** ''[[Running Gag|An old guy]]'', who is asleep most of the time. Has to be woken by the waitress with the words, "Wake up, Grandpa. Your soup gets cold.", on which upon he wakes up, and nudges his benchmate, "Hey, that's my spot!", even when there isn't anyone sitting next to him. Crappily dubbed over by Gustl Bayrhammer (Meister Eder himself).

* The shrewd waitress in the local ''Wirtshaus (pub)''.

=== The ''Pumuckl'' series and franchise provides examples of: ===

* [[Aesop Amnesia]]: Most lessons Pumuckl learns are forgotten by the beginning of the next episode.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Oh, das reimt sich! Und was sich reimt, ist gut, haha!" (Oh, that rhymes! And anything that rhymes is good, haha!)

Line 25:

* [[I Am Not Weasel]]: He is a kobold, but definitely not a ''Heinzelmännchen'' (little people from German [[The Elves and The Cobbler|fairy tales]] who come out at night and do household work).

* [[Invisibility]]: Pumuckl is invisible, unless he gets caught by a human (which includes him getting stuck to a glue pot). The kobold laws state that Pumuckl has to stay with said human if this happens, which is how the series starts. Many stories are about Pumuckl being in danger of being seen by someone else but Eder, which would mean that he had to leave Eder.

* [[Invisible Jerkass]]: ~~Pumuckls~~ routinely uses his invisibility to play pranks and pester people, his reasoning being that petty mischief is a kobold's natural calling.

* [[Invisible Jerkass]]: Pumuckl routinely uses his invisibility to play pranks and pester people, his reasoning being that petty mischief is a kobold's natural calling.

* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Pumuckl always wears a yellow shirt and green trousers.

* [[The Movie]]: Several of them.
