* PlayingSick: Two sketches, "Barf in a Bag" and "Cold-n-Flu Sick Kit", depict [[ParodyCommercial Parody Commercials]] peddling products designed to help students invoke this trope. Unfortunately, if they're misused, they have the potential to make the user [[HoistByHisOwnPetard actually sick]].
--> WARNING: Swallowing Barf in a Bag may result in illness and actual barfing. If pain persists, Too Bad, maybe you should have studied for that exam in the first place.

* AllJustADream: Subverted by "Billy Blot", which revolves around its titular character constantly assuming that all of the embarassing situations he keeps finding himself in (turning up in a ridiculous costume to a supposedly "fancy dress party", getting stuck in a test he failed to study for, or [[NotWearingPantsDream finding himself at school without any pants]]), only to be tragically reminded after humilating himself further that he isn't.

* RunningGag: Pops up from time to time, the most significant one was the joke about how bad a Dim Sim smells. [[spoiler: The final sketch had everyone in Jollimont High Witness News fall unconscious because a student on vacation left a weeks old Dim Sim in his locker by accident.]]

I Ate What clean up. The trope is when a character eats something, unaware of what they are consuming, and then reacts in disgust after they find out what it is. Misuse will be deleted or moved to another trope when applicable. Administrivia.Zero Context Examples will be removed or commented out depending on the amount of context within the entry.

* ItIsPronouncedTropay: One animated sketch focused on two tomatoes arguing over the pronounciation of a word like "aluminium" or "tomatoe". The guy pronouncing the words wrong often got beat up by the other guy.
** To be fair though, [[SeparatedByACommonLanguage one of the tomatoes is American]].

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The show has snuck in references to pedophilia, rape, inversions of teen pregnancy and the abandonment of unwanted children among other things.
** One episode had a sketch focusing on "BFF weddings" where girls become real BFFs through a wedding of sorts. The end of one ceremony had a male member of the audience get up and announce that Male BFFs ceremonies have been legalised.
** One of Mia's characters (Julie Willard the School Captain) takes a jab at (then) Prime Minister Julia Gillard, and her absolute incompetence.
** Tatiana "Tats" the sailor girl runs out of food and considers catching a whale, but when faced with legal issues she says that she could say its for Scientific Research. An obvious hit at the Japanese Whalers.
** Particularly good one in a Jolimont High Witness News where Harvey Crane (Cosmo) takes the viewer into the toilet to show "parts of your body you can write answers on that examiners can't check without getting in trouble."
** The sketch where the kids tell of the parents where they are caught making out, is a reference to Teen pregnancy, with the kids giving the exact same lecturing as parents of pregnant teens would, only flipped around; "Do you know who would be looking after them, not you us!"
** And of course there's the ''title''.
