* [[Accidental Innuendo]]: "I'd let a fish lick me if it'd get me outta this wheelchair"
* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: Every single character seems remarkably nonchalant about a catastrophic flood.
* [[
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]:
** The exact moment when you realize the animation is ''hand drawn''.
Line 11:
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: The whole movie is pretty heartwarming, but the scene when {{spoiler|the elderly women, who were previously in wheelchairs, can run and play again}} deserves special mention.
** Also see [[Reality Subtext]].
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Ponyo was told by her father that she can't work magic and stay human. Remember that when she casts spells, she takes on that weird appearance that looks like a tadpole or a chicken. Or a vaguely anthropomorphic [
* [[Ear Worm]]: The theme song. Although the English version of the theme song is a definite [[Your Mileage May Vary]], partially due to the presence of certain siblings of certain controversial Disney personalities. But even if you hate the song, it's undeniably catchy... which makes it much more of an [[Ear Worm]] if you do hate it.
** [[Painful Rhyme]]: "She's a little fish from the deep blue sea" / "She's a little girl with a round [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle|tum-MY]]."

* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "Respect your father!"
** "Teeth!"
Line 38:
** Pretty much the entire movie. The ending shot will have you diving for your insulin.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Well, not the movie itself, but the ''reason'' behind the movie. See [[Reality Subtext]].
* [[Toy Ship]]: [[In-Universe]]
** The [[Toy Ship]] having to [[Princess Mononoke|choose between two worlds]].
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: Granmanmare evokes this due to her design being slightly more realistic than the traditionally Miyazaki-esque characters that surround her.
** Also, Ponyo's inbetween human-and-fish form.
* [[Values Dissonance]]: Leaving five-year-old children alone and unsupervised (in the middle of a typhoon, no less!) could be considered criminal neglect in some jurisdictions. Still, it can be considered as Lisa choosing the lesser of two
* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]:
** Ponyo, when we first see her. Look at the movie poster.
