History WesternAnimation / MoonbeamCity

** Though given how kindly she treated him in the previous episode, her distrust (and shutdown) of his [[MarriageofConvenience sham wedding]], and their interaction both at the pool and after she reveals his [[spoiler:true heritage]], this could be a case of [[ShipTease ship tease]], or possibly even a future [[spoiler: [[PairTheSpares romantic]] [[BetaCouple relationship]],]] if the show is given future seasons.

* SlapSlapKiss: [[StarCrossedLovers Once a year]], at Moonbeam PD's weekend-long "Cop Con" event, [[TheHero Dazzle]] and [[UptownGirl Pizzaz]] enjoy [[spoiler:multiple rounds of passionate, unrestrained lovemaking in order to satisfy their mutual attraction, affection, and deep-seated desire for each other.]] The rest of the year they return to their [[BelligerentSexualTension mutually antagonistic bickering]].

* BoobsOfSteel: Hard to see due to their modest clothing, but both Pizzaz and Chrysalis are rather well-endowed in the chest area.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The ridiculously large revolver Dazzle uses during the Firearms Aptitude Test in Episode 9.

* BoobsOfSteel: Hard to see due to their modest clothing, but both Pizzaz and Chrysalis are rather well-endowed in the chest area. Chrysalis's rival dopplegänger on the fire department, who is topless except suspenders, makes this clear.

* DudeNotFunny: Dazzle's joking/fantasizing to Pizzaz and Chrysalis about finding Rad's poisoned and mutilated body floating in a river. Pizzaz and Chrysalis are both understandably horrified at Dazzle's casual attitude and vivid description, and his mouthing-off quickly comes back to haunt him when [[spoiler:he is wrongly sent to maximum security prison for the 'murder' of Rad.]]

* SlapSlapKiss: [[StarCrossedLovers Once a year]], at Moonbeam PD's weekend-long "Cop Con" event, [[TheHero Dazzle]] and [[UptownGirl Pizzaz]] enjoy [[spoiler:multiple rounds of passionate, unrestrained lovemaking in order to satisfy their mutual [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther attraction, affection, and deep-seated desire]] for each other.]] The rest of the year they return to their [[BelligerentSexualTension mutually antagonistic bickering]].
* SleepingWithTheBoss: See "Slap-Slap-Kiss". Also, in Episode 6, Pizzaz is forced to sleep with the Mayor to keep the Police department from being absorbed by their much more functional Fire Department.
* SlutShaming: One chunk of the abuse Pizzaz's sisters throw at her is calling her a whore and a slut.

* SociopathicHero: Dazzle shows more sympathy to the lives of his fictional identities than those of the public he is sworn to protect.
* SoProudOfYou: Commodore Miller to Pizzaz after [[spoiler: his frozen body is shattered into pieces by accident.]]
* SoundEffectBleep: A synth sound is used to bleep out profanity.
* StartOfDarkness: Moonbeam City used to be a splendid habitat built upon Commodore Vector Azimuth Miller's bountiful laser-mining operation; within a single generation, it went from a desolate marshland to an enormous metropolis. Unfortunately, four of the Commodore's daughters squandered the family fortune on mindless self-indulgence and inane causes. When the lasers ran out, so did most of the jobs, and with such a flimsy social infrastructure preventing more from manifesting, much of the population turned to crime; a spike in civil unrest that the relatively new and undermanned Moonbeam City Police Department was ill-equipped to handle.
* SurveillanceAsThePlotDemands: ''Crimezappers'' is capable of pulling up footage recorded in the sewers. This gets lampshaded by Rad and given a HandWave by the host.
* UnholyMatrimony: Figures into one of the episodes, with Pizzaz acting as its priest.

* ViceCity: Moonbeam City. Mostly due to the fact that its greatest law enforcer is a self-absorbed moron which implies that his fellow officers are even worse at their jobs than he is.

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: Rad has a completely embarrassing and pathetic one when it's revealed his ''Crimezappers'' heroism was a total lie. He admits, while sobbing hysterically, that he chickened out trying to stop the robbery, ran away, fell in the shit-filled sewer, then [[BringMyBrownPants crapped his pants]], and accidentally ate some of the shit. And that he ''liked it''. The admission ends with Rad weeping "WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!" with his eyeliner streaking down his face. He's later dubbed "Poo-Cop".]]

* WillTheyOrWontThey: Fans speculated this about Dazzle and Pizzaz. Then "[[GetaRoom Cop]] [[CoitusEnsues Con]]" aired, and we find out that this has happened before. Every year, in fact.

* RunningGag: Whenever Pizzaz threatens to fire Dazzle or do something horrible to him, the lighting on her face shifts to mimic the sun through window blinds even when that's physically impossible. It's evidently genetic as her sisters can do the same thing, with their own distinct light patterns.

* ActionGirl: Chrysalis and to a lesser extent, Pizzaz.

* AnimalMotifs: Flamingos for Dazzle, Snakes for Pizzaz, Butterflies for Chrysalis, and Mice for...Rad.

* HarsherInHindsight: In Episode 3, "Strike Visualizer", Pizzaz barks that Mayor Eo Jaxxon is "''up (her) ass''" regarding the team's inability to catch the "Moonbeam Maniac". After the airing of Episode 5, "Glitzotrene", where Jaxxon [[AbhorrentAdmirer aggressively and horrifically]] [[spoiler:[[SexualExtortion sexually extorts]] Pizzaz]] in return for keeping the PD active, viewers may find her comment in "Strike Visualizer" far less palatable to hear.

->''"Moonbeam City... always a fire burning... always a ghetto blasting... always... my home."'''

** Dazzle and Pizzaz in Episode 7, "Cop Con". [[Spoiler: In their first love scene together, Pizzaz's skirt is used as a ModestyBedsheet for both her and Dazzle, whereas in their second, her right arm and the shredded window curtain barely cover the absolute minimum on her body. Dazzle is wearing boxer briefs for some inexplicable reason.]]

** Dazzle's father is named Razzle and his father is named Frazzle.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: The Miller sisters are all vicious slappers, to the point that two of them took steroids and replaced her arm with a robotic one in order to enhance their slapping prowess.

An animated series on Creator/ComedyCentral detailing the illustrious and ill-advised misadventures of Dazzle Novak (Rob Lowe), an egotistical and easily-distracted detective of the eponymous city's Police Department. He is, however, Moonbeam City's top cop; which probably explains why his beloved metropolis is plagued with rampant crime and corruption. Working alongside (or more often against) him in his cases are junior tech underling turned beat cop, Chrysalis Tate (Creator/KateMara), police chief, Pizzaz Miller (Creator/ElizabethBanks), and his psychotic rival on the force, Rad Cunningham (Creator/WillForte).

With an art style partially inspired by the late Patrick Nagel, a SynthPop soundtrack, and drenched in the nouveau-vice trappings of TheEighties, ''Moonbeam City'' oozes style and other, less savory, fluids in this high-action cop drama gone wonderfully terribly wrong.

* {{Fanservice}}: all of the Moonbeam City firefighters are shirtless and wear only their bunker pants, including the Chrysalis-esque female member whose bunker pants' suspenders cover her nipples for modesty.
* FantasticDrug: the designer drug Glitzotrene the department invents to create a drug epidemic.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: A male example with Mayor Jaxxon aggressively harassing and bullying Pizzaz into [[spoiler:sleeping with him]] to keep the police department active, much to her disgust and shame.

* LiesDamnedLiesAndStatistics: One episode has Dazzle giving a long presentation about the occurrence and type of murder that occurs in Moonbeam City. It concludes that the results are a little off because a lot of statisticians are being murdered as well.

* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: In a report on murder statistics, Dazzle describes how many people are stabbed, shot and "spabbed" (stabbed with a knife shot out of a gun).

* RunningGag: Whenever Pizzaz threatens to fire Dazzle or do something horrible to him, the lighting on her face shifts to mimic the sun through window blinds even when that's physically impossible. It's evidently genetic as her sister can do the same thing.
