History Fridge / Nichijou

** The Professor's only eight, though...

** Also, the name of the book is ''The Colour of Autumn'': [[color:red: red]].

* In episode two, Mai cheats at the stairs-climbing game by recalling a "spell of resurrection". It's later revealed this is a password for DragonQuest, and that what she enters is incorrect. She was making an obscure video game reference that very few people would get (never mind her friends), and she's been getting it wrong all this time. Good thing she wasn't with another hardcore fan.
** Obscure in the West. In Japan, ''DragonQuest'' is more popular than most ''religions.''
* "First comes rock, then comes paper / ''You can't throw all of them...''" Mai tries to in episode five and scores a CriticalHit. Then again, it might be because most people don't have a solid wooden statue handy.

* In episode six, it is revealed that Nano is deathly afraid of cockroaches. It kinda makes sense that a robot wouldn't like [[{{Incredibly Lame Pun}} bugs]].
** Nano is shown to be afraid of thunder in episode 13. She's a robot. What normally comes along with thunder?
** In addition, Cockroaches have a tendency to hide in dark places. Like the insides of a robot.
* In episode 12, a coffee shop employee told Sakurai that she'd have to tell her which sweets she wished to buy, despite the fact that she was very clearly pointing at them. Why? She's blind.
** Jossed. It turns she's not good explaining things to people. See episode 16 where she didn't help Yuko explain what were those weird coffee size names.

* The toast Helvetica Standard in Ep.5, when the toast hits the ceiling the lamp shook, and this lamp looks exactly the same as the one that [[spoiler: fell on Mio and Yuuko's card tower much, much later.]]

* The Helvitica Standard in Ep.18 stands out in all of them for being ''very'' different. Not only is there a beautiful ArtShift, but the tone is also quite sentimental and nostalgic. When the book the girl was looking for turned out to be emptied out and was hiding a gun, this initially seems like a CrowningMomentOfFunny. However, this scene can easily be interpreted differently that turns it into a massive FunnyAneurysmMoment. The girl did not seem surprised when she found the book, and in fact, she stated that she wanted this specific book, ''not'' any other copy. [[DarkAndTroubledPast If she did indeed know there was a gun in this book]], what do you think she meant by "it brought ''colour'' into my grey childhood"?

* An interesting detail when you pay attention is that, while segments featuring the trio of Mio, Yukko, and Mai are frequently sprinkled with WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome, the segments with the mad scientist, wind-up robot girl, and talking cat are far more mundane.

* If you look at the book Nano is reading in episode 11, the title is "Dostoyevsky". While it's certainly unclear ''which'' work would that be, does this add anything to her [[WiseBeyondTheirYears smarts]]?

** As of episode 24 we finally see the answer, there are buttons along the back of her shirt underneath the key. This info brought to you courtesy of the [[ThePeepingTom Science Teacher]] spying on her changing for gym.

** This is half-FridgeBrilliance half-WildMassGuess: The Professor is afraid of dogs because she's scared they may bite her. Yet, her favorite animal is the shark, which is known for biting. This seems contradictory, but consider that the Professor is a scientist. A dog ''might'' bite her, a shark ''will'' bite her. It's not the dogs themselves she fears, it's uncertainty, the unknown variable.

** Nano desperately wants the Professor to remove the key from her back. However, the Professor always refuses to do so--not because she wants Nano to suffer for the sake of cuteness, but because she wants Nano to be accepted by others for who she really is.
** Considering how much landmass Japan actually has, it's not surprising for landowners to get a somewhat inflated attitude over their own place in society, which pretty much explains Sasahara.

* FridgeLogic:
** If Mio immediately regretted drawing Sasahara in front of Sakurai and Yuuko, how did it end up on the quiz? It would have to have ended up in Sakurai's possession in the end, and obviously Mio wouldn't let that happen.
** ''How do you get hair through wooden cubes...?''
*** There's holes in them?
**** ''But there aren't'', at least drawn. And in Yukko's dream sequence they're able to be put on via vertical insertion.
***** Two halves, hinged, with a clasp or magnet on the other side.
** I know it's a comedy cartoon and logic means nothing, but I can't help but wonder how Nano gets her shirts on through that big wind-up key. There's no visible seam or buttons in the backs and we never see her in the action of putting anything on over the key. Then again, we are talking about the creation of someone who could make a cat talk with only a scarf. Said eight year old was actually the one who presented Nano with her school uniform, so maybe she had to modify it first?
