* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's definitely the most overtly odd of his family, being something of a slob outside of rescues, a penchant for being a bit of a goof who loves bad jokes and weird conspiracy shows like "Into The Unknown With Buddy and Ellie", and overall comes off as being rather unserious a good chunk of the time. He's still a highly skilled aquanaut who knows how to take things seriously during rescues.

* AscendedExtra: While Tin-Tin did have a number of episodes where she had relevance in the original series (certainly far more than John in many cases), she was frequently held back by being a FauxActionGirl with a heavy dose of DamselInDistress, with her relevance being relegated more and more to [[StayInTheKitchen basically being on domestic duties more than anything.]] Even her potential connection to the Hood and her implied strained relationship with her father was never given any serious insight. In TAG, her difficult past with the Hood is a major part of her character arc in the first season, and while it's partly resolved in the finale, she still has a ''lot'' more episodes where she plays a prominent role against the main antagonists or just working alongside the Tracys as a fully fledged member.

Added DiffLines:

* BunnyEarsLawyer: They're a pair of odd scrap traders who talk like pirates for some reason, but they do prove that they're quite capable in the right circumstances, having equipped their ship with stealth tech and helpfully leading Alan to a pod he was looking for, and also having acquired some of his discarded boards for their own usage. That said, they're still not particularly smart, being just as able to make things worse by mistake as they are to help out.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In their first appearance, they try to shut down the automated drones in the derelict EDEN ship...except they end up reversing the commands and cause said drones to start ''breaking the ship apart'' instead of stopping them.
* TalkLikeAPirate: They talk in very exaggerated pirate accents for some reason.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Madeline in the original series was only Francois' assistant [[spoiler: and the original series' only female villain who wanted to steal Francois' revolutionary fabric for profit]]. Here, she's a genuinely nice woman who is only as curt as she is due to having to put up with her husband's idiocy.



* NotMeThisTime: In the Season 2 Episode "High Strung" he is mistakenly believed to be behind the strange situation involving a custom craft with an air balloon rapidly descending through the mountains. As it turns out, Lemaire was actually in bed after a nasty accident involving rollerblading, and it's his hired help Brandon Bearrenger who's actually in trouble.

A married pair of Australian explorers and conspiracy chasers, who go to dangerous regions of the world (and beyond) to find out if myths and legends are true for their streamed series, "Into the Unknown With Buddy and Ellie".

Added DiffLines:

* CharacterCatchphrase: Some variation of "Hey Brandon!" in an annoying voice or "Hey Bearheads" when he's talking to his fans via recording.
* HiddenDepths: He shows more self-awareness in his later appearance, with him admitting to Alan that the reason he's so unwilling to let him show up on camera is because he views Alan as far more competent and cool than himself. As he puts it, who's gonna pay attention to someone like him when a genuinely cool guy like Alan is on camera?
* KarmaHoudini: He took his boss' aircraft on a joyride and nearly gets himself and Scott into massive trouble...and ultimately gets rewarded with a promotion, to Scott's absolute frustration.
* YouthIsWastedOnTheDumb: He is ''not'' the brightest crayon in the box, deciding to take Francois Lemaire's (his ''boss'') airboat for a joyride in the middle of a ''snow storm'' in an isolated mountain region. He also does ''not'' endear himself to Scott in that rescue with his irritating behavior despite the danger they're in initially. Thankfully he wises up somewhat, and is ''much'' more tolerable in his later appearance.

* IronicName: Tanusha, depending on how it's interpreted, can mean "feminine, playful, and joyful". Kayo (at least compared to someone like Lady Penelope) is a rather tomboyish DeadpanSnarker with a bit of a complicated and dark history, especially in Season 1.

Added DiffLines:

* HiddenDepths: Ned genuinely is very talented at the wide variety of jobs that he goes through, being certified for different vehicles and able to serve refreshments with ease (albeit accidentally screwing up on the latter by accident); his luck is just absolutely abysmal though, almost always guaranteeing that his jobs don't last.


Added DiffLines:

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: An accidental case, as during his tenure as a "refreshment technician", he accidentally mucks up a sting operation by placing the tea plate onto a button meant to signal for the operation to commence. He ends up ReassignedToAntarctica for it. This is avoided in nearly every other situation, as even as panicky as he can get, he's usually not messing up, just unlucky.
