Three of the funniest moments in Brooklyn 99

Brooklyn 99 is one of the funniest cop shows to ever grace the airwaves, but with so many funny moments, which are the funniest? We’ve put together a list of the three funniest moments that still have us chuckling from Brooklyn 99.

1. When Rosa got a puppy

Arlo is the puppy handed to Rosa and the hard ass, unemotional Rosa couldn’t help but fall in love with the gorgeous golden retriever. “I’ve only had Arlo for a day and a half, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone is this room and then myself.”

2. Real Ray or Fake Ray

One part of the 99 that is often overlooked is the side-splitting game that Peralta creates during the 99’s weekend away to Charles’ ex-wife’s beach house. Finding a way to bring Holt down to the level of the other detectives and uniting the squad after a less than ideal start to the weekend, Real Ray or Fake Ray has Peralta doing so funny impressions of Holt and gives us a wider look at the world of the 99 outside of the squad room.

3. The Halloween Capers

We know these aren’t standalone moments, but the first Halloween caper (stealing Holt’s medal of valor) and the sequels that follow are truly hilarious moments, especially the reveals that come at the end of each episode. Resulting in the winner being praised as an amazing detective slash genius, and the memes that then followed on the internet.

Saturday Night Live: Making America laugh for over 40 years

There are few more staples on American television than Saturday Night Live. For over 40 years it has been entertaining viewers across the country and has become a breeding ground for some of America’s most famous comedic talent.

The show was created by Lorne Michels, who was also the show’s first head writer alongside Michael O’Donoghue.

Saturday Night Live – or SNL as it has been abbreviated to over the years – immediately struck chord with viewers as it lampooned politicians and well-known public figures in a series of monologues, stand-up routines.

The show first aired on October 11, 1975 and its first cast included now-familiar names like  Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, who would go to start in the Blues Brothers movie a few years later, Chevy Chase, who would appear in a number of comedy movies, and Jane Curtin, who found fame with Kate and Allie and later Third Rock from The Sun.

During its 43-year run, the show has been filmed at the NBC studio at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York. It has so far aired 858 episodes and is currently in its 44th season.

Ratings for Saturday Night Live were not available until the late 1980s, although the show was already hugely popular by then. Viewing figures reached their peak between 1991 and 1993 when an average of over 12 million people tuned in each week. They dipped somewhat after that as competing shows and platforms ate into their ratings and their figures dipped to below 7 million for the first time in 2008.

However, given the prevalence of the internet and sites such as YouTube, SNL has rallied in recent years and still enjoys relatively healthy ratings of over 8 million.
