This one is a must-watch if you're looking for a Thanksgiving episode filled with over-the-top drama. You'll also envision this scene whenever you hear "Whatcha Say" by Jason Derulo.

New Girl is a show that always makes me laugh, and this Thanksgiving episode is no exception. It marks the first Thanksgiving that Jess celebrates with her roommates, who usually observe "Dudesgiving," which involves sitting on the couch, watching football, and Black Friday shopping. In typical Jess fashion, she buys a frozen turkey at the last minute and frantically tries to defrost it in time for dinner-leading her to put it in the dryer, which ultimately catches fire. If you think that's the most chaotic thing to happen in the episode, think again-the chaos of New Girl is genuinely endless.
