-->'''Shin and Hiro:''' To be a man you must have honor! Honor and a peeeeeniiiiiiis!

-->'''Uma''': Or [[StarWars Yoda]] in a dress...

* ChristmasCake: Miss Katz's love life eventually gets the best of her as she realizes how alone she really is. After learning how much Penny's abusive father reflects her life, she states that Penny is the only person she knows who's life sucks worse than hers. She was once forced to buy a literal family-sized Christmas Cake to keep appearances.

* In 2004, Phuuz Entertainment gained the license to the series and produced a dub similar to the Vitello dub, with the intention of being a "second season" of sorts. The Phuuz dub used the same background music and localized names of its predecessor but now featured a different pool of Los Angeles-based voice actors. At least 78 episodes of the "Phuuz dub" are rumored to exist (based on the German dub which translated its scripts from the Vitello and Phuuz dubs) but no English-language segments have appeared on the Internet and it was never released on DVD.

* CastingGag: In the Funi dub, Creator/JerryJewell, best known as [[DubNameChange Jimmy Kudo]] from their short-lived dub of ''Manga/CaseClosed'', was cast as Happiness Bunny because both roles are entire voiceovers without any MouthFlaps to worry about.

* 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 [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins 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.]]

The original manga was serialized from 1990 to 2010, starting out in ''Weekly Manga Action'' and moving to ''Manga Town'' in 2000, and was compiled into 50 volumes. The anime adaptation first aired in 1992 and is still running. There have been several attempts to dub the show in English, described in the folder below.

* IllGirl: In one episode Shin meets a woman with an unspecified illness who has to fly to another country for an operation, and she implies she'll die if the operation goes wrong.

* AdultFear: Inverted in the episode Misae learns she's pregnant with Hima. After accidentally making her spit up some tomato juice, Shin becomes convinced that she is going to die as he had just seen a soap opera where the female lead coughed up blood in a similar way.

* DarkerAndEdgier: The movies in general, as they typically throw the Nohara family into a trying situation, and then mix in a liberal amount of AdultFear. The 18th movie, for example, shows that not terribly long after the present day, a [[spoiler:meteor strike wipes out Tokyo as well as a large part of Japan and severely affects the climate, forcing surviving future inhabitants to constantly wear cold-weather clothing when outdoors.]]

** To promote ''Film/GodzillaResurgence'' (titled ''Shin Gojira'' in Japan), a crossover special episode in which Shin fights the film's Godzilla aired close to the film's debut.

* GoodBehaviorPoints: An early issue has Misae devising a "Good boy" and "Bad boy" points system, on the basis that by collecting ten "Good boy" points within a week, Shin can get a Christmas present. Being Shin, however, by the end of the issue, he gets ''one'' "Good boy" point, while the "Bad boy" points leaderboard [[EpicFail ends up running out of spaces]].

* A sixth English dub is currently around the corner. Not much is known about it at the moment, other than it has a Miami-based cast and that [[https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10159147480347278&set=gm.264801822138015 it will release on Amazon Prime Video]].

* After Phuuz's license expired, {{Creator/FUNimation}} acquired the rights and their dub was approved to air on Creator/AdultSwim. This version is a considerably more profane GagDub (though it retains the original Japanese background music) and had a video and streaming-only release for a third season. As of 2020, [=FUNimation=] has removed the series from its streaming services, probably signaling the license expiring. The only legal way to get this dub now is through buying the out-of-print DVDs.

* ArtEvolution: The series has undergone a noticeable change in character designs since the anime started in 1992. The art shift is extremely noticeable in the FUNimation dub, where they don't run episodes in any particular production order. Rather, for the sake of the GagDub, they just looked through numerous episodes and chose ones they wanted to work with. Even for episodes that are aired in the order relating to the storylines (such as the Apartment or Kendo story arcs), a more primitive design comes back once in a while.

* KidsHateVegetables: One of Shin-Chan's trademark dislikes is green bell peppers, which he often tries to dispose off without his mom noticing, from holding it in his mouth and running away mid-dinner to spit them into the toilet, to pretending to keep them with plant seeds and burying them. TruthInTelevision, however -- [[https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2015/07/17/food/history-vegetable-hated-japanese-children/ bell peppers are widely-produced in Japan and frequently served to children for their nutritious value]], but most Japanese kids dislike them for their bitter taste.

* StrawmanPolitical: Georgie is a straw conservative played to a ridiculous extreme. The writing establishes him as a Republican, though few actual Republicans would agree with the borderline fascist viewpoints he holds.
