That’s The Sound Of Da Police!
For five seasons, the officers of the Nine-Nine have enforced justice across their fair city, while simultaneously making us double over with laughter. While it looked like Jake Peralta and the rest of his motley crew had met their end due to cancellation, their almost instant renewal has give millions reason to celebrate. As such, before season six starts hammering at our doors, we’ve decided to look back on our five favorite moments!
Fair warning, there are SPOILERS AHEAD!
#5: Holt & Wuntch
Ray Holt habitually maintains a professional demeanor. However, Deputy Chief Madeline Wuntch knows how to press his buttons. Whenever these two are in the same room, Holt can’t help but unleash all of his animosity towards Wuntch. Of course even then, he still speaks in a hilariously monotone voice. When we first see these bitter rivals together, Holt compares his superior to Hades. And the captain has plenty of other insults lined up for his arch-nemesis. On another occasion, he attempts to take the moral high ground, but can’t resist dishing out his epic pun. Since Holt is usually seen as the precinct’s stern father figure, it’s always fun when he shows off his immature side, especially when Wuntch is involved.
#4: Boyle Gets Shot in the Butt
On the surface, Detective Charles Boyle might seem like a bumbling doofus… and sometimes he admittedly is. Regardless, he tries his best and will always come through for his friends. While pursuing a dangerous criminal, Boyle demonstrates his courage and dedication by taking a bullet for Rosa. It’s definitely one of Boyle’s most heroic moments, although his gallantry is kind of overshadowed by the fact that he got shot in the buttock. Nevertheless, Boyle is still rewarded for his bravery with the Medal of Valor. Since this is Charles we’re talking about, though, it’s only fitting that a horse named Sgt. Peanut Butter steals the show.
#3: Full Boyle
Charles Boyle has the tendency to rush into relationships, planning extravagant declarations of love after only a few days. As Jake puts it, he goes “Full Boyle.†To make sure Boyle doesn’t go overboard with his latest girlfriend, Jake decides to accompany them on their next date. Boyle naturally takes things too far when he decides to buy an engagement ring on the spot. Jake immediately snatches the ring out of Boyle’s hand, leading to a standoff with pepper spray. As Jake disposes of the jewelry, both simultaneous spray each other. In addition to being totally hysterical, this scene exemplifies Jake’s affection for Boyle and how far he’s willing to go to help his best friend.
#2: Holt Wins the Bet
In the show’s first Halloween episode, Jake catches Holt off guard by stealing his Medal of Valor, and winning their bet. The two make a similar bet the following Halloween, as Jake tries to swipe Holt’s wristwatch. This time around, though, Holt thinks several steps ahead. In the end, Holt reveals that he’s been plotting his revenge for the past year. Enlisting help from the rest of the precinct, Holt not only tricked Jake, but sent him on a wild-goose chase as well. It’s a hilarious turn of events that nobody saw coming, delivering a pitch perfect punch line. Holt truly earns the title of, “amazing police captain/genius.â€
#1: Amy Loses the Bet
Throughout the first half of season one, Jake and Amy have an ongoing bet involving who can make the most felony arrests. If Amy wins, she gets Jake’s car. If Jake wins, Amy has to go on a date with him. It’s a close race, but Jake pulls an upset at the last minute. He takes his victory to the extreme with music, dancing, and confetti. Jake even gets down on one knee and asks the defeated Amy to go on the worst date ever, presenting her with a one-dollar ring. He additionally reminds her that she has to say yes. Aside from arguably being the funniest moment on “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,†this is also the beginning of a beautiful romance.
