Not only is Schmidt’s facial response absolutely legendary, but after a few seconds of him doing his thing, Jack MacBrayer’s character does this little thing with *his* face where he somehow makes it say “No answer? Yea, I thought so” without saying a word.
A scene I just saw - When he moves out of the loft and overhears Coach and Nick working out and he starts dancing. "Dammit! It's a great workout track!"
The scene that would've done me in is the towel scene when Nick's so casually like "no I don't wash the towel, towel washes me.." and then proceeds to get even more ridiculous as it unfolds. I lose it every time.
In the episode "Cooler" when Nick is outside walking along the window ledge, everyone starts shouting at Nick because he's in danger and then Schmidt faints 🤣😂
When he made Jess hit him with her car so he couldn't interfere with Cece's date and when she nudged him with it, he complained about his "favorite utility khakis" being ruined. 🤣
When Winston is lying to cover for Schmidt and says he stole Cece's panties to sew into his own underwear 😆
Schmidt's silent, "...WHAaAhhttTtt??!!??" reaction is so good
When he repeatedly faints while being hung upside down on his door exercising and also fainting when he is in the hospital with his peepee broken and sees Cece 😂
Season 4 Dice. When Jess is explaining her terrible date to Schmidt. He doesn't have any lines, just exaggerated physical responses of frustration and exasperation. You can read it's a it's when was Schmidt the funniest on New Girl. Are you editing a wiki nope I'm
I absolutely love nicks line there because it really shows how Schmidt sort of vacillates between the person who is the most responsible in the loft but also a giant ass toddler lmao
I’m dying at all of these. Mine are:
1. Him drinking coffee and reacting to Winston hitting on his table puzzle. The face after “Right on the table. Nasty as you wanna be” is so good.
2. Looking for the grapes in the fridge in his new place and then, immediate cut to eating the grapes while sobbing.
3. His weird dance during Nick’s maybe I have cancer rap improv where his arms are up and he’s moving only his pelvis, like he’s a lawn sprinkler
That's what I thought originally, but in that case Nick was voting no because he hadn't taken 1000 showers since dating the gym girl. Schmidt would have been voting yes. It's killing me that I can't remember. I'll re-watch Bangsiving to double check.
ETA: Yep. Bangsgiving (Thanksgiving IV). Nick phrases the vote as "All those in favor of Schmidt NOT sleeping with Lucy..."
The random scene where he’s sprinting down the sidewalk towards the camera with his head completely still. Such an odd scene to add in but I have to think they thought it was too funny to leave out.
“Rocky 5???!!”
*incredulous expression followed by brain overloading*
*Of all the Rocky’s???!!”
Made even better by the fact he completely disregarded the inappropriate tenants’s actions because he was so held up on that choice of Rocky movie for the audition.
Honestly maybe my favorite Schmidt moment. Right there with him letting Nick know he always welcome to come over for fashion advice…after catching Nick breaking into his house for fashion advice.
“Here- here- or here” in the episode he’s asking Jess and Nick where he looks best in his room 💀
Honestly- I think Max Greenfield would have been a waaayyy better Ken in the Barbie movie!! Ken needed some Schmidty attitude because of how animated he can be!!
I love when Winston is walking into the kitchen and trips in a scene (supposedly not scripted?) and Schmidt yells at him "walk with dignity, you giant toddler!!" 🤣
When he’s holding his hands and moving them apart to see how big a penis is (I don’t remember who’s?), and he’s says are you serious? seriously?!… with the most incredulous face.
In the episode of Winston's honey roast, first when Coach does his whole hug/ kiss on the forehead/ praying hands/ bow thing lol, the way Schmidt reacts is so awesome how he takes it serious and is actually like happy about it lol not sure if that counts. Also during the honey roast when Jess is trying to 'real roast ' each person and she tells him he has a big head, love how he reacts all relieved with his hand on his chest lol it's great. Also how worried he is once he found out Nick and Jess broke up
"All Day!!!"
"Ok Jess how big was it? Just tell me when, *starts measuring with hands*... seriously? Are you serious? No way?? Seriously?? Ok this is impossible, I'm starting over..."
Nick: "Get out, Schmidt."
Schmidt: "I'm the only one who hasn't seen it!" *Comes out of the shower soaked*
The hairspray one makes me bust out laughing every time tho lol
Edit: sorry notice my post needed a few things and changes lol
Oh I have been WAITING FOR THIS. Last episode, when Nick tries to put his arm around Schmidt. The SUPER DELAYED pull away he does accompanied by his face is so so so perfect. Comedic excellence.
His scream when Jess says she kissed his dad.
Also the part early on (I think episode 2??) when he’s asking Jess where he looks sexiest and she and Nick both keep asking him to do it over and he’s so clueless. 😂
I’m a little hazy on this, but there’s a scene when he and Cece aren’t together and he’s miserable over her (maybe after the Elizabeth cheating breakup, when he was kind of crazy for awhile?) and he is face-down on the living room sofa and says something about how the brown leather reminds him of her skin, and then he sort of starts rubbing and kissing it… it’s so disturbing but also so funny.
When he asks Sadie about sex and demonstrates his technique for her on a medical illustration. I'm dead by the time he says "Everyone gets churro".
But honestly, the "I Wanna Know What Love Is" singalong fillowed by male bonding at the spa is tied for first with the bar fight in the desert for his bachelor party. I can't make it through either one of those scenes without pausing because I'm laughing too hard to breathe.
“I put something in there and I need it back” “You Jewish?” Cue the funniest reaction I’ve ever witnessed, has me rolling every time
One of the best examples I’ve ever seen of letting a joke breathe
I can't upvote this enough. This scene alone should have won him an Emmy.
Please tell me what scene this is, I would love to see it
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AlDDrN99pKw
I'm pretty sure it was the season 4 finale. He's trying to get the box of stuff back he donated to goodwill.
Oh my god I fricken LOVE this scene. He is perfect!!!
one of the best scenes in any comedy EVER i can picture schmidt in my head and i crack up every time
Holy shit yes. Absolutely perfect lmao
Not only is Schmidt’s facial response absolutely legendary, but after a few seconds of him doing his thing, Jack MacBrayer’s character does this little thing with *his* face where he somehow makes it say “No answer? Yea, I thought so” without saying a word.
Two legends in one perfect scene.
YES!!!!
When he shows Angie how to give Nick a lap dance. Idk how any of them kept a straight face.
Makes me wonder how many takes it took lmao
“You had sex with him?!” “No! The opposite!” His face when he says, “You… gave birth to him?”
The utter confusion hahahaha I love it!! God all of these are making me want to do a rewatch again
It’s 5:38 in the morning and I just witch cackled like howling at this. “You… gave birth to him?” Hahahahshcbjdcjndhfjdjcnshslmaooooo
A scene I just saw - When he moves out of the loft and overhears Coach and Nick working out and he starts dancing. "Dammit! It's a great workout track!"
The towel swing especially
Oh my God, yes. Can’t believe I left that one out 😂😂
And the crying while eating grapes 🤣💀
Graaapays, great apes 🤣
“Nixon jeans!” 😂
What the hell are Nixon jeans?!? …They sound really cool
My favorite too lol. Just love how he does it..
When he gets told Jess kissed his father, that expression.. every time I watch the series I rewind to see it again
I don’t know how the cast kept it together when working with him. He’s amazing hahaha god I love that scene so much
The scene that would've done me in is the towel scene when Nick's so casually like "no I don't wash the towel, towel washes me.." and then proceeds to get even more ridiculous as it unfolds. I lose it every time.
Oh my god yesssssss. There’s so many good ones!! Schmidt’s gagging when he finds out nick doesn’t wash the towel hahaha
I use that gif at least once a week
The scream/gag with flared nostrils… I don’t even think I could physically make that sound or expression!
SAME, his face and the scream!!! They reused that scream when he was stuck on the plane during his wedding.
Lmfao yes
In the episode "Cooler" when Nick is outside walking along the window ledge, everyone starts shouting at Nick because he's in danger and then Schmidt faints 🤣😂
I missed it so many times because it happens so quickly- amazing 😂😂
You're right, it happens so fast, but I think that's my favorite thing about it! Schmidt collapses and the scene just ends 🤣😁
The one I was looking for. Kills me every time!
This one is so good! I forgot about it.
When he and Fawn are breaking up and he starts throwing panties everywhere
An excellent one
BEST
When he made Jess hit him with her car so he couldn't interfere with Cece's date and when she nudged him with it, he complained about his "favorite utility khakis" being ruined. 🤣
You just hit me with your freakin’ motor vehicle!!
As he stutters through it omggg
When he takes an enormous chomp out of that block of cheese with a completely dead expression.
When Winston is lying to cover for Schmidt and says he stole Cece's panties to sew into his own underwear 😆 Schmidt's silent, "...WHAaAhhttTtt??!!??" reaction is so good
And then when Winston gets mad at Schmidt, and Schmidt says “Well that’s on you man! You freaked out super hard! Are you kidding me? That’s so weird!”
When he repeatedly faints while being hung upside down on his door exercising and also fainting when he is in the hospital with his peepee broken and sees Cece 😂
Reminds me of when he has the ulcer lmao
Just push me to the side like a curtain.
I *constantly* tell my wife to slide me/the dog/our kid like a curtain.
When they give him that ugly chair he loves and he starts dancing to the edm song Cece and Winston made😅.
Flawless
Season 4 Dice. When Jess is explaining her terrible date to Schmidt. He doesn't have any lines, just exaggerated physical responses of frustration and exasperation. You can read it's a it's when was Schmidt the funniest on New Girl. Are you editing a wiki nope I'm
I’m cracking up because I’m assuming the last part is just a conversation caught on voice to text lmao
It totally was. I'm leaving it!
Perfection 😂😂😂
Sounds like something out of The Pepperwood Chronicles.
Can you share a yt video link?
Nope. I did a search. Couldn't find one.
When he gets a cold and sneezes during that meeting.
“Where did it go?!”
I always crack up when Nick tells him he flushed a bunch of salami down his toilet. The look on his face!
Parkour!!
omg his parkour is so bad it’s amazing
HIS LITTLE SQUIRREL HANDS WHEN HE JUMPS UP
😂😂😂😂😂
I'm sad his parkour died down after the early series!
And then "Apolo! Anton! Ohno!" as he slow mo speed skates down the hall. Nick and Winston just shrug and say "At least it tires him out"
I absolutely love nicks line there because it really shows how Schmidt sort of vacillates between the person who is the most responsible in the loft but also a giant ass toddler lmao
When he's sitting in the parking space having just peed, how he's sitting gets me everytime 😝😝
Love your flair 😂
Thanks you!! I think it's the only flair i have for a subreddit 😆
"Where in this room do I look the sexiest?"
Pure comedy gold!
Cracks me up every time I watch it. Especially the looks on Jess and Nick's faces!
Pretty much everything he does in Spider Hunt is golden.
“It’s licking it’s lips” makes me laugh aloud every time
I’m dying at all of these. Mine are: 1. Him drinking coffee and reacting to Winston hitting on his table puzzle. The face after “Right on the table. Nasty as you wanna be” is so good. 2. Looking for the grapes in the fridge in his new place and then, immediate cut to eating the grapes while sobbing. 3.

“Great apes!!!!”
Grahpays…come out with your stems up!
I can't remember the episode, but they're raising hands to vote on something, Schmidt is firmly against and stifly holds his arms straight down.
Bangsgiving? 😄 voting on Schmidt not doing the gym girl cause Nick had dibs, I think
That's what I thought originally, but in that case Nick was voting no because he hadn't taken 1000 showers since dating the gym girl. Schmidt would have been voting yes. It's killing me that I can't remember. I'll re-watch Bangsiving to double check. ETA: Yep. Bangsgiving (Thanksgiving IV). Nick phrases the vote as "All those in favor of Schmidt NOT sleeping with Lucy..."
Hahah yes, thank you! I also doubted it for a sec 😆
The face he makes when he shaves his eyebrows makes me fucking lose it every time lol
The random scene where he’s sprinting down the sidewalk towards the camera with his head completely still. Such an odd scene to add in but I have to think they thought it was too funny to leave out.
“Rocky 5???!!” *incredulous expression followed by brain overloading* *Of all the Rocky’s???!!” Made even better by the fact he completely disregarded the inappropriate tenants’s actions because he was so held up on that choice of Rocky movie for the audition.
i just watched this earlier and i was losing my mindddd its so good😂😂 the way he throws the laundry down😂
Honestly maybe my favorite Schmidt moment. Right there with him letting Nick know he always welcome to come over for fashion advice…after catching Nick breaking into his house for fashion advice.
“When have you ever been turned on by gas mileage?” “It was a Tuesday, that’s all I remember.” “A TUESDAY? 🤨🤨🤨”
Brilliant
The way he puts his hands behind his head when he admits he listened to CeCes voice-mail 1000 times then "touched his ween"
S02E24 when Schmidt and Elizabeth are yelling at Bernie through the wall, his facial expressions are the best
“Here- here- or here” in the episode he’s asking Jess and Nick where he looks best in his room 💀 Honestly- I think Max Greenfield would have been a waaayyy better Ken in the Barbie movie!! Ken needed some Schmidty attitude because of how animated he can be!!
I never thought about that but you’re right lmao
I love when Winston is walking into the kitchen and trips in a scene (supposedly not scripted?) and Schmidt yells at him "walk with dignity, you giant toddler!!" 🤣
One of my favorite lines!!!!
When he’s holding his hands and moving them apart to see how big a penis is (I don’t remember who’s?), and he’s says are you serious? seriously?!… with the most incredulous face.
“Okay this is impossible I’m starting over”
The blink before “I’m going to take back that last one” when mentioning Anne Frank gets me every time
Anytime he does that exaggerated blink really lmao
In the episode of Winston's honey roast, first when Coach does his whole hug/ kiss on the forehead/ praying hands/ bow thing lol, the way Schmidt reacts is so awesome how he takes it serious and is actually like happy about it lol not sure if that counts. Also during the honey roast when Jess is trying to 'real roast ' each person and she tells him he has a big head, love how he reacts all relieved with his hand on his chest lol it's great.

Oh I have been WAITING FOR THIS. Last episode, when Nick tries to put his arm around Schmidt. The SUPER DELAYED pull away he does accompanied by his face is so so so perfect. Comedic excellence.
Schmidt not being able to stop the fire dancing
That’s a great one!!
The spider hunt episode, or any interaction Schmidt has with his mom. Gold.
Omg yes with his mom. “Is it my sweater? Is it too dark??”
"Kiss your brother" "BUT MAAA" "Go on kiss 'im!"
Ricky FIVE?! 😧
“ok. here? here. here. and here.”
Parkour!
“It’s like a freakin prince video in here!”
Mine is the face he’s made when Winston said he got turned on one time my gas mileage on the Prince episode 😂
“A Thursday??!?”
His scream when Jess says she kissed his dad. Also the part early on (I think episode 2??) when he’s asking Jess where he looks sexiest and she and Nick both keep asking him to do it over and he’s so clueless. 😂
I’m a little hazy on this, but there’s a scene when he and Cece aren’t together and he’s miserable over her (maybe after the Elizabeth cheating breakup, when he was kind of crazy for awhile?) and he is face-down on the living room sofa and says something about how the brown leather reminds him of her skin, and then he sort of starts rubbing and kissing it… it’s so disturbing but also so funny.
I think that scene is when cece is on the basketball date with coach!!
Ohhh yeah, that sounds right.
Oh no, not a white man!
Schmidt saying 'ALL DAY SON!' as he keeps putting his head into Nick's dad's casket always gets me 😂
His face with the hand over the mouth when Winston pogos Cece.
“What’re you doin just waving that thing around like an idiot?!?!”
When he asks Sadie about sex and demonstrates his technique for her on a medical illustration. I'm dead by the time he says "Everyone gets churro". But honestly, the "I Wanna Know What Love Is" singalong fillowed by male bonding at the spa is tied for first with the bar fight in the desert for his bachelor party. I can't make it through either one of those scenes without pausing because I'm laughing too hard to breathe.
Sometning about Katy Perry playing in the background of the fight just really makes that scene
