Line 387:
* [[Can't Spit It Out]]: Towards Maggey Byrde.
* [[Clueless Detective]]
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: TheNot only the above feetsfeats of sheer bravery and physical badassery, but seriously, when your investigation *needs* something, whether it's a bridge built overnight, that one piece of evidence found or a high speed race across town, Gumshoe will deliver.
* [[Flanderization]]/[[Took a Level In Dumbass]: He wasn't always a ''completely'' useless, incompetent idiot whose only narrative purpose was to make other characters look good. Unfortunately, his brains seem to drain away a little more with each passing game.
* [[Took a Level In Dumbass]]:* In the final case of T&T, Gumshoe finds a {{spoiler|partially burnt letter that contains instructions on what to do after the lights out bell is rung that ends with "let us gravely roast the Master in the fires of Hades, and have our revenge."}} [[Red Herring|He thinks it's worthless and should be thrown away, since it couldn't possibly have anything to do with the case.]] At that point it's difficult to remind yourself that this guy's supposed to be a detective. ▼
* [[Friend on the Force]]: To Edgeworth and, to a lesser extent, Phoenix.
* [[Friend to All Children]]: Fonds of kids and easily befriends Kay and Pearl.

* [[Throw the Dog a Bone]]: {{spoiler|In 3, it's implied in the credits that he finally hooks up with Maggey.}}
▲* [[Took a Level In Dumbass]]: In the final case of T&T, Gumshoe finds a {{spoiler|partially burnt letter that contains instructions on what to do after the lights out bell is rung that ends with "let us gravely roast the Master in the fires of Hades, and have our revenge."}} He thinks it's worthless and should be thrown away, since it couldn't possibly have anything to do with the case.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: In the English version, punctuates most of his sentences with "pal". In the Japanese he slurs the end of his sentences.
{{quote|'''Maya''': We're on this case too, pal!
