New Girl: Every Main Character, Ranked
8. Robby
Robby is the only character on this list who was never a member of the core group, but as he as appeared in more episodes than Reagan, it seemed unfair to leave him out. He certainly made an impression during his time on screen.
Originally brought in as Cece's rebound from her casual relationship with Schmidt, as just about the exact opposite of New Girl's resident douchebag, Robby was an utter ray of sunshine every time he appeared on screen. Even when his teeth were shattered in a freak weightlifting accident, he was still smiling.
Though he never quite worked with Cece, and they were never going to stay together, Robby had a new lease of life when he started dating Jess. They were far better of a match, and we got to learn more about his incredible life, from playing bass on a Santana album, to saving Elon Musk's life and having a PBS documentary about him.
His story on New Girl came to something of an unsavory end as it was revealed that he and Jess were actually related, but had he appeared in more episodes, he may well have ended up further along on this list.
