67 Quirky 'New Girl' Quotes That Are So Relatable
Because we're all a little quirky on the inside.
From the minute Jessica Day, Zooey Deschanel's character in New Girl, appeared on our screens, we probably all let out a sigh of relief that we finally had a character we related to.
Whether it's her phenomenal fashion sense (because we all know that Deschanel brings her A-game, let's be honest) or the way she earnestly cracks her ridiculous puns, there's something about Jess Day that makes us feel like she's one of us.
And it's not just her — every episode leaves me in tears because of the amount of seriously funny New Girl quotes that she and the cast as a whole dish out.
Everything about this show is just spot on — which makes it really hard to actually take a break and leave the couch (because missing out on New Girl reruns should be against the law).
That being said, this roundup of funny New Girl quotes from Jess, Nick, Winston, Schmidt, Coach, and Cece that are totally relatable will hit you right in the feels. They don't make TV shows like this anymore!
