* DesignatedVillain: The Romans saw a fight in the beach between Gauls and Normans, and just tried to return to the fort and avoid any problem. The new "by the rules" legionary however was more zealously antagonistic and had them return there and try to stop the fight... with the expected results.
* HilariousInHindsight: When Goudourix (Justforkix in the English translation) first spots the Normans' ship, he becomes very agitated and shouts out: "Là ! ... Là ! ... Là !" ("There! ... There! ... There!"), to which Astérix, who is facing the other way, responds with: "Is that a new Lutetian dance?" In the German translation Goudourix's words became: "Da! Da! Da!" Fast forward a few years to 1982 and a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Da_Da_Da certain hit by the group Trio]].
