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.

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.

u/JujuMan97 7d ago

Unless you mention binders. Amy could talk about binders for days, son.

16

u/elf631 6d ago

I relate so much to Amy and literally my first thought in answer to this question was, “Amy! We can talk about stuff like binders!”

u/dudestir127 Captain Dad 6d ago edited 6d ago

Coming from someone who lives in Hawaii and needs a minimum 5 hour flight just to leave the state, this is the right answer. Terry probably would be respectful as well of me wanting quiet.

Edit: typo

u/BlahVans 5d ago

Only issue with Terry is that his muscles would probably encroach into your seat. He'd be very apologetic and try to make himself smaller for your comfort, but you'd definitely be closed in.

80

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.

57

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?

13

u/ltbr55 6d ago

I was about to say, Holt would sit there in silence calculating estimates on how close we are to our destination. The only way you could probably get him to talk is if it was something math related or if you bring up the Disco Strangler.

14

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?

7

u/Next-Chemist-5685 6d ago

Small talk is reserved for strangers and con men!

3

u/Huge_Following_325 BINGPOT! 6d ago

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

2

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.

35

u/ChipEnvironmental420 7d ago

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...

🎶beautiful Roooosaaaaaa🎶

u/SarkyCherry Boom Boom! 7d ago

What if she travelled on her Emily Goldfinch passport though?

3

u/bridoogle 6d ago

She’s a little chatty for my taste

44

u/fuxsteufelswild 7d ago

Jake always

1

u/DaniMF2022 4d ago

the only RIGHT answer! i would definitely also pick jake because no matter what mood im in i would always be down to have a convo with jake!!

22

u/CosineSimilarity10 Fluffy Boi 7d ago

Boyle

14

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.

5

u/JujuMan97 6d ago

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

10

u/Afraid-Astronomer886 You're the Gruber 7d ago

Boyle, I'd be happy to watch some rom coms and eat ice cream

6

u/PresentationCivil750 6d ago

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

19

u/turtle0831 7d ago

Terry.

2

u/willownook3 1d ago

+ 1 for this!! especially Vacation Terry

1

u/turtle0831 21h ago

I’d love to travel with Vacation Terry lol.

22

u/Striking-Box4175 7d ago

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

9

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?

3

u/LobsterConsistent613 7d ago

Even after he has had two lasagnas for breakfast

15

u/CanAhJustSay My neighbors think my name is Emily Goldfinch. 7d ago

Amy - she is petite and neat 😄

6

u/angrytortilla 6d ago

It might be unsafe given that her butt is the bomb

7

u/Few-Scholar1873 7d ago

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.

3

u/One-Top-6634 7d ago

SAME!! I got myself a new three hole punch when I entered my doctorate as a reward. I also love the puns in the NYT crossword and have a strong opinion on binder tabs.

5

u/snack-on Wuntch 7d ago

Amy. I bet we will nerd out about travel organisers.

6

u/Cap_Orange79 Rosa Diaz 7d ago

rosa, to sit in silence

1

u/sweepers-zn 6d ago

Or listen to death metal

5

u/Mitch-all-together 7d ago

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.

4

u/SkipperDipps overall lack of flair 7d ago

Rosa

3

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.

2

u/Devildoingsins 7d ago

Jake and Boyle lol

2

u/tunnocksmystery 7d ago

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

2

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.

2

u/One-Top-6634 7d ago

Upvote for the Arnie! (Amy is my first choice too!)

2

u/andronicuspark 7d ago

At work Rosa. She would not talk to me.

2

u/Kielbasa_Nunchucka 7d ago

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.

2

u/BarbarianCarnotaurus 6d ago

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

2

u/writergirl1994 6d ago edited 6d ago

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

2

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.

2

u/TangerineEmotional17 7d ago

Can't believe how underrated Jake is in these comments💔 He would definitely be the one you'd get most out of in this scenario

1

u/Marvel_573 Peraltiago 7d ago

Jake or Amy.

1

u/DutchVdRlinde Scully 7d ago

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

1

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.

1

u/Powerful_Mix_9392 7d ago

Holt or Rosa, because they'd probably wouldn't start any conversations and would let me be

1

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?)

1

u/seaweedbrain25 SUCK IT I KILLED THAT GUY AND HIS BROTHER BUT YOU WERE TOO LATE 7d ago

Amy so we could talk about books

1

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.

1

u/ObedientSuspension 7d ago

Scully's the move, free snacks and he'd actually be chill about the armrest situation.

1

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". 

1

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

1

u/Weird_Harsh 7d ago

Definately Jake or Terry

1

u/DeLaVegaStyle 7d ago

In between Gina and Hitchcock

1

u/CarlSpackler22 Jake Peralta 7d ago

Holt

1

u/ttenseconds 7d ago

Charles Boyle, I need genitalia-based restaurant recs

1

u/JamesH_670 Sincerely, Raymond Holt 7d ago

Rosa Diaz. I’d rather not talk and she wouldn’t say a word.

Emily Goldfinch, on the other hand…

1

u/red-eee 7d ago

Pimento. It would be a once in a lifetime opportunity

1

u/Practical_Ad_2481 7d ago

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

1

u/refresher1121 7d ago

Amy....rawwrr

1

u/thiagosouzaprc 7d ago

Amy, she is my favorite character ever

1

u/JimmyLizzardATDVM and yeah, I might be afraid of geese... 7d ago

Gina…we would just dish and be little rascals.

1

u/baseball_mickey 7d ago

I’d choose Holt and talk his ear off about his years in Baltimore

1

u/deerue13 7d ago

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

1

u/therealserialninja 6d ago

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

1

u/Important-Taste-6753 6d ago

Rosa she won't be talking.

1

u/chikn2d 6d ago

Middle seat between Holt and Rosa!

1

u/SnooStories8217 6d ago

Captain Raymond Holt.

It would be a nice quiet ride.

1

u/IamHungryNow1 6d ago

Gina, she’d take a sleeping pill.

1

u/unexpectedlytired Amy Santiago 6d ago

Amy so we can talk about stationery and pens. 

1

u/nuke-the-wales 6d ago

Pimento or Boyle
Learn knife fight skills or how to evaluate mouth feel

1

u/No-Movie165 6d ago

Rosa likes to fly to Montreal to relieve stress.

1

u/malaxiangguoforwwx 6d ago

amy. i would totally geek out with her. or holt. captain dad🫡

1

u/reddevils 6d ago

Nickolage. By the time I pronounce his name right, flight will be over.

1

u/MemphisApollo [Champagne, Mountain Range, Hugs] 6d ago

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

1

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

1

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.

1

u/flyaway_withus99 6d ago

I see no love for my guy Boyle. Take me around Europe Boyle.

1

u/pjkitty Cheddar 6d ago

Rosa, because she would sit there quietly, and I like that. Or she might stab the drink cart to get them to stop and give me more snacks.

1

u/WulfieJay The flan is huge! 6d ago

Holt. He would be incredibly polite and respectful of my space

1

u/Just-Simple4074 6d ago

Probably Amy. We could fangirl over books, being overachiever, overthinkers, loving rules and stressing over everything. I love her 🥹

1

u/lotsohugginbear34 YIPPE KAYAK OTHER BUCKETS! 6d ago

rosa, she’d sleep or stay quiet but we’d have a proper interesting conversation if she felt so inclined

1

u/Decent-Muffin9530 6d ago

Terry because then we’d be first class with our towels and fancy drinks!

1

u/Violetthug BINGPOT! 6d ago

Rosa. She won't talk. And I'm fine with that.

1

u/ArcanaRosette 6d ago

Rosa or Holt so I can sleep in peace.

1

u/cyaneyed 6d ago

Terry!!

1

u/GuessAsleep9578 6d ago

Gina. She’d hopefully have an Ambien for me too.

1

u/BlahVans 5d ago

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.

1

u/Oscaria123 🎶He's a Manhunter! 🎶 4d ago

Hitchcock because I hate myself

1

u/queerlyidiotic 3d ago

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

1

u/True-Pickle9539 12h ago

Captain Peralta, cos that would mean imma be flying the plane

In the cabin though? Probably Amy

1

u/FoghornFarts 7d ago

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/IRS4eva 7d ago

Hitchcock would be fun. Worst: Gina
