Line 12:
* ''Vikingsverdets forbannelse'' (''The Curse of the Viking Sword''): Feature-length film based on recordings of an original theatrical production, cleverly edited into a feature. As Kirkvaag had died in the interim, he only interacts with the brothers via a video screen.

* [[A Day in
▲* [[A Day in The Limelight]]: ''Legenden om Atlant-is'' often focuses on the Narrator and his misadventures. Indeed, he is actually the last main character seen in the series. Of course, he remained an unseen character for the first two series, so I guess he'd earned it.
* [[Acting for Two]]: The central trio in every single installment of the series.
* [[Adventurer Archaeologist]]: But they're shown participating in any actual archaeology only once or twice.
Line 25 ⟶ 23:
* [[Bound and Gagged]]: {{spoiler|Imposter!}}Brumund in ''Atlant-is''.
* [[The Cameo]]: In total, a veritable cross-section of reputable Norwegian actors from all eras.
* [[Character Name and
* [[Cliff Hanger]]: Every episode ends with one; usually, these initially precarious situations are quickly defused as a joke when the next episode comes around.
* [[Clown Car Base]]: The brothers' tent. Is roughly the size of a two-story house, contains creature comforts such as a stove, radio and television, and it all fits in the aforementioned [[Bag of Holding]]!
Line 33 ⟶ 31:
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: ''Spektralsteinene'' is this to its immediate predecessor, containing genuinely scary instances of [[Nightmare Fuel/Brodrene Dal|nightmare fuel]], whereas the first (mostly) played instances of horror for comedy. See also [[Downer Ending]] below.
* [[Downer Ending]]: ''Spektralsteinene'' ends with the Kurium 82 smashed against the ground, ending humanity's hope for a cure for the common cold, not to mention the other efficacious properties it is implied to have possessed...
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: The Narrator, or "Fortelleren" in KLM's native Norwegian.
* [[Foregone Conclusion]]: Karl XII is killed.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: In contrast to the [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]] example below, there is a character in ''Legenden om Atlant-is'' who speaks backwards. At one point, he utters a relatively offensive term, only it's backwards!
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: Professor Ernst Muffens, conniving scoundrel though he may be, still respects the confines of a kid-friendly show and acts accordingly.
* [[Happily Married]]: Roms is this with a woman who lives in his room. For some reason, he keeps this hidden from his brothers...
* [[Historical Domain Character]]: Mostly Norwegians such as Snorri and Roald Amundsen; where international characters are concerned, they are mostly fictional ones such as [[Robin Hood]] and [[The Three Musketeers (
* [[
* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: Covering the entire pun spectrum (no pun intended), from [[Incredibly Lame Pun|groan-inducing]] to [[Stealth Pun|disarmingly covert ones]].
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: There are some rare, out-of-print LP and CD releases featuring Brødrene Dal.
Line 53 ⟶ 51:
* [[Pungeon Master]]: The Narrator concocts some truly unforgettable ones in ''Professor Drøvels hemmelighet''. Although really, most characters are guilty of this at one point or another.
* [[Punny Name]]: A staple not only of Brødrene Dal, but KLM as a whole. Notably, the brothers' names when combined with their last names are the names of Norwegian locations. This goes for their relatives, as well. In fact, the official KLM fanclub allows members to create their own fictional Dal relative.
** Although really, everything KLM ever made is rife with this. You might say it's [https://web.archive.org/web/20120621134350/http://www.klmfanklubb.com/tnavn.html one of their specialties]...
* [[Scare Chord]]: The melody snippet heard whenever the episode ends on a [[Cliff Hanger]] still strikes fear into the hearts of all who remember it: '''DUN-DUNDUN-DUN-DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN'''! (Or, alternately, '''DUNDUN-DUNDUN-DUN-DUNDUN'''.)
* [[Scooby
* [[Sketch Comedy]]: Both ''Professor Drøvel'' and ''Spektralsteinene'' frequently segue off into tangential, often absurdly unrelated sketches, while subsequent installments attempt to follow the story closer, relegating nearly completely unrelated sketches to episode beginnings (and endings).
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: The Narrator.
* [[Sweet Polly Oliver]]: Brumund disguises himself as a member of a harem in ''Spektralsteinene'', inevitably causing the sultan to [[Sweet
* [[Rule of Funny]]: And we wouldn't have it any other way.
* [[Unobtainium]]: Kurium 82.
* [[Visual Gag]]: A whole lot. Perhaps the most well-known is the sarcophagus shaped like a [[The Moomins|Moomin]]; in Norway, their name is very similar to the word for "mummy."
* [[The Guards Must Be Crazy]]: The Nazis guarding the location of Hitler's secret weapon. They are unable to see through Brumund's [[Paper
* [[The Gump]]: All three brothers are this in both series that deal with time travel. Among other things, they inspired Egyptian slaves to dig the Suez Canal...
* [[Those Two Guys]]: Muffens' henchmen Birger and Hroar from ''Legenden om Atlant-is'', as well as the two hired thugs in ''Karl XII's gamasjer''.
