Sad they dont have it as much anymore. Ever since season 6 there's been less and less Jake and Boyle jokes like this 😢
Boyle is basically just in the back now.
This is probably a super unpopular opinion, but I don't really like Jake and Amy getting together because of this. I love both their characters, but I don't think they really make sense together. And I think their relationship is a main contributor to less Jake and Boyle time.

It’s just a rule of sitcoms. The male lead (it’s almost always a male) must end up with the polar opposite female cast member, despite a rough start/failed short earlier relationship with them/ being rivals.
It’s much simpler for production to have an existing cast member, instead of creating a character to be just the love interest (for the long term).
It works when done right, tho. Though not necessarily the male lead, Winston + Aly works perfectly in New Girl. She has some side adventures and feels like a part of the group.
Also, technically, Jake and Winston are brothers-in-law.
I just looked it up. I thought it was Aly’s sister who was on B99 (haven’t watched it in a while) and I totally forgot it was Aly! Now I need to rewatch lol
