* AscendedMeme / PromotedFanboy - Nobody could have guessed when the comics were first published as {{doujinshi}} that they would be officially animated by Creator/KyotoAnimation with the original voice cast.

* KeepItForeign - The "Why?" -> "Naze?" line by Kyon to Ashakura in episode 7, a direct reference to the main series.
* LiteralMinded - This exchange, coupled with a bit of jerkassery:

* MandatoryLine - Yuki, Itsuki, and Mikuru don't get enough screentime and some episodes have them say just one line. Others don't have them present at all. Even Haruhi fails to appear sometimes.
* MonochromaticEyes - Churuya and Ashakura have solid black eyes.

''The Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya'' (''Suzumiya Haruhi-chan no Yūutsu'') and ''Nyoron Churuya-san'' are two gag manga spinoffs of ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'', animated and broadcast on Website/YouTube as three to five-minute shorts. Though famous for "trolling" their fanbase, Creator/KyotoAnimation was rumored to produce this series [[AuthorsSavingThrow as a way to pacify the fans]] for waiting three years for an actual second Season of ''Haruhi''!

** "[[Franchise/SailorMoon Tuxedo Beard]]" anyone? Let's not forget [[SuperSentai Supernatural Ranger Team]] was mixed in.

** Even the Goldfish have the same face.

* ButtMonkey - Churuya and Ashakura being the butt monkies is pretty much the entire point of the series.

''The Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya'' (''Suzumiya Haruhi-chan no Yūutsu'') and ''Nyoron Churuya-san'' are two gag manga spinoffs of ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'', animated and broadcast on Website/YouTube as three to five-minute shorts. Though famous for "trolling" their fanbase as of late, Kyoto Animation was rumored to produce this series [[AuthorsSavingThrow as a way to pacify the fans]] for waiting three years for an actual second Season of ''Haruhi''!

'''''The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya-chan''''' takes the characters and situations from ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'', {{chibi}}fies them, and turns the madness and comedy up to eleven while adding copious amounts of [[RuleOfCute High-Octane Cute]].

** There are frequent text boxes put onscreen at various moments to provide context or explain things that may or may not have been stated in dialogue. Some of the jokes hinge on understanding what they say, yet the English dub always leaves the text untranslated for some reason. While the show usually gives enough context that the audience can get the joke without needing to read the text boxes, some things get completely obscured because they're not translated. For example, episode 5 ends with the SOS Brigade winning their dodgeball match against the Computer Club and claiming the kappa skeleton statue they wagered. The last scene shows the Computer Club president still having it and complaining that he doesn't want it, which makes no sense if you couldn't read the text box saying that Mikuru found it too creepy and forced the SOS Brigade to give it back offscreen.

* FunSize - Everyone, since they are in chibi form most of the time, but Achakura a step [[strike:higher]] lower.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: "...and I'm Itsuki, the Crimson Super Ball. Guess why they call me that. Hollaaaa."

* {{Hatsuyume}} - The premise of Kyon's dream in episode 01, although with a twist. Koizumi is Mt. Fugi (actually just a regular mountain), Tsuruya is the hawk (or rather, a [[VisualPun crane]] with the heart of a hawk), and Nagato is an eggplant cellphone strap.
* HeroicSacrifice - Episode 24, by [[spoiler:Kimidori.]]
* IAmNotLeftHanded - Mori pulls this in episode 21 [[spoiler: during her rooftop fight with Tsuruya, by getting out of her costume]].
* IdiotHair - Much more noticeable here, always appears during Haruhi's silly moments.

** In Episode 16, when Yuki sets a sword to homing mode to cut an object in any way possible.
** Subverted when Kyon tried it and his wrists got twisted and his body got thrown around like a ragdoll, since it was the first time he had ever used a sword.

* {{Infodump}} - Parodied. When Yuki was describing a particularly nasty SealedEvilInACan, everyone else promptly announced that the explanation was too long and they couldn't understand it.
* IWasJustPassingThrough - Frequent excuse made by Arakawa and Mori whenever Itsuki calls them in for favors.
* LostInTranslation: To western audiences, Tsuruya's obsession with cranes must be a little strange because she doesn't really show it in the actual series. Her obsession with cranes is actually from her name. Her name comes from a popular chain of hotels that utilize the crane as their symbol, due to "tsuru" being the Japanese word for "crane".

Both series have now reached their conclusions, with Haruhi-chan 25 and Nyoro~n 13 being the last episodes. Both series were formerly available on [[http://www.crunchyroll.com Crunchyroll]], but their rights to the series expired, and were picked up by [[http://www.funimation.com/blog/2014/08/09/home-video-announcements-from-otakon/ Funimation]].

Bandai has licensed both series and released them on two DVD sets. ''Haruhi-chan'''s manga is licensed by Creator/YenPress.

* XMeetsY - ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' meets ''Manga/LuckyStar''.

* BoxAndStickTrap: Subverted in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vAfgbbCAGY&t=1m54s Episode 8]], Ryoko is GenreSavvy when she sees this particular trap made by Nagato. She goes directly to where "Nagato" is hiding and holding the string. Instead, [[KansasCityShuffle she finds out that it's not her, and a cage falls on her, trapping her.]]

* VocalEvolution - A version of it. Haruhi's voice is more high pitched and sounds more similar to [[LuckyStar Konata]] then her main anime counterpart.
* XMeetsY - ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' meets ''LuckyStar''.

* {{Badass}} - Tsuruya, especially in Episode 21.
** Mori even more so.

** From episode 14:

* OutOfCharacterMoment - As you listen to the full intro song, towards the end all three seyus of the girls start to loose their character voice, Mikuru going angry and Nagato losing her monotone singing, for one refrain and then jump back into character for the rest of the song.

** One to a particular [[EpilepticTrees Epileptic Tree]] - that of Kyon being the real deity in the series - in episode 1. It's even ''lampshaded''.

** Yuki's visual novel in the last episode has the same format, and much the same style, as Creator/VisualKei.

-->'''Ashakura''': Kyon, when I think about you, my heart beats so hard that I can't sleep.
-->'''Kyon''': You're going to die.
