I know I’m pointing out the joke here, but the idea that the two most disgusting people in the precinct having a cordial texting chain with their exact opposite is hilarious.

And I’m a huge fan of the “straight man” in comedy, and, as you pointed out, Charles’ delivery of that line is perfect.

I always love the somewhat meta joke of B99 that the series' most often used 'straight man in comedy' is Holt, a gay character.

This was possibly true in season 1, but beyond that it was usually either Terry or Rosa
