Whether it's dealing with the horror of running into an ex and being unable to act normal, or finding out you've unknowingly been sharing a towel with a roommate, who also doesn't think towels need to be washed, "New Girl" does a great job of playing on those fears we have and ones we never knew we should have. "New Girl" has no problems pushing boundaries for a laugh, even ones born of discomfort. However, the show has occasionally crossed the line from just odd humor to storylines that were about topics that aren't usually considered funny.

One example is Jess stalking her ex, Sam, and we're not talking about the random drunken text many are guilty of, it was behavior that resulted in him obtaining a restraining order. Even worse, another episode had Winston and Coach trying to figure out how to get their attractive neighbors to sleep with them, and they each decided, respectively, on pretending to be a nice guy and lying (via IMDb). These episodes did manage to wrap up those storylines in a palatable way, but there is one scene that may have been too high on the ick factor for many fans.
