Line #34 YMMV/DailyLivesOfHighSchoolBoys


1	* EnsembleDarkhorse:
2	** Karasawa, the Literature Girl, Ringo-chan, Habara[[spoiler:/Archdemon]] and NAGO. Several popularity polls in, and Karasawa and Habara in particular seem to have ''permanently'' occupied [[http://i.imgur.com/pLvWR.jpgoccupied some of the top places]], coming in (as of the [[http://i.imgur.com/m06yK.jpg March 2012 poll]]) in 1st and 2nd place, respectively.
3	** Despite Tadakuni on the receiving end of a seriously OutOfFocus treatment after the first volume of the manga and the fifth episode of the anime, his position in the polls (third place twice in a row)--far beyond Hidenori and Yoshitake--officially makes him one.
4	* FanNickname :
5	** [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Gilgamesh]] for Yoshitake, on account of his blonde, slicked-back hair.
6	** ''[[{{Manga/Nichijou}} Nichi]][[DistaffCounterpart bros]]'', for the entire series.
7	** "The Three Baka," Japanese nickname for the main trio.
8	** "Stoner-kun" for one of the students.
9	* FriendlyFandoms: The relationship between this show's fandom and ''Manga/{{Nichijou}}'''s fandom, both due to them being similar in name and due to them [[SliceOfLife sharing a genre]]. Both will argue about which show they think is better, but the arguments never get heated, and both fandoms seem to respect each other and their respective shows. If someone has only seen one show and not the other, fans will often urge them to watch the other as well. Later fans of girl-focused series like ''Manga/AsobiAsobase'' (which shares crass humor and slapstick) and ''Manga/WastefulDaysOfHighSchoolGirls'' would also become fans of ''Danshi Koukousei''.
10	* HilariousInHindsight:
11	** In ''High School Boys and Ghost Stories 2'', Tadakuni tells a story about seeing what's under Karasawa's hat and only says it's hilarious, setting up a chase scene after Karasawa to take his hat, and Tadakuni saying in the background he made it up. Fast-forward to a few chapters[=/=]episodes later where Karasawa shows he ''does'' have something under his hat, namely, a scar from his confrontation against the Archdemon.
12	** If [[Creator/MiyuIrino Tadakuni]], [[Creator/TomokazuSugita Hidenori]] and [[Creator/KenichiSuzumura Yoshitake]] are role playing any games in the Creator/SquareEnix library (most likely ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'') in "High School Boys and Morning Journey", then the segment turns hilarious come ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyType0'' where Eight, King and Jack are voiced by them. And what's more, [[Creator/YuukiKaji Megane]], [[Creator/AmiKoshimizu Yoshitake's Sis]] and [[Creator/TakahiroSakurai Yuusuke Tabata]] joined the fray as Ace, Queen and Kurasame.
13	*** And that Demon Lord Jack that Hidenori brought up? Sugita later lent his voice to ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder's'' demonic final boss of the ''Observer in the Timeless Temple'' saga, Goetia.
14	** One chapter involved the boys discussing if there were series about [[SpearCounterpart Magical Boys]]. The 2015 anime ''Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubLove'' runs on the exact same premise -- and directed by ''Daily Lives'''s Shinji Takamatsu, no less.
15	* HoYay: Hidenori and Yoshitake has been prominent, due to their MistakenForGay moment, and then there is ''High School Boys and Annoyances''...
16	** During " High School Boys and Dropkicks", Hidenori encounters a girl, Emi who kicks him because she mistook him for a friend she knew, and the aforementioned friend (Kiyohiro) who befriends Hidenori ''instantly'' after Hidenori tells him to give her payback for all the times she's kicked him. They then proceed to spend nearly ''the entire summer'' together. There's even a LampshadeHanging from Emi herself and the ''opening credits of the anime episode the skit was featured in'', questioning if this was "boy meets boy".[[note]]The show said yes, but it wasn't ''[[BoysLove that]]'' kind of show.[[/note]]
17	** And of course, there was the infamous "High School Boys and Skirts" segment, where both Yoshitake and Hidenori admit that Tadakuni looks good in a skirt and proceed to have him put in his sister's clothing.
18	* MemeticMutation:
19	** Would you forgive Habara?
20	*** [[GratuitousEnglish NO.]]
21	*** Shut the fuck up, Habara.
22	** "Oh, so it was a joke." ''Saying this, she casually threw aside a large rock.'' [[note]]From one of the "High School Girls are Funky" segments, this scene is used on Website/{{Tumblr}} whenever something that appears to be crossing the MoralEventHorizon is actually NotWhatItLooksLike.[[/note]]
23	* {{Shipping}}: If after the [[WordOfGod author's]] comment that the series is strictly a comedy with [[NoHuggingNoKissing No Hugging and No Kissing]], you'd expect that something like this wouldn't happen, you thought '''wrong'''. Indeed, there are several fan-favorites just from the anime alone, including but not limited to:
24	** [[LargeHam Hidenori]] and [[WrongGenreSavvy Literature Girl]],
25	** [[TheDitz Ringo]] and [[{{Bishonen}} the Student Council President]],
26	** [[TheStoic Karasawa]] and [[RetiredOutlaw Habara]] (or [[LittleMissBadass Tadakuni's sister Mei]] if you prefer),
27	** [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Tadakuni and Nago-san]]
28	** ... And those are just the ''heterosexual'' pairings.
29	*** Hilariously all the pairings listed above (save for Karasawa) were featured in the Episode 12 skit ''High School Boys and ...'' only to be sunk quicker than the ''Titanic'' due to [[spoiler:the skit itself being AllJustADream]].
30	** As the homosexual ships are concerned:
31	*** All possible seme/uke combinations of the main trio are being shipped. Of course, since Tadakuni is an AttractiveBentGender, he's more likely to be the {{uke}}.
32	*** Motoharu and Karasawa
33	* SignatureScene:
34	** More like "Signature Skit", but when most people think back to this series, they think of "High School Boys and Skirts".
35	** To a lesser extent, there's also the first Literature Girl skit ("High School Boy and Literary Girl").
36	* UnpopularPopularCharacter: The trio from ''High School Girls Are Funky'' are [[NoFourthWall desperately try to become appealing characters to branch off into their own show,]] only to inevitably fail in the process. Outside of the series, they are extremely popular characters.
37	* VanillaProtagonist: Tadakuni is a GenericGuy with no backstory and has fewer relationships with other characters than his two friends Hidenori and Yoshitake. Tadakuni's suffers from being OutOfFocus, with no presence in some episodes and many chapters. His status is often lampshaded. He's OutOfFocus after the ''first volume'' and Episode 5, making him somewhat like an EnsembleDarkHorse.
