10 Best Brooklyn Nine-Nine Cold Opens

9. Amy Can't Help Herself

Captain Holt has a lot of personal rules you need to follow if you're going to work under his command. Many of them relate to fonts, colors of pen and cleanliness. He's also got some serious hang ups about doing your job correctly and filling in all your paperwork properly.

The man is just plain crazy.

Another one of his rules is about presents, specifically that he doesn't want any. Christmas. Birthdays. National Police Captains Day, which may or may not be a thing. Still, Holt does not want people trying to gain favor by buying him presents, a rule that may have been slowly driving Amy insane.

Every the Olympic level brown noser, Amy Santiago was constantly looking for ways to give her mentor a gift. All of them backfired, but none more spectacularly than the time she left an unmarked package on Captain Holt's desk. She thought being sneaky would help. Instead, it instigated bomb procedures in the department.
