Line 73:
** Sallustius in Livre VI.
* [[Cool Helmet]]: [[Inverted Trope]] and parodied -- the knights avoid putting on their helmets as much as possible, because it make them look stupid (even more than usual, for some).
* [[Cool Sword]]: Excalibur, a longsword that catches [[Flaming Sword|on fire]] when wielded by a person with an exceptional destiny.
* [[The Corrupter]]: Méléagant
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Arthur; Léodagan; Loth; Séli; Galessin... To be honest, those five are just the most regular; almost every character of the series gets some snarky lines. Even Lancelot.
Line 176:
* [[Midnight Snack]]: Karadoc often sneaks to the kitchen in the middle of the night to have one.
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]
** Lancelot in-verse.
** Bohort (Bors), who was [[Mistaken for Gay|assumed]] [[Ambiguously Gay|to be gay]] by the audience until the writer [[Jossed|showed him married]] in one episode, just because he was tired of this assumption.
* [[Obnoxious In-Laws]]: Arguments between Arthur and his family-in-law are common.
Line 196:
* [[Platonic Prostitution]]: Perceval in episode "L'Habitué".
* [[Poke the Poodle]]: Bohort's "insults".
* [[Power Trio]]: The main leaders of the kingdom:
** Arthur -- Ego
** Lancelot -- Superego (sometimes replaced by Bohort)
Line 251:
* [[Serious Business]]: Father Blaise is ''not'' happy with the introduction of the tritone (a.k.a. ''diabolus in musica'') in religious music.
* [[Servile Snarker]]: Angharad
* [[Sex Is Cool]]: Completely subverted:
** The main character, Arthur, cheats so many times on his wife with numerous mistresses or one-night stands that he would be considered a lecher nowadays. Everytime his relationships are evoked, it becomes a source of comical relief or even humiliation for him or his wife. Oh, and of course, the only woman he doesn't touch at all is his wife.
** When it comes to the rest of the knights, five of them are seen with a wife throughout the show: Léodagan, who seems to be quite faithful (emphasis on the ''quite''), Bohort, who live away from his wife and took a vow of chastity, Karadoc, who considers sex to be "something necessary to make children, and that's it", Lancelot, who doesn't even know how to make love theoretically and King Loth, who never mentions his wife without the word "bitch", or other synonyms.
Line 265:
** A guy called [[Robin Hood|Robyn]], fighting for the poor...
** In Livre IV, there's an episode with a dialogue between Arthur and Lancelot copied on the one in ''[[Heat]]''.
** Venec, slave trader (among other activities), explains in an episode that he's got an Egyptian architect, and that he had to give three gladiators to get him at Glastonbury fair. Glastonbury is a town which is heavily related to the Arthurian Myths (it is supposed to be a possible location of the Isle of Avalon, and King Arthur's grave can be found in the Glastonbury Abbey).
** Two for ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay]]'': The equivalent of the inquisitor is called the Witch Hunter ("Le Répurgateur"). And one episode even mention a dungeon full of Skavens.
** In Livre V, the episode where Arthur comes back to Kaamelott is called [[The Lord of the Rings|"The Return of the King"]]...
** Actually, there is a quite a lot of episodes with a "shouting" title. Without quoting those above, we can find: "[[Angels
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Perceval and Karadoc. To the point that, in some occasions, they manage to ''brag about how they epically failed a mission as if it was a victory.''
* [[Smug Snake]]: King Loth; Léodagan
Line 300:
=== The [[Comic Book Adaptation]] provides examples of: ===
* [[Failed a Spot Check]]: Karadoc and Perceval are rather oblivious as a general rule, but in ''Le Serpent Géant du lac de l'Ombre'' ("''The Giant Snake from Shadow Lake''"), they take it to a whole new level. While rowing on the title lake in search of the [[Stock Ness Monster|eponymous giant snake]], a huge coil of said monster rises above the water behind them... and they don't notice. Then its tail strikes their boat, and they wonder if they hit a rock. Finally, a stronger tail lash capsizes their boat and sends both in the water. Their conclusion? There's no giant snake in this damn lake, they're just wasting their time.
* [[Give Chase With Angry Natives]]: In ''L'Armée du Nécromant'', Arthur and co. are climbing to the top of a mountain to defeat an evil necromancer. Along the way, they come across a gigantic [[Rodent of Unusual Size]], fortunately asleep. When things go wrong at the summit, they slide back down on improvised sleds, hurling stones at the rat as they pass. When the pursuing Necromancer arrives, the rat is awake and angry, and proceeds to eat him.
* [[Our Liches Are Different]]: The Necromancer from the first album, ''L'Armée du Nécromant'' ("''The Necromancer's Army''").
