* AutoErotica: Steven and Griet often engage in this, most likely because it's one of the few places they get enough privacy. They're even shown "rocking Steven's car" in the first episode.

** Chantal and commissioner Vanderlinden also end up doing this in the series' final episode. They even end up doing it twice, after Chantal remarks that the first time was a bit short.



* ChaseScene: The final episode of the series has one, where Steven and Frank are chasing the henchmen of Maurice, while they're all dressed as [=WWI=] soldiers (they were all part of a reenactment). The chase is made funnier by the fact that Frank has a pebble in his shoe, causing him to limp. The chase on foot is subsequently followed by a (rather awesome) car chase, where Steven (instead of Frank) shows his skills at rally riding.



* EroticEating: Chantal does this in the final episode with a lollipop during a stake-out, arousing commissioner Vanderlinden in the process. They end up having sex shortly after.



* {{Jerkass}}: Lucien is considered to be this by most of the other people in Wijtschate. None of them, therefore, feel particularly bad when Lucien ends up in jail on drug charges.
--> '''Julita''' ''[to Fluppe]'': Do you know Lucien?
--> '''Fluppe''' ''[muttering in West Flemish]]'': Oh, I definitely know Lucien...
--> '''Julita''': Why do you say it like that?
--> '''Fluppe''' ''[BlatantLies]'': Oh nothing... Lucien and I are good, he's a great guy!

Piet Despriet, the magistrate, as he's a great guy!planning on turning on them and is the only one (outside their organization) who knows of their crimes. His henchmen, however, end up failing to assassinate him.



* IdioticPartnerConfession: Frank ends up doing this to commissioner Vanderlinden, after losing his temper, while Steven and Jos urge him to shut up.
--> '''Frank''' ''[to commissioner Vanderlinden]'': I'll tell you what we're up to...
--> '''Frank''': We're going to reveal every bad thing you've done!
--> '''Steven''': Shut up, Frank...
--> '''Frank''': No, kleine, this is between me and him!
--> '''Vanderlinden''': And what have I been up to, according to you?
--> '''Frank''': Erm... well... You framed me! You and your friend Maurice, who runs this place!
--> '''Vanderlinden''': What...
--> '''Frank''': Don't play dumb with me!
--> '''Jos''': Come on, Frank, let's go!

** Frank does it again several episodes later, when he tells the bribed magistrate that he (and the police) are on to everything.
---> '''Steven''': Frank, where have you been so long?
---> '''Frank''': Well, I was looking for a shoehorn to remove my shoe and then... I ran into the magistrate.
---> '''Steven''': Tell me you didn't...
---> '''Frank''': It wasn't my fault, he called me a fool!



* ImpressivePyrotechnics: The reenactment of "De Mijnenslag" held in the final episode had this, as the eponymous mines had caused a boom that could be heard in London and felt in Paris. Too bad a clumsy action on Frank's behalf caused all of the pryotechnics to go off prematurely, somewhat undermining this point.



* IWillShowYouX: After Frank's car gets blown up, he demands that Chantal and commissioner Vanderlinden arrest the magistrate straight away, as he's to blame as well. When Vanderlinden tells him that they need concrete evidence against the magistrate, Frank responds with this trope.
--> '''Frank''': Evidence?! Give me five minutes with the guy and you'll have your evidence!

** Commissioner Vanderlinden also uses this trope, when Chantal remarks that the intercourse they just had was a bit on the short side.
---> '''Vanderlinden''': So it was too short, huh? I will show you short!
---> ''[Chantal and Vanderlinden start another make-out session]''
---> '''Vanderlinden''' ''[several unrelated scenes later]'': Well, we can't have missed much, can we, on account of how short it all was...

* LateArrivalSpoiler: Ria has this reaction, after the vicar spoils the outcome of the [=WWI=] reenactment for her, despite the actual war taking place 100 years earlier. This is played for laughs (and even expanded upon), when things start to go off script for the reenactment, which gives Ria hope that the outcome might be different this time around.
--> '''Ria''': I wonder who's going to win...
--> '''Vicar''': Why, the British, of course!
--> '''Ria''': Spoilers!
--> '''Vicar''': Well, they won a hundred years ago...
--> '''Ria''': And did they blow up the mines prematurely as well?
--> '''Vicar''': No...
--> '''Ria''' ''[excitedly]'': So things might be different this time around!


Added DiffLines:

* MisplacedADecimalPoint: The series has a spectacular example of this, where a miscalculation of an explosives expert ends with the brother of "Den Hollander" blowing up an armoured truck, driver included. They even literally cite this trope as the cause of the unfortunate explosion.


Added DiffLines:

* NotSoFakePropWeapon: The henchmen of Maurice use not-so-fake replica's of [=WWI=] weapons to assassinate Piet during a war reenactment, who was leading said reenactment dressed as General Plummer. They end up failing due to the interference of the Welvaerts


Added DiffLines:

* RampageFromANail: While he doesn't go on a rampage, Frank does (unintentionally) cause havoc at a [=WWI=] reenactment, because he has a pebble in his shoe, which is driving him up the wall. He eventually manages to get rid of it by the end of the episode.


Added DiffLines:

* TheShowMustGoOn: This is Piet Despriet's response, after he (dressed as General Plummer) is shot at with live ammo by henchmen of Maurice, who are trying to assassinate him.
--> '''Steven''' ''[after both he and Piet got shot at]'': Shouldn't we make our way back to the trenches?
--> '''Piet''': No! This battle was a major victory for the British and General Plummer and that's not going to change today!
--> '''Piet''': Charge!
--> '''Steven''': They're still shooting! Get back here, fool!


Added DiffLines:

* WarReenactors: The series' final season ends with a war reenactment of "De Mijnenslag" and Steven, Frank, Jos and Piet end up portraying British soldiers. The reenactment quickly (and comically) goes off-script, as explosives prematurely detonate and Maurice's henchmen show up with the intend to assassinate Piet. The British end up winning regardless.

* Ventriloquism: After some on-again-off-again with Griet, Steven tries to win her back with a huge teddy bear, which he hides behind and gives a funny voice. When Griet tries to close the door on him, Steven quickly reveals himself, leading to this exchange.
