'New Girl' Star Max Greenfield Is Getting Constantly Roasted By His Daughter For His Attempts At Homeschooling
06 April 2020
Max Greenfield / Instagram
Schmidt, Max Greenfield's character on New Girl, has been described as "everyone's favorite lovable douchebag".
He's a little bougie, but has a genuinely good heart and a self deprecating sense of humor that makes him pretty relatable.
<p>That humor is apparently something actor Max has in common with his TV character. </p><p>Now Max has invited the world to laugh along with his failure as he is repeatedly destroyed at the hands of his new nemesis—his daughter Lilly and her homeschool classes. </p><p>Y'all it is so nice knowing I am not the only one who is getting <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/jenniferabidor/max-greenfield-from-new-girl-is-sharing-homeschooling?origin=web-hf" target="_blank">proverbially punched</a> in the face by homeschool life. Truly these videos are a chronicle of a man, a mission and a miniature mastermind of snark. </p><p><strong>Oh, and a sweet sweet quarantine 'stache.</strong><br></p><p>Things start out so hopeful. Max curls up to read Lilly's reading assignment to her. </p><p>He really did try to give it a serious go, but The Birchbark House can be a tough read full of tough words and... well ... </p><p><strong>This screenshot says so much... </strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">
