5 Iconic TV Sitcom Cold Opens From The 2010s
2. Brooklyn 99 - The Acapella Line Up
Tell me why? Okay we all knew this was going to make the list. Not only is this scene ICONIC but it's also had a life of it's own as a clip on YouTube - millions of people have watched it, probably repeatedly.
In case you have a heart of stone and have not seen it however...
Brooklyn 99 is a current police procedural sitcom staring the always brilliant Andy Samberg. B99 boasts a ton of hilarious cold opens but this one definitely takes the cake.
Jake and his witness are standing on one side of two sided glass staring at five suspects. Jake asks the lady to identify the suspect, but she tells him she can't, for she had only heard him... singing. SO, of course the smart thing to do is get all five witnesses to sing the exact same song she'd heard - I Want It That Way by The Backstreet Boys but unlike in real life, Jake gets a little bit too into it.
Listening to Jake and the five intimidating, but confused, suspects belt out the lyrics to that song is trippy as hell, and you definitely forget what they're actually there for... that is until the witness points to number five and reveals in a sombre voice - number five killed her brother.
