who would've thought Julius Peperwood would become such an important part of the story lol

[@jackbauer4101]

It's so sad they spent no time talking to lamorne. Winnie the bish, prank sinatra. It's a pretty big miss

How can you forget Theodore K Mullins

Only Max could raise his eyebrows and nonchalantly say, "What a hoot!" about Piers Morgan...

[@FreshGirl3000]

Kinda funny how the novel actually became pretty huge thing for Nick in the end! Btw, hi, I'm still rewatching countless New Girl clips and interviews in 2019 because I'm terribly procrastinating and the KZbin algorithm has figured me out very well... it's great though!

If only they’d done this after Winston started w all of his own alter egos/aliases haha Ohhh Retired Rear Admiral Jay Garage-A-Roo...

[@jeremyjodi]

LOVE this show. I ridiculously point out things most dont even catch. And annoy my man with "how the hell do writers not remember that shit." For one, Jess says to Nick shes weirdly awesome at volleyball and then the episode with Coach and Jess getting VP job while playing VBall and sucked. Again love this show watch it over and over. That said the writers did not pay attention to those little details. And I yup im just that person. but i have a list more of shit they didn't catch.BUT love this show.

[@e.7904]

YES I’ve caught a few like that too, like how Cece pointed out that Jess only says “batMANmobile” but in the scene in Russels car she said “the batmobile doesn’t have as many buttons” I thought I was so ridiculous for nitpicking so much but I love this comment 😂 9 whole months later lol

[@anyas.6229]

i noticed the volleyball thing too! but I think the reason I personally noticed and not the writers is because I watched it after all the seasons were out (over the span of a couple weeks) and not over years like the writers

[@RileyMarieHoude]

but what about james wonder

[@dnovaactual]

Wait, can we get a Julius Pepperwood movie?

[@ReaperKezia]

Romney is a bit dated but that's what makes it even more ironic & funny
