intimacy between character and spectator, New Girl certainly occupies a prominent role, among the top representatives of the genre in the 1910s. The starting premise is as simple as it is brilliant: after a traumatic breakup, the optimistic and enthusiastic Jessica Day finds himself having to find a new home and so he goes to live with three male roommates, starting an incredible story, exciting, funny and so on and so forth. In her long history, made of 7 seasons as many years, New Girl he gave us unforgettable moments, made us laugh a lot, moved us, made us think and so on. The series embodied all the main stylistic features of a great comedy to the fullest, finding an incredible completeness at its end.
Among the guidelines of the genre, as mentioned, there is also this relationship intimate and direct that is created between the characters of the series and the spectators and this mechanism is clearly evident in New Girl, because we too, in a certain sense, are catapulted into soft with Nick, Jess, Schmidt and Winston. We enter so deeply into their dynamics that we become part of the group and experience their own situations, clearly in a figurative way. This experience leads to the development of a number of ideas, trends and other synonyms of what we can safely define inconvenience that only a true fan of New Girl can understand, one of those who experienced life in the loft. Let’s get together Jessica Day fans and face our troubles, going to list the 30 hardships that, in the long years of life of New Girl and still today, they represent us.
The 30 hardships of a true New Girl fan
1 – Hum to yourself, especially when you have to do something, is the best way to overcome the boredom of the daily routine and to get out of any situation. Let’s take a cue from Jess.
2 – A mix of feelings towards the world: Jess’s relentless optimism or Nick’s cynicism? We fans of New Girl we are able to alternate these two points of view, creating a truly explosive cocktail.
3 – Where has Coach gone? Who hasn’t felt a sense of bewilderment after losing one of the main characters right after the plot? Thank you New Girl for giving us this traumatic abandonment.
4 – Winston o Coach? Ok the sense of abandonment was very impactful, but never like the difficulty of having to choose, after the first few episodes, whether we are more sorry for Coach’s departure or happy for Winston’s entry.
5 – So they play basketball in Latvia? Speaking of Winston, a true fan of New Girl he surely knows all about the world of Latvian basketball, even if he keeps wondering how the hell Winston ended up playing it.
6 – Am I able to make jokes? Before the complete inability of Winston every fan of New Girl this question arises: am I able to make jokes or better that I leave it alone?
7 – A model friend: who hasn’t wanted to have a roommate who has a model as a best friend? Jess and Cece, we are looking for you!
8 – PARKOUR! Do you have to put your extraordinary physical skills to the test with extreme movements like getting up from the sofa to rush to open the Glovo ryder? Better to do it screaming parkour like Schmidt: the physical effort will have even more value.
9 – The MoonWalk is always a good idea: there is no more stylish way to escape from a thorny conversation than doing it with a MoonWalk, this is one of the many lessons Nick has given us.
10 – Who’s that girl? It’s Jess. And so all day, with this tune in my head.
I would like to play true Americano: but how the heck do you play?
11 – An irresistible desire: let’s start a triptych of hardships connected to one of the great symbols of New Girl, the drinking game par excellence. Any fan of the series has felt the urge to play real Americano, but has encountered a series of unexpected events.
12 – History lessons: first of all, before approaching the game, we dedicated ourselves to a quick study of American history, so as not to be caught unprepared, but then…
13 – How the hell do you play true Americano? This is the question that arose immediately after. Research after research to understand how it works, but the desire to play does not decrease.
Watching New Girl and becoming Nick
14 – Allow yourself to be irrationally angry: Nick Miller may be very nice, but he certainly doesn’t seem to be a great role model. Yet, how many times have we felt comforted by seeing him? For example, those who are sometimes irrationally angry can be seen in Nick, who wants to push where it says pull and doesn’t change his mind for the world.
15 – Nick’s Philosophy: “I regret it? Yes. Would I do it again? Probably”, how many actions ended with this consideration for us fans of New Girl!
16 – The friend of the heart: We all want a Tran in our lives.
17 – It bestseller: how many times have we dreamed of reading the mythical The Chronicles of Julius Pepperwood? Maybe too many, but that’s okay.
18 – The perfect evening: old friends around a table and Nick Miller behind the bar preparing cocktails, this is the typical evening for a fan of New Girl.
19 – Always criticize: Don’t worry if you’ve developed a tendency to find faults in a person and compulsively criticize them: it’s only Nick’s influence that has its effect.
What Jess taught us
20 – Moving dances: if you find yourself in a sea of tears watching Dirty Dancing, then it is probable that Jess has possessed you.
21 – An explosion of colours: There are also other tests to understand if Jess has possessed you while you were watching New Girl, one of these is to look in the mirror after getting dressed and check how many colors you are wearing. If the number exceeds four, then hurry to run to the exorcist.
22 – Parent trap It’s always the best way to make someone up, right?
23 – A teacher like Jess: who has never wanted her for a hypothetical child?
24 – The stick of feelings: us fans of New Girl we think it is the best way to resolve conflicts, unfortunately it is often not understood.
25 – An extreme trust: Jess has left us many hardships, of course, but also a beautiful faith in destiny, even when everything seems to work against us.
26 – What a Satisfaction! Schmidt’s compulsive order is something that really puts us at peace with ourselves.
27 – The feat of the year – You too dream of a featuring between Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel, right?
28 – The choice of roommates: understand that you have seen too many times New Girl when you yearn to live with three male roommates or a girl as a roommate, it depends on your point of view.
29 – What do we do with privacy? Ultimately we fans of New Girl we get it: between roommates, privacy is definitely overrated.
30 – But then, Nick and Jess yes or no? The real discomfort is not yet having an answer to this question after yet another rewatch of the series.
