History Series / OkaasanToIssho

* WritingAroundTrademarks: Kobayashi (along with Itou as his assistant) plays a trickster type in one recurring sketch, changing a picture and making kids guess what was changed about it. His costume is awwwwwfully close to the Riddler's outfit from Batman (let's hope no one from [=WarnerMedia=] ever catches Japanese children's programming).

His costume is awwwwwfully close to the Riddler's outfit from Batman (let's hope no one from Time Warner ever catches Japanese children's programming).

* FakeBand: The music video for ''Rock N Roll Dragon'' has the hosts pretending to be a rock band. Mitani and Itou are the guitarist and bassist and obviously have no clue how to play, and they don't even fake it (they simply hold the guitars rigidly). Kobayashi behind the skins seems to know what he's doing, though.

* ''Yowa Mushi Monsters'' (2012-), an angel-like character teaches viewers how to repel monsters by showing their weakness (such as throwing a kiss, clapping, or making faces). Also known as ''Yowamon''.

* {{Engrish}}: It's probably a good thing that very few of the target audience can read some of the Engrish shirts that have appeared on the show (a 3-year-old wearing a "Gay Jews for Jesus" immediately comes to mind...).

''Okaasan to Issho'' (roughly translated, "With Mother") is a long-running show on NHK in Japan (since 1959) aimed at preschool children, much like Creator/TheBBC's ''Watch with Mother''. The show is a collection of sketches, songs and dances, many designed to be interactive with the child's parents (specifically, Mommy, see {{Housewife}} below). Actual children are usually part of the show and interact with the hosts.

* BreakawayPopHit: A recent song about a mushroom wanting to leave the forest and go on an adventure (set to traditional Russian folk music) became a hugely popular hit and charted on the regular Japanese music charts. It was even sung live by the hosts on NHK's New Year's Eve special (one of the most watched shows of the year in Japan).

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Many non-Japanese can find the skits and songs, well, ''disturbing''. Given that it's Japanese and aimed at small children, the show can seem like a weird acid trip sometimes (IE, the aformentioned mushroom song video).
