Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Bert's parents have a number of furious argument and at some points seem to be on the verge of divorce, but they always realise at the last minute that they can't live without each other.

comment
Diaries Are Girly: In the first book, Bert thinks diaries are girly and tries to make his diary less girly by drawing a skull on it. (First he tried drawing a brain, but it ended up looking like a bunch of sausages.)

Kavorka Man: The pictures show Bert as gangly, awkward and generally goofy-looking, while showing all the girls as looking pretty stunning. He still manages to date quite a few of them.

Embarrassing First Name
 Bert Diaries / int_829b958e
comment
Embarrassing First Name: Bert is not fond of his name since it rhymes with the Swedish word for "butt." Klimpen's real name is Klas note In Swedish that's a stereotypically nerdy sort of name, about the equivalent of "Dexter". No one dares to call him that, though.

Took a Level in Jerkass: In the early books, Åke is an eccentric but good-natured wannabe Mad Scientist. Puberty hits him pretty hard, though, and he starts flying into rages at odd intervals.

Self-Serving Memory: When Bert is reconnecting with his ex Nadja, he recalls them breaking up because of her three scary older brothers. Readers may instead recall that he broke up with her because he'd fallen in love with someone else.

Art-Shifted Sequel: The art in the first book was by a different artist and had a very different style than that in the following books. The second edition added new pictures in the new style along with changes to the text.

Raging Stiffie: Bert is prone to erections at inconvenient moments. He's occasionally known in school as "the Hunchback in Notre Dame" because he's always walking bent over to try to hide one.

Real Men Love Jesus
 Bert Diaries / int_bdb5c651
comment
Real Men Love Jesus: Bert thinks he's no end of tough and cool (though whether he actually is is another story), and also considers himself a Christian (though again, his grasp on just what that means leaves a little to be desired).

Waking Non Sequitur: Twice in the comic. After being put on a diet, Bert dreams that he's become a skeleton and wakes up screaming, "only cheeseburgers can save the skeleton Bert now!" When falling asleep in church he dreams that he's a monk in the middle ages. As things heat up with his Love Interest he wakes himself up hollering, "yes, strip more! No naked nun is as sexy as you!"
