* JinxGame: The episode "Jinx" involves Olive and Otto contracting the titular disease, which causes them to speak at the same time. It soon spreads throughout the precinct, with the only characters immune being Oscar (who had contracted it before and gained immunity) and Dr. O, who must find the villain Jimmy Jinx and retrieve his Jinx Cube to cure everyone.

* DeceptivelyCuteCritter: Centigurps are cute fuzzy spherical creatures that lure curious agents into freeing them from their confinements and allowing them to multiply rapidly by exposing them to light. From there, they gravitate to objects in the shape of spheres. About the only thing that makes them not so cute are their disturbingly human-like eyes, which are hidden under their fur.

* FearInducedIdiocy: During the Ring Toss section of the O Games, Otto begins to panic because he doesn't want to get hit by a robot princess. Not wanting to be disqualified, he goes from playing defense throughout the entire game to throwing all ten of his rings backwards in the hopes that he'll score some points. He quickly realizes that wasn't the best course of action and rushes to catch his rings before they can be stolen, but manages to get all ten rings around one robot princess, score 100 points, and be the first contestant to qualify for the final round anyway.

* NowAllowedToHug: Otis is largely averse to shows of affection like hugs, opting for polite handshakes instead. In the Season 2 finale, he starts to give a handshake to Oprah, only for her to refuse it and tell him to "bring it in." He willingly obliges, joining in a GroupHug with his coworkers.

* JokersLoveJunkFood: Otto, known to be a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, has quite an appetite as well as a sweet tooth for donuts in particular. "Oscar and the Oscarbots" has him being upset about being dragged away from the Donut Room by a frantic Oscar (and him getting excited about the Cake Room when he's informed of its existence), while "Hold the Door" has him wanting to take Ori to the Donut Room instead of the Lab with the counterargument that "donuts are a good foundation for life!"

* TimeTravelersDinosaur: Part of the crux of Season 3's StoryArc involves a group of villains who are looking to use the Golden Sundial for their own personal gain, planning to defeat Odd Squad through summoning creatures from past history such as dinosaurs. However, they don't manage to succeed due to the Mobile Unit's interference. In addition, while they're not there due to time travel, Odd Squad ''does'' house dinosaurs of all sorts of species, which have been shown to ally with them once or twice.

* EccentricAI: Oscar's Oscarbots are just as eccentric and ditzy as their creator, right down to copying said creator's physical tics and mannerisms due to being RidiculouslyHumanRobots. In "No Ifs, Ands, or Robots", Oscar's repair on an Oscarbot goes awry when Orchid ends up scaring Oscar, causing the Oscarbot to become corrupted so it shoots a beam at a gadget to turn it into a juice box, and the rest of the episode is spent trying to stop it from turning people and objects into juice boxes. Within its defectiveness, it follows a specific pattern of going by tens, meaning that whatever it attacks has a number ending in 0 on it (10, 20, 30, etc.).

13579, which operates out of Toronto.

Characters include:



* '''Agent Opal''', a 10-year-old Odd Squad agent who works in the desolate and empty Arctic where nothing odd occurs and craves adventure to the point of wanting to get reassigned to another precinct entirely. The ''de facto'' leader of the Odd Squad Mobile Unit, she bears a strong competitive streak and refuses to back down from a challenge.
* '''Agent Omar''', Opal's partner who also works in the Arctic. He's not exactly the brightest agent of the organization, but his [[ThePollyanna optimism]] and passion for collecting souvenirs is unrivaled and he tends to serve as the Odd Squad Mobile Unit's mediator when conflict arises.
* '''Agent Oswald''', the head of the Odd Squad Museum of Natural Odd in New York City who joins up with Opal and Omar on their quest to find an AncientArtifact. A CowardlyLion who would prefer to stay out of the action rather than throw himself into the fire, he is the brains of the group who tends to serve as a voice of reason at times.
* '''Agent Orla''', an Odd Squad Protector who has guarded an AncientArtifact for centuries within an Odd Squad Headquarters situated deep in the Amazon rainforest. Following her induction into the Odd Squad Mobile Unit, she is a FishOutOfTemporalWater who is confused about the modernities around her and would rather solve things [[LeeroyJenkins head-on]] rather than take the time to think things through.
* '''Esmerelda Kim''', a girl who wants to join Opal and co. on their adventures but is often too busy with other responsibilities to do so. Midway through Season 3, she becomes Opal's replacement under her real name of Osmerelda Kim.
* '''Orpita''', later known by her title of '''[[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Little O]]'''. A student at the Odd Squad Academy who was originally laid-back and dangerously carefree before going through CharacterDevelopment as the NumberTwo of Odd Squad, becoming more focused and coolheaded in a wide variety of tense situations.
* '''Agent Orli''', one of the new hires of the United Kingdom Odd Squad precinct who arrives from her home in Niagara Falls to assist with the rising oddness rates.
* '''Agent Ozzie''', another new hire of the United Kingdom Odd Squad precinct and Orli's partner.
* '''Agent Onom''', a Scientist who is known to be rather quirky.
* '''Agent Orwell''', a Security agent who is a DeadpanSnarker.
* '''[[TheCaptain Captain O]]''', moreso known by...well, [[OddNameOut just that.]] She is the leader of the United Kingdom Odd Squad precinct who absolutely loves ''anything'' having to do with the water. This, of course, includes anything nautical.

* TroublesomePet: The first and only appearance of Whoops, Oprah's dog from "Puppet Show", involves him snatching Oscar's bone-shaped gadget from his hands, which is needed to turn everyone back into humans. After a long chase through Headquarters, Otto, knowing that Whoops will only give up the bone if he has something else to chew on, offers himself as a sacrifice and tells Olive to throw him, but due to having been turned into a puppet, it has little effect. It takes Oprah giving Whoops a juice box for him to finally give up the gadget.

* BreakingOldTrends:
** Season 3 deviates from the norm of focusing on two Investigation agents, an Odd Squad Director, and a Scientist, instead focusing on four agents who are collectively known as the Odd Squad Mobile Unit along with Oprah, who is the Big O. The second half of the season switches things up and replaces Opal with Osmerelda Kim and Oprah with Orpita, who is the Little O.
** Season 4 focuses on an Odd Squad precinct in the United Kingdom. It has a core cast of seven characters, including two Investigation agents, a Security officer, a Scientist, an Odd Squad Director, a Food and Beverage worker, and an agent in an entirely new department, though the two Investigation agents, Orli and Ozzie, are the main characters.

* QuirkyDoctor:
** Dr. O from Seasons 1 and 2 is the [[TheComicallySerious comically serious]] Head Doctor of the Medical department at Precinct 13579, whose humor comes from being deadpan and serious enough in personality to contrast everyone else's eccentricity in an organization where eccentricity is the norm. She constantly reminds everyone that she's a doctor regardless of whether they're aware of it or not, drinks unicorn tears as a favorite food (when she's not using it in cures), and according to "Extreme Cakeover", she doesn't even have a birthday, citing that it is a medical condition she has.
** Olly, Dr. O's replacement who debuts midway through Season 2, is crazy enough to scare the resident CuteAndPsycho Scientist Oona out of her wits with her actions -- handing Oona random food and changing her undershirt without touching her once, having a strange vendetta against Precinct 13579's cafeteria workers, and having an original birth name of "New Dr. O" before getting it changed. Unlike her predecessor, she is far from competent in her job, often ComicallyMissingThePoint when it comes to properly measuring ingredients and relying on her (one-sided) best friend Oona for every medical-related thing under the sun when she doesn't work in the Medical department and thus has little knowledge of the cures for odd illnesses. By the end of Olly's debut episode, she is transferred to the Food and Beverage department, where she fares much better.

* TransparentTech: Played with. It's not entirely clear whether the show takes place in the future or not, with the ''Literature/OddSquadAgentsHandbook'' only suggesting it takes place sometime in the 2010s. However, the titular organization is very futuristic when it comes to its headquarters' designs as well as its gadgetry, some of which surpasses the inventions of RealLife, with Orpita claiming it is "at the leading edge of technology" in "Welcome to Odd Squad". The episode "Happily Ever Odd" in particular has Otis attempting to activate his smartwatch for help solving an equation, only for Oona to stop him by telling him that she doesn't want any of "that old-fashioned stuff in here" and project a transparent computer screen by shooting a beam into the air. Once the equation is solved, she blows on the screen, causing it to disappear.
