Schmidt!

Easily the best new sitcom character since Sheldon Cooper, gets some love HERE:

As Schmidt, Greenfield’s impeccable, preeningly over-confident delivery contains an element of realistic performativeness. Schmidt is the guy who says something he thinks is funny and looks around to see if anyone laughed; but he’s also the guy who says something inadvertently funny and has no clue. He is hyper-aware and yet oblivious, a good guy trying to be worse, one extremely anxious about his social standing and yet unconcerned about announcing he owns an Irish walking cape or seducing a girl by talking endlessly about cheese. He is insecure about all of the wrong things.

Points to the author for pointing out Schmidt is the anti-Apatow male. Ha!
