Line 8:
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The opening and closing themes, as well as many of the image songs. In particular, Kagura's "Ashita wa Makenai! GO! FRIEND!" and Sakaki's "Shin wa Shoujo Parashuuto".
* [[Ear Worm]]: If you can listen to ''Soramimi Cake'' (aka "[[Mondegreen]] Cake") without it getting it stuck in your head, you are officially immune to any [[Ear Worm]].
** Hey, no mention of ''E'ye'' or ''E'ye 2''; the songs used for the eye catchers during the commercial breaks? If that tune doesn't turn into a ringtone for your cell phone than you officially are deaf to any and all [[Ear Worm]].
* [[Epileptic Trees]]: See the WMG link above.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Osaka, Chiyo-chichi, Kimura-sensei.
Line 18:
* [[Les Yay]]: Lots of it, but especially between Yukari and Nyamo.
** and Tomo and Yomi.
** Kagura's friendly rival deal with Sakaki definitely comes off this way.
* [[Mary Sue]]: Could be a deliberate [[Subversion]] with Sakaki: she's tall, beautiful and athletic, intelligent and educated, is kind and polite and has a wonderful singing voice and may or may not be rich. Except she doesn't want any of this, she just wants to be small and cute and tend to cats, but all cats everywhere {{spoiler|well, mostly anyway}} seem to instinctively attack her viciously. And the wounds she gets from those attacks, combined with her calm demeanor and her physical size make her seem to other students more like a scary delinquent than anything.
* [[Memetic Molester]]: Osaka and Kimura.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "Mai waifu", as first spoken by Kimura when introducing his [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife|hot]] "waifu" to the girls. Used by fans to describe anime or video game women that are, in their opinion, "desirable". Also, [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant|Osaka is evil]].
Line 26 ⟶ 27:
** Let's not forget Osaka's weather prediction.
** For some reason, Yomi has become the mascot for various image boards' "war on [[Acceptable Targets|furries]]". It has to be from the episode with Tomo in the mascot outfit.
** A text drawing of Osaka was used in a [http://c64.org/~jgb/osakaphone.swf short viral flash video]{{Dead link}}, set to a sped-up version of Raffi's "Bananaphone". Later became the mascot for [[AMV Hell]], after being used in a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceV9K0zxd_s parody of the infamous Ellen Feiss Apple commercial].
*** [[Memetic Badass]]: [http://mastafuu.deviantart.com/art/Hunted-Predator-20292897 That little moment with the knife gets stuck in peoples' heads...]
** Rachel Handelbarz goes great with mustard.
Line 39 ⟶ 40:
* [[Tastes Like Diabetes]]: "Aaa shit, you're so cute!" Yomi says, with an exasperated expression.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: The end of the series. Sakaki gets plenty of scenes by herself that qualify.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20110226041334/http://www.mangatoshokan.com/read/Azumanga-Daioh-Hoshuu-hen/692/1/7 Sakaki doesn't care for the place.]
** Also Osaka is different from the other girls, combined with [[Dissonant Serenity]] makes her [[Nightmare Fuel]]; especially with a knife.
* [[Values Dissonance]]: Sakaki's lack of self-esteem, especially when comparing herself to Chiyo, seems downright ludicrous to western viewers who don't understand the difference between Japanese standards of beauty and their own.
** The values dissonance in this case really isn't between Japan and the west, but ''Sakaki and everyone else''. Plenty of other people in the show comment on how attractive she is... it's just that Sakaki's personal ideals are very different.
* [[What an Idiot!]]: What was Yomi thinking when she [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yefMRQFjbU bought bear stew for Sakaki?] To be fair, it doesn't seem as though she knows too much about what Sakaki is like deep down at that point.
** [[Alternate Character Interpretation|Either that or it's another example of her mean sense of humor.]]
Line 51 ⟶ 53:
** [[Alternate Character Interpretation|If her dreams are any indication]], [[Inferiority Superiority Complex|Tomo has massive insecurities, which leads to her]] being such a [[Jerkass]].
* [[Woolseyism]]: Hey y'all, I'm Osaka...
* [[
