* [[Breakaway Pop Hit]]: 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). |

* [[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...). |

* [[Excited Kids Show Host]]: Averted. The hosts are rather subdued and rarely talk down to the kids as much as many shows of this type. |

* [[Fake Band]]: 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. |

* [[Food Porn]]: Seriously, most of the skits and songs seem to be about food. This could just be a cultural thing though. |

* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made |
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?]]: 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). |

* [[Writing Around Trademarks]]: 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 Time Warner ever catches Japanese children's programming). |
