* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Bernard Falk's running commentary helps keep viewers entertained while the teams spend time trying various ideas for a challenge.
* [[Death Is a Slap Onon The Wrist]]: Challenges such as finding a way to "set off an explosive"<ref>pop a balloon</ref> while nobody is inside the indicated "blast radius", if failed, resulted in a five minute penalty added to the team's time, and ''nothing else'', even if within the context of the scenario, half the team would be dead.
* [[Dismantled MacGuffin]]: One season rewarded contestants with a piece of a map after each challenge was completed. {{spoiler|By the time they had the whole map, they were already done with every challenge.}}
* [[Empty Room Psych]]: The mission: Raid the castle full of guards. Do not set off the booby trap, or you'll set off an alarm and [[Zerg Rush|the guards will find you]]. {{spoiler|There were no guards. '''At all.'''}}
* [[Escort Mission]]: The final challenge of Season 4. To make it even more of a challenge, the scientist "[[Scripted Event|accidentally]]" falls off the wall and [[Twisted Ankle|"breaks" their ankle]], forcing the team to [[MacGyvering|build a makeshift stretcher]] [[Timed Mission|as quickly as possible]].
* [[Loophole Abuse]]: Get the keys to a Land Rover out of a milk churn buried in the mud. You cannot walk past this white line. {{spoiler|Crawling, running, or any other means of locomotion besides ''walking'', however, are fine.}}
* [[MacGyvering]]: A number of challenges and solutions attempted in the show involve putting together items [[Locking MacGyver in Thethe Store Cupboard|conveniently right by the challenge itself]] or [[It May Help You Onon Your Quest|picked up]] [[Chekhov's Gun|over the course of previous challenges]].
* [[Spy Fiction]]: Particularly in seasons 2-4:
** '''Season 2:''' Recover a top secret isotope from a crashed spacecraft.
