* EvilBrit: "The Inside Man" features a British gang that robs banks by pretending to be chimney sweepers, each with a heavy Cockney accent and wealth of British slang. One of them speaks so indistinguishably that DJ Tanner starts chewing gum in order to emulate his accent. The thug then spits out his own gum.

* HurricaneOfPuns: These can pile up so quickly in certain scenes that you're likely to miss one because you're still laughing (or groaning) at the previous one.
* LiteralMinded: A lot of the show's puns come from a character taking cop slang or even figures of everyday speech literally. A perp bargaining for immunity, and being given a vaccination followed by a lollipop, is one such gag.

* PerpSweating: It's a cop show spoof, so of course they're going to have some fun with this trope. Tanner barraging a suspect with a hurricane of board game puns (you're looking at Life, you're in a lot of Trouble, you'll be Sorry, etc.) is an excellent example of how this usually goes.
