** In "Goldflipper," Secret Squirrel and Morocco Mole dress up as "[[ScoutOut Squirrel Scouts]]" to infiltrate the titular bad guy's hideout by selling him cookies. Amazingly, Goldflipper falls for it, probably because the rodent is rather disturbingly convincing as a girl squirrel.

* TooDumbToLive: Morocco can be seen as this at times, most notably in "Scirocco Mole" when he lit a whole box of bombs to be ready for Scirocco without realizing that having all of the bombs lit at once would leave little time for him and Secret to avoid the resulting explosions.

''Secret Squirrel'' is a series of SpyFiction parody cartoon shorts made by Creator/HannaBarbera in 1965 as the lead segment of a ThreeShorts series that also featured ''WesternAnimation/SquiddlyDiddly'' and ''WesternAnimation/WinsomeWitch''. It was later revived in 1993 as ''Super Secret Secret Squirrel'', in another ThreeShorts format headlined by ''WesternAnimation/TwoStupidDogs''. Secret Squirrel was voiced by Creator/MelBlanc in the original version and Creator/JessHarnell in the reboot. Creator/PaulFrees voiced Morocco Mole initially, while Creator/JimCummings handled the character's vocal duties in the 1990s remake, in both cases strongly reminiscent of Creator/PeterLorre.

* LastOnesPloy: The panda criminal One Ton from the titular episode rampaged pretty much at his heart's content because he ''knew'' no law enforcement could touch him, with his Endangered status. Secret is tasked with getting him back to jail without harming even one hair on his body, and after a number of unsuccessful strategies manages to turn this status against him: He starts acting like an unhelpful bodyguard and using DeadlyDodging when One Ton inevitably retaliates until the panda knocks ''himself'' out... and then he arrests him for endangering ''himself''.
