1* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Too many to count. Forget big-lipped alligator ''moment'', this is a big-lipped alligator '''show'''.
2* CrazyIsCool:
3** Pretty much everything Freddie and Gorilla do.
4** Mechazawa from time to time - especially when he gets turned into a motorcycle.
5* FriendlyFandoms: With Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure, especially [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Diamond is Unbreakable]] since both take place at a fictional high school and have a lot of wacky hijinks.
6* GeniusBonus: When Mechazawa is feeling depressed over a girl and expresses he wants to start over, the book he is reading is by Goethe (the author of ''Literature/TheSorrowsOfYoungWerther'').
7* HilariousInHindsight: In the manga, there's a story that focuses on Ara-chan, a white seal that the characters found in the Arakawa river. The author included Ara in the strip [[RealLifeWritesThePlot because he felt disgust over]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tama-chan Tama-chan's story]]... and found it amusing to hear that a real seal was found in Arakawa later.
8* MemeticMutation:
9** It's become a running joke that every time anything Mechazawa related appears, people will post comments jokingly expressing confusion about there being something peculiar about that delinquent...
10** Let's <<insert random action here>>! <<Do random action here>> Oh my God... THIS IS A NON-SEQUITUR!
11** Viewers/readers talking about the song the delinquents were humming to, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymE4EDvSKbk which is from this]].
12** The image from the opening of the gang confidently striding along as nothing can stop them.
13* MoralEventHorizon: Before the series proper, Kamiyama did something unbelievably ''evil'' involving dominoes, stunning even his hard-assed new classmates. [[ShoutOut Read the manga to find out what!]]\
14Those who have the manga know that [[spoiler:in Junior High, Kamiyama was enlisted along with other students to assemble dominoes in a World Record-breaking event. After a month's work, however, Kamiyama got irritated enough that he decided to ruin the event! How? The record broken was 37,041 dominoes toppled. [[EvilIsPetty Kamiyama glued the 37,042nd domino to the ground so it wouldn't fall over]].]] Cue [[EvenEvilHasStandards stunned hard-assed classmates]].
15* {{Padding}}: Whenever Kamiyama is confronted by authority while riding [[spoiler:motorbike Mechazawa]], there is a montage of moments from the current and previous episodes. The background music is awesome but it still looks like you're waiting for the punchline -- which is odd considering all episodes are around 12 minutes, rounding up and including intro and outro music.
16* PlayAlongMeme: Mechazawa is very obviously a TinCanRobot in a school uniform, yet other characters treat him as if he's just a normal high school boy. Fans often follow this, by saying that there's nothing weird when a picture of Mechazawa is posted.
17* SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing: This is the rare anime series where the GagDub approach in the English version works ''perfectly'', tweaking some jokes [[{{Woolseyism}} for an American audience]] but retaining every bit of the original dialogue's non-sequitur-strewn absurdity. Plus, ''every single actor'' reads the absurd lines [[TheComicallySerious as seriously as possible]], and it's hilarious.
18* ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs: Like ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' that's in an All Boy's School on even more crack. LOTS of crack. And GAR!!
