(update links)
Line 143:
* [[CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable]]: In the [[Live Action Adaptation]], this happens when Haruhi is carried out of the water after falling of a cliff.
* [[Creepy Twins]]: Hikaru and Kaoru. Often eerily reminiscent of (siamese cat pair) Si and Am from ''[[Lady and the Tramp]]''. Also more reminiscent of the twins from The Shining... just watch their childhood/coming-of-age episode! Less so in the manga.
* [[Cross DresserCrossdresser]]: Played with until its stitching ruptured. It's played straight with Ranka and Haruhi, subverted with Benibara, parodied/played for laughs with the host boys (consider that they are thoroughly bishounen and would have no trouble looking like girls in the average anime) and Kasanoda, and (shockingly) played somewhat ''seriously'' when Ranka appears without having shaved or made himself up. Oh, and lampshaded when the girls of Ouran talk about how much they'd love to see [[Recursive Crossdressing|"Haruhi-kun" in girls' clothing]]. Way too much fun.
* [[Culture Clash]]: Played for laughs
* [[Cursed with Awesome]]: ''Oh, no!'' I've broken a vase, and to pay off my debt, I have to hang out with a bunch of well-mannered, cultured, downright hilarious, and dashingly handsome guys and meet rich girls who wouldn't give me a second look otherwise? Whatever will I do??? In fairness, the guys might be funny to watch but they could still be quite hard to live with. [[Instant Fanclub|And don't]] [[Shallow Love Interest|even get]] [[Flat Character|started ]] [[The Ditz|on the ]] [[Rich in Dollars, Poor In Sense|girls.]]
Line 232:
** [[Bonus Points]] to the fact that Kaoru seemingly admits to prefer [[Unusual Euphemism|playing catcher.]]
** One page has this exchange:
{{quote|Tamaki: Can You guess which part of me [[Freud Was Right|springish?]]
...
Haruhi: Your brain? }}
** The twins, ahem, like to [[Twincest|play doctor]] with each other and in the same episode begin {{spoiler|[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|sucking each other's fingers]].}}
Line 395:
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]:
** They aren't quite colour coded, but Tamaki and Kyouya seem to embody this trope rather well (cool-headed, intellectual [[Chessmaster]] vs. exhuberant, people-focused [[White Prince]]).
** Also, Honey-senpai and his younger brother Yasuchika are [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience]] with this in mind in one episode.
* [[Relationship Upgrade]]: {{spoiler|Haruhi and Tamaki}} become a couple in chapter 81.
* [[Rich Boredom]]: The motive for the club.
Line 438:
** The [[RahXephon]] shoutout has to do with one of the main characters from that series saying Lala... which is the magazine Ouran is published in. Could possibly be a shoutout to Haruhi's seiyuu, too, as one of [[Maaya Sakamoto]]'s earlier seiyuu roles was in Rahxephon. And the fact that [[Studio BONES]] animated both series is also a factor.
** Also, Renge has a [[Death Note|"Moe Note".]]
** In the [[Beach Episode]] the twins call Haruhi [[Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind|the Princess of the Valley of the Wind]] as she is the only one not [[Eek! aA Mouse!|being afraid of a millipede]].
** The [[Dating Sim]] Renge's obsessed with is a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Tokimeki Memorial]]''.
** [[Giant Robo|Something-Or-Other Robo?]]
Line 492:
* [[Twin Threesome Fantasy]]: As well as the excess amounts of [[Ho Yay]] and [[Twincest]], this is part of Hikaru and Kaoru's shtick. They explain that a lot of the girls who sit at their table buy into this fantasy, and they use one of the girls to demonstrate why this idea is so popular.
* [[Twin Switch]]: And the "Which one is Hikaru-kun Gaaame!!" Haruhi, who has known the twins for the least amount of time, seems to be the only one able to tell the difference.
* [[One Mario Limit|Two Haruhi Limit]]: Fujioka won the competition to be The Other Haruhi, beating out [[Happiness! (visual novel)||Kamisaka]].
* [[Uncle Pennybags]]: All main characters, really (except for Haruhi).
* [[Unmoving PlaidPattern]]: Present in Episode 4.
* [[Unwanted Harem]]: And Haruhi's at the center of it. Tamaki, predictably, reframes it as a heartful love comedy with himself as [[First Girl Wins|the actual lead]] along with a bunch of "[[Pretty Freeloaders|homosexual side characters]]".
* [[Watching the Sunset]]: Tamaki envisions him and Haruhi doing this while walking along the beach together in one of his many [[Imagine Spot|Imagine Spots]].
