Nick Miller: Did you put the microwave in the trash?
Jess: Yes.
Nick Miller: Why would you do that?

- A few episodes of season 5 were filmed along with the 22 episodes of the fourth season because Zooey Deschanel was pregnant.
- Nick's catchphrase: "This is my nightmare!"
- All the male actors have played police officers. Lamorne Morris (Winston) on _New Girl_, Max Greenfield (Schmidt) on Veronica Mars (2004), Jake Johnson (Nick) and Damon Wayans Jr. (Coach) in Let's Be Cops (2014).
- Jerrod Carmichael was offered the part of Winston but turned it down to focus on his stand-up career.
- In the first season, Zooey Deschanel (Jess) and Jake Johnson (Nick) were directed to have as little physical contact as possible. This is because their chemistry was thought to be too distracting.
