Line 32:
* [[Action Girl]]: Sarah, plus many of the guest-star female spies/terrorists who pop up regularly.
* [[Action Girlfriend]]: The relationship dynamic between Chuck and Sarah.
** Until, of course, Chuck [[Took a Level
* [[Action Mom]]: {{spoiler|Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Bartowski}}!
* [[Action Survivor]]: Chuck, {{spoiler|until he learned Kung Fu at the end of Season 2}}!
Line 61:
* [[The Beard]]: For the first three seasons, Chuck and Sarah pretended to be boyfriend and girlfriend, which is complicated by them being [[Just Friends]], to each other (one of them more convincingly than the other). They have feelings that they're hiding from each other, while simultaneously faking a relationship for the outside world. Lampshaded in "Chuck Versus the Beard", by {{spoiler|Morgan, which makes it particularly funny}}. During the third season, {{spoiler|the pretend relationship became real}}, and in the fourth season, {{spoiler|[[Squee|Chuck proposed and they became engaged and then married]]}}.
* [[Beauty, Brains, and Brawn]]:
** Chuck frequently carries the [[Idiot Ball]], but he also has a government intelligence database in his head; Sarah is frickin' Yvonne [[Fan Nickname|Strahotski]], and Casey is, [[Badass|well]], [[Adam Baldwin]]. Of course, being TV spies, the relative Beauty/Brains/Brawn quotients of [[Action Girl|Sarah]] and [[Even the Guys Want Him|Casey]] are all well above average. To be fair, Casey and Sarah also happen to be well trained spies who know a lot about technology, politics, and espionage. And since Chuck {{spoiler|[[Took a Level
* [[Becoming the Mask]]: Agent X, in a name-checked example. Chuck also counts, having become more and more like his super-spy alter ego Charles Carmichael as the series has progressed.
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]:
Line 241:
** Further down the line, {{spoiler|Morgan}} decides to take up the alias "Michael Carmichael", Charles's brother.
* [[Green Lantern Ring]]: The Intersect 2.0. Abilities Chuck has used so far include: kung fu, judo, parkour, gymnastics, zip-lining with a belt, boxing, bomb defusion, flamenco guitar, dancing through laser tripwires, ballroom dancing, speaking Thai, French and Japanese, [[Improbable Aiming Skills]] with pen, tranquilizer gun and nacho platter, bullet dodging, field medicine, fencing, staff-fighting, and using nunchucks {{spoiler|(though he never used them in combat, the Intersect did teach him how!)}}.
* [[Guile Hero]]: Chuck, both before and after he [[Took a Level
** "I'm a CIA agent, and this is ''my'' trap. I don't think you gentlemen recognize the gravity of the predicament you're in."
** "Did you know your Buy More associate can also help you with video conferencing?"
Line 464:
* [[Shout-Out]]: [[Chuck/Shout Out|So many, we had to give it its own page.]]
* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]
* [[Sinister Silhouettes]]: The leaders of [[Nebulous Evil Organization|The Ring]] were shown as this during a [[You Have Failed Me...]] moment.
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]:
** The first season had Harry Tang and similarly there is Emmett in the second season - both characters are [[Tyrant Takes the Helm|Tyrants Taking The Helm]] at Buy More and are an ironic contrast to the very dangerous villains Chuck faces in his spy life.
Line 488:
* [[Time Compression Montage]]: [[Subverted]] in "Chuck Versus the Frosted Tips". Devon [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall|was surprised to find out]] that only an hour had passed.
* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: Jeff. Possibly Lester.
* [[Took a Level
** Also {{spoiler|Morgan}} took a level in badass in a more quiet way. He's still not a fighter or even particularly clever, but Casey has complimented him on his bravery more than once. Morgan has lured a tiger into an apartment to trap it and, as of the end of Season 3, is the only person other than Casey to break their own thumbs to get out of a pair of handcuffs.
** {{spoiler|Morgan gets the Intersect at the end of Season 4}}.
Line 972:
** A large part of "Chuck Versus the Bullet Train", for obvious reasons.
* [[Time Bomb]]: Several times. But in "Chuck Versus the Imported Hard Salami", it's not a bomb.
* [[Took a Level
** Chuck <s>took</s> uploaded a level in badass at the end of "Chuck Versus the Ring".
** Unbelievably, Morgan. It takes a lot of badass to {{spoiler|break your own thumbs to save yourself}}, especially on nothing but Casey's orders.
