History Series / NTSFSDSUV

* GenderBender: Parodied. In Season 1 Episode 3 "Exes and Oh-No's!" we learn that Agent Trent Hauser used to be married to an attractive female agent whom he worked with on a mission. She later got a sex change that transformed her into an overweight guy. Cue UnresolvedSexualTension between the two. S/he wasn't even originally a woman, apparently [[RaceLift having once been a black man]].

* AdultsDressedAsChildren: There's an episode where Trent and Piper go undercover in a high school to uncover a plot to blow up the school. Their disguise as teenagers is laughably unconvincing and hamfisted. At one point Trent runs into two other teenagers who are really [[Film/NeverBeenKissed an undercover magazine reporter]] and [[Film/BackToTheFuture a guy from the future who is trying to ensure that his parents will conceive him]].

* EpisodeOnAPlane: The episode "Comic Con Air" spoofs the movie ''Film/ConAir'', except this time the prisoner transport plane is taken over by a group of nerds.

* EnhanceButton: Parodied. They're even able to search through the person in the picture's pockets with it.

* SerialSpouse: Agent Trent Hauser mentions that he's been married six times. His bos Kove has been married ''eleven'' times, including with Trent.

* HeroicDolphin: Inverted. There's an episode featuring a dolphin who's also a SerialKiller. In fact, he's a copycat of another dolphin (voiced by Creator/MarkHamill!) who has already been imprisoned for it, and whom Trent [[ConsultingAConvictedKiller visits to ask for his advice]].

* Jessie Nichols (Creator/RebeccaRomijn), a HotScientist;

* LaserHallway: Parodied when the team has to break into the NTSF database mainframe, which is protected by a single laser beam. Piper changes into a SpyCatsuit and does a full minute of gyrations and stripper poses around the laser before she gets past it (clearly parodying ''Film/{{Entrapment}}'' in particular). Her two colleagues just casually hop over it with one step.

* HollywoodNerd: Parodied. All the characters refer to the "nerds" as unattractive, despite being played by models wearing lab-coats and glasses.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The team thinks that Trent has been brainwashed to assassinate the President of the Navy when he returns from his holiday in Hawaii with a SurferDude persona. Meanwhile, Alphonse has just returned from his holiday "with the great and hospitable people of Yemen", but everybody just ignores how obviously robotic he acts.

* VillainExitStageLeft: Invoked by Trent when a minor villainous female spy tries to run away and he keeps insisting that "there's no time" and "we'll never find her anyway" despite her standing around at the other end of the hall waiting for an elevator and his colleague having a clear line of sight to shoot her.

* AdultsDressedAsChildren: There's an episode where Trent and Piper go undercover in a high school to uncover a plot to blow up the school. Their disguise as teenagers is laughably unconvincing and hamfisted. At one point Trent runs into two other teenagers who are really an undercover magazine reporter and [[Film/BackToTheFuture a guy from the future who is trying to ensure that his parents will conceive him]].

* FandomBerserkButton: In-universe. Sam is ordered to drive around San Diego and perform several tasks by a mysterious criminal over the phone. This includes going to a flower shop bearing a sign reading "I hate Series/DowntonAbbey". When a mob of angry women gather around him, he protests that he doesn't even watch "Downtown Abbey". Their furious response: "It's Downto'''n''' Abbey!".
