ABOUT BROOKLYN NINE-NINE
"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" follows the exploits of hilarious Det. Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) and his stoically ever-professional captain, Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher), along with their diverse, lovable colleagues as they police the NYPD's 99th Precinct. In this final season of the series, Jake and the squad must try to balance their personal lives and their professional lives over the course of a very difficult year.

Rounding out the ensemble is Sgt. Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumera), who has a passion for organization and a weakness for dork dancing; Lt. Terry Jeffords (Terry Crews), a mountain of a man whose most powerful muscle is his sweetheart; Jake's best friend and human puppy dog, Det. Charles Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio); and the incredibly secretive, tough-as-nails Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz). Also part of the Nine-Nine are veteran officers Det. Scully (Joel McKinnon Miller) and Det. Hitchcock (Dirk Blocker), whose only skill as police officers is their ability to make a passable pot of coffee.

Created by Emmy Award-winning writer/producers Dan Goor and Michael Schur, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" won the 2014 Golden Globe Awards for Best Television Series - Comedy or Musical and Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Comedy or Musical (Samberg). Emmy winner Braugher earned four Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his role as Capt. Holt.

I always liked the detail that whenever there's an emergency situation Rosa is the first one to go for alarms or fire extinguishers showing how seriously she takes her job.

[aayushchandra]

Holt always introducing himself to his husband with his full name, all the time....🤣🤣🤣

[Sonichero]

Holt's cold open is absolutely perfect. The sheer brazen audacity to tell jake the truth with photo evidence solely because he knows no one will ever believe jake is just hannibal lecter levels of sadistic genius

[LittleHobbit]

Not a cold open, but for Gina the scenes of her helping pick out an IT guy would also be good. Shows off how she seems random and disinterested, but she's actually just as smart as any of the detectives.

[sax]

I always die when Captain Holt ALWAYS introduces himself with his full name to ppl who already know him 😭😭😭

[nickwright]

“The only way I’m going to die is if you touch me with one of your bony fingers and drag me across the river Styx, you reaper..” my favorite insult.

[josemaria]

Boyle being chosen as the best man is one of my favourite moments. His happiness is so contagious

[RussyBoyTV]

"because no one, will ever believe you."
Impeccable delivery! 😂

[AizawaAya]

I think the one where Rosa wore pink shirt and no one said anything "because it's Rosa" will fit hers better. It really shows how much her colleagues fear her. 😆

Also another one crossed my mind for Hitchcock and Scully is the one where Hitchcock drank his own goldfish. 😂

[KiSwordsman]

I honestly think that the secret Santa scene would have summed up Jake’s character better Lol

[bethjacobx]

the innocence of terry's "it's my wife" at 5:25... he has no idea how much trouble he's in

[renatocorvaro]

I will never get over the fact that it took *four minutes* for Holt to call Gina after spilling soup in his lap.

[glcrgl]

I was %100 sure that Jake's would be "I Want it that Way" one but this is great too

[elsagreen]

Charles's one is so cute because Jake knew exactly what would make him happy, down to the embarrassing initials. Their friendship is adorable.

[globbyakaweirdjellyguy]

Of course Terry was able to make the football play while carrying Jake since he only feels like he’s holding a few grapes.😉😂
I also just love Jake’s “Great gift babe” line to Amy.😂😊❤

[bearimpaler]

I love the "hitchcock and scully" as a single character.

[calebsoria]

1:01 he’s a family man whose super strong, helps his squad, loves talking in the third person, and loves dancing

[RicPendragon]

Terry's is made all the better because Terry Crews used to actually be a pro footballer (and painter...not related, I just love his photorealistic painting style)

[KeithFraser]

5:05 Everyone else trying to get Gina to look up from her phone: *subtle psychological warfare*
Rosa trying to get Gina to look up from her phone: *AIR HORN*

[rangerlove]

I would have gone with the secret Santa one for Jake, though the no pants one is brilliant too
