* {{Corpsing}}: When B.A. and Murdock are about to leave on the garbage truck, Creator/DwightSchultz obviously gives a cue, but Creator/MrT can't get the truck into gear. Schultz repeats the cue, then turns his head and grins quickly at Mr. T, who is obviously trying not to laugh. Schultz turns back and gives the cue again, and Mr. T finally gets the truck into gear.

* NotInTheFace: When one of Charlie's underlings ends up stuck in the backseat of a cab Face is using just as he has to go back to the street to prepare for the showdown, he threatens to punch him. Face responds, "Not in the face." However, as he's already employed safety equipment to keep the guy away from him, he says it very in a very blase style, unlike the usual versions of the trope.

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Played with. Hannibal, posing as a mild-mannered shopeeper, gets punched by one of Charlie's men, who is "reminding" him about the next payment, and he groans and bends over. After they're gone, one of the locals examines Hannibal and finds that the punch broke one or two of his ribs. Hannibal doesn't even want to stop to call a doctor and simply says, "[[CatchPhrase I love it when a plan comes together]]" in a less jovial tone than usual.
