History YMMV / AKBingo

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:

** The first ''Manga/DetectiveConan'' live-action movie has ''Oguri'' Shun playing Kudo Shinichi. In the 2018 Halloween episodes, ''Oguri'' Yui cosplayed as Conan.

* ValuesDissonance: {{Blackface}} has been employed a few times in earlier episodes, although when the segment is shown again years later, they remark that it is no longer acceptable even in Japan. A ''muchaburi'' in episode 108 involves the controversial (and potentially deadly) practice of eating freshly chopped tentacles of a live octopus, known as ''san-nakji'', and the chef is shown chopping the tentacles on camera for Sashihara Rino to eat.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: In episode 211, Minegishi Minami describes herself as a "middle manager type" senior, who helps juniors build relationship with the high-profile and seemingly unapproachable seniors. Indeed, she was regarded as a mentor figure to many juniors and encouraged them to shine over the years despite her AttentionWhore persona, especially after she became captain of Team 4, and is beloved by most members and fans alike even though nobody has forgotten her infamous scandal (which ironically turned her into a ''very'' high-profile figure, although in an undesirable manner).

** In 2020, Shimazaki Haruka tries a face-matching app on her [=YouTube=] channel which finds that the male actor she most resembles is [[Creator/MasatoSakai Sakai Masato]], whose titular character in ''Dr. Rintaro, Psychiatrist'' she parodied as Dr. Parutaro years earlier.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Since it is only broadcast in Japan, overseas fans rely on fansubbed bootlegs to enjoy the show. Averted in 2020 for some Southeast Asian countries when the Gem TV Asia cable channel started rerunning the show.

** In episode 136, Shinoda Mariko conceded a point when Maeda Atsuko asks "Since i lived in a clean house, i would not let the dirty Kojima Haruna enter" in shoujiki shougi. Much to Kojiharu chagrin. Years later, Mariko and Kojiharu makes a video for their [=YouTube=] content, in Mariko's house no less.

** Yahagi Moeka has said that she's friendly to Kashiwagi Yuki and other seniors because she couldn't know when they would graduate or pass away. As it turned out, Moechan graduated in 2020, while Yukirin was still on track to fulfill her promise of remaining an idol until she's 30.

** When the applications photo for the 1st generation was showed in episode 91, Kiyoto commented on Takahashi Minami's photo that she looks like "The mother of a big family". Fast forward a few years later and she was appointed as the Sōkantoku,[[note]]General Manager[[/note]] which essentially made her the [[TeamMom mother]] of Music/AKB48 Group.

** In episode 374, Music/NGT48's Yamaguchi Maho's palm reading indicates that she's a lewd woman prone to having affairs. Three years later in 2019, she revealed that ''she'' was assaulted in front of her apartment by several men implied to be the secret boyfriends of ''other NGT members'', after which she criticized the management for enabling the incident by their lax enforcement of the [[ContractualPurity dating ban]].[[note]]Her apartment floor was reserved for NGT members and should have been off-limits to non-NGT members and staff. According to one theory, the men were there because they were allegedly hanging out at their girlfriends' place and were asked to invite her to join in; Mahohon was understandably alarmed upon being approached by two unknown men and tried to call for help, which was why they freaked out and tried to subdue her. On the other hand, the management maintained that the men were there by their own accord and no other members were involved.[[/note]]

** In episode 253, Takahashi Juri is struck down by Music/HKT48's Tanaka Natsumi's trash talk saying Juri has no popularity. The next year, she started becoming a regular selection for the singles, and three years later in 2016, Juri entered the elected Senbatsu and has been in it every year since. She also achieved moderate popularity in Korea in 2018 thanks to her participation in ''Series/Produce48'', and would graduate from AKB in 2019 to make her K-pop debut.

* MemeticMutation: Clips of the Iki-Sumo ''muchaburi'', where a cooked cicada or cricket is put in a horizontal glass tube and two girls blow into opposite ends of the tube to push the bug into each other's mouths, have circulated worldwide as yet another example of Japanese game show insanity; this fact has even been acknowledged with pride in the show. They also mentioned that some media outlets misidentified the insect as a [[CreepyCockroach cockroach]], which of course made it even {{Squick}}ier than it really was (cicadas and grasshoppers are normal food in many parts of Asia).

* ArchiveBinge: It has 522 episodes (excluding the two predecessors) as of 2018 and is still going strong. Those watching on video sharing services might find it hard to stop.

** In episode 266, Maeda Ami comments that Okada Nana is so serious it's bad for her body. In mid-2016, 3 years after that episode was aired, Naachan had to take a 3-week hiatus due to stress, and later confessed that she had suffered from hypoglycemia and bulimia since late 2015.[[note]]As of 2018, she is the captain of [=STU48=], placed 5th in the elections, released a photobook, and has centered a major single, so things have been going better for her.[[/note]]

*** An aftermath of this incident is that the Senbatsu Election would not be held in 2019. In episode 508, which discusses the members who ranked out in the 2018 election, Kotoge of the comedy duo Viking predicted that those members [[ExactWords would not be there]] in future ranked-out episodes.
