Line 49:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Numerous among both the squad and the people they dealt with, but Yemana and Dietrich deserve special mention.
* [[Disposable Vagrant]]
* [[Double Standard Rape (Male On Male)]]: Wojo, who is wearing drag in order to catch muggers, is almost raped. Everyone finds this hilarious.
* [[Drop in Character]]: Ray Brewer.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Arnold Ripner threatens to sue a lobotomist ''free of charge'' should he try to operate again on a patient who was rendered mentally incompetent by his amygdalectomy. (He then threatens Barney that trying to describe his actions as "noble" could be slander.)
Line 75:
* [[Non Sequitur Distraction]]: A riot breaks out in front of the precinct station. Barney gives an impassioned speech to a representative, saying among other things "Maybe we are all going to hell in a handbasket." When things quiet down, Dietrich says to Barney "Hell in a handbasket?"
* [[Noodle Incident]]: One one episode, a man is brought into the station for writing on the walls of a women's restroom, where he left his phone number and an offer to engage in an unspeakably disgusting sex act. The act itself is never named out loud, but characters read a transcription of the message and crack jokes about it throughout.
* [["El NinoNiño" Is Spanish for "The Nino"]]: A recurring Latina character calls Officer Levitt (who is quite short) "poquito". He finally asks her what it means and she says, "It means macho," and leaves.
{{quote| '''Levitt''': "I thought "macho" meant macho!"}}
* [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]]: Scanlon of Internal Affairs. In fact, he takes malicious glee in targeting Barney's squad.
Line 100:
* [[Those Two Guys]]: Harris and Dietrich.
* [[Tontine]]: A season 8 episode revolves around one of these.
* [[Un CanceledUncanceled]]: The pilot was originally not picked up, and just "burned off" in the summer. However the ratings of that one showing revived interest in the concept, and more episodes were ordered the next season.
* [[Unintentional Period Piece]]: In particular, a rerun of the two part episode "Quarantine" inspired the revival of that trope's YKTTW.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Harris and Dietrich again. They're even roomies at several points.
