00:00I like her play.
00:02I'd say she's in line at the bank.
00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks
00:10for the rumored or confirmed moments where an actor's genuine reaction
00:14made it into the show.
00:15I smell bacon!
00:20Number 10.
00:20T'was the Pontiac Bandit scheming to break them?
00:24In this episode, Jake teams up with the Pontiac Bandit
00:27to track down his foster brother, George, a recently escaped fugitive.
00:31You want me to help you catch him?
00:33Like when X-Men teamed up with Magneto to stop Apocalypse.
00:36Jake offers him total immunity for his past crimes,
00:39a deal that horrifies Captain Holt.
00:41Honestly, with that epic theme song, we might have been swayed too.
00:45Taking down crooks in the streets where they live,
00:48flirting with girls who are hot for the bash.
00:50There's a talking police dog that helps them solve crime.
00:53While Doug Judy easily charms Jake,
00:55Captain Holt proves to be a much tougher nut to crack.
00:59Not even Judy's perfectly timed use of t'was can shake him.
01:03Andy Samberg, on the other hand, isn't so lucky.
01:06He lets out a small snort of laughter during the deadpan exchange,
01:10breaking character just enough for sharp-eyed fans to catch.
01:13I saw the guy fake Pekingese.
01:16T'was a cat.
01:17You will not win me over with your use of t'was.
01:20T'wasn't trying to.
01:21Number 9.
01:22Where the blood's supposed to be.
01:24Any Brooklyn Nine-Nine fan knows Jake Peralta's love for police shows,
01:29especially Die Hard, is a big reason he became a cop.
01:32Keep it up, Jake!
01:33He's yours, he's yours, he's yours!
01:34I know!
01:35I feel like the coolest person in New York City!
01:39That obsession often leads him to Hollywood up the job,
01:42and this time, it costs him.
01:44Despite being ordered to rest, Jake insists on working,
01:48and ropes Boyle into a case in Atlantic City.
01:51With Terry's help, they track the perp down,
01:53but Jake ends up getting hurt again.
01:55At the hospital, Terry confronts him about his recklessness,
01:58but Jake only cares that the suspect got away.
02:01As he downplays his injuries,
02:03even Sandberg can't help but let out a barely stifled laugh
02:07at how ridiculous Jake sounds.
02:09I wasn't hurt that badly.
02:11The doctor said all my bleeding was internal.
02:13That's where the blood's supposed to be!
02:15Number 8.
02:15Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
02:18As the story goes, Sandberg first started saying cool, cool, cool
02:22to try to make his castmates crack up,
02:24and of course, it quickly became a running gag,
02:27with other characters joining in too.
02:29It's cool, cool, cool, cool!
02:30But there's at least one time the line's original purpose worked.
02:33When Jake and Captain Holt come into contact with mumps,
02:37the doctor lists the potential symptoms of the virus,
02:40and both nervously break into a round of cools.
02:43Okay, cool, okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, no doubt.
02:47According to the official Brooklyn Nine-Nine YouTube account,
02:49Holt's actor Andre Brouwer tried his best to suppress his laughter.
02:54Hey, the doctor never listed loss of sense of humor as a symptom.
02:57Anyhow, over the next several hours,
02:59you will more than likely develop fever, aching, fatigue.
03:02That sound too bad.
03:03Also, tart foods will cause intense jaw pain,
03:05so you may want to avoid sour candies.
03:07What?!
03:08Number 7.
03:09This kid is liquid fire.
03:10When it comes to describing their newborn,
03:12parents usually stick to words like precious, perfect, or cute.
03:16However, we haven't heard too many parents describe their child as hot.
03:20We did it, Ames.
03:22We made the world's hottest baby.
03:24Say cute, Jake.
03:26Nope, this kid is liquid fire.
03:28Okay, so Jake might be the only person we've ever heard to describe their kid that way.
03:32Well, the important thing is we'll support him no matter what,
03:35even if he's a huge, huge nerd.
03:37Especially then.
03:39While Amy tries to steer him to a more conventional adjective to describe their son,
03:43he doubles down, making her laugh.
03:46Apparently, that wasn't just Amy laughing at Jake's goofiness.
03:49He actually made actress Melissa Fumero giggle.
03:52Later, when the squad visits the new parents,
03:55you can spot Stephanie Beatriz, Rosa,
03:58smirking as Amy thanks Holt and Terry for that dance.
04:01Captain?
04:02Lieutenant?
04:03The dance was great and it really helped.
04:08Dance?
04:08What dance?
04:09She doesn't know what she's talking about.
04:10Mommy brain much?
04:11Captain Holt and I did a hip-hop dance routine.
04:14Oh, I see.
04:17Well, you know what?
04:18I don't even care that I missed it because right now I am holding my son
04:22and there's nothing more important in the world than that.
04:24I have a video if you want to see it.
04:25Amy Holt this baby.
04:26Number six, a wine-cident.
04:28There's little that stresses Amy more than disappointing Captain Holt.
04:32When he invites her, Rosa, and Gina to dinner,
04:35she and Gina get trapped on the subway, missing the entire evening.
04:39I hope we're late.
04:40That's how the fashionable crowd lives.
04:41I told you, tonight I'm gonna have fun.
04:44What?
04:45I'm being chill.
04:47Why are you looking at me like that?
04:48Because something stank.
04:50Of course, Amy doesn't handle it well,
04:52turning to a bottle of wine to help her get chill for real.
04:55It didn't matter that we were late, it didn't matter that I was chill,
04:58and it didn't matter that the rats ate my salad.
05:00Oh no, I definitely saw them running away from it.
05:09You know what, my friend?
05:10It's time to be chill for real.
05:12Hey, it's not like anyone else will drink it now, right?
05:14Gina's reaction is iconic,
05:16but you might have missed that Fumero actually broke in that moment.
05:19Surprisingly, it wasn't Gina's enthusiasm that did it.
05:22At least, not that we can confirm.
05:24It turns out Fumero had just got some wine up her nose.
05:27Classic.
05:29Yes, Gaga, yes!
05:30That's the spirit!
05:34We should go.
05:35Yep.
05:35Number 5.
05:36Boyle offends Terry.
05:38We know that Boyle's beef with Sergeant Peanutbutter runs deep.
05:41My nemesis.
05:42Your nemesis is a horse?
05:43Are you still mad at Peanutbutter because he won a medal the same day as you?
05:47He totally upstaged me.
05:48He toochied me.
05:49So as you might imagine, he's not too disappointed when the horse gets stolen.
05:53Captain, I solved it.
05:54Charles kidnapped Peanutbutter.
05:55Ha ha, I did not.
05:56But it's no surprise that somebody did.
05:58We get it.
05:59He's still salty about having to share the spotlight,
06:01but plenty of people, like Terry's kids, care deeply about the Sarge.
06:05Unfortunately, Boyle doesn't exactly respect the opinions of two young girls
06:09who still need help.
06:10How did he put it?
06:11Your kids need help wiping their butts, Sarge.
06:13They're not exactly geniuses.
06:15While Terry understandably gets mad at Boyle's disrespect,
06:18there is someone else in the precinct who has a very different reaction.
06:22Let's take another look at this shot, shall we?
06:25Now, something amusing to you, Detective Diaz?
06:27Number 4.
06:28Gina won't look up from her phone.
06:30We love Gina, but she's not winning employee of the month anytime soon.
06:34In this episode, Jake starts a pool to see who can get Gina to look up from her phone.
06:39Gina hasn't taken her eyes off her phone in two hours.
06:41First person to make her look up wins the pot.
06:43I'm in.
06:44Bet which improves someone's manners, double score.
06:47Boyle's up first, confident he's got this in the bag given their romantic history.
06:52He barely gets two words in before Gina makes it clear he's not winning this bet.
06:56Hey, girl.
06:59Catch you later.
07:00Now, let's rewind and focus on the squad in the background.
07:03As the stapler hits Charles, you can see Beatriz throw her head back.
07:08Sure, it seems like a typical Rosa reaction,
07:10but we have reason to believe this was a totally authentic, unscripted moment.
07:15Mid-morning dance party!
07:18She's dancing even better than normal.
07:20Number 3.
07:21Amy runs late.
07:22In one of the best cold opens, the squad ponders a rare event.
07:26Amy is late for work.
07:28Ooh, she was taken in her sleep.
07:30That's what I'm talking about.
07:31Super dark, Boyle, but way more plausible than the Sarge's idiotic alarm clock theory.
07:36I bet she tucked herself into bed too tight and got stuck.
07:38Captain Holt is initially unimpressed to find his staff idly hanging around,
07:43but then he joins in the game with a guess so dull you almost think there's no way it could be true.
07:48Amy Santiago is a few minutes late, and we're all trying to guess why.
07:51I like her play.
07:53I'd say she's in line at the bank.
07:59This is fun.
08:00But Beatriz clearly found it entertaining,
08:02and can't quite hide her smirk as the shot pans by her.
08:06When Amy confirms Holt's guess for her tardiness,
08:08his reaction, an ad-lib, cracks us up every time.
08:12Since it cuts straight to the titles, we guess we'll never know if it broke the cast too.
08:17Although we wouldn't be surprised.
08:19I'm just 70 seconds late.
08:20It's not a big deal.
08:20Don't worry about it.
08:21Santiago, you will tell us, and you will tell us now.
08:26There's a problem at the bank.
08:28Hot damn!
08:29Number 2.
08:30Jake makes an exit.
08:31In this episode, Jake's relentless pursuit of a civic leader
08:35suspected of money laundering leads to a much bigger case.
08:38To follow the trail, Jake goes undercover, claiming he's been canned by the NYPD.
08:43As we mentioned earlier, he loves adding some razzle-dazzle to his job,
08:47so naturally, he can't leave the precinct without making a big show of it.
08:51Okay, now call us all names and storm out of here for the benefit of the bullpen.
08:55This is the best day ever.
08:57He wants everyone to think he's been unceremoniously fired, right?
09:00What better way than with a loud, dramatic exit?
09:03And your mother!
09:05And your mother!
09:07You're all a bunch of pigs!
09:09I smell bacon!
09:12As he storms off, Beatriz, yes, again, starts to break.
09:16We guess when you're playing a character who's always cool and composed,
09:20it's tough to keep up that poker face.
09:22This whole place reeks of bacon!
09:25And guess what?
09:26I'm going kosher, because Jakey don't dig on swine!

09:471. Oldest Bag
09:49In another classic cold open,
09:50the squad's chatting about the oldest perps they've ever arrested
09:54when Charles walks in and completely misreads the situation.
09:58My oldest collar was 78, but the PCP made her fight like she was 20.
10:02What about two 50-year-old twins? Does that count as a 100-year-old?
10:05No good.
10:05No.
10:06You talking oldest bags? 68.
10:09That's not that old.
10:10Yeah, but I was only 20.
10:1120? Were you even a cop then?
10:12No, man, it was before I got into the academy.
10:14Rose is the first to catch on and announces the mix-up to the group.
10:18From there, Samberg can barely hold it together, cracking up as Boyle digs himself deeper.
10:24Some fans claim that when Samberg covers his ears,
10:27you can hear him say Joe, as in Joe Latrullio, who plays Charles.
10:31That's someone's grandma!
10:33She was actually, that's how I met her.
10:34From the college with her grandson Marvin.
10:36Don't knock it to your tree!
10:38She had a replacement hit with some serious torque.
10:40His reaction suggests this might be his first time hearing these lines.
10:45We can only imagine he had to make a quick exit before he totally lost it.
10:49I was like having sex with a transformer.
10:51That is no one's fantasy.
10:53Spotted any other arresting moments where the cast broke character on screen?
10:57Book it to the comments and let us know.
10:59I've seen you do enough of these harebrained schemes that are hard to play along.
11:01If Charles asks what's wrong, I'll just put on a coy smile and say,
11:07Nothing.
11:08Amazing. That is actually perfect.
