In this episode of New Girl in the beginning there is a breaking of stereotypes by the doctor being a female. This is breaking stereotypes because she is higher up in the field and shown as having power and being a leader. Another way of breaking stereotypes is when the boys all get drunk and they start getting emotional because they think Nick is going to die since he was found having a lump on his throat. It was breaking stereotypes because you see the boys showing their true emotions and expressing them to others, they weren’t afraid to cry. Jesse also breaks stereotypes in the beginning of the episode they were all playing touch football and Jesse comes and tackles Nick. She is breaking stereotypes of “feminine” touch and being aggressive and strong.
