10 Best Brooklyn Nine-Nine Cold Opens

5. Jake Pranks Hitchcock II

While Jake has many defining qualities, stubbornness is high up on that list. The reality is that he does not give up on anything easily, something Terry has been dealing with for years. Trying to get Jake to take time off of work is a full time job on its own.

The same is true of his mission to prank Hitchcock. The classic "Putting a Sleeping Person's Hand in Warm Water to Make Them Pee Themselves" trick didn't work out well when Hitchcock almost drowned in the bowl. But then Jake went even more basic, simply tying Hitchcock's shoes together while he was once again asleep in the break room.

There's no way that could go wrong, right? Nope, still wrong.

When Jake returned to the break room moments later, he found Hitchcock once again at death's door with his shoes wrapped around his throat by the laces. Hitchcock somehow ended up strangling himself with his own shoes while asleep. This was confusing and impressive at the same time.
