2	* '''Straight''': Edgar uses a ramp to jump his car over a stream.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Edgar uses a ramp to jump his rocket-propelled eighteen-wheeler onto the roof of an apartment building on the far side of the Mississippi River.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Edgar uses a ramp to jump his motocross bike over some oil barrels.
5	* '''Justified''': Edgar has practiced this sort of thing, and knows when it will work and when it won't.
6	** During a ChaseScene, Edgar is forced to jump an open drawbridge to lose the bad guys.
7	* '''Inverted''': A motorcyclist ramps off Edgar's car.
8	* '''Subverted''': Edgar drives up the ramp as though he's going to try a jump, but screeches to a halt at the top of it.
9	* '''Double Subverted''': ...then drives back down the ramp to hit it again with more speed.
10	* '''Parodied''':
11	** Every time Edgar gets into a car chase, he insists he can do this, but [[RunningGag every time]], he and his irate passengers end up soaking wet.

13	* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
14	* '''Averted''': Edgar decides to look for a bridge instead.
15	* '''Enforced''': The writers believe that it just isn't a proper car chase unless there's one of these in it somewhere.
16	* '''Lampshaded''': "I'd hate to see the bill for fixing the suspension on Edgar's car each month."

22	* '''Deconstructed''': Edgar makes the jump, but the landing completely wrecks his car and he winds up in the hospital.
