* [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: Subverted in Season 3 Episode 14 "Light Sleeper". The initial suspect in the murder of a Korean woman is her Marine husband. Their neighbor claimed she frequently heard them screaming at each other, leading her to believe that husband was abusive. However, the husband reveals to Gibbs that she was the abusive one and proves by lifting up his shirt to reveal a large burn mark where she hit him with an iron. He's actually taken seriously and released.
* [[Action Girl]]: First Kate, a former Secret Service agent in the presidential protection detail, then Ziva, whose background with the Mossad was as a spy and an assassin rather than as an investigator.
* [[Adorkable]]: In "Jurisdiction", the CGIS expy of Abby is a cute Asian [[Meganekko]] wearing [[Nerd Glasses]].
Line 236 ⟶ 235:
** A conversation between Gibbs and Vance implies that {{spoiler|Ziva was this as well}}, something that was treated as pretty much a given by everyone in her first season.
** {{spoiler|NCIS attempts to have Jonathan Cole act as this to them regarding Harper Dearing in the Season 9 finale, which Cole agrees to in exchange for a lighter sentence when he gets back to prison. Unfortunately, Dearing was [[Genre Savvy]] enough to realize what the NCIS was planning to do, so he instead has a waitress deliver the cellphone to Cole for him and then communicate with him via phone and relay a message to Gibbs}}.

He's actually taken seriously and released.
* [[Double Tap]]: The show has almost without exception invoked this; both here and in real life, Federal agents ''never'' fire only once or twice. They will keep shooting you until either you fall down or they run out of bullets, whichever comes first.
* [[Dress Code]]: Forcing Abby to follow one makes her so uncomfortable that it actually hurts her analytical skills.
