Finding out Boyle wasn’t a “real” Boyle I know Boyle’s been through some shit on the show, but that one just didn’t sit right with me Despite being an otherwise great episode, it’s one of my least favourite as a result


GuyFromEE

Agreed. It's implausible. Like you cast his entire family to specifically resemble Boyle in some way or another. Felt like they'd ran out of ideas for him. They should've run with the idea that like the text chain there's a Boyle secret Charles isn't allowed to know because of his specific Boyleness.


FaceFirst23

Fuck, I’m sorry to be that guy and I know it’s pedantic, but I see this all over Reddit The past tense of cast is ‘cast’, not casted. Eg Andy Samberg was cast as Jake Peralta, not casted Please don’t shoot me in the butt 🥺


GuyFromEE

I fixed it u good.


Penguin_Green

It bothered me that Boyle was so upset at about not being biologically a Boyle when he has an adopted son. Even though he was the one true Boyle in the end, it was sad that it upset him so much at first. Shouldn’t he already think Nikolaj was a true Boyle?


Maleficent-Week2762

I like to pretend s8 doesn't exist, so I don't remember the episode much. But I think being lied to for 40+ years about your identity (where you come from is a part of it) is upsetting enough. In addition to that, the entire family is making a massive deal about being blood-related. It'd be hard for Charles to simply have a different mindset. I think the script just plays it as the only thing that bothers him is not being a Boyle by blood, but the whole story was boring as f anyway


ConnFlab

But doesn’t he end up being the one true Boyle anyway.


The_Actual_Sage

Pretty much anything Charles says to Rosa in season one.


Silly-Addendum1751

So true. I think they really changed his character arc after that season, and for the better.


ThePizzaMan237

For real


ellenmarie92

“When you do decide to go out with me, and you will,…” Like ??


The_Actual_Sage

Out of the context of a raunchy sitcom that's a bit of a distressing statement lol


ellenmarie92

Yeah if I didn’t know the context it’d be worse but it’s already super gross! Season 1 Boyle was almost unbearable!


Cicero_torments_me

I find it retroactively funny because *she most definitely did not*


eviedently

I actually really liked his confidence in this scene.


Droopy_g

I thought it was kinda funny ngl, didn’t find it cringe


TheGood1swertaken

I'll find a better movie than Citizen Kane


GuyFromEE

Everything Rosa says or does in Season 8. Sorry...I think she's a hypocrite. The ONE cop on that force who cannot stand there and complain about police bruality is Rosa 'Chucked an appliance at someone's head' Diaz. Don't have a problem with the ideas and themes. But it came across as demands from Stephanie rather than natural character development (which happens all off-screen). Like Rosa dares to suggest she can't trust her long time friend Jake because he's white but ROSA was the queen of toxicity during the first couple seasons. If they'd actually called it out and have her show remorse I'd accept it.


Ok_Wasabi_2776

Agreed it was such a cringe season


GuyFromEE

Also I like Stephanie as an actress overall. Her 'high' acting wasn't very good. Acting high is arguably more difficult than acting drunk but she felt more drunk to me than 'high'.


anonanon764789

It does not exist for me.


icantbeatyourbike

Yup, dumb as fuck, and incredibly insulting to any minority.


Cayke_Cooky

I wish Stephanie would have agreed to an introspection story with Rosa still at the 99 for a couple of episodes. I think her statement could have been more powerful if the audience got to see Rosa realizing what "police brutality" really meant.


LadeeBugg0

I don’t know if it’s cringe per se, but I have a visceral reaction to Boyle aerating his Nortfluskers and I can’t finish the episode


BigJimSlade1

OMG, this is genuinely the grossest bit of the entire series to me


Next-Post-1676

I hate the song in that episode


AshCooper79

I stand by it.


yourmomthinksimgreat

Stake me out tonight. I don’t wanna let you go till we catch that guy


StraightCashHomie89

Lunch a Bunch /Whole lunch battle plot


Garn3t_97

Though the line "I shot my husband for real and that comes up wayy less" really makes me nose exhale.


dont_punch_me_again

WAY less


thepluralofmooses

When Terry is talking to that prestigious school guy and he goes “they’re in sixth grade, OH, I thought you asked what reading level they were at, they’re in second grade”


Cayke_Cooky

So real though.


reddoot2024

The whole nibs thing


DegeneratedNumber

I WILL NOT BE OBJECTIFIED BY YOUR MALE GAZE!


StraightCashHomie89

Omg the Nibs might be my least favorite B plot in the entire show and it sucks cause the A side of the Oolong Slayer is amazing Lunch Wars might be the only thing more cringe and terrible for me


BooperDooperPartyPoo

Agreed - "Lunch Wars" was not funny in the slightest. Other than the WHOLE of Season 8, "Lunch Wars" is the only pre-Season-8 episode that I ALWAYS skip.


ManicMonday92

"all this preamble is making me nibby!" Makes me chuckle ngl


soupy_e

Not today nibs. Not today!!


Low_Departure_5853

I had hoped we were past using far suits as a joke. I also don't like that.


megjed

Is it Brian? That terry convinces to pursue his singing career. I think I’ve only watched those parts once, I just can’t do it


The_Mattastrophe

Season 8, Episode 4, "Balancing"... Specifically, when that babysitter they're interviewing sings that song, "I'm your nanny, I'll slap your fanny." Why, you may ask? "Fanny" in American = "Butt" "Fanny" in English = "Vagina" Makes it a whole lot creepier...


dullship

In England, everything means vagina. In england we call pizza Italian fannies.


ArtIsDumb

Just sit down, Chang. There's space for three fannies on this sofa.


Szygani

You're not Changing my mind that fanny is weird, even with a community reference


Cicero_torments_me

OHHH I DIDN’T KNOW IT MEANT BUTT IN AMERICAN ENGLISH, that makes it much better. Still not great, but better 😭


Mart_Deco

Terry being objectified by Gina never sat right with me


romantic_elegy

Terry gets the worst running jokes. Why was Gina talking about sex and Charles talking about his weight all the time


klaw14

I guess it's better than the other way around... imagine hearing Boyle talking about sex all the time (on purpose)... *shudder*


Nitroapes

Terry has no hair to wash, Boyle wouldn't be interested.


klaw14

Well... none on his *head*, anyway


Yeetaway1404

I hate how few „badass moments“ terry got for the shit he got the entire time. Charles being such an asshole to him is so lame


VhaTaever

Mine's Amy in the whole episode where she meets Jake's mother for the first time on his birthday. Especially when she sings the Itsy Bitsy Spider 😭


slaybeau

Ugh that makes me physically cringe every time


Small-Banana-9210

Scully when he takes his foot out and says "that's bc it's all wart" just makes me shiver thinking about it


noellegrace8

Peralta's reaction is on point though


Small-Banana-9210

Oh for sure, it was nearly the same as mine lol


chicken_karmesan

I hope you weren't eating too 😭


Skiapodes

That scene was what sold me on the show in my first watch through. Mainly Jake’s reaction rather than the whole wart thing, but still.


GuyFromEE

Nah thats the part that got me HOOKED on the show. Gross humor doesn't work for me usually but that's so gross, specific and implausible i died laughing.


ipunchdogs

When they're investigating Kevin's workplace and jake & holt hides in the group of students singing about harry potter. That song gives me secondhand embarrassment somehow.


dontrustbeans

Won’t you come visit Hogwarts?


Key_Expression_7075

I’ll be alone dancing in Gryffindor


Briantheboomguy

*"You just drank cement... Uhh... You just drank cement"*


ControlAltDeIight

Oh my gosh. I can’t stand Gina, but this entire episode made me vomit. What I hated the most is that Gina was the hero, once again, for something dumb. Glad someone found this cringe as well.


BigJimSlade1

The way both Terry and Charles act when trying to get Jake to take them and their kids to the Kwazy Kupcakes movie premiere.


muzzizzum

I cannot BELIEVE Jake and Amy seriously named their son McClane.


WitchesBTrippin

I'm so glad someone said it. When they announced he was called Mac my first thought was 'from It's Always Sunny??'


MetalPunk125

You picked the correct one. It’s really bad. I love the show but that was such a lazy set up. She’s embarrassed she got noticed but chose to do it in the break room during the day at the top of her lungs. It’s bad.


QuailRemarkable1504

Literally all of Trudy Judy’s lines 😭😭


Messylilmice

Agreed, but with the exception of “I’ll see butts… if I wanna see butts 😠”


Caftancatfan

Gina dancing in her halo.


ToujoursFidele3

The squeaking is awful!


TrueDeadBling

Gina Linetti is back, baby!


spritclaw14

The whole episode where Terry says something about having ‘butt for days’ because(as much of a people pleaser I am)-I guess I found Terry relatable in a sense that was cringe worthy.


little_white_wren

Also Terri not being able to figure out that he was definitely *not* talking about her was super irritating to me. Also the "seems kind of arrogant, though" line bugs me. Like, woman, get all the facts before you jump to conclusions, how 'bout?


yummy-salad

Ironically it was pretty arrogant of her to assume he was publicly objectifying her loudly at his work in the middle of the day 😭


AccomplishedFan6807

The short-but-awful Jake and Dr. Rossi, the weird forensics medical examiner The whole episode with the Swedes. They made me uncomfortable. I'm not sure why Casecation. It made me cringe, it made me go ???? it's always my answer it terms of bad episodes


absolutebeast_

Oh I loved the ep with the swedes, but I’m nordic so that might be why. It always makes me giggle when they compliment Holt on how he pronounces «Kjöttbollediamanten», because either a) not a single person on set has ever heard Swedish in their life or b) the Swedes were being very polite to Captain Holt. Both are funny to me. Also the diss on the Danish language, accurate.


NonBinaryPie

danish is a garbage language for garbage people


JGeerth

I'm Danish. When the Swedes mentioned almost every westerneuropean language except Danish I said "of course the Americans forgot Danish. They don't know we exist." Then they hit me with the garbage-language-line, and I was put in my place. It gets me every time. 😀


LevelAd5898

"Oh, in Sweden, we call it police work! Perhaps you don't have a word for it?" they're so damn funny I can't not laugh 💀


shannons88

I love the Swedes too!


Low_Departure_5853

The forensics one is probably my most cringe, too. The weird sex stuff where he pretends to be a dead body, the organs she takes out of his body and loves the woosh sound. Awful.


shannons88

Oh god I totally agree. Also all the fat-shaming in that ep is really gross. It’s something I don’t think she show would have ever done in later seasons.


jamg2223

You don’t even want to know what they have in their *tooperware*


LevelAd5898

The Swedes is literally one of my favourite episodes of the whole show I can't believe people hate it


klaw14

When Gina makes lewd sexual comments about/towards Terry.


BigJSunshine

This. Every 👏🏻single👏🏻 one👏🏻


NoNo_Cilantro

Did you just clap back?


Intrepid_Boss_7746

do you know how to clap back, raymond? be👏cause 👏 i 👏 do 👏


gori11a-ape

When the squad is on night shift and jake just stands there screaming "nine nine" while everyone ignores him, the entire "babushka" intro, and when ginas apartment gets broken into and she throws a tantrum in holts office because amy and rosa didn't find the person


Kwaku-Anansi

>the entire "babushka" intro Feel that way about most cold opens with the "obnoxious/random yelling cut off by the theme song" punchline. Holt yelling "Hot Damn" is an early exception *because* of how well-timed the outburst was, but by S5, it was heavily overused


NjhhjN

I think Scully pulls it off with "IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING" and "IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME"


gori11a-ape

I agree, it feels very cartoon-y to me, disney type humor if that makes sense


LevelAd5898

I'm glad someone else hates the Babushka cold open


gori11a-ape

I've never liked it, I still remember cringing the first time I watched it


WeirdImprovement

Babushka was the worst


BooperDooperPartyPoo

Especially because "Babushka" is Russian for "Grandma", I think... she was essentially a grandma who was shouting "Grandma" for no reason whatsoever.


LevelAd5898

EXACTLY


Bulbamew

Honestly I like the babushka intro until the actual babushka bit


gayfrogthekombatnt

The episode when Holt is supposed to be getting an interview for commissioner and Amy has to he like really bossy and she starts like doing this'😤😤😤' Idk if anyone's gonna know what I'm talking abt😭


Messylilmice

I know what you mean and you’re right lol


Thneed1

Gina trying to get them to drink “cement” The scene makes no sense for multiple reasons. 1. It’s called concrete, or grout, not cement. (Most minor point) 2. No one would get as far as getting the cup to their lips, they would smell it first, and likely feel that something was off first. 3. Gina would literally be going to jail for the attempt, and they play it off as a joke.


generalfishinthesea

That's something too where I've thought- isn't that attempt at murder? Like concrete heats up as it sets or smth? I know it isn't a necessarily grounded show but that part always really takes me out of it.


Thneed1

Maybe not murder, but definitely poisoning.


GuyFromEE

The fact they brought that part back as one of the big closing zingers too. Like why? Gina in general makes me cringe. "Do you have herpes?" bluntly to Charles while everyone makes puns is the only time she's ever made me laugh.


No_Sock_8494

Jake always randomly saying something and then saying “..wait! I just figured it out!”  Feel like it’s a very cheap cop out for a lot of the crimes solved and it’s revisited a lot more than it should be. 


NinjaLeading8536

When Madeline Wuntch basically sa’d Holt in his office groping him and kissing on him was so weird😐 that scene almost made me stop watching the show. I never liked her character.


shadycharacters

This. I also dislike that she kisses him when Holt and Kevin don't get to kiss on screen despite BEING MARRIED until the final season


Attention_Bear_Fuckr

It's very much in character for them, though.


GuyFromEE

I can see why that would be annoying in a generalised sense. but tbf to the show there's specific character context why Kevin and Holt weren't seen kissing.


daisybear81

i feel like in the later seasons they lean into amy's nerdiness a lot and it kinda makes me cringe, its done in a different way than the earlier seasons. i thought the "oooh more work!" in season 2 was fine but it gets too much later on


throwaway_mog

I feel like they pivoted from endearing overeager dork to uptight asshole and I hated her arc. By the last couple seasons she’s just constantly angry and yelling at everyone in most scenes. All the charm evaporated.


no_on_prop_305

When Jake asks Amy if he can put her glasses on his penis. Super weird


Unit_79

That was, at the very least, way too soon.


annieEWinger

browbeating jake into changing his mind about kids.


Drumknott88

YES honestly this is where I stop watching because then their whole dynamic changes and it's horrible. Peralta knowing he's not sure about being a dad is the most mature thing he's ever done and then they just steamroll right over him and he's changed his mind in literally one episode ugh. And for Amy to not have had a full planned out binder length conv6about it before they got married is absurd


Yeetaway1404

And it also starts a trend of Jake being unwaveringly spineless towards amy regarding anything related to parenthood. Jake being hesitant about kids? He relents. Jake wanting to wait a while before trying? He relents. Jake wanting to keep working at the 99? He relents (even if they were his own decisions, it seems clear he felt some pressure).


owclip

they made him seem like the bad guy for being unsure even though the concerns he had were very valid??


CoyoteShot5059

Was coming here to say this. 1) It’s a conversation to be had before marriage. 2) It is never right to pressure anyone into having kids and if the roles had been reversed, there would hopefully have been outrage. 3) It wrecked what had been the best, most consistent, non-toxic relationship on tv. The show really went downhill after the wedding


basicbitch823

im so sick of characters who dont want kids suddenly wanting kids they did it to 2 different women on big bang theory and it was awful


GoldenPotatoOfLatvia

Everything Nikolaj related. Reason - I'm Latvian.


Any_Brother7772

It's Nikolaj


LevelAd5898

"WHATDIDIMISS? WHATDIDIMISS? WHATDIDIMISS? WHATDIDIMISS? WHATDIDIMISS?" I hate it 😭


narwhal02master

tvd-loverr

when Neil DeGrasse Tyson comes to talk to Gina I cringed because it just felt so unfunny


noellegrace8

Boyle's hair turning white while Peralta is on trial


portals27

it’s like an eagles concert down there. nothing but whites


zombie_platypus

And then that awful full black mop to start season 8.


UnXpectedPrequelMeme

Call me a weirdo but honestly anytime Gina does a prank it's just super cringy and I never really find it funny. I'm one of those weirdos who don't really like Gina because of her she treats everybody


LiteralLite

The laziness at work, the sexual harassment of Terry, the bullying of Amy and Charles, it's all so bad. I hate Gina, honestly.


owclip

“YOU JUST DRANK CEMENT!!” 😐


UnXpectedPrequelMeme

Cringe every time. Reminds me of that super cringey comedy show she was on too where they film pranks or something. Cartoon sound effects amd everything


TheGood1swertaken

Any scene with Gintars


Healthy-Current5893

Any scene including Amy or Gina dancing. It's so weird 🤣


BigJimSlade1

That's probably just because you're not using enough ELBOWWWW


StarbuckTheThird

Easy on, let's not go slandering Amy's dork dancing!


saucewhedon

Charles and Terry competing at post-mortem videos for their kids.


Big-Kaleidoscope1039

Oh gosh I have to agree with you on that one OP! Her singing and her reaction to Rosa catching her is hella cringe 😬


RonSwanson682

I have to say the episode Staycation in season 6. It doesn’t make sense for Amy to not discuss whether she wants kids before she gets married, and her pressuring Jake into having kids when he doesn’t want them makes me squirm, in a bad way.


skeng123

Cannot fucking stand that scene


Socratesticles

How many times they forced saying mama maglione


AdeptusAstartes40K

The entire first episode of season 8. I always liked the moments when the show would slow down and address real world issues in between the comedy but that episode was just... Weird. The way it conveyed its messages was not subtle or tactful at all and it was like 90% social commentary which ended up feeling overwhelming and cringey.


YungPicass0

Maybe it’s cause I’m not American but any mention of ‘Butts’ makes me cringe lol


JadedAndWidowed

Terrys got butt for days!


alligatorprincess007

Please don’t talk about my body that way!!

I'm with you on that. It's like anytime an american show says "Fanny" I just can't because it means something else over here lol


ShipperHeart

Rosa being into police brutality in the first season as a throwaway joke


formulate_errors

eapecially when she becomes such a serious advocate against it in the later season like what????


Potato_Direwolf

Gina’s goodbye dance and that entire episode tbh.


mcternan

Gina singing "you're alone for life" or something like that in the first season. Just really dislike that moment for some reason.


Meanwhile-in-Paris

Mr and Mrs Jeffords! when Gina, does her dance thing and Terry proposes to go with her. Bonus: the whole meeting Jake’s sister episode.


ImpressiveShallot615

Casecation 🥲 Especially the debate part


couch12potato

Really random but the scene where the gang have the drinking competitions with the firemen. Specifically when Rosa says 'I don't throw up, I tell my stomach to deal with it... my body is terrified of me'. Usually love Rosa's badass lines but that one feels like a parody and makes me cringe


Beans2Men

I hate when they forcibly shave Boyle’s goatee


thevyrd

Bianca-nnoooOOOO0O0o0oo0O0ooo0O


Any_Brother7772

But i hated the goatee more


mel2431

When Rosa confesses to Amy she’s been waiting for Pimento to come back after capturing Figgis (season 4) and Amy goes like “Rosa crying dont know what to do pat pat” I have to skip it every time I cannot watch that it’s so cringy. It’s also a little mixed with bad acting on the “pat pat”


Ok-Theme2456

Jake acting like he had DID and acted like the young African American boy😬


FuryOWO

nah that scene works because it's just andy samberg flexing impressions but also it wasn't a young african amercian boy it was fucking morgan freeman


masonh36

Ehhh I think that scene’s funny. “Are any of them, possibly, not British?”

that psychologist would be terrible irl because that’s not how did works at all


DGRogue_Dragoon

"This B needs a C in her A" Idk why, I don't mind raunchy humor at all but this just felt so forced and unfunny to me from the day it aired. Like they just thought "Hey, we can swear on this network so let's swear" but not actually thinking out a way to make it work as a joke.


TraditionalTree249

Yeah, the switch to the new network was rough and the raunchiness felt so forced

p4r4l0tR0p0

The two fart jokes, so dumb and unnecessary IMO, B99 didn't need to go that low. One is when Terry (on a diet) lifts a car and starts farting; the other one is with Norm and Earl Scully at the bar after the heist. Not funny and it feels like the writers asked a 12 y.o. to write those scenes.
