A dognapping sends Holt and Kevin spiraling in this week's Brooklyn99, one of the funniest episodes in years. Alan Sepinwall's recap
?) was inspired by the captain — may be the entire series’ most pure synthesis of what Braugher and Samberg can do together. And Samberg’s stilted impression of Jackson is almost as great, particularly as Jake’s trademark “Cool cool cool cool” becomes “Indeed indeed indeed indeed” while he and Kevin have swapped clothes and roles.
The Holt/Jake stuff is so good that it nearly overwhelms the return of this season’s best low-key running gag: Jake hates Wario, mainly because he can’t beat him when he plays. In this case, the dognapper is on the verge of telling Jake how to become Wario in the game when Holt arrives to save the day.
The subplots, meanwhile, are exactly what you want from an episode with such a strong A-story: Each had one or two funny ideas that gave the rest of the cast something to do, without requiring more than the minimum possible screen time to get the joke across. For Amy and Rosa’s attempt to win an expensive stroller in a-style endurance contest, all we needed was the usual dullness of Amy’s ex Teddy, wielded like a superpower.
