Idk how intentional this is but the b99 finale feels like such a subversion of classic sitcom finale tropes. The entire coma scene was a parody of Himym and Will & Grace and comedies that flashforward in the future only to get weirdly sad and dramatic. Amy wearing fake grey streaks in her hair to show aging is a classic flashforward staple. Rosa fake running to Adrian in the airport is definitely a parody of Friends. Jake choosing to step down instead of magically getting the perfect job ever seems like a reference to The Office and P&R. The multiple Bruce Willis jokes referencing getting mega big stars in finales even when it doesn’t make sense. The AirPods thing seems to be a thinly veiled joke about corporate product placement, like how characters from shows who are meant to be poor always have the latest iPhones. The fact that a lot of shows split up their gangs but b99 firmly said nope all of these characters are gonna be in each other’s lives forever. And the thing is none of these things even feel cyclical or mean-spirited because it makes perfect sense in the context of the heist and these specific characters. And there were other moments when they did definitely lean into sentimental sitcom tropes when it made sense for the show. Idk maybe a lot of this is a reach but it’s something interesting I noticed.

NO BUT YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!! there was so much subversion of classic sitcom tropes and especially sitcom finale tropes and it really kept us on our toes but also fit perfectly into b99’s vibes!!!

"The cast stayed in the briefing room for a few minutes and cried and hugged each other," says 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' star Melissa Fumero, who also shares her video diaries from the set.

Pretty much the first person that I hugged and sobbed on his shoulder was Andy. We hugged for a good few minutes, and it was… it was, you know, eight years. It was a lot of sobbing. We had a mutual back-and-forth of, “We did good work here. We feel proud.” I said something like, “We did it! Look what we made!” and “I’m just really proud of us and proud of what we created with these two characters.” It wasn’t just saying bye to Andy — it was saying bye to Jake and Amy, you know? Every time it was a Jake and Amy episode, we would work so hard on it. How can we make the scenes better? How can we find little things that are specific to them? Like him being freaky in bed and role playing — leaning into those things and finding moments to add in.

i’m going to admit: going into this season, i wasn’t as attached to b99 as i used to be. but oh man, this past hour watching the finale was so much fun. it reminded me of how deep my relationship with this show has been over the years — every reference and callback felt like a warm hug and a reminder of all the good times. like i said earlier, i loved getting to experience that live with all of you one last time.

i couldn’t have asked for a better way to end the show. not only was it absolutely hilarious (of course!), but it was also a love letter to us, the fans, and wrapped up in a way that was meaningful for each character. that last scene, showing everyone coming back together for more heists, with the implication that these will continue for many years to come, says a lot. the love these characters have for each other will endure, as will our love for the show and for each other.

i think stephanie beatriz said it best — “thanks to the magical power of the internet and tv, our show does sort of get to continue on forever. a little world frozen in time, where friends are family and everyone tries to make the world a better, more interesting place.”

nine-nine forever. ❤️

“Goodbyes are inherently sad. They mean that something is ending. And this one is specially sad because what we had was so great. But, it’s not all sad, right? We’re moving on to things that we love and we’ll always have the memories of our times together”.

Thank you, Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013-2021)
