History YMMV / ArakawaUnderTheBridge

* AccidentalInnuendo: Lampshaded in the marathon episode. Shiro races out way ahead only to turn back because he's run out of ''white powder''. Kou warns him that he shouldn't say that out loud in case a policeman hears him.

* MemeticMutation: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=755BDwzxv5c Ah, I see that you're a man of culture as well.]]" [[labelnote:explanation]]A reaction image featuring a screenshot of Last Samurai, and this screencap is often accompanied by mock dialogues used to express good taste in a specific hobby or interest, and it was later snowcloned with various Anime characters which had their eyes closed while slightly looking down.[[/labelnote]]
* UnintentionalUncannyValley:

* {{Woolseyism}}: The memetic line above? The actual meaning is closer to "I see it's something you like, too".

** The drama and its movie sequel don't follow the live-action aesthethic used by Creator/StudioShaft in the anime for Hoshi or the Mayor, and the staff decided to go for make-up for the characters... but it's not a pleasant experience seeing the heavy yellow and green make-up on Takayuki Yamada and Shun Oguri's faces, respectively.

* {{Earworm}}:
** The openings and endings of ''both'' anime seasons, which have catchy beats and lyrics.
** Galileo Galilei's "Sayonara Frontier" that was used as the j-drama's musical theme, especially the chorus.

** The live-action Mayor and Hoshi who appear in episode previews. Take account they are prop masks that look as realistic versions of the characters' masks, but they don't move as their animated or drawn counterparts... making them even more creepier.

* HoYay:
** Takai is sometimes the TeamDad for Rec and the Ichinomiya company, but other times he looks like he has a serious crush on Rec. He has a ''[[{{Squick}} body pillow]]'' of him, and there are other times he acts too ''clingy''.
** Hoshi and Rec get way too invested into [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Billy's manliness]]. Heck, they aren't the only ones -- one of Billy's lackeys has a crush on him (similar to a bird's imprinting), and in his introduction, he even got jealous of Jacqueline.
** Everytime that Rec, Hoshi and Last Samurai get into their Kameari-tis "influence", with their fangirl obsession over Kameari.
** [[spoiler: Kameari seems to have connected with the Venusian ghost (a.k.a. Nino's twin) in a deep, ''deeper'' level due to their love towards nudity.]]

* {{Earworm}}: The openings and endings of ''both'' seasons.

** Takai is sometimes the TeamDad, but at other times he's got a serious crush on Kou. To put it bluntly, he has a Kou ''body pillow''.
** In episode 11 of season 2 the first part of the BeachEpisode.

** The live-action Village Chief and Hoshi who appear in episode previews. Take account they are prop masks that look as realistic versions of the characters' masks, but they don't move as their animated or drawn counterparts... making them even more creepier.

* HoYay: Takai is sometimes the TeamDad, but at other times he's got a serious crush on Kou. He has a Kou ''body pillow.''
** And it [[{{Squick}} squicks]] even the most insane of the local bridge residents who noticed.

* UncannyValley: The live-action Mayor and Hoshi who appear in episode previews. The faces are pretty realistic, which makes the fact that they don't move even creepier.
** At least the drama and follow up movie adaptations weren't exactly so 'HARD' on the costumes. Though, well, Shun Oguri (who was the Mayor)'s and Takayuki Yamada (Hoshi)'s make-up weren't that... nice to see.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: Amazoness' status is pretty unclear, given that she is very tall and the make-up she uses is... suspicious... but then again, without it, she's just a normal girl/woman.

* BaseBreaker -- Hoshi's JerkAss tendencies will make you find him either hilarious or irritating.
