Brooklyn Nine-Nine is known for its ensemble cast, with each cop bringing their own unique quirks to the show.

One particular character may not have the same screen time as Jake Peralta or Terry Jeffords, but he is just as important to the success of the show.

According to many fans, the most overlooked character is Detective Norm Scully. He is often seen as lazy, unmotivated, and a bit of a slob.

But underneath his slacker exterior is a heart of gold. The servant of the law is not the most proactive detective, but he is always willing to lend a helping hand to his colleagues when they need it.

Scully is surprisingly knowledgeable about a variety of topics, including obscure facts about food and drink, which often come in handy during investigations. He also has an excellent operatic voice.

Sometimes this comes in handy. In one episode, Scully sang at the Captain and his husband Kevin's anniversary dinner when Jake and his friends screwed up.

One of the things that makes Scully such a memorable character is his friendship with fellow detective Hitchcock. The two make an unlikely duo, but their chemistry is undeniable.

They're often seen goofing off or indulging their love of food, but they also have each other's backs when it matters most.

Their dynamic is a reminder that even in a high-pressure job like law enforcement, it's important to have someone to lean on.

"His loyalty to Hitchcock makes his character even better because he shows compassion and care for only one person in the entire show and it's his partner," Redditor Sea_Comparison_6718 said.

But Scully isn't just there for laughs — he's also a source of comfort and support for the other characters.

When Rosa Diaz comes out as bisexual, Scully is one of the first to offer his support and acceptance. It's a small moment, but it speaks volumes about the kind of person he is.

And he's actually a great detective when he needs to be (especially if it comes to food cases).

It's easy to overlook Scully in a show with such a talented ensemble cast, but he's an integral part of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

He may not be the most dynamic character, but he is relatable in a way that many of the others are not.
