It’s hard to choose only one quote to sum up each character but we will try.
In addition to many unforgettable hilarious moments, Brooklyn Nine-Nine has also provided fans with numerous memorable lines that both allow you to be the funniest person in your group and perfectly encapsulate the essence of each character.
From the witty and sarcastic remarks of Jake Peralta to the deadpan humor of Captain Raymond Holt, here are 7 lines from Brooklyn Nine-Nine that perfectly describe each character.
Jake Peralta: “Title Of Your Sex Tape.”
This iconic catch phrase became synonymous with Jake’s quick wit and ability to turn any situation into a punchline. It shows his playful and sarcastic nature.
Jake’s goofy charm is the main reason why fans are so mad about the lovable and charismatic detective.
Captain Raymond Holt: “Captain Wuntch. Good to See You. But If You’re Here, Who’s Guarding Hades?”
Captain Holt’s dry sense of humor and strict adherence to rules and regulations tend to break down from time to time, and his encounter with his most bitter rival, Deputy Chief Madeline Wuntch, is one of those times.
Although most viewers see Captain Holt as a stoic, situations like this (or the Heist Episodes) are priceless as they open up a whole other side of Reymond, showing him to be quirky and desperate for fun.
Amy Santiago: “Cashew? It Was An Almond, You Idiot!”
As an attention-to-details freak, Amy never lets anyone get away with making mistakes, especially when it comes to grammar.
Amy’s obsession with organization and her nerdy tendencies are humorously highlighted in this line, proving her meticulous yet funny nature.
Rosa Diaz: “Your Sadness Is Noted.”
Rosa’s no-nonsense attitude and her tendency to prioritize action over conversation are perfectly summed up in this line.
It proves once again that Rosa is not the one to share her feelings, and more importantly, not the one to let you share yours with her. Breaking up with Marcus and noting his feelings can be considered character development, we would say.
Charles Boyle: “What If Something Happens to Jake, and He Never Gets to Meet My Baby? I Don’t Want to Hang Out With Some Stupid Baby Who’s Never Met Jake.”
That’s how we want our friends to be obsessed with us. Aside from his passion for being a detective, cooking, and his wife and son, Boyle is mad about his BFF.
His whole character is built around this bond, and his fear of losing Jake is one of the funniest plots on the show.
Terry Jeffords: “Terry Loves Love.”
A big muscular marshmallow, Terry loves so many simple things: yogurt, hedging, his daughter’s pictures, love.
Although he looks tough and vicious, Terry is a very gentle and caring person who cares deeply for his family, co-workers, and the little things in the world.
Gina Linetti: “The Only Thing I’m Not Good At Is Modesty Because I’m Great At It.”
Gina’s self-confidence and self-obsessed personality shine through in this line, reflecting her unabashed pride in herself.
The only thing she really can’t do is live without her phone, all the other failures are just an illusion. Unbothered queen.
Hitchcock and Scully: “We’re A Package Deal.”
You’ll never see them separately, and now you know why. Even when the meeting assumes the presence of one of them, you get two.
Hitchcock and Scully do everything together: eat, sit on the couch, go to the bathroom, ignore work. The best “lack of productivity duo.”
