Odd Squad has quite a lot of
Oh, Crap! moments that come about when agents realize they're about to be in for a world of hurt or have inadvertently caused a problem.
Season 1
- In "Picture Day", Olive has a moment when she finds out that the Glenn Gushers both clients drank are the source of them turning patterned, realizing that she sent Otto away to get a Glenn Gusher himself as a result of him being too focused on getting his ID photo taken.
- The conflict of "Ms. O Uh-Oh" surrounds Oscar accidentally knocking his Day-inator gadget onto the floor and summoning a version of Oprah from a past date. His reaction as she angrily asks him what he's staring at before walking away is nothing short of this trope.
- In "How to Interrogate a Unicorn", Otto ends up accidentally decapitating the mummy character he's interrogating by lightly tugging on a bandage that's stuck in its mouth in order to better understand what it's saying. His response is one of shock as he lets out a string of "oh no's" before he sits down in his chair.
- As seen in episodes like "Agent Obfusco" and "The Perfect Lunch", this is pretty much going through Olive and Otto's heads whenever they have to interact with Obfusco — or his sister Obfuscolina.
- In "Trading Places", Odd Todd gets a moment of this when Oscar begins gaining the upper hand in the battle and reveals his vest that's covered in a ton of magnets. All he has to do is flip a switch and let the stolen Flip-Flop-inator come to him as Odd Todd loses his grip on it and falls to the ground.
Odd Todd: Oh no.
Oscar: Oh yes.
- The entirety of "Trials and Tubulations" is full of these moments. Particularly whenever the tube operators and Oprah freak out about Olive and Otto being stuck in Sector 21.
- During the climax of "No Ifs, Ands or Robots", Otto sees whom he believes to be Oscar entering the warehouse where he and Odenbacker are. He changes his mind right quick upon seeing "Oscar" going haywire and blasting a cardboard box, with Odenbacker quickly retreating to the safety of his workshop while Otto takes shelter behind a desk.
- "Undercover Olive":
- When Oprah tells Olive that she's going undercover as the sick villain who was supposed to play in a Rock–Paper–Scissors tournament for villains, she hands her a piece of paper with the villain's name on it. Olive's face immediately turns to horror as she adamantly refuses to go on the mission before there's a transition to her dressed up as the villain in question.
- Olive later gets another moment when she is exposed as an Odd Squad agent and all of the villains taking part in the competition begin advancing on her, having a one-up to her original Catchphrase: "Double crumpets."
- At the beginning of "Not So Splash", Oprah explains the mystery of her friend's pool being unusable to Olive and Otto, and tells them that if she can't swim, she'll get "very grumpy". Otto asks the innocuous question of if her behavior just then was of her not being grumpy, and Oprah responds by slowly taking out a pool noodle from her Hammerspace spine and ripping it in half. Olive and Otto get the message and immediately begin booking it down the stairs.
- In "Assistant's Creed", Olympia (no, not that Olympia) and Ozric have this reaction to Oprah finding them after she (quite literally) tore up Headquarters to find them. Luckily, her scolding ends up being a Chew-Out Fake-Out, and she promotes them to the Investigation department, much to their delight.
- In "Now You Don't See Me", after Odd Todd throws the Re-Visible-inator, Olive believes that one of the invisible agents is close enough to the gadget to catch it. When she finds out no one is even remotely close, she has this reaction and attempts to catch it in a Diving Save. She ends up doing so successfully.
Season 2
- In "Flawed Squad", the villains have this reaction when Precinct 13579's agents begin to unfreeze from the effects of Father Time's attack, and begin to scramble in order to find a place to hide.
- The picture above is from "Oscar Strikes Back", when Oscar and Oprah flee from a horde of Brainwashed Scientists and head inside an office that they believe is safe...only to find out that it's the office of one President Obbs, who immediately has the rest of his mind-controlled Scientists apprehend them and place them under mind control.
- Otis in "A Job Well Undone", after Olympia delivers her Wham Line.
Olympia: Who is Opa?
Otis: Ohh no.
- Olympia and Otis both get a moment in "High Maintenance" when Owen rushes up to them in O'Mary's office and asks them why they aren't picking up the phone, only for them to tell him that the phone isn't ringing. Owen then tells them that he's talking about Obby's office, where there's a mass amount of phones ringing off the hook. The ex-Investigation agents' expressions turn into ones of horror before they immediately get to work answering all of the calls.
- A three-way between Otis, Olympia and Oona happens in "The Ninja Situation" as Otis tells the two girls about the Yum-Yum Twins talking to the actual Evil Ninja on the phone. It only gets worse when Oona spots said ninja villain walking towards the restaurant with a pizza in his hands.
- In "License to Science", Oro gives Olympia a cube to place her head inside in order to treat her supposed car-itis. When Olympia asks what this treatment does to people who don't have the odd illness, Oro tells her that "you definitely don't want to put your head in that thing." Cue a despaired, but sullen, "uh-oh" from Olympia.
- In "New Jacket Required", Olympia taunts Mr. Lightning by informing him that Otis has a new jacket and that her role in the battle will be assisting him with the jacket's manual...that she holds up in plain view of the villain, which allows him to zap it and destroy it. Any semblance of smugness she has goes clear out the window, and what settles on her face is an expression of fright.
- In the Cold Open of "Who is Agent Otis?", the Noisemaker develops an Oh, Crap! reaction when he sees Orchid. However, his expression only becomes more terrified when he hears the sound of a helicopter behind him, turns around, and finds it to be Oprah's personal helicopter, piloted by the Director herself.
Season 3
- "Odd Beginnings: Part 1":
- Opal and Omar have this reaction when the cave they're in begins to collapse — something that they caused by celebrating too loudly. It gets even worse when the cave-in causes an avalanche to come barrelling towards them, but while Omar has a brief moment of panic, their reactions quickly turn into ones of Oh, No... Not Again! before they make their escape.
- A more hilarious example comes when the avalanche approaches a snowman, whose coal mouth comes apart so he's left with a single piece making an "O" in an expression of shock.
- "Running on Empty":
- Omar has this reaction in "Running on Empty" upon finding out that he and his teammates are stranded in the Sahara Desert with their van out of fuel.
- Later on, both Oswald and Omar grow panicked when the Van Computer tells them that it's powered down the lights to conserve energy...which includes the laser containment unit holding the blob that they just captured. Of course, the blob escapes, leading the two agents to try and find it.
- Tons of these moments in "Slow Your Roll", most notably when The Shadow taunts OSMU by telling them that it's "game over" as she rigs their van to drive into the Lake of Goo with them still inside, causing all of them, bar Orla, to get looks of pure horror on their faces.
- In "Down the Tubes", Tennifer goes from Evil Laugh to Oh, Crap! to Big "NO!" within seconds when Orla shows up and promptly destroys her Scrambler machine.
- In "Oswald in the Machine", Oswald has this reaction when he ends up being caught by the other robots after the front end of his robot disguise falls down, revealing his jacket and his Odd Squad badge.
- Opal and Oswald in "16-and-a-Half Blocks" when they steer the van down an alleyway as a detour for a road under construction and find a group of villains cornering them.
Opal: [referring to Omar, Orla and Evil Sculptor] Guys, we need you in the cockpit!
- "End of the Road" is full of these moments, particularly when the Mobile Unit, The Shadow, and Brutus see a purple beam comprised of all the villains' powers shoot up into the sky and through the roof of Tube Central Station.
Odd Squad: The Movie
- When Oprah explains how she, Olympia, Otis and Oona have to get in front of a large crowd and attract everyone's attention, they find out that Weird Tom has already beaten them to it, slandering them in public view of everyone in the vicinity.
- This is the collective reaction of Oprah, Otis, Olympia, Olive and Otto when, after battling a swarm of Daves and remarking how it was easier than they thought, Olive points out another swarm of Daves that are rapidly multiplying and heading their way.
- When Olive, Otto, Olympia and Otis are flying up into space, a lone Dave ends up crashing into the windshield. Everyone gives cries of fright before Otto assures them that there's only one. Sure enough, the Dave begins doubling rapidly until there's a mass swarm of Daves obstructing their view and weighing down the ice cream truck spaceship. And it only goes downhill from there when a Dave ends up knocking an engine off, causing everyone to panic further.
Odd Squad: World Turned Odd
- Oona when she meets Odena for the first time and asks about her lab, only for Odena to not know what a "lab" is or who "Ms. O" is.
- Directly after that, Olympia and Otis have a moment when they find Todd sitting in Oprah's chair and address him as such, only for him to correct them by telling them "it's Odd Todd!" Which is then directly followed by his trademark Evil Laugh. Cue both agents getting terrified looks on their faces.
