* AluminumChristmasTrees: One of the books chronicling Albert's life is from "before they invented spelling". Believe it or not, prior to the spread of dictionaries and printing presses, there was no standard way to spell things. Spelling was done entirely phonetically, and two different spellings of the same word could be completely legitimate; as long as it sounded the same it was fine because most people didn't bother with literacy.

** His later transformation into a HumanoidAbomination version of Death is arguably even creepier for its understated nature, while simultaneously being ''awesome''.

* HarsherInHindsight: One throwaway line refers to a member of the Ankh-Morpork Night Watch losing his way in the Shades and calling, "Twelve o'clock and all's arrrrrgghhhh....". This was a lot funnier before ''Guards! Guards!'' humanized the Night Watch members, and the revelation in ''Discworld/MenAtArms'' that Vimes gives most of his pay to the Watch's widows and orphans turns it from a gag to one of the ''most'' Fridge Morbid moments in a Death novel: chances are, the family of the watchman in question is ''on the list'' of Vimes' beneficiaries.

** The encounter with the two thugs who mistake Mort for a wizard. They're noted to [[Discworld/TheTruth use dashes instead of swear words]], which seems like NarrativeProfanityFilter here, but as of ''Discworld/TheTruth'', that may not be the case....

* MagnificentBastard: We don't get to see him much, but it's implied that the Duke of Sto Helit is one. Certainly given that when he arranged King Olerve's assassination, Olerve can only admire the elegance of his method. Moreover, according to Keli's "life book", after murdering his way to the throne, he will become a great ruler, unite Sto Lat and Sto Helit and create a hundred years of peace and plenty. [[spoiler:Mort eventually ends up in his place and has to ensure that this will happen.]]

** Mort and Ysabell engage in apparent ShipSinking by matter-of-factly swapping insults about each other's appearances, then agreeing that they shouldn't marry, "if only for the sake of the children." Cue their daughter Susan, who's regarded as good-looking, albeit in a rather gothic, and faintly creepy, sort of way.
