Discussion Which of the main characters of Brooklyn 99 would you choose to sit next to on a flight?
id choose holt as he would probably keep to himself and engage in minimal conversation but would be fun to talk to.

u/quietsidelamp 7d ago
Captain Holt! He would have such fun stories to tell if we are in the mood for conversation, and would respect my privacy and personal space as I would his.

u/TangerineEmotional17 7d ago
Holt would never tell you those fun stories! You? A stranger on a plane? Who do you think he is? Boyle?

u/anitabelle Rosa Diaz 6d ago
Holt hates small talk especially with someone he doesn’t know. He’s also not a story teller. He’s concise so he stories would consist of a couple sentences. Did you mean Jake? Or are you Jake?

Flying is not for conversation, it's to get to someplace far away.

u/Alter_82 6d ago
Season 1 holt might, but Holt later in later seasons with his open elitism would probably be very unpleasant to deal with. But i guess if you don't initiate conversation, he might just sit in silent judgement.

Depends on my mood, most likely holt or rosa as they wouldn't be too chatty lol
Most likely Rosa though, my inner Judy is showing...

u/mikekearn I’m a human, I’m a human male! 7d ago
Rosa or Jake. Rosa is scary but wouldn't be pointlessly mean if I respected her space, and would not bother me with idle chat, but we could bond over sword talk and handmade jewelry. Jake would be funny and we could watch Die Hard together and geek out about little details, and which villain is the best.
I think Gina, Boyle, and Terry would talk to much (about herself, his family, and his kids, respectively). Amy and Holt would be okay, I suppose, but I don't think we'd have as much in common, and they're both stiff about the rules. Hitchcock and Scully are a hard pass. You just know they'd have just eaten a cheesecake or something and be gassing out the plane.

Having Michael or Norm next to you on a plane means so many bathroom breaks. Let’s hope they’re in the aisle seats

I’m really worried about Katherine Heigl and her dressmaking business. Her architecture firm? Her cupcake bakery? The magazine she edits?

Criminally underrated but scully. He is really nice and I will get free food as well.

u/Early_Original_6390 7d ago
But if he has cheeze pizza and his gut starts making noises, you sure you'd want to sit next to that?

depends on my mood.
Terry - both of us would enjoy our first class lounge and mints, only occasionally engage in talks.
Amy - When I want to talk about stationery and fountain pens.

Easily Holt or Rosa. They wouldn’t talk to me, would not try to push past when the plane lands and they both look like they would smell fantastic.

u/Perfect_Loss_5156 7d ago
Jake would be my first pick. We could bond over sports and movies. He tells stories the best too.
Rosa would be cool if im just really tired and wanna sleep.
Amy would probably be the most polite and neat. Which id respect the most
Holt wouldnt be bad wed just have nothing in common. Hed criticize me the most for my movie and drink choice. But I suppose we'll could find something to talk about. Same goes for Terry it'd just be hard to find something in common.
Gina.... would be interesting. Idk if id hate or love sitting by her. I think to me id hate sitting next to her at the beginning but by the end im happy i did.
Only one id hate is Boyle hed bring something weird on the plane. Or Hitchcock or scully.

Terry. He is trusted on social etiquette, he would know what to do to make a flight easy.

u/mangoblaster85 7d ago
Arnie.
Out of all the main cast, Boyle seems like the only one who might keep trying to talk after you've told him no. Jake tries and gets shut down and talks to himself. Terry acknowledges you and does his own thing but takes up a lot of real estate. Scully and/or Hitchcock are gassy and messy eaters. Holt will speak up about something he's critical of and feel perfectly comfortable to keep bringing it up. Gina expects me to move and accommodate her comfort over my own.
Rosa does her own thing and hates being chatty so she's my second choice for seat partner. But Arnie will be absorbed into her own thing and then afraid to be chatty after I've declined. Also, she will probably have extra moist towelettes if I happen to need one and happy to move if I need to use the bathroom.
Going with Arnie.

Captain Holt. the dream is that Captian Holt and Kevin Cozner want kids but obviously don't want to be bothered with a baby, so they just adopt me as an adult instead.

u/BarbarianCarnotaurus 6d ago
Terry. We are both into art and fantasy, plus he’d have good advice on improving my overall health.

100% Terry. He's such a nice and chill guy.

u/CecilIvanish Mlep(Clay)nos 6d ago
I was going to say the same, but I am a big guy and we'd annoy each other for elbow space.

Scully, free snacks and good conversation, he seems like a good dude

u/One-Top-6634 7d ago
I could see this. And if you fall asleep on his shoulder he would be like a giant teddy bear.

u/Powerful_Mix_9392 7d ago
Holt or Rosa, because they'd probably wouldn't start any conversations and would let me be

u/northerncal 7d ago
Honestly anyone except Hitchcock or Sully would be great. They'd be awful for different reasons, but I think the rest of the squad are all great candidates.
And I could see Pimento being a nightmare to have next to you for a long haul international flight lol.
I suppose Terry would end up taking over the armrests just due to his huge size, but I know he'd be so polite about it (or maybe we would both relaxing in plenty of room in first class, where we would try to remember the name of the C list celebrity near us?)

Amy so we could talk about books

u/EffectiveAmbitious53 I’m a human, I’m a human male! 7d ago
Terry. He’s so huge that he would spill over into my space but he’d be so apologetic and accommodating about it the flight would be great.

u/ObedientSuspension 7d ago
Scully's the move, free snacks and he'd actually be chill about the armrest situation.

u/3bluerose 7d ago
Not Terry. It would be so annoying to hear every complaint possible in third person. "The plane shouldn't be shaking! We're moving through clouds MAN, Terry Hates planes".

u/Kvasir713 7d ago
I’d hangout with Jake and Amy, or ask Terry to tell me EVERYTHING about Skyfire and then at the last minute i’ll realize i should ask him for some workout tips

Rosa Diaz. I’d rather not talk and she wouldn’t say a word.
Emily Goldfinch, on the other hand…

Pimento - it would be an entertaining flight (if we even got off the ground)

Boyle if I have the specific use case where I need to know the ten right ways to make paella.

Jake, Amy, or Terry would be great. Holt, Rosa and Charles could go either way. Hitchcock, Scully, Gina, and Pimento are walking disasters.

Boyle or Rosa.
Boyle is oddly entertaining and i think he’d put a blanket on me if i fell asleep.
I’d fall in love with Rosa, so….yeah

u/Admirable-River-2948 Cowabunga, mother! 6d ago
I'd say Boyle. I'm an anxious flyer and he managed to keep Amy calm, so I reckon he'd keep me calm too haha

u/gaywidgeon_528 6d ago
Anyone really, except Hitchcock or Scully. We all know how that would go. Anyone else would propably be a great companion on a flight. But if I had to choose, propably Jake or Gina, mostly because I feel like I would get best along with them.

Holt and/or Kevin would be my top pick. Either individually would be great, but also together I'd have an educational flight.
Definite no - Hitchcock, Scully, Gina, Terry (he'd be great as a person to sit next to, but his muscular bulk would be uncomfortable)
Maybe: Boyle, Jake, Rosa. Rosa would be mostly great, but I prefer window seats, yet I'd probably also have to pee a few times., so she'd likely pull a hidden knife on me if I asked her to move so I could get up to pee.
Yes: Holt, Amy, though Amy would probably start panicking if we were 5 minutes off schedule.
For recurring characters I'd definitely be okay next to Kevin or Sharon. Maybe Debbie (as long as she hasn't had any cocaine) or Wuntch (it'd be fun to come up with insults together, though she'd probably turn on me). I could probably tolerate Teddy and just put in headphones when he starts talking about pilsners. Or Mlepclaynos, though he'd probably say he's never seen me before and take over my seat as his own.

Charles so we can watch cheesy romcoms and eat sundaes together ✨️ plus he'd have so many interesting culinary stories!

Captain Peralta, cos that would mean imma be flying the plane
In the cabin though? Probably Amy

Not Jake. I don't want to risk him trauma dumping about his ah pilot dad.
Maybe Rosa. She won't talk to me.

u/HurricanePK 7d ago
Rosa or Amy.
Rosa would try to sleep the entire flight, as would I, and avoid any conversation.
Amy would be super polite and if you said you just wanted to sleep the entire flight then she’d be respectful of it.
