In episode 6 of Busou Shoujo Machiavellism at about 17:15, there is a scene
where Nomura sneaks into a girl's room and finds a toothbrush.

He gets excited and starts brushing his teeth with it. The side character hits
him and says "Is now the time for this?"

Is this a common joke or prank as an anime trope? Or was there a more
significant plot point that I am missing?

Attached below is a screen shot of the scene for easier reference:

Toothbrush joke?


Probably is a reference to the [monogatari toothbrush
scene](https://vimeo.com/45930726).
