Jess (Zooey Deschanel) is annoying as hell. I thought she was before, but after watching “Naked,” I realize she’s the most annoying person in the world. It’s one of her quirks (not an adorable one) and can’t be helped. I kind of think she does it on purpose because no one’s really that dumb, right? And damn if she doesn’t seem like she’s missing her brain at times.
Nick (Jake Johnson) seems to be the focus this go round. Jess sees him naked and things just go downhill from there. But that’s what makes this episode hilarious. I can even tolerate Schmidt (Max Greenfield). He’s still the biggest douche around but he is kind of less douchey this time around. Maybe.
Observations:
How crazy is it seeing Nick dancing in front of a mirror to reggae? Whoever thought of that—genius! But seriously, why is he dancing naked in front of a mirror to reggae music? Anyone?
Winston (Lamorne Morris) is growing on me. I kind of feel bad for him since he’s been so out of the loop he has no idea what’s going on in pop culture. His reaction to Schmidt wanting to see Nick’s penis kills me. “Again, why do you want to see it?” I think Schmidt needs to reconsider why he wants to see Nick’s junk. It has nothing to do with being best friends. He’s a bit of a pervert if you ask me. “I’m the only one who hasn’t seen it!”
Ooh, I can’t forget to mention the feeling stick! I want one. Just so I can try to get people to talk about their feelings. Everyone should have a feeling stick. “Believe it or not, that’s not the first time someone’s broken my feeling stick. I have a travel size.” If that statement doesn’t make Jess appear truly childlike and foolish, I don’t know what will.
The nicknames Jess comes up with for penis are hilarious: “pee-pee and bubbles,” “le peen,” “bing bong,” “doojer and chickadees,” as are the different ways she says penis without actually saying it. This has to be the most hilarious part of “Naked.” I cannot convey how hard I laugh when she goes through singing the word, saying it in Pig Latin—“enis-pay”—with a ghoulish flare or saying “pianist” instead. Top notch writing!
Funny lines:
Winston to Schmidt on how he’s seen Nick’s penis: “We grew up together: locker rooms, swimming pools, penis fights. It just happens.”
**
Schmidt to Winston about figuring out life: “I don’t have anything figured out. I’m a fully grown man with roommates, got a stupid job, I’m single, my best friend won’t even let me see his penis.”
**
Schmidt: “Winston, my legs. My, my legs are seizing up. I hate my life. I hate my… I’m making new discoveries. I’m a fear based person apparently. It’s topical. I need a hug. 911.”
**
Schmidt to Winston about his inability to run a mile: “I suffer from exercise induced asthma.”
Winston: “You suffer from exercise induced crying?”
Schmidt: “It’s a real thing, man. ’Kay? EIA.”
**
“Well, you know, maybe when you are you’ll be able to show her your other penis. Your heart penis.” I’m looking forward to the next new episode because I laughed so hard during “Naked.” I cannot wait for Tuesdays. Thank you Fox for bringing comedy to our Tuesday nights. *whispers* I still miss Coach (Damon Wayans, Jr.).
