* AesopAmnesia: Predictably, given that most of the characters are 13 years old. While most episodes contain AnAesop the kids usually forget it, often within the same episode. Lampshaded by Lola in ''Rankings:''

* AnAesop: Despite the raunchy nature of the show, it does still try to teach sincere lessons about puberty and be sex-positive, such as...
** Puberty is a scary, frustrating and difficult time of your life that will affect the dynamic of you and your friends, but everyone goes through it.
** There's no rule book or set of standards regarding relationships. Don't let peer pressure determine how you want to be in a relationship with another person.
** Don't be afraid of your body.
** Never, ever ''ever'' force someone into having sexual relations with you, especially if they outright tell you no.
** As Maurice tells Nick, you shouldn't be in a rush to grow up. You'll go through puberty when the time comes, but you have to be patient with your body.
** Sexuality is a spectrum. It's better to know who you're attracted to than what label to give yourself.
** Knowing who you are and being unashamed of it is ultimately healthier than forcing yourself into the role society expects of you.
** Just because you're attracted to someone doesn't mean they're obligated to feel the same, and they have every right to cut you out of their life entirerly if you won't take no for an answer.
** You're responsible for your own actions, [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse no matter what personal problems you might be dealing with.]] If all you ever put out into the world is negativity, don't be surprised when that's all you get back.
** You're never actually finished growing up, and you, both in body and mind, will be going through changes for the your whole life. Things like figuring out your sexuality, body changes, and menopause are still big changes that many will go through well after their teenage years.

* PeriodShaming: Jessie gets her period at summer camp, but her tampon slips out during swimming practice and is witnessed by the entire camp. The boys are revolted while the other girls delight in the fact it wasn't any of them. Jessie then spends the rest of the summer hanging out with fellow outcast Natalie.

* WrongBathroomIncident: Coach Steve has been known to walk into the women's bathroom from time to time. Not out of malice, but rather his own staggering idiocy.

* FakeGuestStar: Andrew Rannells, who plays Matthew, has appeared in every season and majority of the episodes. While his original appearances were short segments of episodes, his appearances in later seasons have become more fleshed out with his own storylines and relationships with main cast members. He appeared in every episode of Season 7 (with the exception of the episode focused on outside characters) and played a substantial role in each one. Despite this, Rannells's credit remains in the guest star slot.

* AnythingThatMoves: Maurice the Hormone Monster will stick it in anything. Even a decapitated head. At one point, he punches a hole in the wall and decides to start fucking ''that'' as well.
** Maury admiringly commented that Jay has sex with just about everything, including but not limited to his ongoing sexual relationships with a variety of different pillows and cushions in his house.



* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Crops up from time to time, but the biggest example has to be when Jay has sex with his pillow, and ''the pillow gets pregnant''.

* ShortTeensTallAdults: Played straight and justified with the main cast, who are in middle school and just starting puberty. Subverted with older teenagers such as Nick and Jay's siblings, who are just as tall as their parents.

Does Not Like Shoes has been renamed to Prefers Going Barefoot and redefined to focus on characters that explicitly or implicitly state a preference for going barefoot. Removing misuse and ZCE. Maurice is just barefoot by default.


* AgonyOfTheFeet: Maurice jokingly breaks a glass while shouting "Mazel tov!" when he tells Andrew that he'll be a man after watching a porno with his friends. Because he didn't wrap it in a napkin (and [[DoesNotLikeShoes doesn't wear shoes]]) it hurts quite a lot.

** When Jay tries fingering Lola, his first attempt is compared to ''Film/{{Godzilla}}'' just blundering in and destroying everything in the process. His second attempt, following Lola's guidance, features the Knights of St. Joseph (representing Lola's pubic hair) at the drawbridge representing her genitals. They are a reference to the French knights in ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail''.

* RuderAndCruder: Compared to Andrew Goldberg's [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy previous show]], this show makes ''Family Guy'' look like ''Series/SesameStreet'' by comparison. We've got stuff like jizz-covered crackers, talking vaginas, penis-worms and even a DisneyAcidSequence that has a deer-like creature covered in shit, birds with ''singing assholes'' and a squirrel that has ''assholes for eyes''.

* AdultsAreUseless: Not all the time, but some of the wackier antics that the Bridgeton Middle School kids get into would be shot down just from mentioning them by any responsible real-life adult. Lampshaded in "Rankings" at Devin and Devon's child wedding when Lars - the minister - says they're there because "No adult has stopped them". This is given a lot more focus in season 6 when Nick and Andrew have to fix their families problems [[spoiler:after swapping bodies with Marty and Nick's grandpa.]]
