Each Brooklyn Nine-Nine Lead Ranked From Worst To Best
2. Jake Peralta
Ever since departing from Saturday Night Live, Andy Samberg has carved out an excellent career for himself, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine helped to give him a structure to apply the character choices he has made throughout his career.
Jake is an enigma of a character, because every element of what he does should be annoying or destructive, but it never comes across that way. His more goofy moments always feel natural because it's clear that he is comfortable with his quirks.
However, the most prominent achievement the show made in regards to Jake is that they allow him to be good at his job. In many scenarios, the childish goofy character is presented as a complete loser who struggles to cope or succeed in life. Jake contrasts this because he is a gifted police officer, and that makes watching him all the more compelling.
Andy has cemented himself as a comic with his performance as Jake Peralta and officially made the character he will be best known for, that is why he ranks so highly on this list.
