- The first one might just be Department of Redundancy Department
- The second could be Even Evil Has Standards or Just Like Robin Hood (can't find anything better)
- Unsure about the third one, but it could fall under Everyone Has Standards, or just Dirty Cop
- The fourth is Recursive Reality
Not radio, wrong tag.
Are there tropes for where a situation gets recursive, e.g.
- Limitless had the episode title "When Pirates Pirate Pirates!"
- In Hustle, the team generally con con-men, not the general public. Although that's possibly Even Evil Has Standards is it another trope as well?
- An old episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit or a similar show had a Something Completely Different episode where the Police Procedural was investigating a Corrupt Cop.
- At the end of Dexter's Laboratory episode "Monstory" was a Gainax Ending with Dexter and Dee Dee in monster form being watched, much like Dexter did at the beginning, possibly suggesting The Multiverse (?)
