10 Best New Girl Episodes

4. Normal (Season 1, Episode 20)

Every show needs a terrific recurring joke, and every show needs an aspect that we desperately wish was a real thing away from the set. True American ticks both boxes. Season 1 Episode 20 saw the first use of the game, and it has been used brilliantly ever since.

The gang invented the ridiculous game and it has spiralled into a phenomenon in the show, with nonsensical rules, utterly random shouts of pop culture references, and the 'floor is lava' aspect that everyone can relate to if they ever had a childhood. Fans have even gone as far as trying to recreate the carnage, though nothing can match the first time Jess & Co. gave it a whirl on in the series.
