50+ Quotes That Prove Winston Was New Girl's Best Roomie

Anyone else feel like Winston Bishop was severely underappreciated on New Girl? Our girl, Winnie the bish, was real. Despite kidnapping a cat and having his own odd eccentricities, he was somehow the most well-adjusted of the roommates. While he certainly loved Nick, Jess, Schmidt, and Coach, he had no problem calling each of them on their BS. He told Schmidt when he was being too silky post-breakup, and he may have been one of the deciding factors in Nick’s eventual writing success. He believed in his friends — without over-inflating their egos. All it takes is a cursory glance at some of the best Winston ‘New Girl‘ quotes to be reminded of his wisdom and witty retorts. And we’d be remiss not to mention that he kinda had one of the most hilarious but still functional romantic relationships on the show.

Plus, who doesn’t adore a man with a BFF (best feline friend)?
