Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Season 4

Coral Palms, Part 1

1. Jorma Taccone, (who plays Taylor, the manager of the Fun Zone) and Andy Samberg are both members of hip hop group, The Lonely Island.
2. "Frank's Fun Zone" is actually the Golf N Stuff in Norwalk, CA.
3. The woman who records Holt and Peralta getting hit by go-carts graduated from Dan Marino High (Marino was a QB for the Miami Dolphins) and also lives on Shula Lane (Don Shula was the coach of the Dolphins during most of Marino's career).
4. Terry Crews (Sgt. Terry Jeffords) and Maya Rudolph (US Marshall Karen Haas)starred together in Idiocracy (2006) as President Camacho and Rita respectively.

Coral Palms, Part 2

1. Jim O'Heir (Sheriff Reynolds) was a regular on Parks and Recreation, another show by Micheal Schur. Dan Goor and Chelsea Peretti have writing credits.

Coral Palms, Part 3

1. The storage unit where Holt sews up his leg is named Csonka Storage, named for Larry Csonka, a famous Miami Dolphins football player.
2. Kent Shocknek spent the first stages of his career as a Los Angeles news anchor and has frequently played the part in several movies and television shows, including Slade Austin in the cold open of this episode.

The Night Shift

1. After Boyle starts playing the song "All Night Long", Peralta says "The night shift won't slow us down". The name of the album the song is from is "Can't Slow Down".
2. First episode to feature Charles repeatedly and pompously correcting people (in this case, Jake) on the pronunciation of his adopted Latvian-born son's name, Nikolaj.
3. Prior to the Brooklyn Nine-Nine-New Girl crossover, Stephanie Beatriz and Jason Mantzoukas have participated in the 2015 Young Storytellers festival with Max Greenfield.
4. Part one of a crossover with New Girl (2011), which continues in that show's episode Homecoming (#6.4). The first thing Jess Day (Zooey Deschanel) says alludes to this when she tells Jake that her car is a Crossover.

Halloween IV

1. Captain Holt, who is known for never making or understanding pop culture references, quotes Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory when he says,"You get nothing, you lose. Good day, sir!"
2. In this episode, the running joke "BingPot!" makes a return. It was first uttered accidentally by Jake in Season 2 episode "The Chopper" (2015), when he tried to say "Bingo" but changed his mind to "Jackpot" mid-word.
3. When Amy confronts Jake for eating pizza for breakfast, he defends himself by shouting "when pizza's on a bagel you can have pizza anytime!" This phrase is the longtime slogan for the popular kids' freezer snack Bagel Bites.
4. Though there has long been rampant internet speculation on the subject since the initial airing of this episode, Chelsea Peretti's front teeth are not missing or removable. The show's effects department implemented a classic stage trick - with a modern twist - to pull off the deception: during filming, Peretti's front teeth were painted black. Then during post-production, the teeth were digitally removed completely, and her tongue was made visible where the teeth would normally be.

Monster in the Closet

1. Gina leaves the house without the rain stick and yet has it in the car with her moments later.
2. The bar where Rosa and Adrian are to be married is the same bar set used in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
3. Adrian Pimento wastes no time in correctly deducing that the pawn shop owner stole all the shop's merchandise and then intentionally burned the place down to cover her tracks and collect insurance money. In a later episode, Pimento resurfaces as an insurance investigator, where he wrongly accuses Boyle of setting his food truck on fire for an insurance payout.

Mr. Santiago

1. When Boyle comes out dressed in plastic, he says he feels like Dexter. Jimmy Smits, who plays Amy's father, was also in season 3 of Dexter (2006).
2. Amy's dad mentions that Jake is not allowed within 500 feet of Taylor Swift. This was first referenced in S4E2 'Coral Palms: Part 2' in which Jake tells Captain Holt that he was once arrested/detained at a Taylor Swift concert.

Skyfire Cycle

1. Kevin is correct about the math problem, it's a common game theory question. As he explains the initial choice of door is based on a 1/3 probability. The probability remains in thirds after the first door is opened, the key point being that the game show host must reveal a door you've not chosen, so the probability of the prize being behind the unchosen, unopened door increases to 2/3. In short, the Monty hall problem is to pick 1/3, to switch 2/3.
2. First time the Boyle family's compulsive "I love you" back and forth is featured. It becomes a running joke.
3. Terry not only always wears suspenders at work but is clearly wearing them when Jake asks him if he wants to go with him to question Parlov's ex-assistant, but when he shows up to help he just happens to not being wearing them when Jake trips and pulls down his pants.

The Overmining

1. According to an interview on Vulture, the Dianne Wiest cold open was Andy Samberg, Joe Lo Truglio, and Michael Schur's favorite.
2. First use of recurring joke "ya boring!"

Captain Latvia

1. When Captain Holt thanks the choir audience he mentions that what he said was a bomb, wasn't actually a bomb, but instead a clock that was made by a student. This is in reference to a real life 2015 incident in which a clock made by student inventor Ahmed Mohamed was mistaken for a bomb. It was widely reported that the mixup was a result of racial/religious profiling.
2. Gina Linetti says that she has tickets for "Hamilton". Lin-Manuel Miranda, who stars in "Hamilton", would later go on to play Amy Santiago's brother David in season 6.

The Fugitive, Part 1

1. This was the series' first hour-long episode.
2. Jake's speech when Holt tells the squad about the manhunt is from The Fugitive (1993).
3. Angela Stojanovski (The Slavic Woman) is saying 'kanalizatsiya, which is Russian for 'sewer'.

The Fugitive, Part 2

1. Every previous Doug Judy episode features a scene in which Doug gives Jake a new outfit to wear and they walk out of a building together in slow motion while a classic hip-hop song plays. This episode reverses that: Jake gives Doug an NYPD windbreaker to wear.
2. When they say goodbye, Jake and Doug Judy call each other "Fievel" and "Poppa," respectively. This is a callback to the first Judy episode, "Pontiac Bandit" (2014), when the two bonded over "An American Tail: Fievel Goes West" (1991).
3. Doug Judy introduces Jake as lawyer "Carl Mangerson," a take on his normal alias for Jake, "Mangy Carl."
4. Early in the episode while talking to Boyle about his constant texting, Gina comments about how she would rather be hit by a bus than read another text from him. This foreshadows how at the end of the episode Gina is hit by a bus reading a text from him.
5. When Jake and Holt are about to enter the Judy's house, Jake cocks the gun just like Doug Judy showed earlier in the episode.

The Audit

Serve & Protect

1. Boyle says "Desperate times call for Desperate Housewives". Nathan Fillion who appears in this episode played Adam Mayfair in Desperate Housewives.

The Last Ride

1. Jake and Charles try to take down a man named Dom who leads a group of street bike racers. A clear reference to the "Fast & Furious" movies about a group of car racers led by a man named Dom.
2. When Santiago is talking to Holt about continuing to mentor her, it's revealed that she wears her watch just like he does, showing that she learned it from his mentoring.
3. While riding a bike Jake attempts to make a jump and crashes, much like his character in the movie Hot Rod often does.
4. Jake yells "kee-yaw" in a flashback, a phrase used several times in the the song The Karate Guy by his group The Lonely Island.

Moo Moo

1. Wilhelm Scream when Jake and Amy start phone call with Scully and Hitchcock (08:44).
2. Early in the episode, when Terry screams about having a big problem, Amy asks if it's a real life or math problem. Terry snaps "Why would I have a big math problem?" Amy replies "I've seen it happen." This is a reference to the earlier episode "The Skyfire Cycle," wherein Captain Holt and his husband Kevin are having an argument stemming from the Monty Hall Problem.

Cop-Con

1. At the end of this episode the show flashes a picture of what they suggest is Rochester. The clip is actually of the locally famous Fourth Avenue Theater in downtown Anchorage, Alaska. This building withstood the infamous 1964 Earthquake, and continues to be a center piece to the downtown area today. The clip is shot from the corner of 4th Avenue, and F Street.
2. Scully, Joel McKinnon Miller, and his love interest Cindy Shatz, Audrey Wasilewski, both previously worked on Big Love (2006); him as Don Embry and her as Pam Martin.

Chasing Amy

1. Gina is pregnant during this episode. She is wearing large clothing to cover the bump.
2. Episode title references the Kevin Smith movie, "Chasing Amy"
3. The voice Rosa uses when she pretends to be Amy, is much closer to Stephanie Beatriz's real life voice, as opposed to lower voice she uses as Rosa Diaz.
4. When Terry says "funnest" he is actually correct. The standard rule for comparatives and superlatives is that with words of one syllable, you add -er/-est, two or more syllables are "more"/"most". However, more/most fun is so commonly used, most people think it is correct.

Your Honor

1. In the parking garage there are two police cars visible during the conversation between Gina and Amy. One has the license plate 8675, the other 3099. 867-5309/Jenny is the name of a song by Tommy Tutone.
2. Jake Peralta discovers that George is actually Holt's mother's lover. When confessing this to Holt, Jake uses the phrase "mother lover". In 2011, Andy Samberg (who plays Peralta), as part of the comedic music act, The Lonely Island, and Justin Timberlake collaborated in a song called "Motherlover" about forgetting Mother's Day and how best to resolve the issue.

The Slaughterhouse

1. First time Hitchcock and Scully mention their favorite restaurant, Wing Slutz.
2. In the beginning of the episode, the street name is misspelled as "Mantauk" instead of "Montauk".
3. First appearance of Lt. Melanie Hawkins.

The Bank Job

1. The jazzercize studio Diaz, Peralta and Holt are seen talking in is called Razzmatazz which is the name of the horse Holt is betting on in his flashback during Brooklyn Nine-Nine: USPIS (2014).
2. Pimento complains that his private detective gig is suffering in part because of poor Yelp! reviews, including at least one saying he has a "weird energy." Later, Rosa - to whom Pimento is engaged - describes him to Lt. Hawkins as "good looking guy, weird energy."
3. Chelsea Peretti is pregnant in real life. She is the second main cast member to be pregnant during production, but the first to have her character become pregnant simultaneously. (Melissa Fumero was pregnant during Season 3, but her character, Amy Santiago, was not. The showrunners utilized a great deal of camera/set piece trickery to mask her belly, and ultimately made her "fake pregnant" during a story where she went undercover.)
4. The complete Baby Names.doc: Volcano, Tibia, JerHonor, Concretius, The Enigma, Bünis, Arrow, Chicago, Mortadella, Vestibule, Quartz, Protein, Mitochondria, Filament, Ricket, Slalom, Bratt, Slingo, Uranus, Kaiser, Rickshaw, Cosmos, Solaris, Frangipane, Lisbon, Devil, Langostine, Knoxville, Danchard, Robit, Three-Two, Doctor, Emancipated, Paprus, Zeppelin, Butyl, Sissel, Arsenic, Gauche, Blade, Shank, Jagger, Breeze, Ziggy, Zinc, Tungsten, Rian, Guac, and Cadmium.
5. The plot point where the cops are led to the wrong bank resembles the plot of the 87th Precinct novel "Let's Hear It For The Deaf Man" by Ed McBain.
6. When Amy is trying to pretend that she didn't think Gina was pregnant, in a fluster, she sings, "down in kokomo." Kokomo was the big hit that came out of the movie, Cocktail, and Gina Gershon (who plays Lt. Hawkins) was in Cocktail.

Crime & Punishment

1. The farmhouse in this episode is the same one used in The Office (2005) as Schrute Farms. Both shows were created by Michael Schur (who also played Mose Schrute on The Office, where almost all of his scenes were filmed at the farm location).
2. Rosa says she is going to Argentina, the actress who plays Rosa, Stephanie Beatriz, was born in Argentina.
3. Things learned about Terry from repeated computer hacks: -Full name: Terrance Vincent Jeffords -loves the music of Natalie Imbruglia -he writes "Madam Secretary" (2014) fan fiction -he modeled rain wear while a starving student in Japan -he had a gig dancing to 90s hip-hop, "In Living Color" style, on MTV's "Da Basement" -he shops online for anklets for men, which he apparently buys in bulk
4. Jake is apparently a fan of new age singer Enya, particularly her most popular song "Orinoco Flow" (Sail Away), which plays when he grandly enters the courtroom.
5. There are no end credits, and the production company idents play out silently.
