* JokersLoveJunkFood:
** In "The Tap Out Job", Sophie, the Grifter of the Team, initially protests the rustic fare they're being offered at their hotel, like chicken-fried steak ("Meat should never be an adjective."), and balks at Parker's offer of a pork rind "How do you peel a pig?" But by the end of the episode, she finds she actually likes them.
** Hardison, the team's hacker, and frequent ButtMonkey, loves his orange soda and gummy frogs, which he's often seen consuming from his place hacking in his van to the point that when he buys a microbrewery, he tries to create a beer that mimics the flavor of the orange soda. He loves it. The others? Not so much. He also used a gummy frog once to trick a fingerprint pad and had to sacrifice some of his orange soda to provide a bottle for Nate to power a vintage car with cooking oil.
** "The Gold Job" has Parker, the chief of the team, introduced to Voodoo Donuts, and she takes a bite of every one to determine which one she likes most.
** Hurley, a recurring character, was somewhere between BigFun and FatBastard. He saw a charity doing good work and determined to help them...by stealing their money, investing it, growing it, and returning it to them tenfold. But his initial act, stealing it, got him targeted by the Leverage team. They learned that among his many, many addictions, he was obsessed with tacos, an addiction Nate literally feeds to get info out of the guy.

* MistakenForSanta: During "[[Recap/LeverageS01E04TheMiracleJob The Miracle Job]]," the team fake making a statue of Saint Nicholas, the man, cry in their effort to save a struggling church from a greedy developer. When Parker, who's remarkably childlike for a seasoned cat burglar, hears the name, she immediately assumes the statue is of Santa Claus and refuses to let go of the idea throughout the episode. The others keep repeating with more and more frustration, "It's NOT Santa!"

* MassiveMultiplayerScam: The series is entirely about the heroes doing this to untouchable businessmen who've victimized the client of the week. It's also pretty common for them to turn it around, setting things up so that the one person who the target assumes is scamming them is legit --and therefore pissed when the target tries to get them arrested. They don't charge their clients a dime since walking away with a good chunk of the target's money is how they get paid. In fact, their clients usually walk away with at least a few million in cash afterwards.

* MischiefFace: Parker is the world's greatest thief. She also has a bit of arrested development, and can be something of a WomanChild from time to time. This includes a mischievous grin whenever she gets a notion in her head. One of the earliest examples is in "The Bank Shot Job" when Nate asks her if she's ever robbed a bank ''while'' it was already being robbed. You can see the twinkle in her eye as she says, "First time for everything."

Renamed trope, but "Israeli Girl Of The Week" doesn't fit it


* MatzoFever: Eliot seems to get a mild case of it toward Mikel Dayan, his counterpart in the rival crew in "The Two Live Crew Job."
