Pick your flavor with these two Die Hard-inspired Brooklyn Nine-Nine trailers
Aux Features Coming Distractions
It’s a big day for Jake Peralta: Not only is he appearing in a trio of new trailers for Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s return to the airwaves (courtesy of NBC), but he’s also getting to live out a fantasy that is legally distinct from Die Hard—which, as viewers will recall, is his all-time favorite. As it turns out, the fantasy is actually Jake’s vision for a new recruitment ad, and while the main part of the trailer is the same each time, the clips end on a different gag. In the first, Jake suggests saving money by cutting Terry Crews’ character (which we’re going to assume is a meta-gag about the show’s real budget). In the second, he lets Captain Holt take over for a very no-frills ad that cuts directly to the chase without any unnecessary flashiness. The third is supposed to be released at some point tonight, and it will most likely have another fun gag.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine premieres on NBC on January 10.

Sadly, the Nakatomi Plaza wedding cake does not return.
It does return – in the belly of Cheddar, The Corgi.
Or some other, common bitch.
I can’t think of the phrase “common bitch” without getting this song stuck in my head.
Attention. Everyone.Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a television show. It premieres on the as-yet not-defunct National Broadcastiong Corporation network next year. The precise date of said premiere will be January tenth. The year of this premiere will be 2019. The episode will air at 9:00 PM. Tardiness will not be excpected… Nor accepted.Enjoy your winter holiday celebrations.That is all.

Dirtside. That was excessive and uncalled for.
Screw that. Screw that. Get some. Get some. Get some.
In gratitude for your service, please accept this offering of a plain bagel and water.
I prefer unflavored gelatin with nutritional supplements. But I accept your attempt in the spirit it was intended.
Haha Captain Holt misplet expected.Dammit it’s catching.
Welcome to Kinjaland. Where nothing could possib-lie go wrong.
I would like to say that’s the first thing that has ever gone wrong in Kinjaland. But that would be a lie.
The second one is clearly the superior spot. All we ever need is Andre Braugher’s loving monotone.
Andre Braugher needs to start a career in narration. “An Inconvenient Truth 3 narrated by Andre Braugher” would be amazing.
If it’s a budget issue, we can just cut Gina…..
John McClane never had a shoulder holster on while just in his tank top, at any point in the movie.
He does in Die Hard with a Vengeance. But more importantly, this isn’t Die Hard 1 or 3, this is a legally distinct fantasy.
All I want is a B99/The Good Place crossover where it’s revealed that Kevin Cozner and Shawn are the same person. Michael Schur, make it happen, you know you can.
I keep forgetting this show was never on NBC in the first place.
