!!''Dekh Bhai Dekh'' contains the following tropes:
* AffectionateNickname: In episode 4, Balraj refers to Suhasini as "Suzie" in his sleep. Suhasini does not hear him when he mentions this is just a nickname, thus getting her worried that he's having an extramarital affair with "Suzie".
* AlliterativeName: One character is named '''D'''urgadas '''D'''iwan.
* ComedicUnderwearExposure: In the first episode, as Sanju is on the phone, he has his ModestyTowel taken off, leaving only his underwear intact. He's asked if he has any shame in it, only to reply that the person he's calling can't see him.

* LaughTrack: A laugh track is often used in this show after a joke is made.
