1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The music in the series is always amazing. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo4MdBq2Y5w The Eye of Wendor]], which is played over the end credits is particularly beautiful.
2* EnsembleDarkhorse: The Narrator.
3* FridgeBrilliance: In Karl den [=XIIs=] Gamasjer, the brothers often travel back in time and return with time having passed in the present. Which seems silly, since they're time traveling, and could easily arrive seconds after they left. However, the Quantum Wheel is based on a relative view of time (AKA Napoleon is still alive, but in his relative time period), so any time they spend in the past will have to pass in the present as well.
4* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: The last episode of the second series, where the brothers hear a voice in their house and find the Narrator sitting in the closet. His expression really sells it.
5* GrowingTheBeard: The first series is still seen as a classic, but it is little more than a set of loosely-connected absurd skits that pretends to have an overarching plot. As a result of viewer reactions (younger viewers had missed that it wasn't supposed to be taken seriously and thought of it as an exciting, occasionally scary, action-adventure series), the second series onward is a lot more plot-oriented and -- while the absurdist comedy remains a huge part of the series, with tons of digressions and goofy side-plots -- a lot more effort is put into telling an actual story.
6** Ironically, Lars Mjøen/Gaus sports a beard in the first series, but in the second series and onward he's clean-shaven. So the series Grew The Beard, but he shaved his off.
7* ParodySue: The nephews and niece, being beautiful young people, kinda forced into the story, they are not very funny either.
8* RecycledPremise: ''Spektralsteinene'': Time travel. ''Karl XII's gamasjer?'' Time travel. ''Vikingsverdets forbannelse?'' TIME TRAVEL! (And each instance even has a different time machine and slightly different premises for how the time travel works.)
9** It's to parody ''Series/DoctorWho'' although most Norwegians didn't have Creator/{{BBC}} when any of the seasons or movie started making most not catch it. One can even see and [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong hear]] it in ''Vikingsverdets Forbannelse'', complete with having space travel and aliens in ''Spektralsteinene''.
10* TheScrappy: Like so many CousinOliver characters, the nephews and niece aren't very popular with the fans. While their inclusion seems to be parly because KLM themselves were getting a little old to do a lot of physical comedy anymore and they needed some younger major characters to run around and do the pratfalls, the problem is that they just aren't very funny.
