History WesternAnimation / AsterixAndTheBigFight

* AdaptationAmalgamation: The bulk of the story is based on ''Asterix and the Soothsayer'', and the subplot with Getafix losing his mind comes from the film's namesake album, ''Asterix and the Big Fight'' (albeit without the album's duel between the two Gaulish chieftains).

* RandomEffectSpell: Due to Getafix using random ingredients as his insanity goes, the poor Roman legionary who's used as guinea pig for the potions experiences various effects. In order: spitting fire and having a dragon tail growing, being propelled around, turning into a human jackhammer, turning into a fireball with police siren sounds, being shattered in little cubes, turning into a savage lion, [[InflatingBodyGag inflating like a giant balloon]], [[IncredibleShrinkingMan shrinking to the point earthworms are giants for him]]...

* EmbarrassingNickname: Vitalstatistix's nickname, "Cochonnet" (which literally translates as "Piglet"), which his wife Impedimenta starts reusing after a good luck prediction by Prolix (she hasn't used it since they were young and married). Cue Asterix and Obelix laughing.

One day, the Roman garrison stationed around the indomitable Gaulish village decides to kidnap said village's druid, Getafix, for he is the one who makes the magic potion that grants SuperStrength to the villagers. While Asterix and Obelix are rushing to his rescue in the forest, Obelix throws a menhir (a man-made granit monolith) at the Romans, which lands on the druid and renders him amnesiac and insane. During the stormy night that follows, a strange wolf pelt-wearing man pretending to be a soothsayer comes at the village.

* ExplosiveResults: When Asterix and friends try to have a now-insane Getafix recreate the magic potion, it only manages to cause explosions, due to him using random ingredients for kicks.

* DisneyAcidSequence: The music number led by Cacofonix (who sings decently to the viewer for once, but still not for Fulliautomatix, who smashes his head with a hammer at the end). He does so [[AnachronismStew as a modern rock musician, with an electric guitar]] somehow. It's more or less supposed to be one of Getafix's {{hallucinations}}.

* MushroomSamba: After he wakes up, in addition to his amnesia, Getafix has a distorted vision of reality, which causes him to laugh endlessly.

* ReusedCharacterDesign: The Roman centurion (named Gaius Faipalgugus in French) has the same character design as Gaius Motus from ''WesternAnimation/AsterixInBritain'' while not being the same character. That character design would be reused once again in ''WesternAnimation/AsterixConquersAmerica''.
