* ReportsofMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: [[spoiler:The Haru that can read says this word-for-word when he returns in Episode 18.]]

* BrickJoke: A scene which was cut from episode 11 contains the punchline to the Demon!Haru RunningGag from episode 10.

* YaoiFangirl: Gou is definitely one. Her immediate reaction upon entering the Samezuka Academy swimming pool area during practice is to geek out and start shipping everyone in her head. She also writes ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' fanfiction in her spare time.
-->'''Gou:''' I ship them! ''(Random background characters)'' Them! ''(More random background characters)'' [[FoeYay They hate each other, but they also f**k each other!]]

** Nagisa [[Gaynster mostly counts]] but he does [=TiVo=] ''Series/{{Glee}}.''

*** And [=TiVos=] ''Series/{{Glee}}.''

*** And [=TiVos=]''Series/{{Glee}}.''

*** And TiVos ''Series/{{Glee}}.''

-->'''Gou:''' They hate each other, but they also f-''[[SoundEffectBleep (gull squawk)]]'' each other!

-->'''Haru''': Oh, you ''like'' that, don't you? You dirty [[SoundEffectBleep *dolphin noise*]]-ing ocean. Oh, you can't wait for me to get inside you, huh? Huh? Oh, you [[RunningGag *dolphin noise*]]-ing slut! You're so ''wet''!

** One of Haru's emergency protocols involves [[Music/WeirdAlYankovic polka renditions of Kesha songs]].

* FoeYayShipping: [[invoked]] [[InUniverse Directly referenced and stated]] when Gou ships two swimmers, and comments on how they supposedly hate each other, but also f-''([[SoundEffectBleep gull squawk]])'' each other.

* FoeYayShipping: [[invoked]] [[InUniverse Directly referenced and stated]] when Gou ships two swimmers, and comments on how they supposedly hate each other, but also f(''[[SoundEffectBleep seagull noise]]'')k each other.

* FoeYayShipping: [[invoked]] [[InUniverse Directly referenced and stated]] when Gou ships two swimmers, and comments on how they supposedly hate each other, but also f-[[SoundEffectBleep seagull noise]]-k each other.

* FoeYayShipping: [[invoked]] [[InUniverse Directly referenced and stated]] when Gou ships two swimmers, and comments on how they supposedly hate each other, but also enjoy one another.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Miho looks like a nice and harmless literature teacher, when in fact she's a full blown thug.
* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Played with in the Halloween special, between Nagisa and Makoto

* BottleEpisode: Most of episode 15 is spent in an abandoned lighthouse. Of course, this trope is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by [[MetaGuy Nagisa]], leading to a [[SeinfeldianConversation conversation about the meaning of the term]].

* CampGay: PlayedForLaughs in one instance where Rin in shown to be running, saying "You can't catch me gay thoughts!" and his thoughts reply in a camp voice "Yes we caaaaan!"

** [[spoiler: Easter Dave is ''[[Manga/{{Fairy Tail}} Makarov]]'']]

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcNwzvBWaOg&list=PLJVeF2-zu1kGQ7t7UUPwolNWiQHXQUASsv The first few scenes of this.]]

** People, usually Makoto, wondering what [[CloudCuckooLander Haru]] is thinking about, followed by an AnswerCut.

* SplitPersonality: Haruka. There are several "Haru(s)" inhabiting his psyche, each with their own unique personality and characterization. Apparently, only the main Haru can read. [[spoiler: Unfortunately he gets shot in Episode 8 and the others have to improvise.]]

** The first bonus video features Nagisa singing a Bubba Sparxxx song. The same song later appears in episode 8.

** The fact that the [[NoodleIncident kid who Nagisa drowned]] was named "Shinji" [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion can't be a coincidence]].

* SplitPersonality: Haruka. There are several "Haru(s)" inhabiting his psyche, each with their own unique personality and characterization. Apparently, only the main Haru can read. [[spoiler: Unfortunately he gets shot and the others have to improvise.]]

** And Nitori, towards Rin. He holds onto a towel, recently used by Rin, in order to make a "Rin-quilt" out of it.

* TalkingToThemself: Haru.

--> '''Demonic!Haru:''' (''deadpan'') Totally.

* TheVoiceless: Rei, at least until episode 8.

* PlotArmor: Discussed/parodied in Bonus 14, where Nagisa claims that Haru and Makoto are completely unkillable, and that he once tried to prove the point by firing a gun at them. The bullet missed, ricocheted, and smashed a glass cabinet instead.

** Also in Episode 8, Haru activates Protocol Blackbird 3-3-5, given Sparky's affinity for ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' shows. The way it is said, 3-3-5 may be a reference to ''Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger''.

* EveryoneCanSeeit: Makoto's one-sided interest in Haru is treated as this by everyone [[ObliviousToLove except Haru himself, naturally]].

An AbridgedSeries created by [[http://www.youtube.com/user/MasterYorgi Octopimp]] and written by [=SparkyTheAndroid=], ''50% OFF'' is a little different than than usual; rather than full episodes of the show, episodes of the series are three-to-five-minute shorts

* HehHehYouSaidX:

** Add Mako's "I regain consciousness, there's cops everywhere, Nagisa's covered with blood, got an ''ice-pick''..." story to this.

** Miho also seems to be getting a few of these, with the "chemistry project" mentioned in episode 5 and something involving killing a man interfering with her profits. She also seems to know who "Easter Dave" is.

** Hell, Makoto even ''admits'' his feelings for Haru directly to his face in episode 15, only for Haru to barely even notice.

->'''[[TheRival Rin]]''': You ready, Haru? Better say bye to your ''[[HoYay boyfriend]]''.
->'''[[TheHero Haru]]''': [[ShesNotMyGirlfriend He’s not my boyfriend.]] [[ComicallyMissingThePoint The pool and I are just friends.]] [[CargoShip With benefits.]]
