* [[Acceptable Targets]]: Wiccans in "The Witch in the Wardrobe", BDSM practitioners, [[LAR Pers]], comic book fans...
* [[Alas, Poor Scrappy]]: A common reaction to {{spoiler|the death of Dr. Nigel-Murray}}. Just when you thought you could deal with him...
* [[Badass Decay]]: In the first couple of seasons Brennan is presented as a capable and skilled martial artist. This seems to have been abandoned in later seasons, noticeable in "Harbingers in the Fountain" where an untrained doctor clumsily wielding a simple scalpel is more than a match for her.
** In Season 7's "The Warrior in the Wuss", she provides some significant information about Karate, and just about any self-defense instructor will tell a student that just because someone is untrained doesn't mean they're not a significant threat, ''especially'' if they're armed and/or highly motivated. Even in the first episode, she was perfectly willing {{spoiler|to shoot a guy threatening to burn both of them to death instead of trying to subdue him.}}
Line 48:
** The "pony play" episode.
*** Now [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]. This troper rewatched that episode recently and thought of something [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|completely different]].
** "The Princess and the Pear". Guess what [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Pear_of_Anguish:Pear of Anguish|the "pear"]] is. And a version is made for [[Nightmare Fuel|use further south]]. If it's any comfort to folks, Pears of Anguish don't actually work -- they're psychological torture as the force needed to use them on either location is more than a Pear could exert. The Pear would break long before the human would.
** "The Critic in The Cabernet". Red wine. Body. How do you think they discover it? ...EWWWW! The liquefied man was somewhere between this and [[Nightmare Fuel]].
** Then there's the flattened girl who is often being compared to a pizza. They even use a piece of sheet metal to pry her off the cardboard she's stuck to. [[Sarcasm Mode|Thanks a lot.]]
