* BeleagueredAssistant: Poor Face. During Hannibal's stint as Clarence Wickersham III, he introduces Face as his nephew "Harold", who is a bit retarded and won't eat his dinner unless he wears his football helmet. With each new indignity, Face protests, but Hannibal never seems to hear.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Face expresses concern that Murdock is going to get distracted with his new superheroic identity and not do his part of the job. Hannibal expresses complete faith that Murdock will do it and says that he's good; he's just a little different. Murdock proves him right on both counts.

* ClarkKenting: The only difference between Dr. Vern and Captain Cab is a different accent and a cape and domino mask. Murdock (as Dr. Vern) says he understands that people say they look alike, but he doesn't see the resemblance.

* FriendOfMaskedSelf: Socki refers to Captain Cab as Dr. Vern's "friend."

* OutOfTheFryingPan: From the perspective of the British passengers in B.A.'s cab. Terrified of the ScaryBlackMan, they change to a different cab, saying "that man is quite mad!" The cab they get into happens to belong to Murdock, who immediately starts talking to his HandPuppet Socky. They immediately get out of that cab too, and remark that next time they're just going to stay in London.

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Face's reaction when Murdock starts babbling about "Captain Cab." He first wishes aloud that B.A. was here to make him stop talking. As Murdock continues, Face adds resignedly:
-->'''Face''': I have a feeling I'm really gonna hate this one, Murdock...

-->'''Face''': Yeah, you're going to hate this one, B.A. I think he's building up to a cape and mask.

* ShoutOut: After refusing Hannibal's offer to make restitution, the villain calls him "the Kentucky Colonel", presumably because his disguise of the week looks like Colonel Sanders, the mascot of KFC.

The Lone Star taxicab company hires the A-Team when their rival, Love cabs, keeps beating up their drivers and destroying their taxis. Hannibal initially gives the head of the rival company a chance to pay up damages to the "new owner", Clarence Wickingsham III, but when the man refuses, the A-Team declares war on the Love cab company.

* MeetMyGoodFriendsLeftyAndRighty: Murdock annoys B.A. by introducing himself as Dr. Vern, and his assistant Socky. B.A. grabs him and says "This is my talking fist. His name is Knock-Out. Would you like to hear Knock-Out speak?"

* {{Adorkable}}: Murdock becomes a superhero called Captain Cab and even makes a cloth mask and cape for himself, all while talking to his sock puppet, Socky. Face is terribly embarrassed by his antics and B. A. wants to murder him (more so than usual), but the way Murdock goes about it is just so ''cute''!

* IAlwaysWantedToSayThat: On a mission, Face radios in to inform the rest of the team that "ItsQuietTooQuiet", then notes he always wanted to say that.

* MeetMyFriendsLeftyAndRighty: Murdock annoys B.A. by introducing himself as Dr. Vern, and his assistant Socky. B.A. says "This is my talking fist. His name is Knock-Out. Would you like to hear Knock-Out speak?"

* ConsultingMrPuppet: Murdock's quirk-of-the-week includes him having a talking dog, Socki...who happens to be a sock puppet. This annoys B.A., who grabs the sock off his hand at least twice.
