Season Five is out (which means Season Four is on Netflix) and my personal favorite unashamedly bizarre man with zero sense of healthy moderation is planning his wedding. Hilarity ensues and you need a good, long chortle to get you through El Niño so get your girls together, a whole lot of snacks, some blankets and settle in for a binge-viewing of the world’s weirdest flatmates.
1. Everyone needs a little musical theatre in their lives.
Perhaps you disagree? If you have ever been on an extended roadtrip with loud and painfully offkey singing (and sporadic knowledge of lyrics) and then subsquently done the same roadtrip sans singing, you will know what I mean. Singing (or rhythmically yelling as the case may be) is good, no matter how bad the voice.
2. Schmidt’s sartorial choices.
Wherever this man shops, I want to be there – and also probably have an income significantly greater than my current state but a girl can admire.
3. Steal a badass comeback for sneaky everyday use.
Surely one of the best quotes in the series is Schmidt’s “I don’t celebrate Christmas or as I like to call it, ‘White Anglo Saxon Winter Privilege Night’.” Whoever wrote that line, I want to be your best friend and banter with you ’til the end of time.
4. Relationship advice.
Such gems either deserved to be thoroughly questioned OR their pervailing wisdom is simply too ethereal, too pure for your youthful ears to comprehend. The choice is yours, ladies.
5. Winston.
Nothing more need be said of this beautiful enigma of a man. Winston’s weird is in a little of all of us and he ain’t afraid to show his feminine side.
