=== Tropes Associated with Brødrene Dal: ===

* [[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:

* [[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 ~~The~~ Noun Phrase]]: Did you even read the list up there?

* [[Character Name and the Noun Phrase]]: Did you even read the list up there?

* [[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 38:

* [[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 (~~Literature~~)|The Three Musketeers]]. However, there is the notable exception of [[Adolf Hitler]] (though he does not appear in person).

However, there is the notable exception of [[Adolf Hitler]] (though he does not appear in person).

* [[Hitler'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]].

Line 58:

* [[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.
