'''English Title (Localized): "''Baka and Test: Summon the Beasts''"''' }}

 

* [[Actor Allusion]] -- Nishimura-sensei looks quite like [[Metal Gear Solid|Solid Snake and/or Big Boss]], and also shares the [[Akio Ohtsuka|same voice actor as them]]. At one point he hides under a cardboard box.

* [[A-Cup Angst]] -- Minami. From the [["On the Next..."]] preview quiz at the end of Episode 8:

'''Fukuhara-sensei:''' No comment. }}

** Mizuki and even Shouko feel a bit underwhelmed compared to Akira. They even grope her in episode 1 of Season 2.

** While Yuko is disguised as Hideyoshi in episode 3 of Season 2, Akihisa says something to tick her off and she puts him in a wrestling hold. He seems to be in pain initially, then...

'''Yuko:''' What do you mean "faintly"? I have some, more or less! }}

*** Which hilariously causes Hideyoshi later to feel concerned that they're going go suspect even more [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|he's a woman]]. Yuko immediately [[Lampshade Hanging|dismisses the idea,]] telling him that's how they've always treated him anyway.

* [[Dragged Into Drag]] -- In ''Ni!'s'' festival episode, the boys are forced to crossdress for a [[Beauty Contest]]. [[Springtime for Hitler|The judges love them.]]

* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]] -- There are three genders in the world of ''Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu'': male, female, [[My Friends and Zoidberg|and]] [[media:special_gender.jpg|Hideyoshi]]. This has even led to separate facilities in public baths and changing rooms just for him!

** To a lesser extent, Akihisa also looked pretty in a [[Meido]] outfit and a wig in the OVA.

* [[Dungeon Bypass]]

* [[Insane Troll Logic]]

** In episode 4.

'''[[Only Sane Man|Hideyoshi:]]''' [[This Is Wrong on So Many Levels]] that I don't even know where to begin. }}

** Also from episode 4, right after some people eat [[Lethal Chef|Himeji's]] cooking.

'''Akihisa:''' [[Lampshade Hanging|Dammit, his cognitive ability is leaving him]]! }}

** Followed almost immediately after by "use the spice named love to cure the poison".

*** Which Yuuji afterward promptly points out that love doesn't work on poison.

** Used by Akihisa's sister in episode 1 of Season 2 after she finds out that he's inviting girls to the beach with them. She allows it this one time on one condition...

'''Akira:''' ([[Battle Aura|smiley face]]) ...your entire family will be killed.<br />

'''Akihisa:''' Er, that includes you sis. }}

** For much of the first season, Akihisa has a single cup of ramen noodles as his only food source simply because he never has any money to buy more. He believes that he can extend his food almost indefinitely by dividing the noodles in half, and then dividing those in half, and so on. By reading the nutrition label, his train of logic is that he can get the full bowl's worth of calories from each individual piece.

* [[Insecure Love Interest]] -- Despite how much he may [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|deny feelings for]] and [[Running Gag|run away from]] [[Yandere|Shouko]] and her [[Ship Tease|advances]] on a frequent basis, when Yuuji actually talks about his relationship with her, he makes it out like [[It's Not You, It's Me|it's all his fault that she's fallen in love with a worthless guy like him]].

* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]] -- Kouta does this from time to time, complete with outfit, usually when Yuuji is planning a strategy against the other classes during their summoner battles. He will usually do intel with cameras/mics, and in one episode, does an "assassination" by forcefeeding one of the rival class student messenger [[Lethal Chef|Mizuki]]'s [[Screwball Serum|special Jello]].

* [[Instant Sedation]] -- During a card game in episode 4 of Season 2, [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|Hideyoshi]] is called on a card he placed down, and begins to strip his shirt. He immediately gets knocked out by a slightly drunken [[Clingy Jealous Girl|Himeji]], who claims [[Blatant Lies|he's simply "tired"]]. When Kouta attempts to mention the chloroform bottle laying nearby, she swipes her handkerchief at him, causing [[Blatant Lies|him to "get tired"]] as well.

** Becomes a [[Running Gag]] throughout the series. Yuuji sometimes utilizes this to his advantage against the other classes.

** One of the DVD Extras shows what Mizuki goes through in order to prepare her "Special Nikujaga". ''"It's guaranteed to be a traumatic experience."'' It requires the use of lethal doses of "food preservatives" such as concentrated Sulfuric acid, Chloroacetic acid, and Potassium Nitrate. Himeji recommends serving it immediately in a glass bowl, because [[Hollywood Acid|the glass won't melt.]]

* [[Love Dodecahedron]] -- '''Oh yes.'''

** The [[Love Triangle]] between Akihisa, Mizuki and Minami is a recurring theme throughout the series; both girls are deeply in love with him; the guy [[Oblivious to Love|doesn't notice]].

** Shouko towards Yuuji.

** Himeji, though not as blatant as Shouko, still has her moments.

** She has another moment with this trope in episode 9 of Season 1 after everyone walks home with him to find out why he doesn't want to go home.

'''Akihisa:''' Why are you squinting? }}

* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]] -- Akira seems to be the first to acknowledge that Hideyoshi [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|is actually a guy]], but then claims that Mizuki and Minami are also guys, under the logic that "my stupid loser of a little brother couldn't possibly have any female friends". It also doesn't help that Akihisa would always butt in and declare he is a girl whenever someone is on the cusp of realizing Hideyoshi's true gender.

* [[Yaoi Fangirl]]

** Yuuji and Akihisa are apparently an item in the eyes of one of Mizuki's friends.

'''Akihisa:''' I don't think you should be friends with her. }}

** Akira also displays a strong interest in yaoi. [[Het Is Ew|She forbids him from engaging in anything romantic with girls, but actually awards him points for]] [[Ho Yay]], and only tolerates heterosexual relationships that involve [[Brother-Sister Incest|herself and Akihisa]].
