!! Just the Tropes, ma'am:

* AdultsAreUseless: Mr. & Mrs. Fulton are completely clueless about what their son is up too. They leave him at home alone for days or weeks. When Audie is arrested, Mrs. Fulton is more worried about missing her appointment than her son.
* CloseKnitCommunity: Mrs. Lassin talks about how in her old home everyone knew each other, however in LA everyone feels isolated from each other.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: The kids seem to think that getting pulled out of class and listen to a police officer talk is a good punishment for being in a gang.
* CustomUniform: While not a uniform, Bobby Lassin has a custom outfit, that is shoplifted, as part of his uniform for ''The Mod Squad''.
* DontMakeMeTakeMyBeltOff: Mrs. Lassin says that her husband will be doing this to their son when he gets home.
* JerkassRealization: When Audie sees first hand how his mother reacts to him being arrested, his expression and talk with Friday gives away that he has realized how everyone sees him.
* LessEmbarrassingTerm: ''The Mod Squad'' says they are a club, not a gang. However they operate more like a gang.
* ParentalObliviousness: Mr. & Mrs. Fulton do not have any idea that their son is in a gang. Audie even says that he hasn't seen his parents in days.
* ScareEmStraight: Friday tries to do this with ''The Mod Squad'' at their school. While the majority of the members seem to get scared, Audie tries to prove that it is all talk.
* SmugSnake: Audie Fulton proves to be one. He things he is smarter than the cops.
--> '''Audie Fulton''': Pardon me, Mr. Policeman, Fuzz, sir? May I ask you a question?
