* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Dolf, both times that he tries to become president of Great Waterland. The second time is especially egregious considering he staged what amounted to a fascist coup the first time.
* VillainHasAPoint: While Dolf's campaign to take over the leadership of the Great Waterland is done out of his own ambitions rather than real concern for the country, leading Alfred and Henk not to trust him, he's correct to say that King Ferdinand is not taking his political responsibility seriously enough and no-one's doing enough to rectify the growing unemployment. Similar to how Adolf Hitler gained power, Dolf wins the people's initial trust by offering employment and seemingly doing actively something to stabilize the country. After Dolf has driven King Ferdinand away, the king acknowledges that his irresponsibility contributed to Dolf's uprising. Also, Dolf's claim of the monarchy being outdated gains weight during the second season when King Ferdinand decides to change the Great Waterland from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy with a democratically elected president (which is ironically something Dolf predicted would happen long before his coup d'état).

* AdultdAreMoreAnthropomorphic: PlayedWith; Dolf goes from a Funny Animal with almost human-like anatomy but with no clothes (as a child), to a still unclothed and anthropomorphic but decidedly more crow-like appearance with visible tail and wings -that are always clearly wings while everybody else's wings turn into hands when convenient- and ability to fly when many other bird characters can't or won't (as a teen), back to Funny Animal / Fully Dressed Cartoon Animal (as an adult).
