Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Every Character Ranked Worst To Best

8. Adrian Pimento

Brooklyn Nine-Nine Amy Santiago

Where to even start with this guy? Adrian Pimento spent twelve years undercover with a violent mob, and upon returning to normal police duties was portrayed as psychologically disturbed and emotionally volatile.

Actor Jason Mantzoukas deserves applause for his comically intense and frequently unpredictable performance, as it could well have been that Adrian was nothing but an over-the-top, cartoonish addition to the show (which, yes, is saying a lot) without him.

Between his twisted relationship with Rosa Diaz and the way he continuously shows up in dangerous and just plain bizarre situations, Adrian is the most insane and off the wall character in the show, and it's really all the better for it.

Adrian is unhinged, hilarious, lacking social etiquette and always ramps the insanity up to eleven when he shows up on screen.

Here's to hoping he gets a happy ending in the final season, though. He deserves to catch a break...
