10 Funniest Brooklyn Nine-Nine Characters
3. Adrien Pimento
A man who belongs in a police station, and not on the employment side of one, Adrien Pimento is by far the most rambunctious, cathartic and outright destructive mad man this side of the law. Sorry, Howling Mad Murdock, you have been dethroned, sir.
When he isn't freaking people out with his completely erratic mood swings that resemble an incomprehensible psychopath during a game of bobbing for apples, Pimento's normally showing just how aggressive you can be when being transgressive.
His utilitarian methods range from cocaine exploitation to severe beatings, like the ones he received himself for years after being inducted into the mafia during an undercover investigation. One that lasted 12 years and caused him some serious social problems. Even though snorting cocaine and dealing out pain are a little intense, it's the moments between him and Rosa Diaz that are hilarious with a major emphasis on cringe humour.
After Pimento eventually turns her down, before U-turning on that too (because that's just the sort of guy Pimento is), he begins to juxtapose himself as this conscientious man whose attempts to be normal end up resulting in him going down some of the funniest avenues ever paved.
