The No No List was something that Jake Peralta and Charles Boyle came up with in an attempt to minimize their annoyance with one another in the Season Two episode Stakeout. It was written on the wall of the small room in a Condemned Hotel where they were assigned to watch a drop house for 8 days.
| “ | Just to be safe we could write down some of each other's annoying behaviors that we want to be off limits, you know? We could call it the no no list. | ” |

- "No talking about Derek" is on Jake's no-no list. This is a reference to the previous episode, Undercover, where Derek is mentioned as Jake's partner in a lot of activities during his time undercover in the mafia, much to Charles' disappointment.
