List of Gags

A lot of running gags were seen throughout each series.

## In RGJ

* Jim often licks cherries before eating them, much to the disgust of the others (Miranda included).

## In the MH franchise

* In MH, Sugar, Pudding, or Carrot Cake will often annoyingly interrupt whatever somebody is saying, much to everyone's angst. This is also the case in MHA.
* Event Horizon, in MHB and MHA, often brags about how she's better than the Divinity's successor, unaware she's actually talking about herself. On the writers' part, this was done to make it look like they're two separate people in order to avoid revealing her real identity and that they're actually the same person too quickly.
* Whenever somebody annoys him, Tep goes to a mud puddle, scoops up some mud, and flings it at whoever annoyed him.
* Ichigo often gets strawberry-related jokes and puns about her name, much to her annoyance.
* In MHA, whenever somebody gets a minor injury that can easily be treated with the Fleur Èlèmen bottle, she always starts to ask Nemu to transform so she can use her powers as a painkiller. Nemu always, however, cuts the character off mid-sentence by punching her in the face and saying "Nope, don't even ask" in a snarky tone.
* Whenever Minako has a relatively minor problem, such as somebody being sick or her wanting to know more about magic, she will usually barge into Kiseki's house and beg her to transform so she can heal the person or tell the heroes what they want to know. She always gets annoyed by this, telling them not to milk her powers like that for minor reasons (though she *does* sometimes offer them advice on magic despite not always having or knowing every answer).
* In both series, characters connected to the Èlèmen of Love (such as Ikue, Momoko, and Shitasakan-chan) are often made fun of with jokes about marriage, crushes, and romance, even though it does not necessarily have to be romantic (for example, Angel Cozy represents platonic love and enjoys spreading it to make people happy, while Shitasakan-chan platonically loves her Trainer and loves her daughters despite them often being annoying.)
	+ Whenever Ikue hears said jokes, she will mockingly make a kissy face and say "Blah, blah, blah, I don't care" in a mocking tone, much to Talia and Auriana's annoyance.

* Every time an Osoroshi is purified, Matcha or Minty will say "I feel clothing ÈlèCards comi-" and then suddenly be cut off when they abruptly sneeze out three orbs of light that turn into a set of three clothing ÈlèCards for a random character, causing all the characters to hope that it's for them and act disappointed if it's not. However, if they are feeling exceptionally happy, they can also produce them voluntarily, which is how they still create them in the epilogue (since the girls keep their powers) despite their not being any more Osoroshis.
* If a character doubts herself to the point of her ÈlèChanMirror denying her the ability to transform until her confidence comes back up, the sequence will start like normal, with her mirror opening up and revealing her reflection and saying "Kawarunrun!/Time to change!" However, once her hair is supposed to change as she spins, her hair won't change and then it will cut to her holding up her mirror while sweatdropping as nothing happens.

## In SB

* If somebody attempts to use the wrong Elemental of Harmony jewel, instead of being corrupted or being driven insane, it has a much sillier effect: if somebody tries wielding the jewel that doesn't match their personality, the gold sides will act as arms, and the jewel in the center will suddenly grow a mouth (but *only* a mouth, with no other facial features), stick its tongue out, and blow a raspberry at the incorrect wielder. This was shown when Hinoiri tried to use Cheerfulness (belonging to Hatsumi) instead of Loyalty, and when Nanette accidentally grabbed all the Elementals instead of using just Faith.
	+ This also happens in MHA.

* Nanette will often beat up Sorashi for sharing the Element of Faith and have to be stopped by Marina. She also often accuses her of being a cheap knockoff of her due to her similar (although cooler-toned) shade of purple while transformed, the same Element of Harmony, and rivaling her in magic power like Starlight Glimmer to Twilight, although it's actually coincidental on the writers' part since the creator created Sorashi and her alter ego for another project long before they ever knew of Nanette.
* Whenever some characters give their Pokémon cookies, they are usually shaped like Dream Seeds, causing the characters that transform using Dream Seeds to get pissed off at the "baked ripoffs."
* After becoming human, Niku/Nicole/Angel Surgeon will often worship Nijiko, bow down at her feet, speak extremely respectfully towards her, and regard her as a godly saint due to her being the one to grab her hand and purify her into a human in the season 2 finale, much to her annoyance. This lessens as she learns social skills, but she still habitually refers to her as "Nijiko-sama" (otherwise only used by her Pokémon) instead of "Nijiko-*san*," which is how all the heroes address each other.
	+ Before she herself is freed, Event Horizon often attempts to lure Niku back to being her co-worker, sometimes with ridiculous methods such as a "Return-to-Evil Party" complete with balloons and cake.

* Pudding will often pretend to make her Victoria Daisy and Arcturus Porter dolls kiss each other, much to the disgust of Nanette and Jim.
* Whenever Jim pulls out a gun at an inappropriate time, a character will usually yell at him something along the lines of "Put the gun AWAY!"

## In JPCA

* Jim sometimes have problems with his Humvee's engine, due to the fact said vehicle is too old and need maintenance.

## In the Super MagicLocke Collection

* In *Gaming Stars*, whether Abigail floats untransformed and then falls to the ground, she says in the English dub "Ow... Why can't I land on a marshmallow or something?"

## All franchises

* If anybody with *tsurime* eyes (such as Hinoiri, Cheren, or Nijiko) is told an obvious lie, they will give whoever told the lie an "I'm-not-buying-your-Tauroscrap" glare.
* Natalie/Rosa's laughter sometimes goes as far as Spongebob or Pinkie levels, much to the angst of Addison/Hilda.
* When a Porter with electric powers (mainly Ellie and Brianna) hugs Jim, he gets electrocuted despite having electric powers himself.
	+ Nanette breaks the 4th wall every time by saying "Hey, shouldn't Pokemon like that famous Pikachu be the one to electrocute?" This clearly references Ash's own Pikachu.
* Animal-related idioms will always be changed to the closest Pokémon equivalent, sometimes with funny results, such as "Tauroscrap" instead of "bullcrap," "the Pyroar's share" instead of "the lion's share," or "as much as a Ninja Dragonet needs a bicycle" instead of "as much as a fish needs a bicycle."
	+ Similarly, body part-related idioms said by a Pokémon, such as ones relating to hands, feet, and noses, are always replaced with the Pokémon's appropriate equivalent: for example, Fluffy says expressions like "on the other paw" and "I know (thing) like the back of my paw," Dragonet says expressions like "findy" and "I just can't put my fin on it," etc.
* Anytime two characters with the same first name meet, a fight happens, much to the dismay of whoever else is there watching the commotion.
* Whenever any of Dragonet's babies annoy her, Nanette will angrily demand that their mother spank them. This doesn't happen in MPQ/JEMA because Ninja Dragonets don't exist there, and also for Seasons 10-17 of the Pocket Monsters Arc because Queen Natasha doesn't appear much, especially as a supporting character.
* Young Pokémon characters always speak in a silly version of baby talk, consisting of ending most of their words with "eey," mispronouncing words, and using irregular plurals and past tenses with the regular form, such as "maked" and "runned" instead of "made" and "ran" or "Pikachus" and "tooths" instead of "Pikachu" and "teeth."
