* PostKissCatatonia: After Melodrama kisses Histrionix for the first time, he's so lovestruck he topples off the rope ladder. Which is just as well, as he ends up landing on top of Codfix, who was yelling for the guards at that moment. Codfix is stunned by the blow and Histronix manages to escape back to his side of the village.
* ProducePelting: When Cleverdix and Majestix both make speeches to try and bring the other side of the village to support them, they're met with a hail of overripe tomatoes in response.

* InstantlyProvenWrong: Sort of. Histrionix looked at Asterix's village and envied that it was much more peaceful and the people living in perfect harmony... only to be greeted by a fish flying to his face and he witnessed a in-village brawl that happened ''only occasionally'' and much lighter than what his two villages experienced. It was more harmonious than his and Melodrama's villages, but ''not perfectly harmonious''.
