History YMMV / WeirdSchoolRulesInHongKong

* GeniusBonus: In Episode 16, the cop that shows up to arrest the senior-year students [[DisproportionateRetribution for taking photos for too long on their last day of school]] has the police ID "[=D7689=]".

* CrossesTheLineTwice: In Episode 16, one of the skits features two of Magic Boy's classmates [[TalkingDownTheSuicidal talking him down]] while he was considering jumping off a building. That's not funny. What can be considered funny, is what happens after that: [[spoiler:Magic Boy reveals the "strict" regulation that caused him to be DrivenToSuicide is that the school was planning to make an app for the students to record how many times they raised their hands in class, the more times they raise their hands, the higher of a grade they'll get... and [[InsufferableGenius Magic Boy]] was annoyed that "idiots" like his classmates (who would raise their hands more often because they didn't understand the subject matter) [[SkewedPriorities would get a higher score than him]]. In response to being called an "idiot", the male classmate ''pushes Magic Boy off the building'', effectively helping him commit SuicideByCop, while declaring that being called an "idiot" was his (and [[AccompliceByInaction the female classmate's]]) BerserkButton. The skit ends with a dramatic cartoony crash in the distance.]]

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The episodes with Tonie hosting the series have ''significantly'' fewer Likes than those hosted by Na-mei, implying this.

** Episode 3: The crossdressing male student in the Casual Dress Day skit. Does this bring a bad reputation on the school for having a ''crossdressing'' student (especially since LGBTQ+ people are still relatively stigmatized in Hong Kong, where the skit takes place), or is the student brave and willing to speak out against the reinforced gender binary in school uniforms? This especially applies when the student states his reasoning for crossdressing--he said it's because [[LoopholeAbuse there's nothing in the school rules against it]], so whether he's doing it to prove a point, to troll others while adhering by ExactWords, or because he genuinely likes crossdressing and saw the opportunity to do so, etc. are all not stated.
