Captain Raymond Holt has died! A thread of his best lines

I'm absolutely gutted this morning to read the actor who played Raymond Holt on Brooklyn 99 has died. Of course he's played other roles but this for, for me, the iconic one!

I used to love all his barbs at Wuntch

Captain Wuntch, good to see you. But if you're here, who's guarding Hades?

What are your favourite quotes?

I know! Just read it 😪

Captain Ray Holt : The only way I'm going to die is if you touch me with one of your bony fingers and drag me across the River Styx, you reaper.

That’s not cheddar…

No one, but no one, could throw a sarcastic side-eye like Captain Raymond Holt.

The world is less bright and less funny today.

Why is no one having fun? I specifically requested it.

I am genuinely really sad to hear he's died. Nine Nine!

WhereIsBebèsChambre · 13/12/2023 08:08

And indeed 'Nine-nine!'

CumbersomeRobes · 13/12/2023 08:09

Hmmm, marshed mallow

SoupDragon · 13/12/2023 08:10

Nine-nine!

I can't single out any lines really. There were so many delivered with such perfection. All the Wunch ones for starters.

MrsRetriever · 13/12/2023 08:11

Oh, this is sad news.

He tried something! But straight Raymond Holt in Florida is always hilarious.

I loved him playing straight when he was undercover

She was such a strong female woman with nice, heavy breasts

There is nothing more intoxicating than the clear absence of a penis

"Apparently my husband Kevin has invited you all to my party. There's very little street parking. No gifts. No singing of Happy Birthday. It should be fun”

I must admit, I had to look online for some of his quotes (terrible memory!), but this one sums him up perfectly 😊.

He will be truly missed. RIP Andre x

TomatoSandwiches · 13/12/2023 08:21

Well this is completely awful news to wake to, 61, no age.
RIP Captain 😥

hellswelshy · 13/12/2023 08:23

Aww rip Captain Holt, going to watch an episode later in his memory. I really like the episode where he's addicted to Kwazy Kupcakes, and all the Halloween heist ones!

Aw this is sad. Here for the larfs.

'Be myself' - what kind of garbage advice is that?

You’re not cheddar, you’re just some common bitch

I use this ALL the time.

Vindication is in common usage at the yourname household too!

He was simply a fabulous actor with such brilliant comic timing and as a previous poster said he's sadly passed away far too young. Absolutely a loss that's hitting hard here this morning.

The dance during birth always cracks me up. I watched the blackout episode only the other day
