* [[The Alleged Car]]: Andi's Ford Taunus 17m in "Besser is das!" (''Normal ja!'') and ''Gekotzt wird später!''
* [[Alliterative Name]]: Werner Wernersen.
Line 42:
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Meister Röhrich.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Many.

* [[Chainsaw Good]]: Or rather the Dolmette, a bike with 24 chainsaw motors!
** In ''Gekotzt wird später!'', Andi uses a chainsaw to top chop the Oldsmobile.
* [[Cool Bike]]: Lots. The fact that Brösel is a motorcycle nut and draws extremely realistic (but often still wacky) bikes helps a lot.
** Werner's bike in the first book, ''Oder was?'', was an entirely fictional Horex Regina made up in the fashion of US choppers of the 1970s, complete with a long springer fork and Iron Cross rear-view mirrors. Werner says he rides Horex because he gets sick from riding BMW. He also has a personal dislike against Harley-davidson.

** In the second book, ''Alles klar?'', he got the same Horex Regina 400 chopper that Brösel was working on, only in the state the bike would have been in, had it ever been finished the way it was planned, including a candle as a headlight. This was also the first book in which Brösel drew Harleys for almost all the other bikers, sometimes tricked out in ludicrous ways (fuel tank that's half aquarium, sidecar made of a small wooden door, an armchair, footrests, a wheel, and an ashtray, red lantern for tail light, and so on). In one story in the fourth book, ''Eiskalt!'', it was equipped with gimmicks such as the Wurstblinker (sausage blinker - yep, [[Exactly What It Says
** The fourth book also featured the "Red Porsche Killer", a Horex made for defeating a 1972 Porsche 911 S owned by Brösel's publisher and "manager" Holgi in a race. Four (!) Horex Regina 400 engines totally rebuilt out of aluminum and stroked from 400ccm to 610ccm each were built into a dragster frame painted metalflake pink. The "Red Porsche Killer" was built in real life and actually ran two races against said Porsche.
** After years of riding Horex, Werner decided to build his very own motorbike in the late 90s. The heart of this machine was a 1000ccm (61cui) single which gave it the name "[[Punny Name|Satte Literschüssel]]"; when it was built for real, it turned out this behemoth had a displacement of 1444ccm (88cui), still in one cylinder only. The motor was so big that it became a supporting part of the frame. Other features included a fork mostly made of wood and a shovel blade for a seat.
Line 65:
* [[The Danza]]: Andi, brother of Werner / his creator Rötger Feldmann
* [[Defictionalization]]: The beer Werner drinks, some of the vehicles, and the Horex vs. Porsche race.
* [[Distracted
* [[Dumb Blonde]]: Günter Günzelsen's first wife, featured in ''Ouhauerha!'' and ''Das muss kesseln!''
* [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Executive Meddling]]: The title of the sixth book, ''Besser is das!'', had to be censored after the first edition because the Flensburger brewery understood it as comparative advertising in favor of Werner's recently launched own beer brand, "Bölkstoff". Werner had been drinking Flensburger beer all the time before, in fact, he was the reason behind the immense increase in popularity for the small brewery near the Danish border in the 1980s.
** Likewise, merch with the "Red Porsche Killer" on it had to be censored upon "request" by Porsche. Also, the book ''Das Rennen'' names it "Red XXXXXX Killer".
* [[Fan Service]]: [[Averted Trope|Averted]]. Werner is a typical guys' comic, but considering that, it contains very few beautiful women. As said: He can't draw them.
* [[Flanderization]]: Meister Röhrich just was a bit peculiar at the beginning, but later he reached [[The Ditz]] levels of stupidity. (The funny work-related accidents he went through during the series may have helped, though)
* [[Four
* [[Funetik Aksent]]: All dialects in the comics are written the way they're pronounced. And there are a lot of dialect speakers.
* [[German Dialects]]: various northern ones feature prominently (makes sense, the comic is set in the northernmost part of Germany)
* [[Hair
* [[Henpecked Husband]]: Herr Hüpenbecker.
* [[Horny Vikings]]: The actor in the Faxe beer TV commercial gone wrong around the end of "Sektenquatsch und Eiermatsch" in the book ''Alles klar?''
* [[Hospital Hottie]]: Brösel's nurse in ''Beinhart!''. Averted by the pesky nurses in ''Wer sonst?'', though.
* [[
* [[Inherently Funny Words]]: Schnüffelstück
* [[Just for Pun]]: The jokes with bears (Bärenwitze) and grebes (Taucherwitze) are just a few of many examples.
* [[Literal
** Happens in a lot of shorter stories as well.

** In another story, Werner manages to modify a hapless biker's Honda CX 500 (nicknamed "Slurry Pump" in German) so that the liquid cooling system actually pumps slurry.
Line 98:
** Methanol has the same effect on internal combustion engines in the world of Werner.
* [[Only Six Faces]]: Brösel once revealed in an interview that his characters are mostly based on a very few faces with a very few variations.
* [[Pointy
* [[Punny Name]]: Fräulein Vondeblotz (see [[Dumb Blonde]]), a German spoonerism for "blonde c**t"
* [[The Red Stapler]]: Werner popularized Flensburger Pilsener beer, formerly known in and around Flensburg only, all over Germany.
* [[Repeat After Me]]: Hörni and Kalli are pretty drunk.

Kalli: Something.
Hörni: You shan't say "something", you shall say something. }}
* [[Serious Business]]: Brewing beer, tuning bikes
* [[Shout
** The ''[[
* [[The Slacker]]: Werner and his friends (except for when they're brewing beer or tuning bikes, then they're very industrious)
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Often at the climax of the story.
