Line 204:
* [[Gainax Ending]]: The manga ends this way. {{spoiler|Kafuka is [[Dead All Along]] and has possessed the rest of the cast by way of organ donations after they attempted suicide before the show started.}}
* [[Gag Sub]]: By the very people who make the show. ''Zoku'' Episode 2 is spoken in nonsense, with even greater nonsense added on in the form of subtitles. Only [[Studio Shaft]] and [[Akiyuki Shinbo]] would do this.
** One [[Fan Sub]] at least added the original dialogue from the manga, where a lookalike of [
** Entertainingly, most of the characters' gibberish fits their personalities somehow. Itoshiki-sensei's most commonly repeated word is 'bure' - twisted - from Season 1's opening, and Abiru uses mostly 'shippo' (tail).
* [[Gaussian Girl]]: About [[Once Per Episode]] or more, the character will focus on a (generally female) character about to speak, and they will be framed in soft light and sometimes [[Bishie Sparkle|sparkle]].
Line 241:
* [[Image Song]]
* [[Inherently Funny Words]]:
** [
** Also counting as inherently funny are the tongue-twister in the "in the last volume" openers and any real words that showed up in the [[Gag Sub]] episode.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Chiri makes one. Subverted, as Nozomu and Maria find it [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|extremely hilarious]], much to Chiri's annoyance.
Line 284:
** That's just scratching the surface. The characters often worry about the show's ratings, debate who's the most popular character, and ponder the episodes' [[Aesop|Aesops]].
* [[No Communities Were Harmed]]: The Itoshikis' native Kuraizawa, Shinshuu Prefecture. Kuraizawa is based on Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture ("Kurai" means "dark"); "Shinshuu" was another name for "Shinano", one of Japan's former provinces (replaced by prefectures during the Meiji Restoration), now also known as Nagano Prefecture.
** Incidentally, one can't get to Karuizawa from Tokyo via local (futsuu) trains without taking a major detour, because the line through the [
* [[Not Allowed to Grow Up]]: Poked fun at. Zetsubou Sensei's class repeatedly fail their exams so they have to repeat their year over and over, thus never allowed to "grow up". {{spoiler|Then they DID graduate to their next year, without much fanfare. It's not stopping the comedy.}}
* [[Nothing Is Scarier]]: In chapter 223 Chiri gets a book that describes what crimes people were to commit based on their laughing faces. When she see's what Kafuka's laugh would lead to, she passes out. We never see what crime it was...
Line 374:
** "Lyricure Go Go!", ''Zoku'''s one-shot opening for Episode 7, was the theme for a [[Magical Girl]] parody.
** "Omamori", ''Zoku'''s ending theme for Episode 13, [[Art Shift|Art Shifts]] into gothic horror, drawn in a style reminiscent of [[Hellboy]].
** "Ringo Mogire Beam!", ''Zan'''s opening theme, translates to "Apple Plucking Beam!". The lyrics are about a man who believes he has found his soulmate, but is afraid to proceed (by "giving her his password"), accompanied by repeated exclamations of the song's title. "Ringo Mogire Beam!" could be viewed as the password mentioned in the song... or it could just be a random exclamation. (Note: Apparently it parodies doomsday group "Cosmic Brotherhood Association" which believes the world would be destroyed by a flood, and the only way out is rescue by [
** [[Up to Eleven|The full version is even MORE surreal. Somehow.]]
** "Zetsubou Restaurant", ''Zan'''s ending theme, sings about leaving the troubles of the world behind, while depicting the various evening activities of Class 2-He (save Kafuka, who is only shown standing in front of the school in a kimono).
