* AndImTheQueenOfSheba: In the first episode, the black [[CallingTheCopsOnTheFBI traffic cop who arrests Caïn]] responds "And I am Omar Bongo" (a former president of UsefulNotes/{{Gabon}}) to Caïn's claim that he's also a cop. Caïn then digs on the joke, calling him Omar and saying he's a fan.

* CallingTheCopsOnTheFBI: In the first episode, Caïn (in his car, with no police armband or siren) follows a car with blood dripping from the trunk and calls Delambre on his cellphone. Using cellphones at the wheel is a major Road Code offense in France, and sure enough, a traffic cop spots him and makes him stop, and he loses trail of the car as a result. At least he had enough time to remember the registration plate.

* DisabledSnarker: Caïn is this at best when it doesn't qualify as DisabilityAsAnExcuseForJerkassery.

* TheSnarkKnight: Save for [[GoodParents his son]], ''no-one'' can escape Caïn's constant snark, not even himself. Though when he finds [[SnarkToSnarkCombat someone who can snark as much as himself]] he actually behaves as if he found a WorthyOpponent and exhibits some respect.

* FanHater: Caïn ''hates'' {{stereotypical nerd}}s with [[NerdHoard hoards]]. To the point he assumes computer scientists and [[TheCoroner coroners]] alike are this and treats them with contempt as a result.
