23	!!The Ludwig von 88 are tropable!
24	* BlackComedy: They do much of that, being a satirical group. The most obvious example is that they made several jokes about [[UsefulNotes/FormulaOne Ayrton Senna]]'s death.
25	* ConceptAlbum: Several albums have a distinct theme or concept. ''Sprint'' is about sports, ''Hiroshima'' is a RockOpera about the titular nuclear bombing, ''17 plombs pour péter les tubes'' is only made of weird covers and ''Prophètes et Nains de jardin'' is about celebrities.
26	* CrapsackWorld: Many songs are about this. ''L.S.D. for Ethiopie'' is sarcasm about humanitarian aid (Don't feed monkeys with peanuts, send these to Ethiopia). In ''Oh Lord'' it is mentioned that starved children in Latin America are being eaten by rats.
27	* GratuitousEnglish: In ''Oh Lord'',a song about religion, they address God as Lord, even though the rest of the song is in French.
28	** Some of their songs are in English, but they are NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent.
29	* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: ''La révolution n'est pas un dîner de gala'' is a quote from Mao Zedong specifically about this. The titular song mocks sterotypical communist propaganda about happy Chinese workers.
30	* TontoTalk: In the song ''Mon coeur s'envole'' the (native American) narrator is only speaking this way.
