Line 139:
* [[The Chew Toy]]: Keroro's regular failure to complete his plans of world domination or even ''his household chores'' result in him getting grabbed by the head, smacked, punched, shoved into the wall, kicked across the room ([[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|gooooaaaall!!]]), and otherwise getting abused by Natsumi. [[Lampshaded]] in one 'flashback' scene where Keroro throws in a few Japanese torture sequences that never really happened...
* [[Clean Cut|Clean]]/DiagonalCut: Dororo seems to be a master of this.
* [[NotComic AllowedBook to Grow UpTime]]: Even though every season of the anime features holiday and birthday specials and there are direct references to previous years, the human characters still keep their original ages and are still in the same school years. The same happens with Tamama, who still keeps a tadpole's tail and white face, even though Taruru, a Keronian younger than him, matured in the 2nd season.
** [[Lampshaded]] by the manga, when Fuyuki said that he was "just 12(?) years old" in a later volume.
** Irregularly contradicted by the anime itself, which is also the biggest offender due to the number of holiday and anniversary episodes. Paul, in Episode 92, mentions that Momoka's birth was commemorated 13 years ago, and Natsumi was said to be 14 in the second movie, which means that the entire cast aged at least one year. There are also various references to the Keroro platoon spending years on Earth and vague comments about the human characters getting older. However, official guidebooks still keep everyone's starting ages and school years as the only official ones.
*** The newest databook for the manga (as of volume 23) actually said that the human characters had aged one year since the start of the series, breaking away from the manga's previous references to the lack of aging of the human cast.
* [[Conspicuous CG]]: Keroro's ceiling fan. Seriously, how is THAT the only thing?
** Most of the closing credits sequences utilise cel-shaded CGI.
Line 397 ⟶ 401:
* [[Noodle Incident]]: It's mentioned often that Keroro was the most insane and violent soldier in all of Keron ''"in the old days"'', but the only times we see anything close to it is when Keroro gets drunk on moisture. A better example would be Keroro's own father, the "Demon Sergeant", rumored to be the most fearsome sergeant in the galaxy, but only appears on vacation in a Hawaii shirt and an easygoing attitude, [[Obfuscating Stupidity|at least on the surface.]]
* [[No Sense of Humor]]: Giroro. In the dub, he describes himself as incapable of feeling joy.
* [[Not Allowed to Grow Up]]: Even though every season of the anime features holiday and birthday specials and there are direct references to previous years, the human characters still keep their original ages and are still in the same school years. The same happens with Tamama, who still keeps a tadpole's tail and white face, even though Taruru, a Keronian younger than him, matured in the 2nd season.

* [[Not Me This Time]]: There's a rather sad example in one chapter; Keroro is expecting praise for doing a good job cleaning the house, but is instead met with furious accusations by Natsumi and Fuyuki of screwing with computer networks across the city, and has a nervous breakdown when they refuse to believe his pleas that he's not responsible. {{spoiler|The real culprits turn out to be [[The Psycho Rangers|the Garuru Platoon]], as a prelude to taking over the invasion of Earth.}}
* [[Not So Different]]: In the anime, when Keroro is inspired by finding Dororo to actually act like a competent leader, Giroro acts like more of a [[Yes-Man]] then Tamama, [[Ho Yay|even having sparkly pink backgrounds to emphasize his admiration]].
