“All of the surface stuff is very different, which makes for good comedy… But the reason I thought it was especially fun to play is the same reason it’s fun to love someone in your own family or marriage.” —Andy Samberg
I love how Ray Holt is portrayed simultaneously as a serious, emotionless captain as well as the most dramatic and petty person on the whole team. I live for his deadpan dramatic-ness and I’ve honestly never seen a character like him before on TV
The first time we see Kevin, he describes Holt as hilarious and the other characters are bewildered by this, but Holt has been a prankster since the beginning of the show. In the very first episode, when he was making Jake carry on with the robot impression, he was pranking him. The hula hoop incident.The fact he got so into the Halloween heists. Winding Jake up is one of his greatest sources of amusement and he loves playing jokes on people.
It’s just that no one recognises them as jokes because his face stays utterly serious throughout.
imagine thinking you’re too woke to enjoy Brooklyn Nine Nine lmaoooo
by this i mean, imagine thinking that “I don’t watch it because it’s cop propaganda!!” is a more progressive stance than “I can watch and enjoy this genuinely very funny TV show that features a diverse cast in gender, ethnicity and sexuality, that doesn’t stoop to stereotypes and also tackles serious subject matters like police brutality, gun violence, systematic racism, homophobia and lgbt struggles and being a woman in a male dominated world and work force. I can simultaneously acknowledge that this show doesn’t depict actual police officers and my enjoyment of the show doesn’t in any way detract from my acknowledgement and anger towards the behaviours of too many real US police officers. And me laughing at Andy Samberg singing Backstreet Boys doesn’t make me any less capable of loathing officers that allow racial profiling to colour their behaviours and lead to the use of excessive force towards and the mass incarceration of poc. This is because my enjoyment of pop culture and my ability to critically analyse the world are not mutually exclusive and i have an understanding of nuance and context.”
“then I don’t wanna be a woman” “you don’t have to be if that’s who you are!–wait that’s a whole other conversation” my cinnamon roll adhd son I love him
