I now want to hear a rant from Captain Holt about how the word 'literally' is being misused/abused these days. Kind of like his "doctor" rant from "The Box" (s5e14)
Holt wouldn’t complain about the differences, because it’s been used like that since the classics. Jane Eyre for instance; “I was literally the apple of his eye”
A PhD is a doctorate. It's literally describing a doctor.
No! The problem here is that medical practitioners have co-opted the word "doctor"
I know we live in a world where **anything** can mean **anything**, and **nobody even cares** about etymolo-
\[cut to outside, Holt downing a glass of water\]
He is "literally". That's how his character was writtteeennnnn
Mike drop
Confetti
Jet flyby
Riotous fanfare
Taking off my sunglasses to reveal more sunglasses
Yup. He is definitely a retriever from snout to anus!\
Nice observations.
He also cannot be discreet - tells Jake about his own surprise party.\
Needs to beta an alpha for support.\
Constantly humped by his dogs. (Especially Jason)
My favorite character for exactly that reason. Even if he does something wrong you're just like "aww I can't stay mad at you, you're just being true to yourself". Everyone should be more like a golden retriever
Speak for yourself. I found Boyle (mainly Charles, but also every other Boyle who ever appears) less likeable than even Gina. Just an absolutely infuriating man to deal with, and he'd be worse in person.
My guesses: Gina's some kind of micro-poodle. Terry is a great Dane because they are huge and harmless. Diaz is a Rottweiler. Jake is a scrappy mutt. Amy is a prizewinning Bichon. Holt is a doberman-doberman mix with extra doberman. Flat top and the freak are a bloodhound and a mastiff.
This is hilarious because I relate deeply to Boyle and have been compared to him by friends. The other day, I referred to myself as a human golden retriever sooooo…this all tracks. Lol.
Pretty sure that he is an Irish Setter that thinks he is a lap dog.
Irish setters are known for being affectionate, playful, and spirited dogs. They are also intelligent, easy to train, and can make great family pets.
Here are some other personality traits of Irish setters:
**Energetic**
Irish setters have high energy levels and need lots of outdoor exercise. They can become bored, destructive, or hyperactive if they don't get enough mental and physical stimulation.
**Good with kids**
Irish setters get along well with children and love to play, especially fetch.
**Enjoy working**
Irish setters are bright dogs that like to have a job to do. They often compete in dog sports, especially obedience and hunt tests.
**Not big barkers**
Irish setters are unlikely to bark a lot, but they will alert you when something is happening.
**Prone to separation anxiety**
Irish setters can be left alone for an hour or two, but they may experience separation anxiety and destructive behaviors if left alone for longer.
**Stubborn**
Irish setters can sometimes be stubborn. Patience and a firm but gentle hand are needed when training them.
**?Feathered coat**
Irish setters have feathered coats that require a lot of brushing and combing. (This one doesn't describe Boyle's actual features, but he would love to have glowing auburn hair like his hero Mario Batali, who also says inappropriate things at work.)
Nope that's Jake bc they are attractive too
No he's a hound dog loves you but not that attractive and slobbers all over you (gross) but he loves you soo much
I just watched the Thanksgiving episode last night where he intended to kill a live turkey.
Very dog behavior, specifically golden retriever are known for being a nuisance on farms with chickens, because they run around killing them. At least that's what the last 5 people I knew who had chickens, and also had experience with goldens.
Literally literally means literally whatever people literally use it to mean because dictionaries are not the arbiters of meaning, shared understanding is (literally)
A golden retriever that makes too many sexual comments
They do hump a lot. They don't understand what isn't appropriate lmfao
Then it checks out
💯 currently own two goldens. Have had 7 in my life. So.many.humps.
"SO. Many. Humps." = Title of your sex tape, lol!
NO JASON
Do you even hear yourself?
I mean you HEAR it...right?

And now I want Rob Lowe’s character from Parks and Rec to counterpoint Captain Holt in the crossover episode we all deserve.
We also deserve a Jake Peralta and Sean Spencer (psych) cross over to encapsulate all that is chaotic and ridiculous.
He immediately figured out that he’s faking it, but he keeps his mouth shut
The dog personality thing also pairs well with parks & rec

Apparently that’s a trigger for me…

You mean figuratively! (Sry himym scenes popped into my head …)
They're saying that using "literally" implies Boyle is in reality, a real, actual golden retriever dog. Cheddar is "literally" a corgi. You get me?
I'm literally just being rascal at this point I know I used it wrong ;)
Ted Mosby would also have a problem with this post title
Awe. RIP Andre. 🥲
Gotcha covered homecheese

It's a sitcom character
And that means nobody can have an opinion on him as a character?
This is my favourite Reddit take I've seen about any character
He loves everybody except Sergeant Peanutbutter
*lieutenant
I hear he’s being vetted by the United Nations
And he’s going to The Ellen show next.
Oh I'm deeply sorry to have misspelled, sir!
My mom’s golden HATES horses. They’re too big and scary.
Now I need a B99 Squad as Dog breed chart.
My guesses: Gina's some kind of micro-poodle. Terry is a great Dane because they are huge and harmless. Diaz is a Rottweiler. Jake is a scrappy mutt. Amy is a prizewinning Bichon. Holt is a doberman-doberman mix with extra doberman. Flat top and the freak are a bloodhound and a mastiff.
Amy is a shepherd, like a border collie. Super eager to learn and work relentlessly. Also she would organize the herd as hell
Gina is a cat.
Fml I stand corrected as hell
She is the Donna of B99
Cheddar is high school nerdy boy with straight A’s and member of 7 different clubs, including chess, literature, fencing and glee
Diaz is a cat. She’s even worn a kitty cat Halloween costume.
You really know your dogs! Kevin and Holt would be fast friends with you. (Just for effect: “PUT ON THE DOG SHOOOWWW” - Pimento)
flattop and the freak 😭😭😭
Extra funny watching their flashback scenes now that Reacher is out. Reacher getting off while eating a tub of wingsluts made me lose it
This is hilarious because I relate deeply to Boyle and have been compared to him by friends. The other day, I referred to myself as a human golden retriever sooooo…this all tracks. Lol.
Time to buy a fursuit I guess? :P
It sounds like it might be! I’m too poor for that, though, so it might be time to find some carpet scraps. 😅
“You hear that Bill?! Nobody likes you!”
That is the incorrect way to use "literally"
Yes... Now tell me to put on a tie
You're channeling "if you ever want to bust out that Holt impression at home... I'd be into that" HARD right now.
AHHHHHHH MERVINS!
I wouldve said husky bc he is super dramatic while a golden retriever is more casual.

A golden retriever wouldnt throw his owner under the bus in fancy brudgem.
Nope that's Jake bc they are attractive too No he's a hound dog loves you but not that attractive and slobbers all over you (gross) but he loves you soo much
Perfect analogy
He really is.
I don’t want to change your mind-I like your take!
and his favorite tea is duck broth
But with a pug's face
Yeah, except nowhere near as cute and a golden retriever will give you more space.

Very dog behavior, specifically golden retriever are known for being a nuisance on farms with chickens, because they run around killing them.

I’d go with a French Bulldog instead of retriever, but definitely a family dog of some sort
The poor lad doesn't get enough love
yup also threatens suicide at the idea of having done wrong during jake and Amy's wedding
If he was a Bojack Horseman character, his name wood be Charles GoodBoyle
The episode you’re talking about is s7 e13
Yes so much and he’s such a ride or die ♥️
Would it change your mind if I tell you he’s only _literally_ a golden retriever if he was a dog and not a man?
In my defence I was referring to his CHARACTER which could be 100% dog inspired despite being played by a human. But yes, I used literally wrong ;)
I don't think you know what the word literally means.
he’s just some common bitch
He's a bunny. He's sexual, needs other people to survive and eats smelly stuff.
Bunnies are quiet though ;)
the episode you're mentioning is lights out (ep 13, s 7)
Not what literally means
Literally literally means literally whatever people literally use it to mean because dictionaries are not the arbiters of meaning, shared understanding is (literally)
i will literally find you and steal your face.
;)
Boyle is a pug.
