History Series / WalkerTexasRanger

* KickTheSonOfABitch: And Walker does this to said villains for the above trope, both figuratively and literally.

* IdiotBall: To go along with their over-the-top capital-E Evil, most of the criminals in the series seem to lack common sense to a ridiculous degree. It gets to the point where it becomes hard to believe that these so-called evil masterminds were ever capable of accomplishing anything.
** Walker gets one in Episode 7x14 when walking up to a man when he knows it's very likely they'll get into a fistfight. Instead of taking off his tie, he just shrugs his coat off and walks forward. He's ''very'' lucky that guy didn't garrotte him with the handy chokehold hanging right around his neck.

** In "The Day of Cleansing", also in Season 8, which serves as a crossover with ''Series/MartialLaw'' (serving as Part 2 of "[[Recap/MartialLawS2E16HonorAmongStrangers Honor Among Strangers]]") and rips the UsefulNotes/OklahomaCityBombing from the headlines, Cliff Eagleton and his militia group rig up semi trucks with explosive chemicals to go off within four minutes after the driver pulls the loop, with their intended targets being police stations, banks, churches, courthouses and other government and diverse locations at exactly 9:00 AM. After Eagleton's men are captured, the semi operated by Eagleton had Sydney, whose cover was blown while she and Gage were undercover, tied up, but Walker and Sammo free her and manage to drive the truck as far away from Dallas as possible before it exploded.

** "Full Recovery" in Season 8 had the CEO of a genetics lab plotting to blow up a military base with sarin, a deadly nerve gas, which one of his employees (played by Creator/ScottWeinger, whom he eventually murders) and his younger brother stole so they can show it to the Rangers. After the genetics lab employee is killed, his brother develops amnesia while the company's mercenaries pursue him and try to assassinate him before he could tell any authorities of their plans. Walker, Gage and Sydney are able to jog his memory and then stop the scheme in time by removing the sarin from the rig before it blew.

** Season 7's "livegirls.now" had one of Trivette's girlfriends and several other budding models being kidnapped by Sex Slave traders, and when Trivette posed as a bidder to trace their location, the kidnappers catch on to the ruse and have a bomb waiting for him and Walker when they raid their warehouse. Walker quickly discovers the bomb and the two Rangers flee the building before they are caught in the explosion.

'''Trivette:''' Hurts a lot more without one.\\

** This occurs again in "Unsafe Speed" when a Texas DPS Trooper agrees to assist the Rangers in their covert operation against [[AllBikersAreHellsAngels an outlaw biker gang known as the Raptors]], whereupon Gage and Sydney supposedly kill him in order to pass their initiation and gain access to their meth lab in order to bust it up. [[spoiler:The plan works, and when he gets back up, this is {{lampshaded|hanging}}d by him and Trivette:]]
