We would associate the term with the book, but "Quasimodo" literally means "half-formed", which isn't a polite thing to call someone by itself.

** At one point, Watt insults a Frenchman by calling him "Quasimodo." Not only was ''Literature/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' published 500 years after the movie takes place, but it takes place a solid century after the movie is set. Without that reference, calling someone Quasimodo as an insult doesn't make sense.

* InsultBackfire: Adhemar attempts to humiliate William by making him do a traditional dance of his home country. With Jocelyn's help, William improvises one, and over the course of a couple of minutes, the musical backdrop seamlessly morphs from medieval dance music into "Golden Years" by David Bowie, and everyone goes from formal dance moves to free-style disco dancing, subtly making it clear that William does indeed represent the future. The stony look on Adhemar's face of ''Well that shouldn't have happened'' is hilarious.

** Earlier, they note that he has rudimentary style, nonexistent technique, but he's fearless. Adhemar goes on to explain to Jocelyn that while the visor of a knight's helmet is small, splinters can penetrate, and most knight's raise their heads at the last second, losing sight of their target but protecting their eyes. "Ulrich" doesn't (chances are that William doesn't know to do so). Jocelyn is impressed, [[AchievementsInIgnorance because he keeps his eyes on the target]].

This would have been a problem, except that none of the other competitors did particularly well, either, so after the LoveInterest relents William is able to win despite losing his first round of jousts.
