Line 456:
* [[Magical Database]]
** Lampshaded in "False Witness" when there is a national database for the DNA of ''wild turkeys'' and both Abby and Gibbs find it weird.
*** [[Truth in Television]]! [https://web.archive.org/web/20110826052741/http://www.nwtf.org/nwtf_newsroom/press_releases.php?id=12351 National Wild Turkey Federation DNA Database].
* [[Magnetic Hero]]: Gibbs. But "he only uses his powers for good."
* [[Malaproper]]: Ziva (the ESL variety) which is a [[Running Gag]] on the show; she speaks English perfectly, except for idioms, which she constantly gets wrong and is usually corrected by Tony. What's strange is that she [[Rule of Funny|actually has a remarkably good grasp of American pop culture]]. That and her level of English proficiency mean she shouldn't get nearly ''every single idiom'' she uses wrong. It's eventually revealed that Ziva was using a ''For Dummies'' book to memorize pop culture cliches from by rote, especially movie lines. And it's hinted in a later episode that she was, at times, [[Obfuscating Stupidity|playing dumb]] to get people off-guard (and yank Tony's chain). Possibly a [[Retcon]], though.
