Line 84:
** This one is part [[Bowdlerization]] and part [[Ascended Meme]], but in the anime, the phrase "Very Nice Men" or somesuch adaptation thereof invariably refers to the [[Yakuza]] that Hayate's parents sold him to. This extends to pretty much all fan discussion of both the manga and the anime.
* [[It Runs in The Family]] - Though we've only seen the female half of the Saginomiya family, they're all pretty well [[Cloudcuckoolander]]. Isumi is the closest one to sane, and she barely qualifies as such.
** Isumi's grandmother mistakes Isumi's mother -- hermother—her own daughter! -- for Hayate when meeting him for the first time. And the mother thinks she actually is! Even wondering where she went when the grandmother changes paths.
** Sakuya's family is just as comedy-obsessed as she is.
* [[Sacred First Kiss]]
Line 100:
** Hinagiku had a short one even earlier in chapter 45 where she clings to Hayate after he comes out of nowhere to save her from a monster in the haunted school building. Hayate's face [[Luminescent Blush|completely lights up]] and he stutters trying to think of what to say. The next chapter has Hina making Hayate swear to never tell anyone (as an after-thought as she was more concerned about people knowing she was scared of the monster due to her pride as Hakuou's [[Student Council President]]).
** Nagi also does one to Ayumu in Chapter 215 after they wind up alone in a dark cave in Greece. She was actually fine up until Ayumu turned the flashlight off...right after she recalled that Nagi mentioned not being good with dark places.
* [[Serious Business]] - Butlers must be ready to defend their masters with their lives, and Hayate's [[Charles Atlas Superpower|superhuman feats]] are apparently the bare minimum for a butler--heckbutler—heck, he doesn't even have a master sword technique that sets stuff on fire!
* [[Shallow Love Interest]] - Koutarou Azumamiya used to be this for Hinagiku originally, and the anime even added a few episodes of this to him, but since the second year started, he's actually gotten some character of his own.
** Although he now seems more concerned with ''Hayate'' instead after that development. Nagi certainly took notice of the way he was holding Hayate's sleeve on the Mt. Takao trip and Nishizawa immediately edged closer to Hayate while giving him a look as soon as she met the guy and he said barely two words to Hayate. Perhaps they notice something Hayate doesn't...
Line 130:
* [[Social Services Does Not Exist]] - Worst. Parents. Ever.
** Well, let's not be too quick to say [[Ranma ½|worst]]... ...well, then again, fine, worst.
*** [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Worst]] [[Blaz Blue|in a]] comedy [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|series]], [[Code Geass|maybe]].
* [[Something About a Rose]] - Himuro Saeki
* [[Stable Time Loop]] - In the final episode of the first season; in [[Foreshadowing|Athens, Greece.]] Adapted from a bonus chapter in the manga (volume 4).
Line 258:
** Subverted in chapter 262: {{spoiler|Athena tells Hayate she's cold, and he offers her his jacket, completely oblivious to her subtext - she wants him to give her a cuddle. He catches on eventually.}}
** Although not quite implied that it's because she's cold, Hinagiku is seen wearing a male's (possibly Hayate's) jacket as she runs from the beach where she's just played beach volleyball, so she's in a bikini.
* [[You Must Be This Tall to Ride]] - Hayate's absurdly rich mistress has an entire amusement park that was given to her as an elaborate [[Kick the Dog]]--all—all the rides require a height she is as yet unable to reach...and may never grow into.
* [[Younger Than They Look]] - Believe it or not, the butlers Nonohara, Himuro & Kotetsu are all under 19 years old! This is pretty shocking since Kotetsu looks like he's in his 30s yet is actally a teenager and is also {{spoiler|Izumi's older twin brother!}}
** Maria is 17 years old, but many are often mistaken that she looks older due to her maturity. By the way, '''DO NOT IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SAY SHE DOESN'T LOOK SEVENTEEN!'''. Just Don't! Say it again or '''[[Berserk Button|you will suffer the consequences!]]''' You have been warned!
