* LoopholeAbuse: When they're "screaming across the sea" at people to give back what they're owed, the girls take aim at Russia, North Korea and China, before shouting, from their theatre in Chiba, ''across the Bay of Tokyo'', at the National Diet, to "give us our money back!"

* TheFakeCutie: Kigu often acts cute and expresses interest in cute things since that's what the other girls expect of her. However, her inner thoughts show that she isn't naturally like this and it's all a front; for example, when she gushes about how cute pandas are, she thinks to herself that she doesn't actually like pandas and finds their eyes creepy.

* WidgetSeries: ''The'' textbook example. Cute girls doing cute things is a Widget in itself, but the fact that they are ''rakugo'' performers --a classical form of comedy pretty much no one under 40 watches, ''even in Japan''-- takes it to a whole new height.



* WordSaladLyrics: The lyrics in the first part of the ending don't really mean anything outside of the puns.

Added DiffLines:

** When the girls discuss whether they are cat- or dog-people, Gan compares the "sounds" for both. Gan is a shamisen player, which are traditionally made out of either dog-skin or cat-skin (with dogs being used for beginner instruments and cats being used for higher end versions). This is also echoed briefly in the opening theme song, where there is a brief shot of all the girls cuddling dogs... and Gan playing her shamisen while a large dog licks her face.

* BookEnds: A few.
** The first and last episodes have nearly identical discussions of the questionable wisdom of taking such a dialogue-heavy manga and turning it into an anime.

Added DiffLines:

** When the girls have to give a group announcement, with each of them taking turns, Marii is only ever given the last syllable.
** "Stop asking such dull and boring questions!!"
