Andre Braugher, the brilliant actor who brought the iconic Captain Raymond Holt to life, has left us. Personally, this news has left me in shock. Watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine during the pandemic was one of the best decisions I’ve made. It helped me pass through a depressing time.

One of those reasons is Ray Holt.

Holt’s remarks will always forever be hilarious into a mind that valued logic, puns, and wit. He was a mentor, a leader, and a reminder that even in chaos, there’s room for structure, discipline, and a well-placed Brooklyn Nine-Nine reference.

His comedic legacy will continue to live.

So, as we celebrate Braugher’s gift, let’s explore my Holt’s favorite quotes, laugh along, and remember: the Captain wouldn’t want us to stop bingpotting.

“The statistical analysis, it’s so beautiful.”

I can’t stop laughing at this. The deadpan delivery on anything mundane is pure Holt magic. Picture him gazing at a spreadsheet with the same awe as Michelangelo admiring the Sistine Chapel.

“No, from now on, call me Velvet Thunder.”
