So needless to say, we were pretty curious about what his elaborate cameo on the post-Super Bowl episode of New Girl would be like. As it turns out, the Purple One was very funny and a bit meta when it came to poking fun at his own cryptic image.

The main takeaway is: Prince is way cooler than anyone on New Girl, even when he's trying to sex-up Deschanel whilst simultaneously giving her love advice, whooping her ass in ping-pong and feeding her pancakes. (Sidenote: Has Prince always liked pancakes, or is this a relatively new development? Paisley Park personnel, please confirm.)
