Line 23:
* [[Art Shift]]:
** During a chase scene in Episode 2, as well as a quick shift to the ED style at the beginning of the episode.
** Actually all over the place, mostly during the [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?]] sequences.
** Extremely prevalent in Episode 19's [[Once an Episode|Helvetica Standard]].
* [[Artefact of Doom]]: Mio's wood cubes ''and'' {{spoiler|Mi-chan's 'mud pie'}} (as revealed in Episode 21).
Line 36:
** Or whenever someone messes with her food.
*** Or if anyone sees her Yaoi manga drawings.
*** While she is a generally nice person, she seems to have a [[Hair -Trigger Temper|Berserk Keyboard]] with all the things that make her mad.
** Mio hits several of Yuuko's during their argument in Episode 14, [[Lampshade Hanging|signified by a switch being flipped on.]]
** Don't you dare to insinuate that robots are not cute in presence of the Professor.
Line 44:
* [[Big Red Button|Big Red Fire Alarm Button]]: Mio is [[Schmuck Bait|tempted to push it]].
* [[Big Brother Bully|Big Sister Bully]]: Mio's older sister. She even treats Nano this way when she runs into her and accidentally detaches her arm.
* [[Big "What?"]]: The NASA people in Episode 10.
** Annaka is very prone to this; "Eeeehhh?!" is practically her [[Catch Phrase]]. She even has a sort of "Big What tennis match" with Takasaki-sensei in Episode 15.
** She has another one with him in episode 17. Almost the exact same set up and punchline too.
Line 81:
* [[Cast Herd]]: While Nano is a student of the high school in the manga, in the anime the segments with her, the Professor, and Sakamoto are kept strictly separate from antics at the school until episode 14 when Nano finally starts attending.
** Finally, in Episode 16 Yuuko visits the Shinonome Lab and meets the Professor and Sakamoto. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* [[Caught With Your Pants Down]]: Nakanojo's mother walking in on him trying to make his hair flat is [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|played as if it were this trope]].
* [[Cheerful Child]]: Professor.
* [[Cherry Blossoms]]: Used to great effect at the start (and end) of the show.
Line 88:
* [[Coincidental Dodge]]: The final episode contains a scene made of these.
* [[Cloudcuckooland]]: pretty much.
** The premise of the show is basically mixing normal things turned [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?]] with very weird things turned [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]], causing the characters to have a totally inverted perception of what's supposed to be made a big deal.
* [[Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere]]: Yuko swears off doing punchlines the same day Mai cranks her set-ups [[Up to Eleven|to eleven]].
* [[Color Failure]]: Nearly everyone gets this, sometimes even combined with [[Blue With Shock]].
Line 113:
* [[Disaster Dominoes]]: When the high school trio hides out in a nearby shrine during the rain, it starts with Yuuko trying to pay a coin to the shrine, and ends with the entire place destroyed.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Mio [[Wrestler in All of Us|performs disabling wrestling moves]] on anyone who saw or was eating the manga she was drawing in episode 16, whether it's a cop, Yuuko, or a goat.
* [[Do -Anything Robot]]: Nano, [[I Just Want to Be Normal|much to her chagrin]]. She even has a ''[[Face Fault|reaction]] function''.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: The build up to [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/nichijou/v02/c025/39.html this page] is Yuuko swearing off jokes, only for Mai to dial her 'boke'ness [[Up to Eleven]]. Yuuko's reaction after letting it all out is...interesting, to say the least. Even more so in the episode this skit's featured in (17).
* [[Double Standard Abuse Female On Male]]: Sasahara gets shot repeatedly by Misato, but the damage seems minimal, including head shots.
* [[Dreadful Musician]]: Nano.
Line 123:
* [[Epic Fail]]: Jumping rope <ref>Except for Mai</ref>. Yuuko's losing her shoes in episode 14. Mio and any non-combat sport, period. Nakamura with nearly everything. Dolph killing himself.
** Also Annaka's over-sized red ribbon.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: The Professor is known only as that.
* [[Expy]]: Mai basically looks like a [[Meganekko|bespectacled]] [[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Osaka]] with a dull expression on her face.
*** Though many have also been relating [http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/914025/azumanga_daiou-bandana-black_eyes-black_hair-brown Nano's look to Osaka.]
Line 132:
* [[Evolving Credits]]: Episode 14's opening and closing credits changes {{spoiler|once Nana is allowed to go to school.}}
* [[Extreme Omni Goat]]: Kojirou (Sasahara's goat) is shown eating a piece of paper.
** He took a bite off one of Mio's drawings in Episode 16. [[One -Hit Kill|Poor, poor Kojirou]].
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: Makoto Sakurai.
* [[Eye Scream]]: Here's a useful tip: Never tease an extremely violent Tsundere when she's got two sticks of Pocky.
* [[Face Fault]]: All over the place. It's one of Nano's [[Do -Anything Robot|many functions]], even!
** "Let's go all the way to Okachimachi like this"
* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: Poor Nano.
* [[Family -Friendly Firearms]]: While the guns Misato uses are somewhat realistically displayed, they never seem to cause more harm than slight bleeding and causing characters to emit smoke.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Misato, complete with [[Hyperspace Arsenal]].
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: The four main girls at the end of the TV series. Yukko is Sanguine, Mio is choleric, Mai is melancholic, and Nano is phlegmatic.
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: This is [[Played for Laughs]], but Yuuko and Mio can shoot them if they scream in pain loud enough.
* [[The Gadfly]]: Mai. Almost makes you wonder why Yuuko and Mio are friends with her sometimes.
** Also Mio's sister.
Line 160:
*** '''GOD IS DEAD'''
*** '''Koucho (Principal) DEATH'''
*** When she is forced to wait a very long time for her order at a restaurant: "''[[Precision F -Strike|Goddamn!]]''"
*** Episode 11, ''Super Ultra Great Delicious Wonderful Yabai'' ("yabai" is Japanese for "bad"). Her attempt to catch a cold ''Come On, Come On'' too, which was especially amusing as she was trying to catch a cold in order to avoid having to take an English exam.
** Nano in Episode 6 when she's trapped a [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|cockroach]] under a bowl.
*** '''Death or Die!'''
** [[The Gadfly|Mai]] after catching a fish:
Line 193:
** With an epic story behind them. Which gets a sequel in Episode 18... {{spoiler|When we learn about where her pigtails come from.}}
*** Both of which turn out to be {{spoiler|part of a trilogy that is concluded}} in Nichijou (Uchuujin), the PSP [[Visual Novel]]. {{spoiler|Maybe.}}
* [[Hair -Trigger Temper]]: Mio. At least she's the one whose angered most easily.
** Second only to [[Tsundere|Misato]].
* [[Ham to Ham Combat]]: The Igo-soccer match between Makoto vs Takasaki-sensei
Line 210:
* [[I Just Want to Have Friends]]: Nano's main reason for her [[I Just Want to Be Normal|wanting to be normal]].
* [[Imagine Spot]]: Yuuko's in-class dreams of the Fey Kingdom. Takasaki-sensei and Mio occasionally have these with their respective love interests. Mio once even comes up with an entire romantic scene for Nano and Sasahara when Yuuko convinces her they're dating, complete with a slight [[Art Shift]].
* [[In -Series Nickname]]: "Yukko" for Yuuko.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: In one manga chapter (Episode 8 in the anime), Yukko tries to get a rise out of Mio and Mai with a series of bad Japanese puns and only gives up after they get to school with no reaction whatsoever.
** And in episode 17, Mai seems to tried and get a reaction out of Yukko. According to the latter.
Line 271:
'''Professor:''' Hakase da nyan!<br />
'''Nano:''' Moe desu! }}
** Annaka going "[[Big "What?"|Eeeeehhhh?]]" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-abIgFesWM in episode 10].
** The Professor's tantrum for shark sponge cake in episode 13.
** Episode 21 features a [[Repeat Cut]] of Takasaki-sensei giving Yuuko a light smack on the head with his class binder. As in, repeated over 50 times.
* [[Paper -Thin Disguise]]: Nano thinks she's fooled everyone into thinking she's a normal, human girl. She hasn't.
** As seen with Mio's older sister.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Seems to have happened to the Professor. Not that she minds.
Line 284:
* [[Promotion to Parent]]: Oddly enough, Nano often plays the parental role with regard to the Professor, sometimes helped (or hindered) by Sakamoto. Well, the Professor is still a little kid after all.
* [[Puni Plush]]: Also has a bit of ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]'' influence as well.
* [[Purely Aesthetic Glasses]]: Sasahara's glasses are "just for show". Misato, who accidentally broke them and thought he was [[Blind Without 'Em]], was ''not amused''.
* [[The Quiet One]]: Mai.
* [[Real Song Theme Tune]]: In its second cour, the series started using a different Japanese pop standard for its ending theme every episode.
** A portion of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_679sSiQ4dw FIFA Anthem] was played during the "10-yen Soccer" segment.
* [[Repeat Cut]]: Episode 21 feature a single shot repeated over [[Overly Long Gag|fifty times]].
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Done to Yuuko by Mio in episode 20...over [[Serious Business|drawing paper]].
* [[Ridiculously Human Robot]]/[[Robot Girl]]: Guess who.
* [[Rocket Punch]]: Nano has one. And a rocket ''toe. A USB rocket toe''.
Line 334:
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Sakurai-sensei. Except around her little brother.
** The Coffee Shop girl.
* [["Silly Me" Gesture]]: The Professor often do this when questioned by Nano about the latest weird device she has installed on her.
* [[Sistine Steal]]: Mai pulls this off on episode 4, in the ''middle of an exam'', by touching a drawn hand on a chalkboard. The manga attributes this as an homage to ''[[ET the Extraterrestrial (Film)|ET the Extraterrestrial]]''.
* [[Slapstick]]
** [[Slapstick Knows No Gender]]: Or species, for that matter (See [[Amusing Injuries]] above).
* [[Something Completely Different]]: The sketches involving the Fey Kingdom zeppelin. They're actually unusually long and elaborate [[Imagine Spot|Imagine Spots]] of Yuuko about Mio's wooden hair ties.
** One segment in Episode 8 shows the three trapped in an elevator, resigned to the fact that no one will rescue them. [[Despair Event Horizon|Their despair eventually causes them]] [[Laughing Mad|to go mad with laughter.]] {{spoiler|[[What Happened to The Mouse?|It all means absolutely nothing because two segments later they're all apparently rescued but we don't see how.]]}}
*** The way the anime portraits the trapped elevator scenario treads dangerously close to [[Nightmare Fuel]].
* [[Silence Is Golden]]: Episode 17. Card Pyramid.
Line 363:
* [[Tempting Fate]]: "I should be happy that I wasn't hit by any raw foods." Not even five seconds later...
** Mio in Episode 5: "I can't believe I drew that picture. Even though I lost control, it could have been worse." Cue naughty picture being used as part of a quiz.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Mio occasionally gets so mad at Yuuko that she rants about the stupid things the latter has done. Yuuko does it to her once in a while as well, usually in an epic, [[Ham to Ham Combat]] style.
* [[The Scapegoat]]: Hakase is almost always quick to blame Sakamoto for any misfortunes, or at the very least, try to make him a guilty party to it, such as when she knocked down the laundry line while it was raining, then trying to claim he told her to drop the clothes in the mud. Nano however, hardly ever finds him guilty of those incidents, and instead punishes the professor instead. [[Easily Forgiven|Or not...]]
* [[Third Line, Some Waiting]]: The anime is currently divided between two main plotlines and multiple minor plotlines. The stories around Mio, Yuuko, and Mai and the story at Shinonome Laboratories are presented in equal measure. The running plot about the Go-Soccer Club is presented less than a minute at a time. The teachers' romance and Misato / Sasahara also get their day, but infrequently.
** Meanwhile in the manga, there's a bit more overlap between Mio and Nano, as Nano starts out as a student in the manga -- everyone knows she's a robot, but are too polite to tell her they figured it out. This was changed for the anime in order to more [[Cast Herd|decidedly separate]] the Shinonome Laboratory skits.
* [[Third Person Person]]: The Professor.
Line 391:
** You could even call her a [[Hyperspace Arsenal|gun]][[Incredibly Lame Pun|dere]].
** Nakamura has a bit of this, given her flustered reactions whenever someone calls her cute.
* [[Two -Teacher School]]: Averted. There are lots of teachers who get the appropriate amount of attention.
* [[Uncatty Resemblance]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi2KmRU9tcU Mai's puppy] seems to be as big a troll as she is.
* [[Unsound Effect]]: '''GASCOIGNE!'''
Line 402:
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: Mio's and Yūko's screams of pain are capable of destroying roofs, skyscrapers, and ''planets.'' "Aaaah," indeed.
* [[Wham Episode]]: Ep 13. {{spoiler|Nano will go to school.}} Definitely worthy of a [[Dynamic Entry]].
* [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?]]: Everything, ever.
* [[When She Smiles]]: Mai with her usual dull, emotionless expression, becomes rather adorable the few times she smiles, or even laughs.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Nano is absolutely terrified of cockroaches and lightning.
** The Professor can't handle dogs, she even mentions it in both of her character singles.
* [[Widget Series]]
