Nichijou: Difference between revisions

* [[Book Dumb]]: Yuuko. Mio has to cheer her up so she won't feel too bad about her low grades (read: 1%).

* [[Book Ends]]: The anime series begins and ends with a section about motivation, complete with a shot of [[Cherry Blossoms]] popping up spontaneously.

* [[Brick Joke]]: At the beginning of Episode 8, Nano accidentally activates a [[Rocket Punch]]. Her right hand then flies across the sky during Sasahara's segment (causing him to write a haiku about it), and comes back again later to sock Misato in the head.

** And at the end of the episode we see Misato cooking at home, with a bump from the head injury she got earlier visible.

* [[Bring My Brown Pants]]: The Professor suffers a late night [[Potty Emergency]], and would've held out if not for a particularly fierce bolt of lightning.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Nano, mostly due to the Professor's rather childlike inventions placed throughout her body.

** Mio can qualify as well, since she has to deal with Yuuko, often unknowingly, pressing her [[Berserk Button]], her own [[Covert Pervert]] tendencies landing her in a position that's far from ideal, and her [[The Gadfly|Gadfly]] of an older sister.

** Sakamoto. Looks like his fate is to be the pet of a well-meaning but careless [[Mad Scientist]], no matter where he goes.

* [[Do-Anything Robot]]: Nano, [[I Just Want to Be Normal|much to her chagrin]]. She even has a ''[[Face Fault|reaction]] function''.

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: The build up to [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/nichijou/v02/c025/39.html this page] is Yuuko swearing off jokes, only for Mai to dial her 'boke'ness [[Up to Eleven]]. Yuuko's reaction after letting it all out is...interesting, to say the least. Even more so in the episode this skit's featured in (17).

* [[Dreadful Musician]]: Nano.

* [[Elevator Failure]]: Happens to Yuuko, Mio, and Mai in Episode 8.

* [[Emotionless Girl]]: Mai acts this way as a vehicle for her pranks.

* [[Here We Go Again]]: The last segment of Episode 26 is quite similar to the first one from Episode 1. It even has the same title.

* [[Hereditary Hairstyle]]: Nakanojou and his father (the daifuku guy), as revealed in Episode 16.

* [[Honest Axe]]: Yoshino pulls a rather insane variation with fish sculptures.

* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: The Professor uses this to test Nano's ''[[Face Fault|reaction]] function'' in Episode 15.

* [[Love Hurts]]: Happens to Mio in episode 25. She ends up taking a very long run in the process...

* [[Lucky Charms Title]]: The opening song is called "Hyadain no Ka-ka-kata☆Kataomoi-C".

== M-R ==

* [[Only Known By Their Nickname]]: Misato's two friends Fecchan and Weboshi.

* [[Only Six Faces]]: There are only four or so unique faces, and even those are subject to [[Art Shift|change]] based on the situation. This is actually the source of a lot of stylistic parody -- the school trio and scientist trip lend themselves well to being photoshopped into other character's costumes.

* [[Overly Long Gag]]:

{{quote| '''Professor:''' Hakase da nyan!<br />

* [[Rocket Punch]]: Nano has one. And a rocket ''toe. A USB rocket toe''.

** Nano seems to have no control over the timing of said [[Rocket Punch]]. It just fires when it feels like it.

* [[Rule of Three]]: Episodes 8 and 9 both have a "Things we think are cool!" segment, done by the schoolgirl trio. In episode 10, it's subverted -- Mai does the segment herself, in her [[Emotionless Girl|usual manner]].

* [[Running Gag]]: Yuuko has a tendency to throw together haiku on the fly, but she consistently ends them all with "Mogami-gawa" (Mogami River).

** Mio and food. In episode 14, Yuuko bought her yakisaba by mistake instead of the yakisoba she wanted, and she ''flipped the fuck out''.

* [[Shiritori]]: Mio and Yuuko play a picture version while passing notes in class. It quickly goes downhill.

** To ''[[Super Mario Bros]].'' [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/nichijou/v01/c018/4.html here]. The anime version shows up in Episode 15.

** In Episode 2 of the anime, Sasahara can be seen playing with a [[Game Boy]], and later with a [[Virtual Boy]].

*** From the same episode: ''Sometimes I'm a bear, sometimes I'm a be-ar, [[Cutey Honey|but my true identity is]]...''

** In Episode 5, Nakanojo tries to disprove the spiritualist by asking him to summon soap. When the medium does so, he fearfully thought "Is there a person named Soap?" This could be a possible shout out to Soap MacTavish of [[Modern Warfare]], since, for one, both characters sport mohawks.

** In Episode 6 of the anime, a car and married couple from the Game of Life appear.

** The Coffee Shop girl.

* [["Silly Me" Gesture]]: The Professor often do this when questioned by Nano about the latest weird device she has installed on her.

* [[Slapstick]]

** [[Slapstick Knows No Gender]]: Or species, for that matter (See [[Amusing Injuries]] above).

* [[Wacky Homeroom]]

* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: Mio's and Yūko's screams of pain are capable of destroying roofs, skyscrapers, and ''planets.'' "Aaaah," indeed.

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: Everything, ever.

* [[When She Smiles]]: Mai with her usual dull, emotionless expression, becomes rather adorable the few times she smiles, or even laughs.

* [[Wiki Walk]]: One of the school faculty members manages a good one in episode 11.

* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: Subverted. The Professor might be able to build [[Ridiculously Human Robot|robots that can eat and feel emotion]], but she's still a little kid emotionally.

* [[Word Salad Title]]: ''Helvetica Standard'', which incidentally is the [[Useful Notes/Fonts|font]] that the English component of ''Nichijou'''s logo is typeset in.

* [[World of Ham]]: Admit it.
