Top 10 Times Brooklyn Nine-Nine Got Real 

It's a damn dynasty

16*

They're going to be twin presidents

OH MY GOSH! You're right! Terry is so sweet...

I’ve thought so! I’d love this to happen

AlexHutchins09 yessss, I was thinking about that

Yes, and how his ex-wife behaved by trying to blackmail him.

Jéssyka Moreira I feel like that was more used for laughs. You couldn’t really give Charles a plot line with Genevieve and not expect it to be hilariously.

They kinda get real with boyle too, when Gintars (Real father of nikolaj) suddenly shows up.

@@marksantiago2459 biological father*. Charles is also Nikolaj’s “real” father

Ana Sepúlveda me too, I cannot even imagine how it must feel to come out of the closet or how a person of colour has to deal with being racially profiled, unfortunately harassment in the workplace or school yard isn’t easy to deal with especially when your a woman, even men have to deal with it as well. This show is damn good, I cannot stop watching it, I just wished this season had more episodes.

Yeah, me too, especially Rosa getting shut out

Yep, when Terry got racially profiled, that really hit me hollow. Can't really relate to it as I'm lucky enough to not meet racists yet but it still made me feel bad as it was so awful

Honestly...same even if the show is a comedy genre it still tackles many deept things that people go through daily. And it's beautiful, inspiring, and heartwarming

As a lesbian black woman that hit me hard. Brought out a lot of my fears

And he also helped the twins understand when their dad got in trouble for simply being black

and he was always they for Boyle

He also punched the author for mocking Holt’s sexuality

@@Barfbagdontsag He also told Terry's kids it's okay for them to be trans.

yes

That quote is so powerful and important for lgbtq+ people everywhere.

😭😭

I really want this tattoed

It makes me emotional every time I hear it. I love it!

Everytime someone steps up and says who they are, the world becomes a better, more interesting place. 💖💖💖💖💖 💜💜💜💜💜 💙💙💙💙💙

which episode was this?

@@danielcortes2544 "He Said, She Said" , from Season 6, Episode 8.😎

@@trinaq oooohhh. I'm in s6 e6

Andy and Melissas Acting in that scene is amazing

I was definately in tears through that whole scene. Gets me every time.

Gina constantly sexually harassed Terry and it was never addressed. Loved Gina, but that always bothered me. He's a married man and she requested Jake takes photos of him in the bathroom.

@@101gidget i think when gina does it it is a bit more playful so they let it pass.

@@pforgottonsoul That's the exact problem

That was the worst episode of the series, basically ignored comedy for politics. The episode literally portrayed the majority of men Amy came in contact with as sexist.

The One Man Who Beat You It highlighter her encounters. You really expect her to include every single account of a guy actually being able to keep it in his pants? The show never said all women were sexist. It’s the fact that this happens so much to so many women that’s the problem.

THANK YOU!

Jake's issues are similar to that of Chandler's and hence the similarity of characteristics like constant need of humour and sarcasm Chandler and Monica also faced difficulties while conceiving

there was also the episode about the "peralta curse" where his dad was a bad dad, and his dad's dad was a bad dad so that kinda added on to his fears.

In that regard, Jake is pretty messed up.

That could explain why he hates kim

Stephanie Beatriz actually came out as Bi somewhere around that time. It was real real.

mariettula yep and they did a good job of the fact that when they do make jokes the jokes don’t make it rude or anything

I agree, I love seeing sexualities of all sorts being portrayed, without all of the negative implications. Even better was that when Stephanie came out as Bisexual, so did Rosa!😁

Ash Noz I applaud all who are brave enough to come out with their sexuality! Good for you!! You know what would be a good storyline for them to do would be a disabled person struggling to get work. As a disabled person myself it is bloody hard, yes there are opportunities out there but it’s a matter of finding the right one and when you work your butt off for 6 months only for it to not work out it hurts and really chips away at your self esteem. I’d love to see a disabled person get a job at the 99 and for Rosa and Amy or Jake and Charles to really be there for the person, or even Hitchcock and Scully.

@@keirarees3179 Thank you so much! And I agree with everything you said. People with disabilities need more representation in the media!

I loved it when Rosa came out and when Petra came out in Jane the Virgin

I did a thesis last year regarding latino representation in media. I did interviews and found that a lot of lgbtqa+ women particularly latina found rosa a strong role model.

I agree, one of the first times B99 really hit hard for me

That episode was based on an incident that really happened to Terry Crews some years ago. Just like Rosa coming out as bi was based on Stephanie Beatriz really coming out. I think it makes the stories even more poignant when it's something that the actors have actually experienced in real life.

I just watched that episode .... Terry speech was really heartbreaking

Same, b99 is one of my favourite shows of all time and one of the reasons I love it so much is because of how sometimes it gets real about issues about the world and America

same

It does kind of show how much Jake cares and will defend the people he cares about. And the irony of Stacy keach calling someone a home, meanwhile a few years before played a gay guy on two and a half men.

What episode was that?

@@kaczucha3able Season 1 "Old School". Ep 7 or 8.

Why was that powerful? I love Brooklyn 99 but I found that to be a very impulsive decision. Jimmy Brogan was a crude and rude dude, don't get me wrong. But jumping to violence immediately after something like that is said is unnecessary and childish. I'm bi btw.

@@adamchen5936 Brogan was being a sexist homophobic dick all through the episode. Jake was visibly uncomfortable all through but I think he hit his threshold when Brogan used that slang. I personally think Brogan deserved that. I fell in love with this show at that moment.

Then and when they were shown protecting Marissa over all those years

And when they create amy a birthing suite

What season is the Rosa caught in a shootout

@@tytaylor8122 Season 6.

Season 5 actually

Scully

Scully*

Right right, my bad yall

Fat Cat I feel like was because of his dad 😭❤️

Is the lmao really necessary?

@@francedajao8231 yes the lmao is always necessary. Don't question the lmao

He's an authentic nice guy

Nadia Rocha-Sersanti which episode including the difficulty for trans people in prison?

@@Scoutabout17 one of the two episodes where jake and rosa were in prison. jake is talking to the warden about how hard it is for cops in prison and it's mentioned that trans ppl have it pretty bad too

Those are the reasons why I love this show soooo much. We need more media bringing awareness to the countless struggles people are facing for prejudiced reasons, or the guns thing, which jeez.

Larry Lawton addressed the trans issue he said when he was in prison trans people were treated the same

Combined with casecastion, so the whole Jake+Amy Kid thing is a weird roller coaster. Which is odd, as my brother and SIL are having to do the IVF treatment stuff now (they're both 28) because of an ectopic pregnancy, and then we found out my brother has super low fertility and we don't know why.

Yeah in a lot of comedies and other shows people get pregnant by accident without even talking about if they want kids.

Regarding the difficulty in conceiving, I would talk about Charles and the inseminations he went through, and add the adoption plot

Hilda 5 it was and totally is! Terry mentions how he wants HR to do a presentation reminding everyone of sexual harassment policies and workplace boundaries or something

Yeah it was and wasn't. The thing is Terry and Gina are friends and he knows she wouldn't do anything. She also knows that he knows her, and the fact she would never do anything. It's friendly banter between two friends. Also after many rewatches I think it was a small way to test the water to see if the show could tackle bigger issues as it has done. Terry mentioning sexual harassment meetings, seminars, courses etc is a reminder of proper behaviour mixed into a joke. A few American comedies do throw this sexual harassment meetings joke in at some point. It was enough for Terry say something out loud for the audience to get a little laugh about how no one is listening to him, and at the same time raising the issue and making people aware. Amy's story is the real awareness tackling episode. I would say Terry and Gina were the blueprint or birth of the harassment story for Amy.

@@Imabassplayer2 most victims of sexual assaults know their attacker being friends with someone doesn't make it ok to harass them. Terry's shown on multiple occasions that he doesn't want it to continue but it still does

Hilda 5 I think too many people are dismissing it because it’s a women doing the harassing. By not realizing that women can be the perpetrators, they are actually just demeaning women even further. Like we are too delicate and naive to sexually harass a man.

Same with hunch and Holt.

LOL amazing quote!

Which episode was this?

Literally every single one

Don't be a dum dum

I know it’s amazing!!

Thats actually one of my favorite scenes because of how it captures all the characters perfectly. Pimento is batshit crazy and thats how we first see him. As soon as Jake is in danger Boyle reaches for his gun but keep his hand up to difuse the situation Rosa and Terry get their guns out but hold back to not escalate or hurt Jake Gine is of course on her phone since she knows abour Pimento, being Holts assistant and all, and knows the captain will take care of it Which Holt does, completely controlling the scenario and making sure no one gets hurt Then of course Jake who is scared shit-less but then thinks of it as awesome as soon as he realizes he's going to be fine

I love how the entire room defends Jake

Samantha Sanchez ikr they really make it work and that’s why the shows sooo good

@Nicola yeah,I love this show so much

Thank you! It honestly ticks me off how she basically flat out said 'have kids with me or I'll leave you.' That went from Amy's usual need to be in control to just taking away Jake's ability to choose. And the worst part is that she's never reprimanded for this, nor does she apologize. She gets what she wants and nobody ever brings up what she said again.

@@Jesseb106 Exactly! She went from "You, Jake Peralta are the right person for me." to "I'm gonna leave you" in 12 episodes. Brooklyn Nine Nine's my favorite show of all time but the way that was handled still baffles me

Honestly I sort of understand her. She did mention the fact that women have a limited to time to conceive. And they did get to the root of the problem, which was Jakes insecurity about being a father. She did bully him but he at least found out why he thought that way and how he could change it.

@@blacklipstick0239 the thing was that it was not at all handled appropriately. She basically threatened him. I understand that she has a right to choose whether she wants to be with someone who has different needs than her, but then so does he. The whole debating about it thing was still at least constructive. They later talked it out and got to the root of the issue which was good and what should have been done. However Amy blackmailing him was not cool. In Friends, when Monica leaves Richard because of the same reason, it's a genuine and mutual moment where both decide to part ways coz they can't meet midway. However, blackmailing and threatening your partner into having kids is not okay. His needs and wishes are just as important as her's.

The thing is they should have talked about kids before marriage, but even when the topic is discussed couples change through time and the topic of children is a huge make it or break it topic. So I have to agree with Amy if Jake was never willing to have children then it's best to cut it sooner, specially since her fertility time is almost over. It does make seem like it's bullying, but at the same time Jake can't continue running away from responsibilities just because he can't make up his mind.

It has... gravitas

Why?

Omg it’s true! No idea why tho

@@winniemaereact1391 i didnt watch the s7 yet? Whats the problem with it?

Jesriel Daug There’s no problem at all, it just feels a little bit different. However, the latest episodes feel like the good old B99! But this is my opinion, you might find it absolutely fine! :)

They changed the network. Fox cancel the series and NBC picked it up.

Rosa Diaz. I don't know enough words to explain why in english (i'm still learning the language), but she is my favorite since the first time I watched the show (and the first episode I watched was the one in which Jake wins the Bet)

@@alineferreira7463 that was a good one episode

I love Amy. I'm 14 years old, so I still don't really understand everything, but from what I know myself, I know that I'm a nerd (not like Amy, but I could definitely relate to her) and that's why the fact that she just lives her life without considering the surrounding claims impresses me. Regardless, she is very, very feminist (there was a list of feminist moments, feel free to look her up) and she shows the struggles of trying to do something that is attributed to men and be feminine at the same time, something I relate to as someone who is involved in the fields of science and wants to be a fighter in combat service when she grows up. And regardless, her relationship with Jake is the cutest thing I've ever seen, and it's so much fun to see how they support each other no matter what happens (for example, Jake supports Amy when she confesses about the harassment she's been through, or when Amy is willing to do anything to get Jake out from prison, also to sign a deal with a criminal). Jake is my second favorite character because he is terribly funny and childish, yet he knows how to support when needed and is there for almost every character in every moment of the series (Amy confesses to the sexual harassment, talks to Charles about the adoption, helps Rosa come out of the closet, beats to his hero because he is a homophobe who insulted Captain Holt, explains to Terry's daughters that Terry was arrested because he is black...), in general in almost every serious issue in the series he was a supporting character who helped those going through the difficult situation to get through it, without forgetting to add humor inside . And yeh, because of his relationship with Amy. The only reason he's below Amy in my ranking is that it's harder for me to connect with him emotionally because I relate more to Amy's struggles, but he's definitely a character I really, really like

zeroknight55 Yeah, that episode doesn’t sit entirely right with me. But I guess they were just going for Jake to be nervous about being a dad rather than not wanting kids at all. I just think they could have done it a bit better.

well, no show it's perfect, they will always have their ups and downs, and this one is a bit of a down

IKR, I don’t like this episode at all

And the thing is, we've seen glimpses in previous episodes that hint that Jake would be open to the idea of fatherhood, so him suddenly saying he's not is so out of character. Not to mention the meticulous planner that Amy is, she would've had this discussion with him wayy earlier when they were still dating. This episode was just out of character for both of them.

I felt the same. Also I think the episode was a redo of the one when they are moving together and end up moving to Amys. Or the one when Amy wants him to buy a new mattress. (notice the pattern). I think it was a argument they should have had earlier on and tackle it in various episodes. And maybe make his issue "I want kids but I´m afraid". He could have the same arguments but at the end it wouldnt be Jake being pressure into changing his mind but Jake believing he is good enought to nurture a child. Maybe shown him being reminded of all the people he has saved and how he has grown.

Krish Kapur do you like my ballon arch?

Thank you!

Lol

Agreed

Nah, what's bullshot about was that Jake has said before in previous episodes that he wants to be a dad. Casecation was just a clusterfuck for multiple reasons and totally out of character for both of them.

@@smarti3pants1999 he said he wants to be a dad?

@@bluez1892 he has mentioned it in a few episodes, yes. Not saying "I want to be a Dad" specifically, but saying things that implies in the future he is going to have children.

Amy wasn't trying to bully Jake, order is just how she deals with stress. When faced with a complex situation, this is always how she will react. Sure it could have been handled better, but when you have to resolve a complex issue in less than 30 mins, you don't have time to be subtle.

I wish jake and amy and boyle and terry and rosa and the whole 99 was real

HOLT is real. Along with his husband Kevin, They are our Dad,s

Thank you! The way Gina speaks to/about Terry is straight up sexual abusive! Swap the genders, and How is she any different from The Vulture with her inappropriate comments?!?!

Gina has the worst personality of all the gang. But it’s also part of her character.
