* NerdsAreNaive: Murray gets his heart broken more than once when he misunderstands the motives of a pretty woman, thinking that she is romantically attracted to him.

* PotteryBarnPoor: Averted, even though many fans ask how the boys can afford a houseboat, speedboat, helicopter, truck and a classic Corvette. It's mentioned that Cody saved for six years to buy the Riptide, which is, as Rainey and Annie say in "Girls Night Out," not a luxury yacht. It has only two bedrooms (Cody and Nick share one while Murray is crammed into the other with his computers), one bathroom, and a tiny kitchen. And the helicopter is old and often needs repairs.
** Nick may have also saved for years to buy and restore the Vette.

* SmokingIsCool: In contrast to the DrugsAreBad mentality that they seem to have, Nick, Cody and Murray all smoke cigars to celebrate successfully completing cases. The victory cigars, and occassional beers, seem to be the guys' only vices.

* BrainsAndBrawn: Combined with BigGuy, LittleGuy. Little, skinny guy Murray is the Brains; his larger, more muscular, partners Nick and Cody are the Brawn.
** And they even refer to each other as "big guy" and "little guy," as noted above.
** If they were women, Nick, a former football player, would be the Brawn; Murray the Brains; and well-dressed, blond Cody would be the Beauty. Although all three have their female admirers.

* GoryDiscretionShot: In "Smiles We Left Behind," Nick and Murray view a body found in a city dump, thinking [[spoiler: that it's the missing relative of their client]]. The officer warns them of the condition of the body, and uncovers it so they see it, but the body isn't actually shown. Nick's and Murray's faces say it all, and Murray, looking nauseated, covers his mouth with his hand and quickly walks away. Later, after they've left the dump, Nick gently asks Murray if he's okay.
