Line 29:
** Specifically, when about to engage in an accidental threesome with their landlord. Yeah.
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Cece, although she states in Episode 5 that her parents are Indian. Hannah Simone, who plays her, is a mixture of Indian, German, Italian, Cypriot, and Greek. Lampshaded by Schmidt when explaining to Cece the ingredients he put in a perfume he made for her for Christmas.
{{quote|
* [[Appeal to Vanity]]: How Nick, Winston, and Jess get Schmidt to get back to his old self in Control. In fact, it's a good way to get him to do stuff in general.
* [[Artifact Title]]: Could possibly become this if the show goes on for years and years, because Jess wouldn't ''quite'' be a new girl anymore.
Line 83:
* [[Discontinuity]]: In the pilot, Jess says the word "penis." In the third episode, she is unable to say it. (Then again it was a little sing-songy in the first episode.)
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Jess and Schmidt attempting to shove a very large turkey into a very small oven. Immediately lampshaded by Schmidt.
{{quote|
'''Nick and Winston:''' Jar. }}
* [[Do-It-Yourself Theme Tune]]:
Line 136:
* [[Local Hangout]]: That unnamed bar where Nick works.
* [[Long List]]: On a date with Schmidt, Cece's Russian roommate Nadia starts rattling off things she likes about America:
{{quote|
* [[Los Angeles]]: It's revealed in the Thanksgiving episode that the show is set in L.A.
* [[Man Child]]: Paul acts like this sometimes, being an elementary school teacher.
Line 143:
* [[May-December Romance]]: Jess/Russell.
* [[Metaphorgotten]]
{{quote|
* [[Modesty Bedsheet]]: Justified in one memorable case when Cece wrapped up in Schmidt's blankets before walking out into a living room full of his roommates. Of course, why she didn't just put on her own clothes, or even his, before wandering around in front of his friends is another question.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: When doing Nick the favor of pretending to be his girlfriend to make his ex jealous, Jess adopts a ditzy personality that involves persistently getting the ex's name wrong.
Line 173:
* [[Over-the-Shoulder Carry]]: Schmidt drags Cece away from a fight with another woman this way.
* [[Pep Talk Song]]: One of Jess' quirks is her tendency to give ''herself'' songs meant to boost her own confidence.
{{quote|
'''Nick:''' [[Lampshade Hanging|Wait, did you make up a theme song for yourself?]] }}
** "Nick Miller, Nick Miller, from the streets of Chicago..."
Line 180:
* [[Random Events Plot]]: A lot of the episodes are a sequence of thrown-together character scenes that don't prioritize punchlines.
* [[Rant-Inducing Slight]]: After Nick spends all day disapproving of Paul, Jess gives us this gem:
{{quote|
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: For all that they have some typically male tendencies and insecurities, the three guys have never exhibited any trouble hugging each other, telling each other or other people they love them, or crying. Schmidt in particular is also not averse to kissing his male friends (although Nick tells him multiple times to stop "Fredo-kissing" him when they think {{spoiler|that Nick has cancer}}). There's also his cooking, Winston's comfort with girl talk, and Nick's claim to be good with babies.
** Winston's a nanny for awhile, and he and the kid Elvin are total buddies.
Line 212:
** To ''[[Dirty Dancing]]'' and ''[[Lord of the Rings]]'' in the pilot.
** To ''[[Footloose]]'' in "Cece Crashes":
{{quote|
** Schmidt [[The Godfather|"Fredo-kissing"]] Nick in ''Injury''
** It appears that the [[Shout-Out]] to a movie may be a [[Once an Episode]] occurrence, as to date there has been one in virtually every episode.
Line 230:
** In universe, Jess believes that Jenn, Paul's girlfriend after her, is "Asian me" due to the two women's obvious similarities. Ultimately, she decides she was something Paul happened upon on his way to Jenn, his true love.
* [[Take That, Critics!]]: When Nick's new girlfriend Julia makes dismissive comments about Jess's "whole thing" (meaning her sweet/cute/feminine style and demeanor), Jess mounts a defense that can be clearly seen as one of these toward those who have criticized the character (and Zooey Deschanel herself) as excessively twee.
{{quote|
* [[Team Mom]]:
** Schmidt, hilariously enough.
Line 236:
* [[That Makes Me Feel Angry]]: "This makes me hate things."
* [[The Tell]]: Everyone knows when Nick is hiding something.
{{quote|
* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]: Jess has performed the show's theme song in-universe a lot. ♪ A Lot! ♪ Starting with ''the pilot''.
* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]: On several occasions.
{{quote|
* [[This Is Sparta]]: "SPENCER. WORE. JELLIES."
* [[This Loser Is You]]: Nick is a bartender who dropped out of law school shortly before getting his degree, who comes off as rather bitter. Winston is currently unemployed and clueless about what he wants to do.
Line 260:
** Schmidt usually finds a way to employ this trope. [[Fan Service|Not that anyone's complaining.]]
** This seems to be the primary reason for Schmidt's contributions to the Douchebag Jar.
{{quote|
'''Winston:''' You know, [[Once an Episode|we ask ourselves that every single day.]] }}
* [[Welcome Episode]]
Line 270:
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: Schmidt and Cece. {{spoiler|[[They Do]] in the Valentine's Day episode, but only after we're teased with the possibility of Schmidt and Jess doing it instead.}}
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: "You know what happens? Schmidt Happens!" Later in the same scene:
{{quote|
* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: Jess returns home early in hope of surprising her live-in boyfriend with some [[Sexy Coat Flashing]], but he's cheating with another woman. This leads to her breakup and search for a new apartment.
