* EnsembleDarkhorse: Captain Gene Mauch has a lot of fans thanks to his hilarious banter with the main characters, made all the better by Creator/MichaelKeaton's performance. Some will go so far as to say his pitch perfect comedic timing steals the show.

** Ershon says that he believes a story should start at the end, then move to the beginning and eventually move back to the end. This is the same narrative pattern of WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}.
** In an alternate scene, Michael Keaton says, "Please. [[Film/SpidermanHomecoming Stop talking about your near death experience on the Staten Island Ferry, okay?"]]

* StrawmanHasAPoint: Danson and Highsmith's EstablishingCharacterMoment is supposed to be a deconstruction of the CowboyCop because one of the reporters notes the drugs they had on possession was only a small amount of marijuana. However, the dealers were also carrying military grade weaponry, which is highly illegal in New York City. This makes their antics come across as a lot more justified.
* TheWoobie: Captain Gene by sheer virtue of putting up with our main heroes' bullshit. And unlike the usual [[DaChief angry police captain]], Gene's actually a pretty NiceGuy and Reasonable Authority Figure, which just makes [[OnlySaneMan him dealing with his insane coworkers]] even more sympathetic.

** A police officer advising kids to not be black or Hispanic to avoid prison? Terrible. A ''black'' police officer advising kids to not be black or Hispanic to avoid prison? Hilarious.
