Created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a police procedural sitcom that focuses on a group of New York Police Department (NYPD) detectives, who engage in numerous adventures and always find themselves in hilarious situations. The critically and commercially acclaimed show is praised for its humor, writing, diverse cast, and portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters. While all the characters in the show are hilarious in their own right, Charles Boyle is an iconic character who steals the screen with his memorable quotes. Played by Joe Lo Truglio, Boyle’s manner of seriously speaking his quirky quotes is what makes it even more laughable. Here are 10 such iconic quotes.
"You can't make bread with pride", and other iconic quotes from Charles Boyle in Brooklyn Nine-Nine
1. “Sexy train is leaving the station. Check out this caboose.”
Charles Boyle in Brooklyn Nine-Nine has some of the most hilarious reactions to day-to-day investigations. Even if he is goofy and comes across as underconfident some of the time, there are other times when he does let out his inner confident persona and delivers some of the most hilarious and wackiest one-liners. His witty remarks are always sudden and quirky, which makes it even more comedic. When he does get his confidence boost, he utilizes it to the fullest and morphs into someone who is not shy to use physical comedy and display his antics. Some of his most memorable moments include the time when he announces in front of the squad in a sudden manner the above quote, “Sexy train is leaving the station. Check out this caboose.”, and then later proceeds to add, “later slu*s”. There is also the time when he breaks into a singing rapture and sings, “If you like Pina Coladas”, while investigating a crime scene.
2. “Do I look like Jake to you!... then why are you trying to scr*w me?”
Brooklyn Nine-Nine is one of the most hilarious shows, and each character brings a certain charm and comedic ability to the screen. Charles Boyle is one such character who always ensures that any scene he is in, he will deliver a questionable line, which will become a memorable quote. During one such episode, Charles is supervising Amy as she is trying to make bread. Boyle decides to get into the persona of a tough chef and repeatedly asks Amy to make the bread again, and gets angry with her. He finally lets go of this gem when he asks Amy if she thinks that he is Jake. When Amy denies, he hits her with the hilarious one-liner, “Do I look like Jake to you!... then why are you trying to scr*w me?”, which is sure to make the fans and the viewers of the show laugh out loud. The one-liner just proves that Boyle also has some sass in him.
3. “We delay our decisions until the universe makes them for us. That way, we never make the wrong choice.”
While most people believe in grabbing destiny and making the most of their life because no one else will do it for them, Charles Boyle from Brooklyn Nine-Nine has a different outlook. Boyle is known for delivering not just quirky quotes but also imparting unique life pearls of wisdom to his colleagues at the police station. From one generation to the other, the ancestors of Boyle have made it a point to believe in never making a decision for themselves and letting the universe do its own thing, which they believe is the right thing anyway. The Boyles believe wholeheartedly in the universe and trust it to make the decision for them. Therefore, in one of the episodes, Boyle delivers this masterfully hilarious and brilliant advice, “We delay our decisions until the universe makes them for us. That way, we never make the wrong choice.”, as a way of letting go and letting the masters of destiny take over. While it might not be the best advice for someone who believes in working hard, it does echo a sense of freedom and letting go. Matter of fact, Boyle believed in it and has still been able to make a career and a life for himself.
4. “You can’t make bread with pride.”
While most of the time Charles Boyle from Brooklyn Nine-Nine tries to pass witty aphorisms that make no sense in actuality, there are times when even he surprises everyone and casually mentions something that is actually full of wisdom. The above quote is one such example. Boyle says this in season 4, episode 18, when Gina happens to get a Boyle family inheritance and decides to make money through Charles. While the deal falls through as Gina burned the dough needed to sell it to Boyle, the witty character decides to throw this gem of wisdom, “You can’t make bread with pride.”, at the right moment. Indeed, in this case, as in life, pride does not get people anywhere, and especially when one has to make a living, it is best to stay honest and truthful. The quote is a welcome departure from Boyle’s usually nonsensical quotes that revolve around giving up.
5. “Texting, that’s the most intimate thing you can do to a lover with your fingers…other than washing their hair.”
The quirky and hilarious character from Brooklyn Nine-Nine surely does not shy away from expressing his opinions about how intimacy should be and what it is like. Charles Boyle can be trusted with saying the most random things at the most random times in the show. During an episode, the goofy Boyle decides to interrupt Rosa as she is texting and asks her who she is chatting with. When Rosa replies that it is Marcus, he delivers this hilarious one-liner, “Texting, that’s the most intimate thing you can do to a lover with your fingers…other than washing their hair.”, which is one of the most iconic quotes from the usually reserved character. Not only is the quote nonsensical and hilarious, but the little line that he adds afterwards about washing one’s partner’s hair just adds the cherry on top. The fact that Boyle says this with sincerity and seriousness just makes it all the more laughable.
6. “Tinker Bell is a royal lieutenant and a real thorn in the side of Captain Hook.”
Charles Boyle has two missions in life: letting the universe decide his destiny and simply lying back, and becoming the best friend of Jake Peralta. The Brooklyn Nine-Nine character is an able detective for the most part and a loving family man, but his need to be a friend to Jake takes precedence over everything. Boyle loves to be Jake’s sidekick in any adventure that the detective takes up, and while the rest of the colleagues might make fun of him, Boyle does not care. In season 2, episode 7, Jake must be the person in charge of the whole precinct, and Boyle decides that this is the perfect time to be Jake’s friend in need. Rosa decides to tease Boyle by comparing him to Tinkerbell and Jake to Peter Pan and pointing out how Boyle is always eager to be Jake’s companion. This does not deter Boyle, who is a man of his word, and delivers this iconic quote, “Tinker Bell is a royal lieutenant and a real thorn in the side of Captain Hook.”, which proves that he always stands by those whom he likes.
7. “I’ve never been a bad influence on anyone! Should I bring my leather jacket?”
Charles Boyle from Brooklyn Nine-Nine might not be the bad boy you imagine, but sometimes even Boyle can decide to take a break from his disciplined schedule and overhaul himself into someone you might not recognize. And the most important aspect of turning into a bad influence over anybody is having a leather jacket. At least, this is what Boyle thinks is enough to become naughty. In season 4, episode 14, Charles decides to let loose and even convinces Captain Holt to do the same. All of this happens because the two run into issues with their auditor, who turns out to be Terry’s ex-girlfriend. While the two decide to go against protocol, Boyle delivers this classic quote, “I’ve never been a bad influence on anyone! Should I bring my leather jacket?”, which makes the scene even more hilarious. Boyle’s little escapade over to the other side is one of the highlights of the episode and makes it a memorable one.
8. “Yippie Kayak Other Buckets”
An iconic quote and one that will always be remembered. Charles Boyle in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, season 3, episode 10, decided to pay homage to the legendary John McClane, played by Bruce Willis, and deliver his character’s most iconic line in a hilariously botched manner. The episode focuses on how Jake is trapped in a store during Christmas and is held hostage by a bunch of criminals. As the viewers know, Boyle adores Jake and can do anything to save him. Boyle, therefore, decides to don the same attire as John McClane and finds a secret passageway, like in the movie, to surprise the criminals. He gives them a beating and yells out the above-mentioned famous quote, “Yippie Kayak Other Buckets”, even though it is hilariously wrong and far away from the original quote, it does have its own place now because it has become legendary for fans of the show. Jake, who loves everything Die Hard, is impressed by Boyle’s delivery, even if it’s wrong. Further, when Jake points out the catchphrase is wrong, Boyle says that he’s “pretty sure it’s right.”
9. “Jake, piece of advice: just give up. It’s the Boyle way. It’s why our family crest is a white flag.”
Back to the usual Charles Boyle’s Boyle-isms, the Brooklyn Nine-Nine character decides to impart his usual wisdom of letting go and giving up in season 5, episode 16 of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Charles and Jake find themselves trapped in a pyramid scheme, and while Jake, being Jake, decides to fight it out and get out of the contract, Boyle decides to impart these unique pearls of wisdom to his friend and prefers to take the route of peace. The incident is a perfect example of how poles apart the two characters are, and still, they are the best of friends to each other. The quote also highlights Boyle’s habit of removing himself from things when it gets too hard and makes it his defining trait. While other parents try to inculcate resilience and a never-say-die attitude in their children, the Boyle clan has passed down the art of giving up for generations.
10. “Yes! My fantasy threesome…of cops on a case.”
Trending
The hilarious character from Brooklyn Nine-Nine has a penchant for turning every line that he utters into something sexual. For example, during one episode, Boyle says in front of Jake that his therapist gave him a “quickie”. When Jake is understandably horrified, Charles Boyle says that his therapist gave him a “quick therapy session.” His habit of not thinking before saying does make him one of the most honest and loyal guys on the show. Another example of when Boyle decides to let loose his inner thoughts, without giving a second thought, is when, in season 1, episode 4 of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Charles is paired up with Rosa and Jake on a case. This is a dream come true for him, as Boyle had a crush on Rosa and deemed Jake his best friend. In utter happiness, he lets out this memorable and hilarious quote, “Yes! My fantasy threesome…of cops on a case.”, which seems like an innuendo.
