'''[[Fun with Acronyms|T]]'''roubleshoot }}

 

* [[Brats with Slingshots]]: Though most fights consist of Himeko doing the heavy lifting while the others stand in the background and pose, Bossun does have a slingshot that he can use to shoot pachinko balls with remarkable precision.

* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: The student council president, Agata Soujiro, is portrayed as this.

* [[Calvin Ball]]: Any time geography teacher Yamanobe Kunio shows up, he's bound to have some utterly nonsensical game in tow;

* [[Can't Hold His Liquor]]: Shinba Michiru can get drunk just by smelling cooking sake.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: Tsubaki could give Mr. T or [[Soul Eater|Excalibur]] a run for their money saying "[[Baka|FOOL!]]" in almost every chapter he appears.

** Apparently [[Hiro Shimono|he]] got annoyed at being called one [[Baka Test|all the time]]

* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: Himeko. They don't call her the ''Onihime'' for nothing (that roughly translates to Ogre Princess, "Ogress" or Demon Princess).

** Koma-chan as well, [[Hilarity Ensues|but played more for laughs]].

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Near the start of episode 10 Switch lists the things that the A/V club is responsible for doing in the school. One of those tasks (or more precisely the equipment that they use for it) which becomes important at the end of the episode when it come time to expose the [[Smug Snake]] villain.

* [[Reed Richards Is Useless|Chuuma-sensei Is Useless]]: [[Absent-Minded Professor|Chuuma]]-[[Mad Scientist|sensei]] has, on his way to inventing an effective hair restoration topical (which alone would [[Cut Lex Luthor a Check|net him billions]]), a freaking [[Fountain of Youth|de-aging potion]]! It's only flaw? That it might be permanent! It's strictly [[Played for Laughs]].

* [[Education Through Pyrotechnics]]: For a chemistry teacher, Chuuma is quite skilled at blowing up experiments.

* [[Fourth Wall Observer]]: Bossun and Himeko.

* [[Freaky Friday Flip]]

* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: Switch, to a degree.

** There is an episode where he shows his shelved [[Awesome but Impractical]] gadgets. And then Bossun has a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] when he inventively combines several of these gadgets to save a boy who falls from a building!

* [[Hot Mom]]: Bossun's mother. {{spoiler|Both of them}}

* [[Huge Schoolgirl]]: Koma-chan

* [[Important Haircut]]: Both Himeko and Switch in their respective [[Backstory|Backstories]], each for his/her own reasons. Tsubaki also makes such a decision when appearing as a minor character in Bossun's backstory.

* [[It's Always Spring|It's Always Autumn]]: Chapters 15 through 138 all take place in the autumn.

* [[Large Ham]]: Switch, Date and Roman in particular

** [[World of Ham]]: pretty much

* [[New Transfer Student]]: Sugihara Teppei.

* [[Nice Hat]]: Bossun and Roman.

* [[Non-Action Guy]]: Switch.

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: The Student Council President. He's really a [[Magnificent Bastard]]. [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|And also kind of a dick.]]

* [[Overly Narrow Superlative]]: Himeko calls Bossun "the number one in Japan when it comes in finding a way of breaking out of a warehouse with long arms" during the first part of Costume Break.

* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: The [[Funny Afro|notorious afro costume]]. And of course: [http://www.mangareader.net/sket-dance/118/10 Deer Man and the Sket Squad Kyeunja]. Cue [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment.

* [[Team Pet]]: Housuke the Scops owl.

* [[Terrible Artist]]: Himeko is a terrible artist. Roman is somehow even worse, and as an aspiring manga artist she creates [[Stylistic Suck|nigh-incomprehensible]] works that read like a combination of shojo and [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|JoJo]]. Shojojo.

* [[The Thing That Goes Doink]]

* [[Tomato Surprise]]: {{spoiler|The last chapter of "Switch Off", when we realise that "An-chan" is the current Switch. "One Guy's Quiet Day Off" makes it seem that the guy is a hatless Bossun up until [[The Reveal]].}}
