46 Dry, Sarcastic, And Iconic Gina Linetti Quotes For 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' Fans

Brooklyn Nine-Nine has long established itself as the cop office comedy we all needed. And if its premise, cast of characters, and joke format feel familiar, that’s because Mike Schur, the producer and co-creator of the series, is also behind other fan-favorites like The Office and Parks and Rec. With funny one-liners and catchphrases like “Title of your sex tape” (the successor to “that’s what she said” and “treat yourself”) and even more memorable characters, it’s not hard to see why the series has been so successful and has racked up 11 Emmy nominations and two wins.

While most of Brooklyn‘s storylines center around Jake Peralta, Amy Santiago, Rosa Ruiz, Charles Boyle, and Captain Holt, it’s Gina Linetti that takes the cake as the no-bullshit, witty, and sarcastic heart and soul of the series. Played brilliantly by comedian Chelsea Peretti, Gina delivers some of the most shocking and hilarious lines of the series. To paraphrase one of her best quotes, Gina Linetti is a Timberlake, so stop treating her like a Fatone.

With her die-hard fans in mind, we’ve gone ahead and rounded up Gina’s most fire quotes and pithy lines in the hopes they bring the enthusiasm she clearly lacks.
