New Girl 1x08: Bad in Bed

Posted on the 07 December 2011 by Tvgeek @TVGeek_blog



Original Air Date: 6 December 2011


Storyline: Jess wants to take things to the next level with Paul, but is afraid of her poor experience in bed, so she asks the guys for advice. Meanwhile, Schmidt tries to blend in with his all-female coworkers, while Nick tries to overcome his discomfort of going to get his hair cut.Best Quote:

Nick: I was sixteen! I have gotten a lot better!
Schmidt: You haven't gotten that much better. I used to listen to you and Caroline all the time when we were in college. It was like listening to a rescue crew trying to communicate with a stranded minor. "Are you ok? Yea. Are you ok? Yea".


She's Adorkable!You know what? Tomorrow night. Let's just go out to dinner and then just nail each other. Just pound each other. V-bomb on the P-bomb.


The Douche FactorI saw your registry. I'm gonna get you one of those portable baby pumps. You're just out there in every day life, but you're pumping yourself at the same time, you know. Just milking away. Just...


Review: I've seen this episode two times in a row and I can't get enough of it; I think I'll watch it again and again until I wake up my entire building because of my hysterical laughs. New Girl welcomed back Justin Long as Jess' boyfriend Paul, and taking things to the next level has never been more fun than today. Take two quirky nerds, each one more afraid than the other to have sex for the first time, and comedy is ensured (and by the way, congrats to the show for making the shortlist for PCA's best new comedy).

I missed Long last week and I cannot tell you how glad I am he's back. I won't deny that, on long term, I'd very much like to see Jess with Nick, but she and Paul make the perfect pair in the geek-verse. They are absolutely adorable and there's no way you can stop laughing at her attempts to do role playing and chocking him to the point of almost scaring the poor guy for good. After all, who doesn't resort to S&M when they're being insecure about their performance in bed? 
But other than Jess, we had the opportunity of checking out some of the other characters as well, mostly Schmidt, and now it's clear to me where his being so in touch with his feminine side comes from. Guess what? Schmidt is the only guy working in an all-female office! Maybe for the first time, I actually rooted for him, seeing how the women there treated him to the point of timing out his bathroom breaks, and he rocked that party so hard!
As for Nick's refusal to get his hair cut at a barber's shop, I can only say one thing: dude, I get it! I hate other people's fingers in my hair too! Which is why I cut it myself, so I can give him lessons if he wants me to.
Let's go through the highlights: Jess encouraging herself to go and have sex, finding the porn on Schmidt's computer, her dirty talk, dismissing Nick's opinions because of his new haircut (which made him look like Marky Mark or some other 90's white rapper, especially with his shirt tugged into his pants). The guys' fight over who was the best in bed (and I'm betting on Winston, too) and Schmidt's hilarious account of how things were between Nick and Caroline. Every scene with Jess and Paul. The starfish. Nick's reaction to Jess and Paul stumbling into the apartment (didn't he look just like a grandpa waiting for his granddaughter to come home from a date?). And the fact that they finally gave us some more locations other than the apartment and the bar! Big kudos for that!
Let's not forget Eva Amurri's guest role as Schmidt's nemesis, I hope we'll get to see her again in the future. 
I want more, more, more of this hilarious stuff! Everything was just perfect in this week's episode!New Girl 1x07: Bells Back to Season 1
