Reno 911!: Difference between revisions

** Declan and Rizzo in the last season are more straightforward examples.

* [[Cool but Inefficient]]: The Hummer the department buys with money they didn't have to spend on a case settlement.

** The horses Garcia and Jones temporarily ride.

* [[Cool Car]]: Fast Eddie McLintock's "Battle Hymn Of The Republic"-honking black-with-flame-decals Corvette.

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Clementine was getting less and less to do even before she was killed off.

* [[Disposable Sex Worker]]: {{spoiler|Mike Powers}} reveals that he's cut the heads off of "a lot of hookers". Assuaging their tormentor, the deputies he has at gunpoint respond by saying, "They're ''hookers''."

* [[Dream Within a Dream]]: Season 2 begins with a [["Previously On..."]] showing the last shot of Season 1 ({{spoiler|everybody lying dead on the floor in the Reno County Morgue as Jones says "Guys?..."}}), then cutting to {{spoiler|Dangle}} waking up in bed {{spoiler|next to Kenny Rogers}}. Dangle asks whose dream this is, followed by {{spoiler|Garcia}} waking up in a morning briefing.

* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: Inverted. Dangle is told that he accidentally fathered a child with a woman he met at what he thought was a drag show.

* [[Drunk on Milk]]: At Kimball's Christian singles group, Clementine claims "I'm soooooo wasted!" before being told that they're serving non-alcoholic beer.

* [[Donut Mess with a Cop]]: "Yes Donut? More like <bleep> Yes Donut. Five percent discount for law enforcement." However, they are not fat.

* [[Dysfunction Junction]]: With the exception of the time the FBI was brought in in Season 1 to help catch a serial killer and a couple others, nobody who visits the precinct leaves without exposing themselves as a horrible, horrible person. Even a visiting English constable ends up {{spoiler|robbing a bank on duty, getting shot to death, and being shipped home in a cardboard box}}.

* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Parodied by {{spoiler|Mike Powers}} right down to the glass cell on Jones by claiming to know about Jones's "gritty ghetto life." However, it fails as Jones casually admits he grew up in the well-off WASP-y suburb of Mound, Minnesota. {{spoiler|Mike Powers}} then sheepishly tells where he's hid a body.

* [[Harassing Phone Call]]: After being exposed as a serial killer on the run, {{spoiler|District Attorney Mike Powers}} makes threatening calls, notes, and text messages to each of the cops. They basically tune it out.

* [[Harpo Does Something Funny]]

* [[Have We Met?]]: One episode has Dangle run into a guy outside of a [[Donut Mess with a Cop|donut shop]]. He runs through half a dozen gay hangouts, but can't remember why the guy looks familiar. As they part ways, once the guy enters the store and starts holding it up, Dangle remembers where he's seen the guy:

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: More like Protagonist BSOD. Dangle and Junior have one after they walk in on Wiegel in the bath and tell her that the man who says he's her father isn't. And she knows. Then starts singing "pop, pop, go the bubbles." They walk out, clearly [[BSO Ding]]. Turns out they're also tripping on peyote.

* [[Hummer Dinger]]: In one episode, the deputies got issued a Hummer and were ecstatic about it... until they encountered problem after problem due to its bulk and poor gas mileage.

* [[If I Had a Nickel]]: Jones adds up on his hands how much he'd have if he had a nickel for every time a kid claimed that he was their father. He concludes he'd have about a dollar.

* [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy]]: A [[Running Gag]] in the show is that Garcia apparently graduated from the Academy.

* [[Jumping the Shark]]: Parodied (and thus not YMMV) in 'Bounty Hunter Tommy Hawk' where the department is hosting a 'Jumping the Shark for Autism' fundraiser. May double as a [[Take That Me]], considering the content of the previous episode (the fifth season's season premiere).

* [[Jerkass]]: Everybody, but especially Garcia. One of the early episodes described Jones hitting Garcia as "throwing shit onto a big shit pile that already has too much shit on it."

* [[This Trope Is Bleep]]: Unless you have the uncensored DVDs.

* [[To the Pain]]: After Raineesha is tricked into putting her hand through "Spanish Mike" Alvarez's cell door:

'''Spanish Mike:''' There are many levels of pain. You have just crossed into the... 'welcome mat'. You have not even entered the door, walked down the hallway, and gone up the stairs to visit the V.I.P. rooms." }}

* [[Truth in Television]]: Well, truth in another television show: The arrest segments in ''[[Cops (series)]]'' are sometimes just as baffling as their parodies here. In both shows, the more mentally unstable or drug-fueled criminals provide the police with a five to ten minute [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]] after the officers respond to the disturbance calls.
