Line 629:
* [[Crazy Enough to Work]]: While this trope is used by the heroes on a near-weekly basis (see "series as a whole" above), it gets one noticeable invocation from the Buy More staff in "Chuck Versus the Ring: Part II":
{{quote|'''Big Mike:''' That's ''crazy''!
'''Lester:''' ''*[[Cheshire Cat Grin|grins deviously]]* '' ...crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy[[Overly Long Gag|yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy]]yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy... ''good''?
'''Big Mike:''' There may be a brain under that mop after all.}}
* [[Crowd Hockey]]: "Chuck Versus the Cubic Z" has Morgan chasing after the eponymous Cubic Zirconium ring during a Buy More riot. He doesn't find it. Chuck does. [[With This Ring|On bended knee. In front of Sarah.]]
Line 681:
** "Wow. Girl on top. Miss Walker, when Herr Wienerlicious signs your paycheck, I doubt he's factoring in make-out sessions with your boy-toy."
** "Chuck Versus the Santa Suit" brings us the greatest comic example of all time, when {{spoiler|General Beckman plants a big wet one on Chuck to prevent CIA security from discovering that they're searching for a device in Decker's office}}.
{{quote|''([[Overly Long Gag|long, awkward]] [[Beat|silence]])''
'''{{spoiler|Chuck}}:''' You know, I typically brush my teeth before I--
'''{{spoiler|Beckman}}:''' [[Let Us Never Speak of This Again|We never speak of this again.]]
'''{{spoiler|Chuck}}:''' Ever. ''Ever''.}}
* [[Fake Kill Scare]]: A variant appears in "Chuck Versus the Anniversary": Sarah and Casey have been captured, and Chuck and Morgan are surrounded as they attempt to save them. Sarah begs for them to be let go over the radio, and Marko orders his men to kill them. Gunshots and a scream are heard.... {{spoiler|and then Chuck's voice is heard}}.
Line 813:
{{quote|'''Chuck''': Sorry about this guys, and Anna. We really need to find a non-gender-specific name. How about "team"?
'''Anna''': Fellow Nerd Herders?
'''Lester''': "[[Egocentric Team Naming|The Lesters]]".
'''Jeff''': "Chuck's Stable of Hos".}}
* [[Neck Lift]]:
Line 864:
* [[Retirony]]: Played with in "Chuck Versus Bo", in which they discover something that requires their immediate attention, just after coming to a major decision about their future:
{{quote|'''Casey''': Guess we're not retired after all, hmm?
'''Sarah''': Well, it doesn't change the plan; it just means we have [[One Last Job|one last mission]].
(''Team Bartowski gasps and groans at Sarah in utter disbelief'')
'''Sarah''': [[Genre Blindness|What?]]
'''Chuck''': [[Tempting Fate|Things never turn out well when you say "one last mission!"]]
'''Sarah''': [[Lampshade Hanging|Is this just because of some stupid movie?]]
(''Team Bartowski groans "yes"'')
'''Casey''': You ''never'' say "one last mission".}}
* [[Retroactive Wish]]: The "Thanksgiving Miracle" in "Chuck Versus the Gravitron".
Line 962:
** Chuck's search for a job in "Chuck Versus the Anniversary". Inverted in that it is the ''interviewers'' who are bad, but only because of CIA sabotage.
* [[That Came Out Wrong]]: Natural territory for a show that likes [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]].
{{quote|'''Captain Awesome''': ''[after Chuck returns his great-grandmother's engagement ring]'' Way to go Chuck. I always knew you could handle my family jewels. [[Verbal Backspace|So to speak.]]
'''Chuck''': Charles Carmichael ''always'' comes quickly.}}
* [[There Is Only One Bed]]: When Chuck and Sarah go on the run in "Chuck Versus the Colonel", and Chuck offers to sleep on the motel floor. Invoked by Sarah when they get arrested and Chuck mentions he'd like to share a two-bedroom cell with her, and she points they'd only need one.
