11	!!''Otaku Dad'' provides examples of:
12	%% * AltText
13	* AuthorAvatar: Ronnie Filyaw appears as Filway-San the Japanese language teacher.
14	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Ash is nice, friendly, and quiet. He's the perfect tenant and the best guy you'll ever meet. However, he's also a brutal fighter capable of not only mentally torturing his opponents, but also ripping open a punching bag with one punch.
15	-->'''Hana:''' ''[thinking]'' Am I stronger than a punching bag? Maybe.
16	* BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite being immature and obsessed with Anime it's revealed that Jack manages to turn a profit running the school.
17	%% * DeathGlare: Hana gives Jack one right before he suggests [[GenderBlenderName Kelly]] a magical girl anime to watch.
18	* EmbarrassingRelativeTeacher: Hana is super embarrassed for anyone to know her dad's the principal.
19	* ExpelledFromEveryOtherSchool: Ash has been kicked out of four other schools for fighting.
20	* GenderBlenderName: Ashley and his father Kelly.
21	* GotVolunteered: Jack and Ronnie nominate Ash, the only other member of the anime club, as president. Hana steps in and joins the club, nominates her father, and quits as soon as everyone votes for him.
22	* GratuitousJapanese: Unsurprisingly, Jack is fond of using this, including giving all of the students Japanese names, and using UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics in English. He eventually grows out of it by the end.
23	* ImportantHaircut: Hana cuts her dad's ponytail off before his date with Miss Mayfield. [[spoiler:Turns out Maggie actually liked his old hair.]]
24	->'''Jack:''' Can you at least cut it like Manga/{{Naruto}}'s?
25	->'''Hana:''' I have scissors near your neck.
26	* INeedToGoIronMyDog: Miss Mayfield plans to [[LoveConfession ask Jack out]], but she hears him say "love you" to someone on the phone when she steps into his office. She quickly makes up an reason she's there.
27	->'''Miss Mayfield:''' Ah! I just wanted... I need you to sign... this half-eaten tuna sandwich.
28	* InSeriesNickname:
29	** Ashley is dubbed Ash by Hana, so he would stop feeling bad about his name.
30	** Ashley is also called [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Satoshi]] by Jack and Ronnie.
31	* {{Itasha}}: Jack puts MagicalGirl decals on his father's corvette, which he swears peel right off.
32	* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Jack is this to his father. While his father is a down to earth businessman jack is an Anime obsessed man-child with eccentric habits.
33	* MinorLivingAlone: Deliberately invoked for Hana due to her fathers belief that the Heroine always lives alone. Somewhat subverted as her father lives in the apartment next door.
34	* MissingMom: Hana's mother is mentioned only once before the end, where it's revealed [[spoiler:that she split up with Jack, only to later leave their daughter with him.]]
35	* OccidentalOtaku: Jack most certainly is, obsessed with JapaneseMediaTropes and making his daughter's life conform to anime cliches.
36	* OnlySaneEmployee: Downplayed. Frankie and Maggie are normal people compared to Ronnie and Jack, but the four of them seem to be the only staff.
37	* PuttingThePalInPrincipal: Jack tries to be like this, but he mostly comes off as a loser ManChild.
38	* SchoolFestival: Invoked by Jack, as "the most important event of every slice-of-life anime that has ever existed".
39	* ShipperOnDeck: Vice Principal Frankie is supportive of Jack and Miss Mayfield getting together, and gives Jack a push in the right direction.
