Caleb's prison reunion brings cannibal-specific ads to Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Tim Meadows's unnervingly friendly inmate joins Jake and Charles in the most-watched of the official channel's five new uploads.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Your old friend is STILL a cannibal | Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Charles has competition. Visiting Caleb with Jake, he introduces himself as Jake's best friend, prompting a reminder that there is no need to flex on someone serving three life sentences.
That awkward reunion anchors "Your old friend is STILL a cannibal | Brooklyn Nine-Nine", which has passed 550,000 views since Wednesday. This is a scene from the sitcom, with Tim Meadows playing the disconcertingly personable Caleb opposite Andy Samberg's Jake and Joe Lo Truglio's Charles. The detectives need help with a case involving removed hearts; Caleb supplies an online-forum connection and some very specific advice about avoiding targeted ads.
The ads have become a talking point in the comments, where viewers wonder what those recommendations could possibly look like. Others pick out Caleb saying "wink" without actually winking, or single out Meadows's performance. The comedy lies in how close this comes to an ordinary catch-up between friends, until Caleb reminds everyone why they are meeting in prison.
The channel's other new uploads broadened the selection: "Brooklyn 99 ULTIMATE \"Halloween\" Heist Compilation", "Law & Order: Ding Dongs Unit | Brooklyn Nine-Nine", an Operation: Broken Feather episode highlight, and "Every Single TV and Movie Reference in Brooklyn Nine-Nine". Caleb remains the strongest daily draw, followed by the heist compilation and the reference collection.
Across the channel, daily viewing is about a third above its usual level, while subscribers held steady. Among the nearby television channels, Prime Video AU & NZ had a particularly large week and FOX was quieter than usual. Brooklyn Nine-Nine added roughly 3.7 million views over the week, with its latest prison visit providing the standout new clip.
