The 12 Best Quotes from Brooklyn Nine-Nine

NBC’s (used to be Fox’s, but we all know how that ended… ) Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a tour de force of a comedy. A groundbreaking sitcom featuring LGBTQ+ and Latinx representation, non-toxic masculinity and more, B99’s cast, led by The Lonely Island funnyman Andy Samberg, has no shortage of laughs, nor of touching moments. From Gina’s queen-like attitude to Jake’s poorly timed jokes and Captain Holt’s deadpan humor, B99 has produced plenty of memorable quotes, as well. Check them out for yourself.
1. Following the rules isn’t always fun
“Sarge, with all due respect, I am gonna completely ignore everything you just said.” – Jake Peralta, Season Two, “Hostages”
OK, listening can be hard and we can’t help but sympathize with Jake here. Sometimes following orders and rules from someone else is a drag, so it’s okay to completely ignore them every once in a while.
2. When you transcend language
“The English language can not fully capture the depth and complexity of my thoughts, so I’m incorporating emojis into my speech to better express myself. Winky face.” – Gina Linetti, Season One, “Charges and Specs”
The English language is complex, occasionally outright stupid and sometimes just doesn’t do you justice. We hear you, Gina. Emojis are just simply more fun.
3. Everyone just wants a bit of privacy, to be honest
“A place where everybody knows your name is hell. You’re describing hell.” – Rosa Diaz, Season Six, “A Tale of Two Bandits”
Nowadays, it seems impossible to find some privacy, let alone a place where no one knows your name. So, it seems Rosa hit this one right on the head, firing a shot at Cheers in the process.
4. The perfect response for every situation
“Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. No doubt, no doubt, no doubt.” – Jake Peralta, practically every episode
Sometimes when you hear bad news, you don’t know what to say, but Peralta’s here to fix that for you. Whether things get awkward or things just get downright sad, just “cool, cool, cool, no doubt” your way out.
5. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but my words will live on forever
“If I die, turn my tweets into a book.” – Gina Linetti, Season Three, “Halloween III”
Gina has lots of great quotes, so it’s not surprising that her Twitter is filled with straight fire … or whatever the kids are saying nowadays. Nonetheless, we’d buy a book filled with Gina’s tweets. And Chelsea Peretti’s are okay, too, we guess.
