While each episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine features sweet, funny scenes between Jake and his fellow detectives, some storylines feel more memorable than others. Usually, the best plotlines on this beloved sitcom are moving and heartwarming, allowing viewers to see how much everyone cares about each other. Sometimes, the episodes that fans recall the most really lean into the show's silly tone.
From Jake's beloved Halloween game to some fun storylines involving popular characters, there are several Brooklyn Nine-Nine plotlines that fans love and they're sharing their favorite ones on Reddit.
The Halloween Heists Storylines
Reddit user Guillybaby loves "The Halloween heists" storylines. It's fun to compare the Brooklyn Nine-Nine Halloween Heist winners since this game is such a huge part of the show each season.
While the characters on this popular sitcom are each very different from each other, they share a love of competition in common, and it's a lot of fun seeing everyone from Jake to Amy and Rosa become obsessed with being crowned the winner. Since Jake is immature yet lovable, watching his adoration for Halloween is extra special.
Jake Goes Undercover
Reddit user nicog2105 posted "I enjoyed mafia Jake" in a Reddit thread about the show's best storylines.
In the season 2 episode "Undercover," Jake wants to apprehend a family of criminals and that leads to Boyle and Jake pretending to be part of the mob. Fans enjoy any chance to see these two characters cracking a case together and this one is particularly memorable.
Holt Vs. Wuntch
While Captain Holt is a charming and intelligent character and viewers would be happy to watch any scene with him, it's his competition and feud with Madeline Wuntch that highlights his best character traits.
For Reddit user Suonii180, "Anything with Wunch" is a great Brooklyn Nine-Nine storyline. Wuntch's presence on the sitcom shows that Holt is incredibly passionate about his work and that he deserves to rise to the top of his industry.
Anything Involving Kevin
Holt's funny Brooklyn Nine-Nine quotes are just as clever and interesting as his partner Kevin's. Watching the two characters together is as heartwarming as it is humorous as they have so much in common.
Reddit user CapriciousSalmon loves "Kevin plots" because "He’s probably my favorite side character." While it's tough to see Holt and Kevin consider breaking up in the final season, this storyline does allow viewers to see more of Kevin's soft, sensitive side.
Holt And Jake Hide In Florida
It's always fun seeing Holt interact with the other characters, and at the beginning of season 4, Holt and Jake are in a tough situation.
One Redditor loves "When Jake and Holt go to Florida for witness protection," which happens in "Coral Palms, Part 1" and "Coral Palms, Part 2." They are scared of Jimmy "The Butcher" and while the show always maintains its lighthearted tone, this is still a terrifying plotline.
Adrian Pimento's Plotlines
Quirky characters are definitely celebrated on this sitcom and Adrian Pimento is a fan favorite Brooklyn Nine-Nine side character as he's wild, wacky, and bold.
One Redditor said that they love "Anything with Pimento" and Reddit user kubla_han wrote, "Pimento Memento was clever." There's a lot going on during Pimento's time on the show, as he and Rosa get engaged but he's also running from someone who wants to murder him.
The NutriBoom Storyline
One of the most memorable Brooklyn Nine-Nine storylines is Jake agreeing to buy NutriBoom so Bill will be part of the Halloween Heist and help Jake win. Of course, nothing is ever that simple, and fans know a lot about this pyramid scheme/cult.
For Reddit user 3p1c-G8m3r, "Nutriboom" is a great plotoline. The fan added, "I was really hoping for a follow-up in S8." This storyline is also a clever look at these types of products, as Jake talks to the famous star who is the face of the brand.
Jake And Doug Judy's Friendship
While Jake is best friends with Boyle, he has some other pals who come and go on the sitcom, creating some hilarious and special storylines. It's especially interesting seeing Jake and Doug Judy over the seasons since this bond bugs Boyle so much, as he believes that only he and Jake can be true best friends.
Reddit user gustic-gx loves watching "Any Judy episode" and Reddit user apk5005 agreed that they love this storyline, writing, "the entire Judy arc - the best frenemies relationship, Charles’ jealousy..."
Rosa's Coming Out Plotline
Rosa is a kind, loyal friend and fans love any plotline that focuses on this compelling character.
Reddit user theuncharacterstic1 mentioned "Rosa coming out" in the season 9 episode "Game Night" as a favorite moment on the series. Reddit user lookaspacellama agreed, writing that it was moving "when everyone comes over for game night to support Rosa." The fan loves when Holt says to Rosa, “every time someone steps up and says who they truly are, the world becomes a better, more interesting place."
Amy And Jake's Bet
One Redditor loves the "bet between Jake and Amy where the loser moves in with the winner" because it has "Unexpected wholesomeness."
This storyline takes place in the season 4 episode "The Fugitive, Pt. 1" when Jake says, "Whoever catches the most fugitives gets to keep their apartment." Amy mentions that Jake only has one grey towel and he says that it was in the apartment when he moved in, which is another reminder that Jake can be pretty immature. Fans love watching this relationship become more serious over time as they are so different but teach each other a lot.
