** ''High School Boy and the Train to School'': Hidenori spent the whole skit of InternalMonologue about whether he should tell that school girl he sees on the train every day that she has a hair on the mole on her neck, trying to figure out possible consequences, and, eventually, why that was never noticed. After he decided to tell her about that (and still feared she would rip his head off), her response was a bright smile and a "Thank you!"
** The first and last arcs of Episode 4 was about Tadakuni trying to get close to Yoshitake and Hidenori, spending most of the skit eavesdropping (first skit) or asking Nago for advice (last skit), only to find the two guys that he thought was Yoshitake and Hidenori just happened to be look-alikes.

** ''High School Boys and the PowerOfFriendship'': Tadakuni's sister wanted the trio to find out PantyThieves in her house (which are, indeed, Tadakuni and Hidenori). Yoshitake [[TakingTheHeat took the heat]], but when she started beating him, he "sold" the other two of the trio.
** ''High School Boys and Traditional Events'': See BlatantLies, above.
** ''High School Boys and the Literature Girl 2'': Motoharu went on making wind-related quotes to the Literature Girl. It turned out he spoke to the wrong person--he intended to speak to his sister.

The entire thing was, instead, ended by him showing [[spoiler:his scar]].

!!!This manga provides examples of:

* ArtificialRiverbank
* BattleAura: PlayedForLaughs during the lost girl skit.
* BlatantLies: In Episode 2, the three guys and Karasawa go to the principal and discuss the school's "70-hour fast" tradition. The latter, having only been on his position for three years but unwilling to leave them in the open, makes up a story about how, back in 1984, the principal saved the school from complete shutdown due to low attendance by pleading with prefectural authorities for 70 straight hours. [[MomentKiller Then Karasawa reveals that Sanada North High is only founded in 1989.]]
* BoyMeetsGirl: Invoked by the girl, and recognized by this name by the boy.
* BlueWithShock: The first reaction the characters have to the [[VomitIndiscretionShot vomit]] story.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: As early as the intro before the opening in the ''first'' episode.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint
* ColorFailure: The boys when Tadakuni's sister finds him using her skirt (plus a few other items).
** Again in episode 2 when Tadakuni and Yasunori discover Nago [[SheCleansUpNicely can look pretty in a convex mirror]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Nago and Karasawa
* {{Delinquents}}: Motoharu is called as and looks like one, but is otherwise a pretty NiceGuy. The same goes for the Student Council of which he is a member... [[FaceOfAThug whose members, seemingly delinquents all]], are actually sensible and well-mannered, save for the StudentCouncilPresident, a {{Bishonen}} (complete with being voiced by AkiraIshida).
* DistaffCounterpart: A series of post-credits skits features Habata, Yanagi and Ikushima, three girls who look, act and talk remarkably like their male counterparts Tadakuni, Hidenori and Yoshitake, respectively. Even their names start with the same kanji. As bonus, Tadakuni's younger sister has her own counterpart in the form of Habata's older brother.
* DramaticWind: Invoked.
* TheFaceless: Tadakuni, Yoshitake, and Motoharu's sisters. Habata's older brother is also faceless.
* FoodAsBribe: At Episode 4's post-credits skit, the three girls discuss why boys are [[SelfDeprecation boring to watch]] and [[BreakingTheFourthWall wonder how they even got an anime]]. Then Yanagi and Ikushima got the idea of asking (read: screaming at) Karasawa, who lives next door to Habata's house (where the girls frequently meet). Then Karasawa throws them sweets, and the two girls stop screaming at him and gorged at the food like there's no tomorrow.
* HiddenEyes: Anyone (mostly female) except the main male population of Sanada North High, as well as a few recurring females, such as the Literature Girl, Nago, Ringo and her two accomplices, and Habata, Yanagi and Ikushima from the post-credits skits.
* LateForSchool: the intro of anime's first episode [[BreakingTheFourthWall breaks the fourth wall]] on that.
* NoNameGiven: Everyone with the exception of the main characters. This include recurring characters such as Tadakuni's little sister and the "Literature Girl".
* PlaceholderTitles: Episode 1's Ending, which used lines from one of the skits in the episode instead. Like anything in this show, it was {{lampshaded}}.
* RunningGag: The sponsor sections are always in line with the tone of the skit immediately preceding it.

* SecondYearProtagonist: most of the boys.
* ShaggyDogStory
* SeriousBusiness
* {{Shiritori}}: The boys had one in Episode 3. Tadakuni happened to have done some of them ''completely by accident''.
* ShoutOut
** In "High School Boys and Skirts", Yoshitake [[FullmetalAlchemist transmutes]] a pair of panties. He even mentions EquivalentExchange.
** In "The Daily Life of a Lady", Episode 2's post-credits skit, the titular Lady Yukana looks pretty much like [[ZeroNoTsukaima Louise de la Valliere]] with the lifestyle of [[Manga/HayateTheCombatButler Nagi Sanzen'in]], and is served by three men who look like [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Chili, Cilan, and Cress]].
** ''[[OnePiece Yonpiece]]'' appeared to be Tadakuni's favourity manga.
* SliceOfLife
* TakeThat: In the web previews' closing song and the "High Schools Girls are Funky" post-credits skit at Episode 3, the characters note that [[FourGirlEnsemble high school girls]] can do whatever they want and still be popular: [[KOn rock band]], [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_girls jazz band]], karate, [[BambooBlade kendo]] and/or [[{{Saki}} mahjong]]. Meanwhile, boys don't get much attention because they suck at everything that isn't [[SlamDunk sports]] or [[DragonballZ fighting]]
** Made completely hilarious thanks to episode 4 when [[spoiler:the boys beat the girls during the school festival ''except'' in fighting.]]
* TallDarkAndBishoujo: The "Literature Girl" (bonus points, too, for being voiced by YoukoHikasa).
* ThoseTwoGuys: The two lookalikes of Hidenori and Yoshitake in Episode 4.
** Tadakuni, Hidenori and Yoshitake and their {{Distaff Counterpart}}s Habata, Yanagi and Ikushima have similar dynamic, but since they're the main characters, it's {{subverted}}.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: In the first scary stories skit.
** Thankfully, it's just transparent blue and looks like water...until you see the [[CringeComedy centipede wriggling around]] in it.
* WidgetSeries
* WouldntHitAGirl: President says this near the end of his fight with Ringo-chan. [[spoiler:But it's obvious that he's just not that good at fighting.]]
