Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]]: In one episode there's a scene where the twins are lying in bed in front of their maids. One of them pulls off the covers and reveals he's wearing a colorful elephant head on his crotch, that blasts confetti into the air. This is not given any lines, and it goes onto the next scene quickly afterwards, with this never being explained or mentioned again.
** The elephant head is a common way to censor out nudity, so that's probably what that was.
* [[BLAMNon Sequitur Scene Episode]]: There ''was'' the random episode that was a parody of [[Alice in Wonderland]] featuring random single-episode characters from throughout the first season showing up again...
* [[Crosses the Line Twice]]: The twins antics are sometimes seen as this.
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: The climax of the final episode.
Line 29:
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: That episode where a boy thought Haruhi was a cross-dresser. Then we meet her father.
** The creator early on in the series said she couldn't see Haruhi getting together with Tamaki. ''Guess how it ends''.
** [[Maaya Sakamoto]] (Haruhi) and [[Kenichi Suzumura]] (Hikaru in the anime and Kaoru in the drama CD) recently (as of August 2011) got married. This way, the Hitachiin twins/Haruhi [[OT3One True Threesome]] ''actually became real''.
* [[Ho Yay]]: Hikaru and Kaoru, Mori and Honey. Kyouya and Tamaki are not without subtext as well (being "mommy" and "daddy," and so on...)
** There's also a more subtle one with Kyoya. When Tamaki calls the rest of the host club (other than Haruhi) the homosexual supporting cast, Kyoya is annoyed. However, he's only annoyed by the 'supporting' line, he doesn't seem to care that he was called a homosexual.
Line 41:
* [[Memetic Outfit]]: Haruhi's first appearance is a wee bit...unflattering.
** Aaand, it has returned~! Haruhi goes back to her frumpy outfit in chapter 76 of the manga {{spoiler|to protest the banning of the host club and send a message to Tamaki, who has been forbidden to talk to her}}. Looking back at chapter 1 with the same outfit it's easier to see some [[Art Evolution]], too.
* [[OT3One True Threesome]]: Try [[Tenchi Solution|OT''7'']]. It's like a fangirl's dream come true.
** That being said, Haruhi paired up with the Twins is a fairly popular [[OT3One True Threesome]] among fans of this series.
* [[Periphery Demographic]]: There are a surprising amount of male fans. The fact that it [[Affectionate Parody|pokes fun at]] a genre that males might find a little ridiculous is a key factor. And although the guys don't swoon over most of the Host Club members, Haruhi is [[Moe|so cute!]] Plus it's [[Rule of Funny|just plain funny]].
** The end of chapter 82. {{spoiler|"Yes, I will go...I'm going to America."}}
Line 48:
** {{spoiler|It's likely Kyoya was still angry at her for frightening them. And she didn't seem to be getting the point otherwise. Also, Kyoya seems to like, and even play up the rest of the characters' view that he's secretly [[Token Evil Teammate|evil]] so while it was still really creepy, and kind of a [[What the Hell, Hero?]]? moment, it's not exactly out of character.}}
*** The whole thing is just ridiculously victim-blaming, whatever excuses you throw at it. Likely a result of [[Values Dissonance]] as well.
* [[The Scrappy]]: Renge.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Haruhi's dream about her lost mother.
* [[The Woobie]]: Each of the main characters has had at least one Woobie moment, especially in the case of Tamaki.
