* SneezeOfDoom: Mr. Socrates

* ShesGotLegs: Merilee, showcased by her miniskirt. Steffy too, to an extent.

* BluffTheImpostor: In "Double Trouble" the kids use rock trivia to find out which Prince Taki is the real one. Given the prince is a big rock fan and the imposter has no clue. For example Wally asks him who is ''Music/TheBeatles'' drummer and turns it into a trick multiple choice question. The imposter screws it up so badly, his answer is "George Harris' son."
* DeathGlare: Happens sometimes usually from Steffy to Wally after some bad joke.
* DependingOnTheWriter: In the manual Steffy and Wally are siblings, and in some episodes this is briefly mentioned such as Steffy calling him "brother mine". That being said in another episode she refers to Wally's mother as "his mother" and in "The Haunted Castle" this relation is not mentioned at all when Wally is the one to receive an inheritance. (Unless there's been some misreporting there and they are instead supposed to be step siblings.)

* FakeBand: It's their cover.

* ShesGotLegs: Merilee, showcased by her miniskirt. Steffy to an extent too.

* BandToon: They are a band, this is a cartoon.

The teen musical sleuths were advised by a supercomputer named Mr. Creator/{{Socrates}}, who, strangely enough, was highly allergic to fleabag Elvis. So when the group visited Mr. Socrates for their latest assignment, Elvis was always made to stay outside the lair. But in each episode, either Elvis would find his own way in, or Willy - forgetting Mr. Socrates' allergy - would for one reason or another bring Elvis into the lair. Either way, Elvis' presence would cause the supercomputer to violently sneeze, blowing the group out of the lair and off to their assignment (in one episode the mere mention of Elvis' name aggravated Mr. Socrates' allergy!).

-->''Come along with me, Butch Cassidy...!"''

* {{Fanservice}}: Butch, Merilee, Steffy and Wally all invoke this. All the characters appear in swimwear twice on the show during this show's one season within three different episodes. It is also notable as far as 70s Hanna Barbera teen characters go Steffy and Merilee's beachwear designs were among the least covering.

* MissionBriefing: It's why they go to Socartes.

* OnceAnEpisode: Somehow or another Mr. Socrates will start sneezing whenever Elvis sneaks into the mission room and sometimes even when Butch petted Elvis before accepting a call on his ring.

* PlotAllergy: Mr Socrates allergy to dogs.

* LaughTrack: As usual with [[TheSeventies early 70s]] Hanna-Barbera standard.

* LaughTrack

* TheSpymaster: Mr. Socrates

''Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids'' was a Saturday morning cartoon produced by Creator/HannaBarbera Productions in 1973 for Creator/{{NBC}}. The show features several FollowTheLeader elements [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer that are often bungled online.]] The FiveManBand is designed to fit similar roles to ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou''. However, the way band travels around the world foiling schemes and the nature of the people they apprehend makes the actual show more like a cross between ''WesternAnimation/JosieAndThePussycats'' and ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest''. The show itself depicted the adventures of a teenybopper rock group, led by heartthrob Cassidy, who, while eluding fans, worked undercover with his bandmates as a team of teenage secret agents (Butch, Merilee, Steffy, Wally, and Wally's dog [[Music/ElvisPresley Elvis]]), solving mysteries and apprehending criminals.

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Elvis and Mr. Socrates.

* GreenAroundTheGillS: Wally turns thoroughly green on a roller coaster in "The Gold Caper." It's established in an earlier episode that he also gets seasick and airsick.

* BeepingComputers: Mr Socrates is an excellent example.

* DependingOnTheWriter: In the manual Steffy and Wally are siblings, and in some episodes this is briefly mentioned such as Steffy calling him "brother mine". That being said in another episode she refers to Wally's mother as "his mother" and in "The Haunted Castle" this relation is not mentioned at all when Wally is the one to receive an inheritance.
** Unless there's been some misreporting there and they are instead supposed to be step siblings.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Given the spy nature of the show most of the other agents we meet are only known by some kind of spy lingo nickname.

* {{Fanservice}}: Butch, Merilee, Steffy and Wally all invoke this. All the characters appear in swimwear twice on the show during this show's one season within three different episodes.

** Butch himself is an odd example sharing the name with a real life outlaw. While never expressed in the show the band name may in fact be a in-universe pun based on this trope.

* GenreSavvy: In "The Pearl Caper" the criminal leader actually calls out all the coincidences that wherever the Sundance Kids go there seem to be crime busts. Including some of the earlier episodes.
** The kids themselves are a bit suspicious of Mr. Socrates in "The Haunted Castle" with his insistence sending them to get Wally's UnexpectedInheritance has nothing to do with a case at all. Naturally they run into a crime to bust anyway.

* TheyCallHimBarkeep: Given the spy nature of the show most of the other agents we meet are only known by some kind of spy lingo nickname.

* {{Fanservice}}: Butch, Merilee and Steffy all invoke this. All the characters appear in swimwear twice on the show. Wally is providing this to a lesser extent, unless you dig the Shaggy type.
