History YMMV / NICHIJOU

* MemeticMutation: It is rather popular to photoshop other characters in the Nichijou art style.

** Nakamura-sensei's leitmotif owes a bit to the {{James Bond}} theme.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: [[IronButtMonkey Yuuko]](!!!), of all people, gets one in Episode 16 when [[spoiler: after confirming (with the Professor's help) that Nano is a robot, she tells her that "I know that you aren't a robot. Nano-chan is just Nano-chan." Not only does Yuuko make it clear that she doesn't mind that Nano is a robot and considers her a friend, but it also helps Nano to accept herself.]] A CMOH and a CMOA in a single strike: well done, Yuuko!
** And then Sakamoto accidentally talks in front of her, telling her goodnight. "Meh, whatever."
*** He talks after she's passed him. She turns around to see who did it, but he's gone, and THEN figures, "Meh, whatever." Earlier, when the Professor tells her Sakamoto can talk, Yukko things it's incredible, and in the manga, she finds it incredible even after she should be used to it.

* Main/FriendlyFandoms: The relationship between this show's fandom and ''Manga/DailyLivesOfHighSchoolBoys'''s fandom, both due to them being similar in name and due to them [[SliceOfLife sharing a genre]]. Both will argue about which show they think is better, but the arguments never get heated, and both fandoms seem to respect each other and their respective shows. If someone has only seen one show and not the other, fans will often urge them to watch the other as well.

* NightmareFuel: When Sakamoto got stuck in the superglue. Unlike the Professor and Nano, he was ''entirely engulfed''. "I might die", indeed. The same thing happens to Nakamura later on.

*** The elevator scene is incredibly, ''incredibly'' surreal. It almost seems to be a mockup of David Lynch-style surreal horror (see ''{{Rabbits}}''), what with the disjointed dialogue and strange, atonal soundtrack. The part where they start going into hysterics is the ''least'' creepy thing about it.

** Nakamura-sensei's leitmotif owes a bit to the James Bond theme.

** The scene in Episode 13 where :the Professor allows Nano to go to school is more of a Heartwarming moment, but for all the problems Nano deals with, a lot of viewers feel tears welling up.

* Centipede'sDilemma: It's established (especailly in Ep. 19) that Mio is TERRIBLE at sports and basically any physical activity. Yet, she's shown to be an excellent fighter several times, and suddenly has great reflexes, balance, etc. (for example, jumping into the air to grab her manga sheets, twisting around to land on her feet only inches from hitting the ground; or when her sister messes with her cake, and she trips down the stairs, yet manages to land gracefully). It could be that Mio is only terrible at sports and coordination *when she's thinking about it*. When she's filled with rage, she's an Olympic-level athlete because she's not thinking about what to do with her feet, she's just furious.

* NightmareFuel: When Sakamoto got stuck in the superglue. Unlike the Professor and Nano, he was ''entirely engulfed''. "I might die", indeed.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: Sasahara's UpperClassTwist tendencies, when he actually comes from a family of farmers, are because of the commonly inflated egos of Japanese land owners.

* FandomRivalry/FriendlyFandoms: The relationship between this show's fandom and ''Manga/DailyLivesOfHighSchoolBoys'''s fandom, both due to them being similar in name and due to them [[SliceOfLife sharing a genre]]. Both will argue about which show they think is better, but the arguments never get heated, and both fandoms seem to respect each other and their respective shows.

A CMOH and a CMOA in a single strike: well done, Yuuko!

* HilariousInHindsight: Three of the voice actors doing major roles in ''FateZero'' turn up within the same scene together during [[TheCameo the airship sequence]] of episode 21 as [[RedShirt a bunch of red shirts]], namely [[Creator/JojiNakata Kirei]], [[Creator/AkioOhtsuka Rider]] and [[Creator/ShowHayami Tokiomi]]. [[spoiler: The first two are killed by Mio within a minute of each other.]]

** As with ''KOn'', the use of the song "Tsubasa wo Kudasai" in one of the endings might cause MoodWhiplash for some after watching ''RebuildOfEvangelion''.

* TearJerker: In the "Small thoughts" segment of episode 10, a teacher is talking about how people respond to either praise or punishments. A girl at the distance thinks: "I react to praise... but I never am..."

* ValuesDissonance: Ep 24. The first time Sasahara talks to Mio is marked by an ImagineSpot of a bunch of Mios... [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII raising the flag on Iwo Jima?]]

* {{Moe}}: ''Absolutely freaking everyone''. At least all the girls -- although a few of the boys have their moments.
* MostAnnoyingSound: Episode 21- [[RepeatCut *smack*-EEK! *smack*-EEK! *smack*-EEK]]! It only lasts about 16 seconds, but it obtains this status after about 4.
** The scene is widely regarded as a parody of YoutubePoop and similar vids (albeit ones on Nico).

* WhenSheSmiles: Mai with her usual dull, emotionless expression, becomes rather adorable the few times she smiles, or even laughs.

** And via FridgeHorror and FanWank, [[http://green-oval.net/cgi-board.pl/a/thread/49479693 courtesy of /a/:]] Yuuko.
* {{Troll}}: Mai, of course. She even trolls Hyadain [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUgqIPKMRy8 in her character song]], by inviting him to sing the male parts before letting her time cut out in the middle of one of his lyrics.
** With no one else around, Mai will [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hKqYi2E9vY troll herself]].
