Here are 31 of the shows “noicest” episodes.
Brooklyn Nine-Nineis such a tonally consistent and persistently funny show that there are few episodes that truly stand out.
The shows 100+ episodes just feel like one big glob of excellent comedy.
Still, weve decided to highlight 31 in particular that deserve just a bit more praise.
Major Case Detective Pembroke (an excellent Dean Winters) is the titular vulture.
Also Boyle gives everyone STDs (save-the-dates).
But what about when that federal agency is the dumbest one ever?
Season 2, Episode 11 Stakeout
Jake and Boyle are best friends.
You see where this is going.
These are two incredibly annoying people who begin to annoy each other during the stakeout almost immediately.
To keep the peace the two develop a no-no list to curb behaviors that they absolutely cannot abide.
By day two its longer thanCrime and Punishment.
This also begins a multi-episode arc for Nick Cannon as Holts nephew and Rosas love interest.
Case in point: the FBI sure does seem to wear a lot of windbreakers, dont they?
The 99 is invited to the Department of Homeland Securitys terrorism exercise for multiple law enforcement agencies.
Jake is determined to make an impression for the federal bigwigs.
Its almost as though hes just a scared kid in need of a father figure.
In Captain Peralta we find out why.
Jake is excited for his dad, pilot Roger Peralta (Bradley Whitford) to come visit.
At first he seems like the coolest guy in the room.
He jetsets across the world taking in phenomenal experiences and telling awesome stories.
Problem is hes unable to make any meaningful relationships with other people including his son.
So going into season three, the 99 needs a new captain.
They find one immediately in the form of Captain Seth Dozerman (Bill Hader).
He sternly tells them that as long as hes at the precinct, they can never date.
Then he immediately drops dead from a heart condition.
New Captain is hilarious and bold for how quickly it dispatches a guest star as big as Hader.
It also sets up the beginning of Jake and Amys relationship perfectly.
Well, its not.
Its about Jake and Boyle trying to rescue Boyles sperm from his ex-wife.
Season 3, Episode 15 The 9-8
Sometimes a guest actor can make or break an episode.
Thankfully,Brooklyn Nine-Ninehas a habit of picking only the best.
Wayans is a hilarious actor and he and Samberg have excellent chemistry.
Its also not a stretch to think this role is what got Wayans Jr. the lucrativeLethal Weaponjob.
This is the middle chapter in a three-part arc and its by far the best one.
Bureau features a downright Holt-ian guest appearance by Dennis Haysbert andgratuitouscontortionist yoga from Rosa.
Season 4, Episode 3 Coral Palms Pt.
3

So every character then proceeds as though it could be their last day together.
The name of the episode is Moo Moo.

1 is a fun example ofBrooklyn Nine-Ninegetting creative with new environments and circumstances for its characters.
Season 5, Episode 4 HallowVeen
Escalation is a tricky thing for sitcoms for pull off.
That means they rarely hold anything back and sometimes eschew long-term planning.
Thats what makesBrooklyn Nine-Nines Halloween series so miraculous.
Every yearBrooklyn Nine-Ninehas a Halloween episode.
