The rest of the gang has gotten into Perralta’s spirit as well, using the words on occasion to express their excitement on various occasions. Adopting some modern slang, he constantly riffs on the words “nice” and “tight”, making them more playful and exciting. Jake Perralta (Andy Samberg) might be a genius detective but, at his core, he’s just a giant goofball. With this handy guide, you can be in on all the fun too! Check out all the best lingo from Brooklyn Nine-Nine below.īROOKLYN NINE-NINE: L-R: Melissa Fumero and Andy Samberg in the “The Venue” episode of BROOKLYN NINE-NINE airing Tuesday, Nov.
BROOKLYN 99 TELL ME WHY FULL
Of course, any good work family will eventually develop fun phrases, inside jokes, and teasing references, and the language of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is chock full of the stuff. Together, they’re a veritable Swiss Army Knife of wicked skills, ready for anything at a moment’s notice. Led by the taciturn captain with a gooey center, Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher), the nine-nine is a motley crew of wildly different personalities who have bonded because of their differences and are stronger for it. One of the reasons Brooklyn Nine-Nine is so cherished is because it invites viewers in for a big, loving hug. Viewers who had fallen off with the show promised to return, and people who hadn’t yet given it a chance found reason to do so in the cascade of irresistible comedic clips that peppered the internet following the brief cancellation. The subsequent hubbub surrounding the show’s brief cancellation increased its profile significantly. The wonder of Brooklyn Nine-Nine transcends all cultures.) Less than 24 hours after Fox lowered the axe on the funniest precinct since, well… ever, NBC saved the day by snatching up the show and delighting viewers all around the world. Thanks to an uproar from fans, and a whole lot of social media soapboxing, NBC saw an opportunity. In the event, in its NBC afterlife, it has become merely adequate and that, truly, is a crime.If you have a pulse and a working internet device, you probably know that the internet recently lost its mind when beloved comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine was cancelled by Fox. To have ended Brooklyn Nine-Nine after its fifth season would have allowed it to go out on a beautiful high. Would that the network’s commissioning team had been napping that day. Two years ago, Fox dropped the series, to a chorus of devastated wailing from fans and celebs including Mark Hamill, Lin-Manuel Miranda (who played Amy’s brother David in the show) and Guillermo del Toro, prompting NBC to swoop in. Worse still, Gina, the jewel in Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s comic crown, has left the show. Since then, in what has fast become the Jake’n’Amy show, fertility issues have been followed by pregnancy. Later, an entire episode was given over to the couple as they debated the wisdom of having kids. Next we were forced to join them on honeymoon to a luxury Mexican resort where – what are the odds? – they ran into Captain Holt nursing a midlife crisis. In their relationship’s early stages, the writers took care not to allow it to mess with the business of funny, but all that changed when the couple got hitched in a gag-free instalment involving an obsessive ex-boyfriend, a trampled bridal veil and a bomb threat. But then Cupid shot his arrow and it all began to unravel.Ĭlearly, the will-they, won’t-they tension of Peralta and Santiago’s friendship couldn’t go on indefinitely. Even Samberg’s smart-arsery stayed just on the right side of smackable. But if you’re here, who’s guarding Hades?” – each launched a thousand memes. Nine-Nine buzzwords (“Noice”) and catchphrases (“Cool, cool, c-c-c-cool”) took off, while Holt’s putdowns – “Captain Wuntch, good to see you. Right from the start, the talk was fast, the script fresh and the sight gags played to perfection.
The queen of this close-knit yet dysfunctional precinct was the civilian administrator Gina (Chelsea Peretti), known for her smartphone addiction and withering vocal fry. The early focus was on Andy Samberg’s Jake Peralta, a wisecracking detective with an aversion to wearing ties, although it soon became a smart ensemble piece featuring the brilliantly deadpan Captain Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher) ambitious, uptight Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero) goofy gourmand Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) hardnut Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz) and desk sergeant Terry ( Terry Crews), who loves the job so much he called his children Cagney and Lacey.
