* EvilIsPetty: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] and [[ExploitedTrope exploited.]] Wuntch is willing to throw out the Giggle Pig task force proposal because of a [[GrammarNazi minor punctuation error.]] Holt was expecting this, knowing Wuntch would reject any proposal coming from him on general principal, and points out that her rejecting it over something so small gives him justification to go over her head.

"Character eats month-old food, then gets food poisoning" isn't really surprising.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The first event of the Jimmy Jab Games is to eat month-old Chinese food that had gone bad in the precinct's refrigerator. Scully digs in but has to drop out of the games soon after due to food poisoning.

* ShipTease: Despite the former being in a relationship and the latter trying to get the number of someone else and claiming to be completely over the former, a lot of the playful banter between Santiago and Peralta takes on a very flirtatious edge. Peralta later realises this and acknowledges he's not as over Santiago as he thought.

Then he wants to take part in a conversation with Jake without anyone insulting him, which Boyle successfully accomplishes but then he wasnts Boyle to cool him handsome in public. Again Boyle accomplishes this but Hitchcock's not done. Eventually Boyle just gets fed up and fights Hitchcock for it after Hitchcock reveals it's on him.

'''''The Jimmy Jab Games''''' is the third episode of ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'''s second season.

The precinct is stuck waiting around for motorcade duty while the Serbian president is delayed in Washington [=DC=]. To amuse themselves, while the senior officers are away, the detectives launch the seventh Jimmy Jab Games: a series of petty contests to see who gets to use the best chair in the precinct.

Meanwhile, Terry and Holt go to One Police Plaza to request funding and equipment to combat a new form of Ecstasy, called Giggle Pig that is becoming popular in the Nine Nine from Deputy Chief Wuntch.

!!!Tropes present in this episode:

* BlatantLies: Jakes insists that he has no feelings for Amy. Charles seems to buy it while Rosa knows that is not true.
* TheChessmaster: Holt and Wuntch try to politically out maneuver each other. Holt intentionally inserts grammatical mistakes into a funding request knowing that Wuntch would use them as an excuse to reject the request, thus giving Holt an excuse to look good in front of her superior. Wuntch is fully aware of what Holt is trying to do and goads him into asking for an expensive task force at a time when the [=NYPD=] is going through budget cuts.
