Here’s the thing — Brooklyn Nine-Nine fans are some of the most delightful people in the world. They seem to feed off all the positive energy and silly nonsense from the show, and then just do nice things, such as this wonderful meme turning quotes from the show into Broadway musicals.

Twitter user @hotdamnperalta put together this pure and clever thread, which matches iconic Brooklyn Nine-Nine quotes with famous Broadway musicals. It just works, you know?

Anyway, it’s perfect and funny and I love it. So does Nine-Nine actress Melissa Fumero and musical legend Lin Manuel Miranda, so you know it’s doing it’s job.

Nine-Nine!
