* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The 'Miss Brighteyes' musical number at the end of Awkward 3. It could be removed entirely without impacting the rest of the series... But it is [[RuleOfFunny fucking hilarious]].
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: [[spoiler:Lester and Alex making up and Alex standing up to Jermaine]] in Awkward 6. Awwwww.
* {{Moe}}: Kevin is dangerously close. The DoggedNiceGuy thing helps.
* NarmCharm: Lester's M&Ms speech and Kevin's 'I like weird' bit edge into corny, but they're all the sweeter for it.
* OneSceneWonder: Alex's unnamed blind date, who threatens him in Korean and beats the snot out of him.
* {{Squick}}:
** Alex claims to have seasoned Lester's popcorn with [[spoiler:his own semen]]. He claims to be joking, but with Alex it's hard to tell...
** The second season trailer reveals Kevin is squicked by sex with zombies, while Lester and Alex are squicked by sex with someone covered in leeches.

** Season 4 saw creator Creator/LaurenIungerich quit the show and the existing writing staff either quit as well or were fired due to the network wanting a fresh start, the show being retooled into a much more melodramatic, unrealistic high school soap opera with the introduction of Amber, and Ming being written off the show as her actress decided to also quit the show.

* BetterOnDVD:
** The first two series only have 12 twenty minute episodes each, making it possible to binge watch Season 1, where the impact of Jenna's not-suicide, and then Season 2 with the fallout from her discovery of who wrote the letter. The two series could be watched quite leisurely over the course of a weekend.
** Seasons 3 & 4 are 20 episodes each with at least one double episode and Season 5 is 24. That change drags the pacing of the show's storylines, making them harder to watch in a single sitting. Season 3 also has a radical change in Jenna's behaviour, which can be hard to watch for viewers who were used to seeing her as a good person trying to be better.



* SeasonalRot: Set in starting Season 4, since creator Creator/LaurenIungerich left the show. Many argue that it began in season 3, when Collin was introduced and Jenna become extremely UnintentionallyUnsympathetic.

** Matty telling off Eva in the mid-season premiere of Season 4.
