Creator Cameo
 Angie Tribeca / int_127fc252
comment
Creator Cameo: Nancy Walls Carell, one of the creators of the show, appears in the pilot and the second season finale as the mayor's wife. You can occasionally hear Steve Carell in voice-over cameos. For example in one episode where Angie visits a prison, Carell is heard yelling from off-camera commenting on her hair.

The gym teacher who kidnapped Geils and trapped him in a bomb vest in the first season finale. His actions led to Angie's coma in season two, which led to Geils dating Scholls and raising their child with her, which led to Angie's Heroic BSoD, which led to her teaming up with Eddie to kill Mayor Perry.

Darker and Edgier: Season 2, while still retaining much of the humor from Season 1, has several (often recurring) plot points that are taken fairly seriously, in addition to the relatively darker and more desaturated color scheme compared to Season 1.

The Cameo
 Angie Tribeca / int_1b65dfad
comment
The Cameo: Every episode has at least one major guest star popping up somewhere during the case. Among them: Lisa Kudrow, James Franco, Adam Scott, Amy Smart, David Koechner, Slash, Keegan-Michael Key and Bill Murray. Alfred Molina has a recurring role as Dr. Edelweiss. Most notably, Rashida Jones' real-life mother, Peggy Lipton, play Angie's mother. Nancy Walls Carell, who co-created the show with her husband Steve Carell, has a cameo in several episodes as the mayor's wife. Jon Hamm pops up in the first episode of the second season as Geils' partner, called the best cop around but immediately transferred with "bye" his only line. Joe Jonas appears as a police officer in an episode around the suspicious death of a boy band member. Danny Trejo and Gene Simmons play themselves in "Inside Man". Even funnier when one knows that Danny Trejo is an ex-convict in real life.

Funny Background Event: While Angie and Geils question an unhelpful witness, Tanner is shown to be using various and increasingly dramatic methods to get a frozen corpse out a fridge. In "Boyz II Men", while Angie and Sgt. Pepper take a stroll through the woods, we see a skeleton chained to a tree with a sign that says "Save the trees"; a man with a cleaver chasing two young women; and a leprechaun hiding behind a tree.

Perp Sweating: It's a cop show spoof, so of course they're going to have some fun with this trope. Tanner barraging a suspect with a hurricane of board game puns (you're looking at Life, you're in a lot of Trouble, you'll be Sorry, etc.) is an excellent example of how this usually goes. Angie and Geils also quite literally sweat a perp by turning the interview room into a steam room.

Becoming the Mask
 Angie Tribeca / int_44606d14
comment
Becoming the Mask: Either played with or deconstructed with Geils in "Beach Blanket Sting-O". He eagerly volunteers to go undercover as a fat-shaming lifeguard to find out who is dealing drugs, and stays for a long period of time. He does this and admits it is due to not wanting to deal with the stress from being a new father, being in a relationship with Scholls while still having feelings for Tribeca, guilt from leaving Tribeca while she was in a coma, and lying about his baby with Tribeca to Scholls. What snaps him out of it is when Tribeca makes him realize that he was inadvertently bodyshaming his baby to the point where he had come to the beach fully dressed with a jacket and pants—on what was apparently the hottest day of the year.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall
 Angie Tribeca / int_4a3e547f
comment
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: In "Electoral Dysfunction," Angie's mom (played by Rashida Jones' mother Peggy Lipton) cameos with the comment "I thought it'd be fun to do something together." Natalie Portman's guest appearance in a Season 3 episode, has her saying this as an aside: In the second season finale, James Franco, in character as Sergeant Pepper, lampshades how confusing the Gambit Pileup is while saying that he's only making a cameo as a favor to one of his friends. In "Boyz II Dead" a witness strips to the waist so the police can examine an autograph on her left breast. When they're finished Geils says, "Thanks so much, ma'am. You can remove the pixellation and put your shirt back on." During the second season premier, Angie snaps at Monica for no good reason. Jay takes her aside and says, "Hey, if you're going to lose your mind every time you fall into a coma and I abandon you for another woman, who then raises your baby thinking it's my Canadian love child, it's gonna be a long second season."

"Ferret Royale" opens with a police raid on a house, ignoring major crimes including an obvious kidnap victim, intoning "Nothing here." It then turns out their target has been... a ferret. There's also "Tribeca's Day Off", in which she willfully ignores an ongoing robbery at the grocery store because she's off duty.

The Conspiracy: Eddie Pepper creates Mayhem Global, an organization that is dedicated to bringing down Mayor Perry. Things escalate over time, and they go from trying to get him out of office to just killing him. Angie ends up involved in this.

Gag Censor: In the first episode when Angie goes undercover as a nude model, one of the art students is seen working on a pixellated pencil sketch of her - meaning he actually went to the trouble of drawing the pixels. A later episode has Angie and other women walking around topless or nude in a change room, with any "sensitive areas" pixellated.

The Reveal
 Angie Tribeca / int_6b2b3b59
comment
Towards the end of Season 3, before the truth comes out, Geils learns the hard way why police don't negotiate with terrorists. Siglet promises to release Scholls and stop the animal attacks if all of the zoos close and the animals are freed. Against the advice of Angie and Pritkins, Geils decides to do what Siglet asked. This results in more people dying and Scholls still not being freed (she escapes on her own). Mayor Perry basically suspends him for his actions.

Fanservice: The opening of the pilot has Angie doing chin-ups in the shower; later she poses as a nude model for an art class. Geils will also go shirtless from time to time. We see Angie's nude back and a hint of Side Boob during the dream sequence in the second season premiere. Played with when Monica calls up to the squad room that she's reading in a bubble bath in her lab. The place is soon filled with cops who are eager to peek under the bubbles. Monica then rises up to reveal she's completely dressed in the water, disappointing them all.

Punny Name: Many characters have goofy names just so the writers can shoehorn in a joke or a Shout-Out. Examples include forensic scientist Dr. Monica Scholls or wedding planner Jean Naté. Many characters are named after musicians, but it's sometimes obfuscated by spelling them differently or not stating the full name at once, such as the deuteragonist Jay Geils and Mayor Joe Perry's wife Katy.

Swiss-Cheese Security: Parodied in "The Thumb Affair", when a velvet rope and a "Do Not Touch" sign are revered by art gallery visitors as though they were a high-tech security system. The thief is considered brilliant for unhooking the rope and crossing out the word "Not" to change the meaning of the sign. The super-max prison housing Dr. Thomas Hornbein in Season 3 has fairly lax rules about security. Hornbein, a convicted serial killer, can simply open his cell door to help Angie find her way out and assist in validating parking.

Angie reaches this as well once the perp they arrested got off on an insanity plea for killing his bandmate. The final straw comes when the Coast Guard is revealed to be part of a conspiracy to bring in Canadians to help vote for Dreyfuss in the upcoming election, and all her fellow officers care about is that they caught the killer. So, she throws in with Eddie.

Like Angie, she was a female in law enforcement; unlike Angie, however, she played more to her feminine strengths, giving her something in common with Scholls. Sadly, she was working with Mayhem Global to hack websites and the LAPD, and she almost bested Angie in a fight complete with costume changes...until Angie tapped into her own femininity and defeated her.

Left the Background Music On: An example with background noise instead of music. Apparently there's a guy at the precinct whose only job is to sit behind a sound board and provide enough "hubbub" so that the place sounds really busy. In another scene, when bass music plays as Tribeca and Geils have a conversation in their car, it's revealed that there is a bassist playing in the back seat. When Tribeca and Geils start to question a bar full of sailors, Geils clicks a remote to turn off the ambient rock music playing in the background.

Homage: Many episodes appear to pull part or all their plots from specific television series or movies, not just the genre as a whole. Watching this show can cause some serious déjà vu. Sledge Hammer!. Either that or they're recycling some of the gags and hoping nobody remembers. A spoof of cop shows set in an absurd world with a bunch of deadpan dialogue? Police Squad!, anybody? "Ferret Royale" lifts its entire poker game sequence from Casino Royale (2006), including the part where Felix bankrolls Bond. "If You See Something, Solve Something": Blindspot. The first scene in particular is eerily similar. Every episode of Season Four is a parody of a specific movie or TV show; for example, "Freezing Cold Prestige Drama" is one of Fargo.

In general, any female suspect or villain is this to Angie and other female cops, based usually on how they are more feminine than the cops are. A big clue for Diane Duran being a villain could be that she was the first female cop that wasn't masculine in any way.

Ironic Echo Cut: While driving, Tribeca tells Geils not to get attached to her because she's bad luck to partners. Cut to Geils holding a photo of the two of them in a "BFF" picture frame, then casually tossing it out the window. And then again in Season 2, when Angie tells Geils that he shouldn't want anything to do with her. Cut to him quickly tossing away the engagement ring he's suddenly holding. Also, Geils begs Tanner not to leave him alone with Scholls after they had broken up. Cut to Scholls and Tanner making out.

Ambiguously Bi: Some of the ladies appear to be attracted to Angie, but the signs aren't as blatant as when Laurie Partridge hit on her. During "Murder in the First Class", Angie wonders how Vivian is able to manipulate men with her obvious flirting. After she mockingly imitates Vivian's behavior in Scholls' presence, Scholls asks Angie out for coffee. Apparently the technique is so effective it works on Scholls even when Angie isn't actually trying to use it. At the end of "License to Drill", Luikin admits to spying on Tribeca, including through her webcam:

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Revealing that the chef of a Japanese diner is the killer, Geils talks of how he did the crime with flashbacks showing it. As Geils says "one thing I don't understand..." he's interrupted by Angie as the camera shows that the resturant is now a mess with several dead bodies around, indicating a massive fight broke out during Geils' monologue. After a standoff with a house full of Satanic cultists, Geils tells Angie that Hoffman (the dog) kicked the door down, burst in, and took out a dozen members by himself. In "Boyz II Dead", Tanner auditions as a boy band member and has to show his dance moves. For almost the entirety of his act, we only see Geils and the manager looking absolutely amazed at what he can do, apparently.

Shout-Out
 Angie Tribeca / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Lots, often through Punny Names or throwaway lines: "Murder in the First Class" features a Boeing 767 that mysteriously transforms into an old propeller-driven plane in the air and loud propeller noises being dubbed in over scenes set in the 767's cockpit. This is in reference to Airplane!, which Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker originally wanted to be set on an old propeller planenote the film was originally inspired by Zero Hour!, a B-movie set on a propeller plane but ended up being set on a contemporary jetliner. ZAZ showed their displeasure at this change by having the jetliner's engine noises being dubbed over with propeller sounds. "Freezing Cold Prestige Drama" from season 4 is one giant homage not only to Fargo, but other The Coen Brothers works like No Country for Old Men. Complete with everyone adopting the accents and Minnesota Nice attitudes.

Obvious Stunt Double: Played for laughs in the pilot, with Hayes MacArthur being doubled by a much smaller man in a bad wig during Le Parkour sequences, with the actor and stuntman even appearing together in the same frame. Rashida Jones is also briefly doubled by a man with incredibly burly and hairy forearms. When Mayor Perry is targeted for assassination, the heroes send his wife out to a photo op with a mannequin in tow. The public laps it up.

Mundane Made Awesome: Not only is Geils a longtime admirer of ventriloquism, but apparently ventriloquists are world-famous celebrities who collect trophy wives and go on sold-out world tours. In one episode, Dr. Edelweiss slowly descends downstairs on a powered stairlift seat all while dramatic rock music plays. A woman screams in shock and awe when she opens her new refrigerator and discovers the voluminous storage space inside. She does it again when the installer reveals the lettuce crisper. When Angie goes after a badminton players for a hit-and-run, she faces huge pressure as the man is considered the top star of a billion-dollar sport.

Bag of Holding: On her day off, Angie comes home with a bag of groceries containing way too many items to plausibly fit in there, including a package of about 20 rolls of toilet paper and a ladder. "You've Got Blackmail" starts with a hooded figure entering a coffee shop wearing an ordinary backpack. Said person sits down and takes out a laptop, headphones, wireless router, photo in a frame, poster, floor lamp, and a catnote ...a real housecat. A fairly large one. "If You See Something, Solve Something": a woman crawls out of a child's backpack. "Hey, I'm Solvin' Here!": Geils travels inside a suitcase.

comment
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Towards the end of Season 3, before the truth comes out, Geils learns the hard way why police don't negotiate with terrorists. Siglet promises to release Scholls and stop the animal attacks if all of the zoos close and the animals are freed. Against the advice of Angie and Pritkins, Geils decides to do what Siglet asked. This results in more people dying and Scholls still not being freed (she escapes on her own). Mayor Perry basically suspends him for his actions. In the last few minutes of Season 3, some people come by to arrest Angie for murder of the real Angie Tribeca. Angie, being a cop, doesn't bother to protest her innocence, goes quietly, and knows the very best thing she can do is keep her mouth shut until her lawyer arrives, despite all of the good that she had done during the previous three seasons.

Evil Brit
 Angie Tribeca / int_f2d29e14
comment
Evil Brit: "The Inside Man" features a British gang that robs banks by pretending to be chimney sweepers, each with a heavy Cockney accent and wealth of British slang. One of them speaks so indistinctly that DJ Tanner puts a handful of gumballs in his mouth in order to emulate his accent. Tanner proceeds to make a number of mumbled threats that are so terrifying that the thug then spits out a mouthful of marbles in order to comprehensibly spill his guts.

Dumbass Has a Point: One of their suspects in "Miso Dead" pointed out that they should care just as much about animals as they do people, because animals don't have people solving their murders.

Product Placement
 Angie Tribeca / int_f511ea9b
comment
Product Placement: Oh, yes. And the show drops all pretenses of subtlety with it: The pilot has a running gag in which a giant "www.(Ford logo).com" shows up in the bottom of the screen every time Angie and Geils get into or out of their car (which is a different Ford each time). When they're out of car scenes, it just randomly shows up while they're in the office. In "The Famous Ventriloquist Did It," Tanner and Geils spend a good minute talking about how a Snickers candy bar really satisfies. And there's the gag with the Hasbro Board Games mentioned with Perp Sweating, above. "Contains Graphic Designer Violence" briefly takes a moment to have Geils, Tanner, and Atkins take part in a Little Caesars advertisement, with a uniform cop performing the jingle.

His Name Really Is "Barkeep"

comment
His Name Really Is "Barkeep": "Fleas Don't Kill Me": He's a John Doe until we find some ID. His real name? John Doughnote pronounced DOE-zh, of course. And his wife's name is Jane. The guard's name is "Guard" in "If You See Something, Solve Something".

Shoo Out the Clowns
 Angie Tribeca / int_f97b5d33
comment
Shoo Out the Clowns: Several of Season 1's recurring gag characters, such as the vomiting cop and the guy who screams during the opening credits, were removed for Season 2 to accentuate the season's more focused and downplayed sense of humor.

Running Gag
 Angie Tribeca / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: The first season had several: Almost every episode features a cop (played by Dillon Paigen) who vomits at the sight of every crime scene, even when it's something non-graphic like a missing painting. In the first season the opening credits have a loud scream over them as part of the theme tune, which often cuts to the same cop having injured himself in some way. Because they Replaced the Theme Tune in season 2, this gag stops appearing. When they get out of their car, either Angie or Geils rants about no longer wanting to hear about a personal aspect of the other's life with the other replying that they just asked about the time or weather. Angie will begin a line with "let's just say..." and everyone around will repeat the sentence with her. Dr. Edelweiss will enter acting as if he has a handicap (in a wheelchair or blind) but then turns out to be perfectly fine. No one will comment on his "disability" or why he fakes it.

Well-Intentioned Extremist
 Angie Tribeca / int_fd4f8299
comment
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Mayhem Global, led by Sergeant Pepper. For a light-hearted parody, he ends up being a Deconstruction of the trope. His efforts to ruin Mayor Perry's campaign become more violent and illegal, resulting in more support for the Mayor. This leads to him resorting to murder and manipulating Angie into taking the fall for him in order to further his goals. In the end, he not only fails at what he was trying to achieve, but his actions basically lead to Mayor Perry's victory. Not to mention that Diane Duran disappears, allowing Geils to take her place. Also, Angie betrays him after being reminded that she has a child and therefore something to fight for. In the end, he is left all alone.

Theme Naming
 Angie Tribeca / int_fd94c4ac
comment
Theme Naming: It's common for characters to be named after rock musicians - for example, Jay Geils, Chet Atkins, and Alan Parsons. Two characters in 'Tribeca's Day Off' have the same names as John Travolta and Christian Slater's characters in the movie Broken Arrow, though it is never referenced.

Fun with Subtitles
 Angie Tribeca / int_fdb355db
comment
Fun with Subtitles: Going into a Japanese restaurant, Angie and Geils talk to the chef, who speaks perfect English. Despite that, subtitles run for the entire conversation, including Angie and Geils and even the sound effect of a slap. When the chef finishes in a perfectly understandable voice, the subtitles say "Garbled."
