* AdaptationDisplacement: Many people regard De Coster's heavily altered version as the "real" Till Eulenspiegel. Such people for instance criticised a comic series by West German publisher Rolf Kauka based on the German tradition for "ignoring" Till's role as an actively fighting freedom-fighter against the Spanish oppression of the Netherlands.
* OlderThanTheyThink: At least for those who [[AdaptationDisplacement hold De Coster's version to be the "true" one]]. Till Eulenspiegel lived in the 14th century and the first book recounting his adventures was published at least 15 years before the date of birth given by De Coster.
* {{Squick}}: Once he shared a meal with a peasant woman. So Till, er, "added" some of his snot to the meal - the woman lost her appetite, and he could eat all of it alone.
