=== Series ===
* [[Cliché Storm]]: Which is part of the [[Just for Pun|pun]]... ah fun.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Vietcong Colonel Siue in the season 4 finale "The Sound of Thunder" has no trouble attacking villagers, just for housing the A-team. His Kick The Dog moment is when he horribly kills General Fullbright, despite the latter did nothing to him (personally at least).
* [[Creator's Pet]]: General Stockwell in the fifth season, [[Depending Onon the Writer]].
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Each and every member of the team to some extent, but Murdock ''personifies'' this trope. "Howlin' Mad", right?
** He's usually crazy, then when he [[Let's Get Dangerous|drops the act and gets serious]] he becomes awesome.
Line 15 ⟶ 14:
* [[Ho Yay]]: These days, you could look back and spot quite a bit of it, especially between Hannibal and Face, Face and Murdock, and Murdock and B. A. (which might border on [[Foe Yay]] at times).
** In the Season 1 episode "Till Death Do Us Part," Murdock has to help save the client from her evil fiancée by wearing her wedding dress and walking down the aisle. He spends the rest of the episode feeling broken up over leaving the groom at the altar and even writes the man a letter to apologize. It all culminates in these lines:
{{quote| '''Hannibal''': Murdock, he was lucky to have you for as short a time as he did.<br />
'''Murdock''' ''(sniffling)'': That's beautiful of you to say, Colonel. }}
** Strongest example has to be in the third episode of the 5th season - Murdock is so happy to see B.A. that he kisses him all over his face, and when Stockwell tells them they have to move to Virginia, Murdock says "Virginia, that's so far away. B.A. and I, we just got back together." Awwww.
Line 21 ⟶ 20:
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: One of the earliest Internet memes was the "Mr. T versus" comic, which mostly involved editing stills from ''The A-Team'' and borrowed heavily from B.A.'s character to describe Mr. T (like claiming Mr. T also had a fear of flying). Some of them also included Murdock to be pitied by Mr. T.
** I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER.
* [[Older Than They Think]]: The designs for both the GMC van and the white Corvette with the red stripe came from the [[MST3KMystery Science Theater 3000]]-featured action parody film [[Angels Revenge]].
* [[Replacement Scrappy]]: Tawnia is this to Amy.
* [[The Scrappy]]: Frankie Santana, a fifth member added to the cast during it'sits last season. His character is almost the same as that of both Face and Murdock. He's Casanova like Face and especially crazy like Murdock. In the first seven episodes of the same season, the writers thought it was a good idea to make Frank a new Murdock to BA (while the real Murdock has been Flanderized into a really sane man). BA even said/make the usual things/threats to Frank he usually says to Murdock. The writers seems to realise it didn't work, so they teamed up Frankie more with Face and Murdock for the remainder of the series.
** General Hunt Stockwell, for apparently taking over the show, as well his attitude towards the team. Despite being played perfectly by Robert Vaughn, he still remains a Scrappy to many.
** Tawnia Baker. While Amy did have some popularity, Tawnia was nothing but an anchor hanging on your legs, as she constantly wants to be on the team, and tried to shoehorn in every situation. If you look at the reaction of the guys, it's easy to imagine they really didn't like her. The writers even let the team do some [[Character Shilling]] about her.
Line 33 ⟶ 32:
** B.A. thought there was something wrong with the implication that they were gay in "There Goes the Neighborhood".

{{DEFAULTSORT:A-Team, The}}
* [[Acceptable Ethnic Targets]]: [[Played With]] and nearly invoked, as the [[Big Bad]] is apparently an Arabian business man (shemagh and huge-ass beard)... only to be neatly subverted when it is revealed that the {{spoiler|"Arab" behind everything is actually General Morrison in disguise}}.
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: '''Murdock'''.
** Everyone in the A-Team could qualify, though to a slightly lesser degree.
** "Are they trying to shoot down that UAV?" "No... they're trying to fly that tank."
* [[The A-Team (TV)/Awesome|Crowning Moment of Awesome]]
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Found [[Film/Funny|here]].
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: [http://www.youtube.com/user/officialateammovie#p/c/2C2C6B65B50221C9/0/aOEn-OfqPIk Murdock's Mix].
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Murdock, for [[District 9 (Film)|obvious reasons]].
* [[Freud Was Right]]: In the [[Too Kinky to Torture]] scene with Pike where he is giving his would-be assassin tips on how to assemble the gun and shoot him, the way the would-be assassin holds the gun is sort of...[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|odd]].
* [[Ho Yay]]: Oh so very much.
