* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: In "Big Nate: In the Zone", Ultra-Nate fights a "saber-toothed swamp cat" around 1800 BC. It's what clues him in that they traveled back much further in time than intended, as the big cats had apparently been extinct for "over 3,000 years". In actuality, the last saber-toothed cats in North America died out around 10,000 years ago and would've been long gone by 1800 BC; however, said anachronism is justified as it's in a comic that Nate, who is most certainly NOT a paleontologist, drew.

* AnnoyinglyRepetitiveChild: In "Big Nate On a Roll", Nate talks about the time he went to a ''Franchise/PeterPan'' play when he and Ellen were kids. He says it wasn't that great of an experience for him, especially since Ellen sang songs from the play every day for two years.

* IronicEcho: In "Strikes Again", because of Nate's comics saving the project that he and Gina were working on, he decides to smugly say "You're welcome" to her right afterwards, which makes her go ''ballistic''. And later that day, when Nate's failing fleeceball team is saved by Gina making a touchdown, the arrogant girl gets the trophy and walks right up to Nate to throw his words back in his face. Nate is ''not'' amused by this.

* NeverTrustATrailer: Or rather, never trust a preview. The sneak peeks at the end of each book are sometimes misleading as to what is going to happen in the next book. For example, the preview to ''Big Nate: Lives it Up'' made it look as if Nate would be sticking up for Breckenridge all the time, whereas in the book Breckenridge is an annoying TagalongKid whom Nate dislikes. The preview of ''Big Nate: In the Zone'' is probably the worst, as it shows Nate making the school honor roll and the all-star sports team, as well as ''Jenny falling in love with him'' when he gets lucky. None of those things happen in the book. ,[[JustifiedTrope Justified]], since most of the time it's a tactic to hype next book in rather comedic effect.
