Incredibly Lame Pun is a redirect and not a trope by itself.


* InstantlyProvenWrong: Dr. O and Odell believe that the third tube is the cause of the outbreak, and when an agent comes down one and emerges saying "wheee", they are quick to rub it in O'Callaghan's face...until the agent reveals that he's not a victim of the outbreak at all, and was only saying "wheee" because he likes riding in the tubes. O'Callaghan is quick to throw his own "I'm right" reaction back at the doctors.

* DoubleMeaning: Ms. O praises the Main 4 and Obfusco for their work, and invites them to help out with the mole people dinner the following week. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_people Mole people]] can refer to either MoleMen (as in the trope), or to homeless people who live in various spots under large cities. Knowing this show, however, it's most likely the former.

* HypocriticalHumor: Obfusco remarks that he can't understand a word his sister says...when many agents have the ''same reaction'' upon meeting ''him.''
* IdiotBall: Olive and Oscar divide it amongst themselves when they decide to ruin ''four perfectly fine glass cups'' by ''dropping them on the floor'' in order to make 20 new cups. Keep in mind, these Featherites want

** As explained in NoYou below, O'Callaghan calls Dr. O a "medical emergency".
* ExpospeakGag: Occurs when Dr. O and Odell are trying to track the source of the outbreak.
--> '''Odell:''' Just one problem. How can they answer with tape on their mouths?
--> '''Dr. O:''' I got it! "One Word, Two Syllables". It's a game you play where you act out things with your hands but can't speak.
--> '''Odell:''' Charades!
--> '''Dr. O:''' Yeah, that's a way better idea than what I was thinking.
* FailedASpotCheck: The cause of the outbreak is traced to Oscar's chocolates, which are a product of the Noisemaker -- a villain who wants odd noises in the world. Oscar fell for it because he thought "Noisemaker Chocolates" were French. It's [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Olive.
--> '''Olive:''' Oscar. The Noisemaker is a villain who wants to fill the world with odd noises! Seriously, ''this'' didn't make you even a ''tiny'' bit suspicious?
--> '''Oscar:''' Well, when you hold it underneath the light like that, I can see where I ''might'' have made a mistake.
* HereWeGoAgain: Not even a ''minute'' passes between the time Otto is cured and the time he eats another Noisemaker chocolate. However, this time he produces the harp noise commonly heard with FlashbackEffects, and the end of the episode has the Main 4 plus Dr. O and Odell relaxing and reading through some comic books and magazines.

--> '''Otto:''' ''(grunts)'' [[DuctTapeForEverything I knew I should've used more tape.]]
* HotPursuit: [[PlayedForLaughs Played for laughs]] when Ms. O, making a police siren noise as a result of the outbreak, takes off after Dr. O, Odell and Olive as they head to the Odd Squad Doctors' office. When they get there, Ms. O claps a hand over her mouth as a result of Olive's protest.
* ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: While it deviates from Dr. O's original catchphrase (where she speaks the trope near-verbatim), a brief exchange with her and Olive goes like this.
--> '''Dr. O:''' ''WHO HERE ATE A CHOCOLATE TODAY?!''
--> ''(every agent raises their hands while making odd noises)''
--> '''Olive:''' ''THAT MUST BE WHAT'S CAUSING IT! DOCTOR, YOU'RE A GENIUS!''
--> '''Dr. O:''' No, I'm a doctor!
* ImplausibleDeniability: The agent who's just come down the tubes asks O'Callaghan if he's wearing a wig. O'Callaghan is offended and quickly says "no"...just before adjusting his wig.
* InstantlyProvenWrong: Dr. O and Odell believe that the third tube is the cause of the outbreak, and when an agent comes down one and emerges saying "wheee", they are quick to rub it in O'Callaghan's face...until the agent reveals that he's not a victim of the outbreak at all, and was only saying "wheee" because he likes riding in the tubes.

Dr. O takes the lead on the case of a strange medical crisis that causes agents to make funny noises.

----
!!Tropes:

* ContinuityNod: The gadget Ms. O is returning is the [[Recap/OddSquadS1E13LifeOfOBrianWhateverHappenedToAgentOz Body-Put-Back-inator.]]
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: After taking in four patients affected by the outbreak, Dr. O and Odell are shown performing what appears to be surgery, using things such as a forcep, clamps, and scissors. [[RevealShot It's eventually revealed that all they were doing was putting duct tape over a victim's mouth,]] but the scene is treated like the two doctors were performing an actual surgical procedure. It's one of the more darker things the show has slipped past the radar.
* HomemadeInventions: Otto's "gadget" is comprised of a toothbrush, a spatula and a flashlight held together by duct tape. Both Olive and Oscar easily see through it.
--> '''Otto:''' If you can believe it, Oscar doesn't think this is a gadget!
--> '''Dr. O:''' It ''isn't!''
* {{Irony}}: Otto asks the ColdOpen client where the meteorologist came from, while looking behind the client. It's actually the same way agents are able to get gadgets: via the use of {{Hammerspace}}.
* LowerDeckEpisode: This episode primarily focuses on Dr. O and Odell, another Odd Squad Doctor.
* ObsessedWithFood: Otto returns to this in full form. The episode has him on a quest to get a chocolate from Oscar, but to do that, he needs to return a gadget -- since he doesn't have one on him, he is forced to make a fake gadget, and when that doesn't work out, he resorts to borrowing others' gadgets. Sure enough, he ends up becoming a victim of the outbreak. [[HereWeGoAgain Twice.]]
* SensoryAbuse: Hearing every agent afflicted with the outbreak, in a room where they're packed like sardines, is ''awful.'' It reaches the HellIsThatNoise point for Olive.
* WeatherDissonance: The meteorologist in the ColdOpen has a habit of failing to predict the weather correctly.
