Line 119:
{{quote|'''Monroe''': I can't be around that guy -- I almost bought him a drink!}}
* [[Every Man Has His Price]]: Monroe disliked being used by Nick for tracking... until Nick offered him a bottle of 1978 Bordeaux for helping out. Monroe had no complaints from there on.
* [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]: The villains of "The Thing with Feathers" just can't get that Nick is trying to protect the seltenvogelSeltenvogel from them, not trying to steal her golden egg for himself.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Though you can't exactly call her "evil", [[Fiery Redhead|Angelina]] is this to [[Heroes Want Redheads|Juliette.]]
* [[Exact Words]]: Reginald really should have been careful of how he worded his bargain with Edgar Waltz.
Line 183:
{{quote|'''Monroe:''' Oh, don't tell me we are going upstairs... Oh my God, we are going upstairs!}}
* [[Ghostapo]]: The coins in "Three Coins in a Fuchsbau" are stated to be responsible for this.
* [[Gladiator Games]]: The LowenLöwen, a lion-like species of Wesen, enjoy running them to the modern day. {{spoiler|Captain Renard sanctioned the event with a list of approved targets to snatch and fight. He is not happy when they deviate from the list}}.
* [[Go Mad From the Revelation]]: Based on Monroe's testimony and {{spoiler|Hank's freak-out upon seeing two Wesen in their game faces}}, most normal humans tend to go mad from seeing a Wesen in their other form as their minds cannot handle such a break from reality. A really good example can be seen in the first murder of "Happily Ever Aftermath", though in that case, the darkness and the fact that said Wesen was trying to kill the victim didn't help matters.
* [[Good Is Dumb]]: Hap is easily the nicest Blutbad encountered so far, and also the dumbest.
Line 239:
** Oleg Stark<ref>"Stark" means "a stern, determined or physically strong man".</ref> in "Game Ogre".
** "Organ Grinder", an episode loosely based off of "[[Hansel and Gretel]]", had two central characters named Hanson and Gracie.
** Leo Taymor the LowenLöwen in "Last Grimm Standing". Nick actually [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshades]] this one.
** A bird based Wesen named Robin.
* [[Memetic Badass]]: Grimms to Wesen, [[In-Universe]]. It's important to note that Grimms seem to have no real special powers other than the ability to see Wesen. It's only the centuries of hunting and thus the downright mythical stories told of Grimms by Wesen to each other and their children that give Grimms their fierce reputation and legendary status.
Line 268:
* [[Opening Narration]]: In this case, it seems, as of the first episode, to be a quote from the fairy tale the villain of the week comes from.
* [[Opium Den]]: Nick and Monroe track a couple of Wesen junkies into one specifically for Wesen (if a human were to smoke the stuff, they’d die). The smoke messes with Monroe’s nose.
* [[The Other Rainforest]]: Set and filmed in Portland, Oregon. There are a lot of little in jokes that are funnier if you're a Portlander or an Oregonian (two eisbibersEisbibers being really big OSU fans, for instance).
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: Dämonfeuer, Wesen descendent from a dragon-like lineage. They can breath fire by vaporizing their body fat and igniting it, seem to hoard copper, and are {{spoiler|fireproof}}. As with the werewolf entry below, Monroe makes the important distinction that dragons are a myth while the Wesen that inspired them are real.
* [[Our Monsters Are Different]]: Called 'Wesen' in-universe. [[The Other Wiki]] has a more complete list.
Line 319:
* [[Superpowerful Genetics]]: With a magical element. The death of the previous generation passes on the powers to the next. Because Marie has terminal cancer, the abilities were passing to Nick a little at a time. Upon her death, though, the rest showed up.
** Though, this is questionable as it's revealed that {{spoiler|Nick's mother is still very much alive}}.
* [[Swarm of Rats]]: An unlucky music teacher becomes a meal for a pack of hungry rats, and a ''reinigenReinigen'' can actually control them.
* [[Television Geography]]: Portland is divided into five geographic sectors—North, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast and Southwest. Every street name is preceded by one of these sector names (i.e. Northeast Tenth Avenue) except for Burnside Street which is labeled "East" or "West". East-west streets can run through two sectors of the city; the names of north-south avenues (which are numbered) can exist in up to four sectors of the city. Therefore, it's important to not only say the name of the street, but also the sector where it exists. In ''Grimm'', names of streets are given without their corresponding sectors (probably to keep viewers from visiting [[Real Life]] addresses).
* [[There Should Be a Law]]: Hap is surprised that it's legal for a Grimm to be a police officer. He is not the brightest guy.
