It's not been a terrifically great season for new shows, in either the drama or the comedy category. In fact, on the networks, the only two new shows I am still watching, I believe, are "Awake" and "New Girl." The latter had a bumpy start, but of late, it's completely hit its stride, so much so that it's no longer embarrassing to admit that you love "New Girl." Very little of the appeal of "New Girl," however, has to do with the New Girl, herself, Zooey Deschanel. The strength of the show lies within Jake Johnson's Nick and Max Greenfield's Schmidt. (Does anyone know his first name?) In fact, Schmidt is the best new character of the television season, a guy who can somehow make douchiness seem sleazily charming. He's fantastic.
To honor Schmidt's status, here are Schmidt's 25 Douchiest GIFs.

Didn’t you guys post this last week?
I think so. I was worried I was going nuts or had developed a very specific kind of incredibly useless ability to foresee the future.
It accidentally went up for 10 minutes or so when we were having our server problems.
His profile is a dead ringer for Butt-Head.
Really? There wasn’t a better new TV character? I submit that Alex from Happy Endings was brilliantly re-written for season 2, and as such should be a write-in candidate for best new character.
Alex is eligible for Comeback Character of the Year
No one is going to second the selection? I will!
I love Schmidt. And I love the line “Did you get my Junk Mail?”
I like Schmidt fine, but I was kind of “meh” through this slideshow until #25, which finally got a giggle out of me.
Wrong. Its still embarrassing to like New Girl. And this guy is just a bargain bin Dennis Reynolds.
I like that assessment.
Dennis Reynolds is on a league of his own. No one comes close.
except that their characters arent similar at all. Dennis is impoverished and doesnt have any skills or stable employment. So hes just walking situational irony
I’m going with Shane Dogg
Gif #4 is actually Nick, not Schmidt. Nick was taking off his pants to run into the ocean with Jess chasing him.
Age ain’t nothing but a number for these loved-up A-Listers. My BF and I both think so! He is almost 10 years older than I. We met via ~~Agelessmeet . ＣOM~~ a nice place for younger women and older men, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other! Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends: )
No link to his super awesome dating profile video?

Oh, I get it – this is one of those ‘contrarian’ pieces the kids are always talking about.

What??? No gifs of him doing parkour ??? F this weak sauce.
