* INeverSaidItWasPoison: In "The Party", Sally and Doowee are investgating who gatecrashed a party. Whilst interrogating a known-gatecrasher, the gatecrasher points that it ''couldn't'' have been him and his buddies, since they don't wear masks when they gatecrash. It's then pointed out that no-one had mentioned that the gatecrashers were wearing masks, and a ChaseScene ensues.

A French-Australian animated series following the adventures of {{Kid Detective}}s Sally Bollywood and Doowee [=McAdam=], who together form the private detective agency SBI (Sally Bollywood Investigations). ---- !!''Sally Bollywood'' provides examples of the following tropes: * AcquiredPoisonImmunity: In "The Delayed Action Chilli Pepper", everyone except Sally comes down with a stomach illness. It turns out the school lunch contained an extra strong pepper, and Mrs. Apu explains that Sally is immune due to being raised on it her whole life. * {{Adorkable}}: Doowee. Sally can also fall under this sometimes. * AdultsAreUseless: Usually played straight. Averted with Harry Bollywood; his daughter has to get her talent from ''some''where, after all. * AerithAndBob: Sally and... ''Doowee''? What? * AesopAmnesia: No matter how many times the "never jump to conclusions" rule is brought up it never sinks in with Sally. * AffectionateNickname: Mrs. Apu often addresses Sally with things like "my little mongoose" or "my little poppadom". * AmbidextrousSprite: The elephant on Sally's top keeps changing direction. * AnAesop * BareYourMidriff: Sally * BetterManhandleTheMurderWeapon: In "Caught Red Handed", Sally finds a can of spray paint on the ground and picks it up, not knowing it was used to vandalise a bench. * TheBGrade: In "Cockcroach Capers" Harry bans Sally from doing more detective work just because she got a C+ in a test. * BornDetective: Sally * CharacterizationMarchesOn: The janitor was a bad guy in the pilot. * ChaseScene: OncePerEpisode. * CoolOldLady: Mrs. Apu * CostumeCopycat: In "Halloween Heist" one of the culprits stole Sally's costume and sari while she was changing in the girls' room to impersonate her and left her own costume so Sally would have no choice but to wear it. * CultureEqualsCostume: Her name is "{{Bollywood}}", and she looks the part. * DaChief: Sally, Harry and the Principal kind of take turns at his role. * DisguisedInDrag: Doowee at one point in "The Egg War". He isn't pleased about it. * ElaborateUniversityHigh * EverybodyDoTheEndlessLoop * FairPlayWhodunnit: It's usually pretty easy to figure out who the culprit is before the unmasking. * GadgeteerGenius: Doowee * HollywoodHacking: Doowee can hack into anything within seconds by tapping random keys. * IdiosyncraticWipes * ItsPersonal: Sally is particularly aggressive on cases that personally affect her or Doowee. * JustAStupidAccent: In the English dub, characters are given random accents. This is most jarring in the case of the janitor, who was given an Australian accent, but one episode revealed he's from Canada. His son has an appropriate Canadian accent. * LethalChef: Harry * LikeBrotherAndSister: There are no hints that Sally and Doowee might become more than friends. Except perhaps for a possible ShipTease with the LostLoveMontage in "SOS Saris". * LotusPosition: Sally sometimes does this when she needs to meditate and think. * MissingMom: What happened to Sally's mother is never explained. All we learn about her mother is she was an Indian dancer. * OhMyGods: In the pilot Sally used stereotypical Indian expressions like "By the many arms of Vishnu!" For the main series this trait was given to Mrs. Apu. * PapaWolf: Harry Bollywood * PrimAndProperBun: Sally has one in "Operation Nerd" when going undercover as a nerd. * ProBonoBarter: Sally and Dowee are still on the level where they're accepting payment in candy (or in one case, in math lessons). All their clients are, after all, kids of their own age or younger. * RaceAgainstTheClock: A self-imposed example. The SBI guarantees all cases will be solved within 24 hours. * SnoopingLittleKid * SpannerInTheWorks: Sally's cousin Bouleh in "Cousin Bouleh" messes up the SBI's plans several times. It gets to the point where they wonder if he's intentionally sabotaging the investigation. * SupremeChef: Mrs. Apu, but only when it comes to Indian food. In "Bling Bling" she tries her hand at French cuisine and keeps making mistakes. * SympatheticCriminal: Some of the culprits turn out to have a sympathetic motive. * TooCleverByHalf: Sally has a big ego and often puts her foot in her mouth by falsely accusing a suspect only to be proven wrong. * TurnInYourBadge: In "Cockroach Capers" Sally's father bans her from detective work, but she disobeys him to work on a case. * [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield Where the Hell is Cosmopolis?]] * YouGottaHaveBlueHair ----
