Line 33:
* [[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!
Line 39:
* [[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 (Literature)|The Three Musketeers]]. However, there is the notable exception of [[Adolf Hitler]] (though he does not appear in person).
* [[HitlersHitler's Time Travel Exemption Act]]: Eh, kind of averted. In ''Spektralsteinene'', they foil Hitler's plan to use some sort of infernal machine for his evil ends. This has no negative repercussions in the future and is implied to be a devastating blow dealt to the Axis powers during the war.
* [[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 57:
* [[Scooby Doo Hoax]]: In ''Spektralsteinene''. While there was [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot|no musical maze-of-doors chase]], there was, (un)fortunately, enough eerie [[Nightmare Fuel]] to go around.
* [[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 On Polly Oliver|fall for "her"]].
* [[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 -Thin Disguise|Paper-thin Hitler disguise]], and after he leaves, rationalize that Hitler must have been wearing a fake mustache all along.
* [[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''.
