* FairCop: Jessica [=McNamee=] as Officer Taylor and Rosa Salazar as Officer Perez. Ponch also describes Captain Lindel as having a "tight" body.

* ADateWithRosyPalms: Castillo/Ponch can’t go an hour without finding a public restroom in which to jerk off, due to his sex addiction.

* BrickJoke: Castillo shooting his partner. More than once.

* CowboyCop: Ponch gets the job done but he also annoys the ''shit'' out of [[DaChief his FBI boss]], played by [[Series/TheWire Isiah Whitlock, Jr.]] (he even [[TrialByFriendlyFire shoots his partner]] when he's taken hostage in the opening sequence after the criminal overpowers him while being arrested).

There he partners with Jon Baker (Shepard), a former motocross star and probationary CHP officer, and together they investigate the case while Baker remains unaware of Ponch's true identity.

* AnythingThatMoves: Castillo is shown to sleep with just about any woman with a pulse, which only further fuels Baker's speculation that "Ponch" has a sex addiction.

* BilingualBackfire: While riding in the ambulance at the end, Baker asks "Ponch" and the paramedic to speak in Spanish so he doesn't understand what they're saying about him while he's kissing Officer Perez. It backfires hilariously when they start talking about how hot Perez is and whether Baker "eats ass" and Perez scolds them because ''she speaks Spanish, too''.
* ComedyOfRemarriage: Subverted. Karen looks like she wants to rekindle the relationship at the end and asks to ride in the ambulance with him, but Jon turns her down, stating that she's "kind of a dick".
* CoverIdentityAnomaly: After Ponch introduces himself to Kurtz, Kurtz asks him if he knows a particular officer from his "old" unit, Bob Lynn, who Ponch pretends to know, calling him "Asian Bob". When Kurtz suggests that Bob is actually ''white'', Ponch recovers by saying he actually meant a ''different'' officer named Bob ''Lin''. This becomes a ChekhovsGag when Kurtz and another officer are looking into Ponch's cover identity later on and actually ''find'' an Asian officer named Bob Lin (that Ponch had his FBI colleagues insert into the database to back up his cover story).
* CowboyCop: Castillo gets the job done but also annoys the ''shit'' out of his FBI boss (he even [[TrialByFriendlyFire shoots his partner]] when he's taken hostage in the opening sequence after the criminal overpowers him while being arrested). Later, his recklessness costs him his FBI job

* FairCop: Jessica [=McNamee=] as Officer Taylor and Rosa Salazar as Officer Perez.

* RichesToRags: Baker is a former freestyle motocross star whose wife (Bell) left him after he lost all his sponsors. He still lives at his home, but his wife's exiled him to the guest house.
