Candy Crush, every New Yorker’s favorite mobile game to play during their commute, made a brief cameo in the most recent episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, “Tactical Village”.
Well, not really Candy Crush. – though, the game Gina is playing on her phone is basically the same thing. “Kwazy Cupcakes”, which is pretty much Candy Crush (but with colored cupcakes instead of candy), is shown when Holt reprimands Gina for playing the game rather than working.
It is the same sad song that us Candy Crush addicts have all experienced before. Just as you are about to finish that level (oh, you know that level), your boss sneaks up from beyond your peripheries of vision and sends you bashfully back to work, with candies in your pocket, just waiting to be crushed.
Gina’s shamelessness should serve as inspiration for all: check out the video below, and take notes from that incredible look of “IDGAF” that she flashes Holt during the short moment that she looks up from her phone.
