Seems that way. He went from well-functioning adult member of society to a complete sad sack.

Perhaps if this show had a laugh track you would know the appropriate moments in which to laugh. :smuggo:

I think the show has gotten much funnier since the beginning. Although the Jess's sister plot is a bit slow, the rest of the season generally has had great pacing and has been pretty comedic.

GigaPeon posted:

Winston is quirky, Schmidt is ostentatious, and Nick is generally apathetic and realistic. Jess is a combination of all three. That's usually how it's always been, although with the introduction of Coach, those character traits have become more saturated. I think Winston will calm down if he manages to get a job.

Eh, guess it's just me then. But a laugh track always helps. I don't like having to laugh all willy nilly. What if I miss something some one else says?! It's anarchy!

That's the trajectory of the man living like Winston.

I, too, know the trials seeing how many envelopes you can stuff in an hour and then seeing if you can do more in the next hour. Worthless sad sack is the turning point.

I felt like the ending of this episode could easily have been the ending of last week's episode without really losing anything of value. It seemed like Jess and Abby were going through the same thing they went through last week.

Seems like a pretty realistic family dynamic to me. I'm having the same fights with one of my sisters for over a decade now

Dealing with your close family's a lot like playing out the same angsty, stupid sitcom stories over and over and over till one of you guys die!

e: I've been in a running battle with my younger brother for like 5 years now. In the space of an hour we can go from being best friends to wishing each other death. Y'know, family poo poo.

I like that New Girl captures that.

This episode really went crazy with the sex jokes. I mean the second you think about one of the quick throwaway jokes: Jess's sister roleplaying Nick having sex with Schmidt roleplaying as Jess, it is really hosed up :stare:

Between that and Archer right afterwards those are some of the most explicit sex jokes I've heard on television in a while

I don't know, it kept reminding me of how funnier the Fat Mac freaking out in the van about his chips from the burger store was. Pretty good episode overall, though. Sad to see Jessica's sister go, but at the same time I don't know just how long they could have kept it going without getting stale
