10 Funniest Brooklyn Nine-Nine Characters

10. Teddy Wells

Definitely not the most dynamically well-versed character when it comes to comedy, but certainly the most unintentionally foolish one - despite his excellent work record and exceedingly professional demeanour - Teddy Wells is a thorn in Jake and Amy's side that seemingly can't be removed.

Starting life as Amy's first major love interest within the series, which if we're being honest we all knew was never going to last, Teddy introduces himself as a force to be reckoned with when it comes to brains, but not brawn and definitely not charm. In fact, he's by far the dullest and most uninteresting human being that's possibly ever been shown on a television screen, but that innate lack of personality is exactly what makes Teddy so funny.

On paper - and in reality - his personality just reeks of something you'd want to stay clear of. His jazz brunches, undying love for the most boring alcohol on the planet, Pilsner, and the way he chooses to spend his weekends, which is marking workplace-related papers, don't make for the most enthralling human being around, do they?

The cherry on the cake, though, is the countless times that he asks Amy to marry him and the circumstances in which he chooses to do so. He could have a bomb to defuse, Jake stood next to Amy, or even his own partner stood next to him.
