* ManlyFacialHair: Due to the simple and heavily stylized art of the series most adult men (and older teens) are visually distinguished by their large manly mustaches and beards. This even carries over to some of the monsters that appear with both devils and dragons having big bushy mustaches to highlight their violent and ruthless natures.
Added DiffLines:
* TalkingAnimal: Many of the tales feature this in one form or another. Sometimes its justified by some kind of magic either giving the animal the power to speak or a regular person the ability to understand it. Other times its just treated as a completely natural thing with humans and animals both being able to understand each other perfectly.

* BigBrotherBully: Regularly goes hand in hand with YoungestChildWins in many of the tales. If a group of siblings aren't working together towards a common goal or interest you can bet that the older siblings will serve as either TheRival or an antagonist to the younger ones. There are even stories where the older siblings straight up ''murder'' their young sibling for some petty reason or another, though viewers can expect things to ultimately be set right by the end.
* BigRedDevil: Most of the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin devils]] and similar supernatural entities take the form of red humanoid men with the classic demonic characteristics. A few of the "dragons" that appear also share a lot of similarities to this trope as well.

* FallenPrincess: A quite literal version of this trope happens in "The Salt Princess" where a king asks his young daughters to tell him how much they love him to decide their inheritance. When the titular princess replies that she loves her father as much as the people love salt he perceives it as an insult rather than a compliment and banishes her from the kingdom. Fortunately for her a young prince soon finds her in the woods, takes her as his wife and invites her father over to show him the grave mistake he had made.
Added DiffLines:
* ImpossibleTask: The various kings seem to be pretty fond of giving these out to test their subjects, including the legendary King Matthias Corvinus himself. Usually, this is done for the sake of either trapping their subject or finding out if they're worthy to receive a reward such as their daughter's hand in marriage or a kingdom to rule over.
Added DiffLines:
* RagsToRiches: Even if a protagonist doesn't become king or get to marry a princess there's still a pretty high chance of them walking away from the story with at least a good bit of wealth, treasure or a magical item for their trouble. This is an especially common outcome for poor peasant/farmer types.

* OffWithHisHead: A fairly common occurrence when the protagonist has to deal with a dangerous supernatural entity or monster, though this fate has also happened to regular human beings as well. There are even some cases of heads being ''split in half.''

* PlantPerson: The rose bush in "Green Peter" transforms into a more humanoid form when the titular hero gives her some water to keep her from withering away. This proves to be a very wise decision on his part as she is the one to save him from being found by the princess later in the story via hiding him inside herself and temporarily blinding the princess with her light.
Added DiffLines:
* TakenForGranite: Many of the characters end up getting turned to stone through various means in several of the stories. Usually, they do something stupid to deserve it such as offending a magical entity.

''Köcsög'' traditionally means jug or pot and is used in the story to denote the hero's diminutive size. But the word is more commonly used as a homophobic slur or a rude synonym of "jerk". The narrator doubling down on calling him a "little ''köcsög''" in a cheeky tone brings this close to an intentional example. The English dub of course stays clear of all this.
