Line 16:
* [[Angry Guard Dog]]: Faced in the second and third game.
* [[Artifact Title]]: The Broken Sword {{spoiler|artifact/place}} is not referenced in the second game at all, and only serves as a minor background element in the third. The German title, Baphomet's Fluch/Curse, is even more this.
* [[Bag of Holding]]: Nico has a small bag to keep all the items they collect along the way. George has his handy pockets. Note that said pocket managed to somehow hold, ''at the same time'' during the second game, a folded surveying Theodolite, a bucket of maple syrup, a fish, and Mayan artifacts, among other items.
* [[Banana Republic]]: Quaramonte City in ''The Smoking Mirror''.
* [[Bee-Bee Gun]]: In the second game, George has to throw biscuits inside a bush to make bees come out and pursue a stunt actor.
Line 27:
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Early in the first game, you get a prank item that shocks whoever shakes your hand. You ''know'' it's going to come in handy at some point.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: George, Nico and André are most prominent examples. The last two with added Frenchness.
* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]: a few examples in the early games, but unfortunately averted in the third.
** Also, a lot of the random junk you could examine in the original is taken out in the Director's Cut, averting it here as well. A lot of the time, it really is just some funny observations or unimportant descriptions. But an entire character gets cut at one point.
** At one point in ''Sleeping Dragon'' you find a "large iron key" ''twenty feet away'' from a "large iron gate". Response to using one on the other: [[Adventure Narrator Syndrome|"There was no reason to try that"]]...
* [[Double Entendre]]: In the first game, George shifts the conversation into talking about a drain cover tool, which nobody is remotely interested in. Upon showing it to someone a second time, he tends to say things like;
{{quote|''George'': "I already [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|showed you my tool]], didn't I?"
''Museum Curator'': "Oui, monsieur. [[Accidental Innuendo|Most impressive!]]" }}
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Flap in the first and third game.
Line 63:
* [[Not Completely Useless]]: The hand buzzer in ''Templars''. Seems like a [[Joke Item]] for most of the game, only to be the only solution to a life-or-death situation.
* [[Oireland]]: Part of the first game.
** Also [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in the following exchange:
{{quote|'''George''': Top of the morning to ya!
'''Landlord''': I beg your pardon?
Line 72:
** Justified in the first game with the cafe bombing, as {{spoiler|Rosso is working with the Neo-Templars all along and almost definitely was ordered to shut down the investigation by his buddies.}}
* [[Press X to Not Die]]: occasionally in ''Sleeping Dragon''.
* [[Privateer]]: Two NPCs are the descendants of a privateer ([[Insistent Terminology|not a pirate]]) who claim he was falsely accused of acting without the correct papers by a governor and hung in order to get at his fortune.
* [[Reforged Blade]]: The first game has the antagonists trying to reforge the eponymous weapon in the belief it will restore their order to glory. The heroes stop them.
* [[Shout-Out]]: George Stobbart's similarity to another famous adventurer fond of ancient semi-mythical artefacts is [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by the line: "Evil Monks. I hate those guys".
* [[Shut Up and Save Me]]: Nico's response if you choose to talk to her rather than untie her in ''Smoking Mirror''.
* [[Starving Student]]: Nico mentions that she had to drop out of university because of this trope (she couldn't afford art supplies, although she was able to eat potatoes when she was doing printing with them).
* [[Stealth
* [[Temple of Doom]]: Visited regularly.
* [[Theme Park Version]]: In the second game, George meets a cinema crew shooting a movie version of ''[[Treasure Island]]'', but with "modern" elements added such as a pirate girl with [[Combat Stilettos|thigh-high boots]].
