How is he on New Girl? I don't get it.


First off, I wanna say that I have nothing personal against the guy, I've listened to a couple of interviews with him and he seems funny and nice. However, he just should not be on New Girl or on TV.

Number one, he is ugly. I mean, his nose looks like it's been broken 3 times and there's an ugly mole on it, he has really bad teeth and an ugly smile, just all around his features are crude and he doesn't fit the definition of attractive or at least TV attractive in any way. He is easily the worst looking cast member of New Girl. On top of that, he has a really annoying semi-high pitched voice, most of the time it sounds like he's whining, and perhaps most importantly he lacks talent - he's just not that funny and his range seems really limited. Schmidt, Winston and Jess are all way funnier and just deeper characters overall. And the fact that him and Jess are supposed to have chemistry and possibly have some sort of romantic storyline in the future just doesn't seem believable at all.

Again, I have nothing against the guy, kudos to him for making it and he is likeable but he is just not at the level you would expect for a show like this.

The character is whiny, annoying, immature, and narcissistic, but he does a good job at it.

He is pretty ugly though, definitely. Jess is way too hot for him. Of course Schmidt is kind of ugly too (his head is big and fat and an odd shape) and the black guy looks like a doofus, but they are still better looking.

I think he is gorgeous! I love his big nose and his scruffy facial hair. I also think he is one of the funniest on New Girl; he's got great timing and facial expressions. To each his or her own, though.

After a slow start he's easily the second strongest character on the show from a comedic standpoint, behind Schmidt of course.

He's absolutely killed in that last half of the season.

You are all on crack. He is super cute !!

Weird. I actually think he is freaking adorable. He's my fave on the show. I think he is so cute with Jess. Especially in the last episode :)

I think he is very good looking. I don't like "pretty boys." He is just your average Joe who is a little rugged and cute and I find that very attractive.

Not to mention, he is hilarious on the show. Nick is my favorite character.

He's funny as hell and has ridiculously good delivery, open yo eyes!

He's not conventionally attractive but he's so adorable. He has a weird awkward face but I think it works.
