* [[Blatant Lies]]: There are several examples, mostly from Nick trying to cover up Tim's incompetence, but the best example has to be in ''Public Enemy Number Two'', when Tim announces to a group of criminals he and Nick are meant to infiltrate that he is a private detective; as the mood rapidly turns frosty, Nick makes up a spur-of-the-moment tale that he is a private investigator of water, "having to check there is enough H". Incredibly, this works. |

* [[Better Manhandle the Murder Weapon]]: Tim has managed this three times in all, two of which were in the very first book. Nick provides the lampshading. |

"No," I replied soothingly. [[Sarcasm Mode|"You went up to see him. There was a gunshot. You were found holding a smoking gun. The dwarf was dead. I'm sure the police won't think you're involved."]] }} |

* [[Clueless Detective]]: Tim, often taken to extremes; the one time he manages to solve a case, not only is it completely by accident, he's on the run from the law at the time, and he promptly destroys the priceless Ming vase he was meant to be finding by accident. The logo of the series features the words 'Diamond Brothers Detective Agency', with a scratch over the first 't' in 'Detective' making it seem like it actually says 'Defective'. |
