Line 22:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Up your nose with a rubber hose" (everyone), "Hi, there" (Washington), "Heyyyy Misssster Kotttaire!" (Washington),"What?" "Where?" (Barbarino), "I'm so confused!" (Barbarino), "Ohhh ohh ohh ohh!" (Horshack), "Very impressive, Mr Kotter!" (Horshack)
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Everyone had their moments, but Horshack is ''the'' definitive example.
* [[Dean Bitterman]]: Mr. Woodman
* [[End-of-Episode Silliness]]: Formerly the [[Trope Namer]] when it was called "Uncle Herbie".
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
* [[Furry Fandom]]: In one episode Kotter wears a chicken suit in a restaurant to raise extra money for emergency dental work
* [[G-Rated Drug]]: In the episode "What Goes Up ... ", Freddie becomes addicted to painkillers (to heal a basketball injury); a naive Horshack takes Freddie at his word that said pills are "vitamins," while the others are well-aware that Freddie is becoming dependent on them.
* [[Lottery Ticket]]: In one episode Kotter chips in a quarter for the Sweathogs weekly lottery ticket when one of them comes up short. When the ticket then wins, the Sweathogs try to just give Kotter back his 25 cents instead of a share of the winnings.
* [[The Merch]]: Several novel sized paperback with original stories, a comic book, a lunchbox, a "Welcome Back, Kotter" [[Board Games|board game]], and Sweathog action figures with a classroom play area.
* [[Nobody Touches the Hair]]: Barbarino is like this.
Line 47 ⟶ 40:

* [[The Pete Best]]: Rosalie "Hotsie" Totsie, the female Sweathog.
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: One two-part episode had Kotter trying to start a stand up career.
* [[Real Song Theme Tune]]
Line 53 ⟶ 45:
** Julie's infamous tuna cassarole.
* [[Signature Laugh]]: Horshack's athsmatic laugh.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: Beau De Lebarre as Vinnie's replacement
* [[Translation Matchmaking]]: In Italy it's known as ''I Ragazzi del Sabato Sera'' (''Saturday Night Guys''), after ''[[Saturday Night Fever]]''.
* [[Twofer Token Minority]]: Puerto
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Gabe and Julie, though Gabe is more plain/quirky-looking than ugly.
* [[Very Special Episode]]: "What Goes Up," the Season 3 episode where Boom Boom got addicted to painkillers to heal a basketball injury. Boom Boom is in deep denial, and so is a shaken Horshack -– who naively believes Boom Boom's explanation that the pills are "vitamins." The others aren't so fooled and eventually get Boom Boom to realize what he's doing.
* [[Yiddish as a Second Language]]: Kotter—a classic New York Jew—occasionally threw out the odd Yiddish word, although far less often than one might expect. And Epstein completely averted this trope, embracing his Puerto Rican side almost to the exclusion of his Jewish heritage.
