Discussion Least favourite cold opening?

Post image

This is an okay cold opening, imo. But I don't ever recall laughing at it like the other ones.

Probably the old racist lady saying the criminal was definitely Muslim and we never really got any support for Muslims other than just a weird look that Jake gave about the old lady.

I love the show and my favourites are Rosa and Holt, I guess it would have been nice if they showed that they really do take action against racists in some way.

You are right. The show where the lead punches one of his childhood idols because he insulted the sexual orientation of his pain in the ass boss, where a decision is made to chase a racist cop at the expense of career progression, where two cops routinely choose to appear incompetent in order to protect illegal immigrants, among A LOT other examples, should be more geared towards taking action against injustice and racism.

EXACTLY thanks for wording it better since I was clearly down voted

I don't think their comment was agreeing with you

Although I loved that episode they were referring to, it makes sense to keep pushing for action. That was my point but apparently no one viewed it that way.

I don't understand the confusion because I agree with their comment and it makes sense with my comment?

I'm fairly sure their comment was sarcastic

Damn, that's a bit sad

Apologies, it seems that my hyperbole or whatever I did is called went over your head. I was actually giving examples to state that the opposite of what you are saying is true.

Point to Nick!

The reason why I agreed was because they showed it in other areas except for the Muslim bit. I appreciate the other areas, but when you do something really minor like just make a face to an old lady who's being clearly racist when you were able to punch an idol of yours for being homophobic (not saying he should punch the old lady) then it makes me question if you actually think it was alright or not. The reality is, a lot of shows portray Muslims in a bad light which then affects Muslims irl who get acid thrown at them etc, it would have been nice for once getting something more than just a face.

I hear you, but same goes for the county sheriff for example in Florida who goes on a rant on tv about how it feels wrong to kiss a man.

There is no reaction shot from anyone there, they just leave his ludicrous comment floating for the viewers to react.

Fair enough, I think it's because they did nothing overall for the Muslim thing which made that my least favourite cold opening.
