* [[Affectionate Parody]]
* [[Always Someone Better]]
* [[Amusing Injuries]]
* [[Antagonist in Mourning]]
* [[Art Shift]]
* [[Audience Shift]]
* [[Bad Bad Acting]]
* [[Bait and Switch Credits]]
** The first opening theme does show him selling his superbike and donning his civvies (plus mask), so it's not entirely bait-and-switch. Likewise, the second opening has him charging his gun from a wall socket.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]
* [[BFG]]
* [[Big Eater]]
* [[Big Fun]]
* [[Boss Subtitles]]
* [[Christmas Cake]]

* [[Couch Gag]]
** The S2 opening even has Antkiller wheeling Sunred's bike down the sidewalk.
* [[Crossover]]
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]
** The Absilin Brothers vs. anyone.
** Weather Three vs. anyone.
** {{spoiler|Florsheim vs. Devil Eye Army}}
* [[Cut Lex Luthor a Check]] -- "You oughta quit the world domination thing and open a restaraunt."
* [[Cuteness Proximity]]

* [[Cyborg]]
* [[Deathbringer the Adorable]]
* [[Dirty Old Man]]

* [[Drunk on Milk]]
* [[Emergency Impersonation]]
* [[Evil Old Folks]]

* [[Excited Episode Title]]
* [[Face Heel Turn]]
* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]
* [[Fake-Out Opening]]
** The first episode of the second season opens on the theme song of the Weather Three, Sunred's old team. It's strangely reminiscent of ''[[Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan]]'' and, of course, nothing like the actual show.
* [[Fan Service Pack]]
* [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]
* [[Floating Advice Reminder]]
* [[Freudian Trio]]
* [[Friend to All Living Things]] -- [[Gentle Giant]] Jargo the Berserker. He also speaks in [[Gratuitous English]].
** About that "berserker" thing: it turns out his vicious reputation is actually due to confusion with a different monster called Jango.
* [[Friendly Enemy]]
* [[Go-Karting with Bowser]]
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]
* [[Harmless Villain]]
** This is subverted half way through the first season when Sunred convinces the new villain Devil Eye that in order to become his new archenemy he has to kill his first archenemy: Vamp of Florsheim. When Kayoko learns of this, she is quick to think that Vamp and the rest of Florsheim are in danger until {{spoiler|Sunred reveals that Florsheim isn't weak; he's just much too strong for them. Cue to Armor Tiger thoroughly kicking Devil Eye and his minions' asses [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|while Vamp berates them about their manners]].}}
* [[Hero Antagonist]]
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: The only big names in the series are Kurumi Mamiya ([[Hamtaro]]) as Usacots, Hidekatsu Shibata ([[Fullmetal Alchemist|Führer King Bradley]]) as General Hengel, and Louis Yamada LIII and Higuchi-kun (a French-themed [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine|manzai duo]] called Hige Danshaku<ref>Baron Beard</ref>) as General Vamp and Mook #1. Yamada is now the bungling professor in ''[[Tensou Sentai Goseiger]]''.
* [[Hook Hand]]: General Hengel has a variation, his left hand being a huge pair of scissors. The difficulty in performing a lot of everyday tasks is highlighted a couple times.
* [[How Did That Get in There?]]? -- P-chan, when trying to show a video of Hellwolf's powers, ends up showing a "[[Porn Stash|Birds Gone Wild]]" video instead. Usa calls him out on this, and he quickly changes it.
* [[The Idiot From Osaka]]
* [[I'll Kill You!]]
* [[Image Song]] -- "Tentai Senshi Sunred no Theme", sung by the monster(s?) in the ceiling. "We're really 'that'?"
* [[In the Back]]
* [[Ineffectual Death Threat]] -- [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSAujonWr1Q&t=00m34s "Omae-tachi! Kolo-chu!"] ("Kolo-chu" is an extremely cutesy-sounding mispronunciation of the word "korosu", which means "to kill")
* [[Interspecies Romance]]
** Geddon, a monster who retired from Florsheim to raise strawberries, eventually married the daughter of the strawberry farmer he worked for.
* [[Irony]]
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]
* [[Jerkass]]
** Antkiller is also a noted dick.
* [[Kill Sat]]
* [[Killer Robot]]
{{quote|'''Sunred:''' ''I'm not going to stop until I've defeated a robot I built myself!''}}
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Sex jokes and the fact that Sunred is always pestering Kayoko for sex are downplayed in the anime, to downright non-existant. Also even with slapstick humor, Sunred often deals some brutal beatings against Florsheim's lackeys in the manga, with them coming out bloody disfigured, in the anime the beatings aren't that severe.
* [[Minion with an F In Evil]]
* [[Mooks]]
* [[Mundane Fantastic]]
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]
* [[Mysterious Past]]
* [[Name's the Same]]
* [[Nigh Invulnerable]]
* [[No Accounting for Taste]]: Sunred to Kayoko in the first 3 manga Volumes before she started to get inexplicably hotter; even when she was average (''at best'') in looks, Sunred was constantly trying to get in her pants like she was the hottest chick in town.
* [[Not So Harmless]]
* [[Nuke'Em]]
* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]
{{quote|''"What kind of wolf needs to look at a full moon to turn into another wolf?"''}}
* [[Parental Abandonment]]
* [[Poke the Poodle]]
** This describes most of the "evil" works done by the Florsheim in general.
* [[Pose of Supplication]]
* [[Progressively Prettier]]: Kayoko's beauty evolution in the manga also coincides with her character and importance growth within the series; in the begining her role wasn't clearly defined, only that Sunred lived off her was, but other characteristics such as working at an insurance firm, being on friendly terms with Vamp, getting more recurring appearances, all of this only came when Kayoko was stabilished as Sunred's pretty and independant girlfriend.
* [[Punch Clock Hero]]
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]
* [[Real Place Background]]
* [[Real Song Theme Tune]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]
* [[Sanity Ball]]
* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: A play on it, "Red-san" as many characters adress to Sunred, his name is spelled in japanese as ''Sanreddo'' or Sanred; just separate ''San'' and ''Red'', place it in reverse order, and you have Redsan, the ''Red-san''. The characters are being polite by adding the honofric and spelling his name backwards at the same time.
* [[Seinfeldian Conversation]]
** Furthermore there's Gaima's ambition, a running gag of short segments on how Gaima plans to get a dog. {{spoiler|At the end of the first season he realizes his apartment doesn't permit pets and gets a battery driven toy dog instead.}}
* [[Sentai]]
* [[Shout-Out]]
* [[Shrinking Violet]]
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]

* [[Supporting Protagonist]]
* [[Take Over the World]]
* [[Talking to Himself]]
* [[Team Mom]]
* [[Ted Baxter]]
* [[Those Two Guys]]
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]
* [[Trading Card Lame]]
* [[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty]]
* [[Tsundere]]
** When she hears about a Florsheim shark monster saving a kid from drowning, Kayoko explicitly compares it to "that 'tsundere' thing".
* [[Villain Protagonist|Villain Protagonists]]
* [[Villain with Good Publicity]]
* [[Villains Out Shopping]]
** This eventually turns into a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] when he brings Vamp and the Mooks to one of his favorite ramen restaurants and after the others say that they don't like how the ramen tastes, one of the Mooks points out that this restaurant was given high points by the blogger and that {{spoiler|everyone on the Internet thinks he has horrible taste in ramen}}.
* [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]]
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]? -- General Hengel, a leader of a branch of Florsheim, takes even the most mundane tasks on with an incredible seriousness.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]]? -- A recurring segment in the second season is "The Rules of Florsheim", where General Vamp berates his minions...on what food and home cleaning products they buy for HQ.
** On two occasions, Sunred has gotten ''very'' upset when Florsheim attacked him on New Year's
