3. “No one will ever believe you.”
Holt is an expert at playing tricks on his teammates, and although he tries to reserve his shenanigans for special events, he sometimes goes all out. This line came when Jake revealed about his secret hula-hooping routine and then Holt erased every trace of it.

6. “Are you saying my life matters less because I don’t conform to society’s heteronormative, child-centric ideals?” “Yas Queen.”
Holt’s persona is rarely depicted on TV in the same manner as the majority of gay males. However, the limited instances in which he exhibits more “stereotypical” conduct make for shocking and entertaining scenes on the program.

7. “No, From Now On, Call Me Velvet Thunder”
Jake starts badgering Captain Holt about requiring and wanting a helicopter for the investigation, and when he eventually gets his way, he calls the irate Captain “Wet Blanket.”
But Holt regains his zeal when they make progress on the investigation, and to Jake’s joy, he offers that they take the helicopter and renames himself “Velvet Thunder.”

8. “You know what else is interesting? Grenades!”
Working one-on-one with Jake allows Holt to indulge his childlike side, and it’s a win-win situation to watch Samberg and Braugher interact.

9. “Every time someone steps up and says who they are, the world becomes a better, more interesting place. So thank you.”
Holt is there to provide Rosa with supportive and encouraging words when she comes out as bisexual to her family and friends.

The Captain uses bagels to celebrate Madeline Wuntch’s passing, which is one of the few occasions we see Holt smile.
