'''Principal Ench:''' [[AccidentalMisnaming I am not a Gangster]], [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep I am the Principal]]!\\\
'''Mitzi Nohara:''' [[FirstNameUltimatum SHIN]]!!!

* LoveTriangle: Maso has a crush on Ai, who has a crush on Shin.
* MayDecemberRomance: Bitzi develops a crush on grandpa Gin.

** Mitzi giving a strike in Shin-chan's head whenever he misbehaves. Sometimes other characters do this him, as well.

** Shin-chan driving Penny's mom crazy causing her to lose her temper and have an outburst, with Penny witnessing it and crying "You're not my usual mom!". Other times she goes to the bathroom to punch a stuffed bunny, a behavior that carried over to Penny after she inherits her mother's temper.

** [[FaceOfAThug Principal Ench]] being mistaken for a boss of the Yakuza.
** Shin-chan reading in a bookstores without buying where the owner do some hillarious things to scare all the free readers off.

* SpaghettiKiss: One episode has a drunk Miss Katz seeing Shin has a handsome grown man through her beer goggles and trying to do this with him, only with pocky.

* TwoTeacherSchool: Well, Three-Teacher School, temporarily bumped to four during The Flamer's arc. When it was revealed he would be fired, the kids lampshaded the fact that Miss Katz rarely appears to teach them and suggested firing her in Flamer's place.

* UnmovingPlaid: Principal Ench's pants. The English dub added some in-jokes.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Shin-chan and Georgie. Shin loves to tease him, and Georgie wants to get away from Shin when he does, but deep down, they're the closest friends and do care for each other. Penny and Ai just as well.

* WiseBeyondTheirYears: The gang from the Kasukabe Defense Organization, except for Georgie.

** Another episode has them taking a bath together, and he mentions that "he'll get naked with her", disturbing Mitzi. Later, he starts showing unusual concern for the size of her breasts when she's older, disturbing Mitzi even further.

* ParentService: Mitzi "secretly" lusts after various {{Bishonen}} characters in Action Bastard. One episode even revolved around Mitzi's secret admiration for a [[ShowWithinAShow new show]] called ''Super Biker Ryuu'' and its title character. At the end, a newspaper had the following news: "''Super Biker Ryuu'', a favorite among housewives!" (On the Creator/AdultSwim version, the headline was, "Desperate Women, Pitiful Lives.")[[note]]Bit of truth in television: live-action superhero shows like ''Kamen Rider'' and ''Ultraman'' now hire extremely good-looking male actors to play the male characters to appeal to the mother fan-base. The kids watch for the action and the mothers watch for the male actors.[[/note]]

* The first English dub was created by Vitello Productions and Lacey Entertainment, often referred to the "Vitello dub" which adapted 52 episodes. Being marketed towards kids, the dub censored a lot of content from [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids the Japanese version]] to make it more suitable for Western Audiences. However at the same time, the dub is notable for the amount of dirtier jokes they left in from the original show, and many dirty jokes ''they actually added themselves'', as well as [[{{Woolseyism}} replacing jokes]] that most Western viewers wouldn't get with localized substitutes. This version was never aired in the US, but did air in the UK through 2002-2003 on their version of Fox Kids.

* PlotTailoredToTheParty: The 17th movie, "Howl! Kasukabe Wild Kingdom", has Shin-chan's friends turned into animal versions of themselves, and they discover that their new forms give them an edge in battle (Rabbits can hear well and kick like mofos', Armadillos can bounce around very effectively, and bats can apparently [[MakeMeWannaShout scream good]])... But Kazama-kun is turned into a penguin, and is therefore useless for the entire battle. [[spoiler:Until a crapton of water nearly drowns his friends, at which point he shows that penguins are quite fast underwater, leaving a vortex the size of a 747 in his wake.]]
