* MoodWhiplash: Dr Muller makes a dramatic "they'll never take me alive" comment, turns the gun he took from Abdullah on himself - cut to Tintin looking horrified and shouting "Don't do it" - then back to Muller whose face is now covered in ink, Abdullah's gun turning out to be a realistic-looking ink pistol for one of his pranks.

* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: Badly Battered ''Kidnappers'' in this case. Dr. Müller and his men are fed up with Abdullah's pranks to the point that Müller had to persuade Abdullah to swap his sneezing powder for a pair of roller-skates, instead of threatening or punishing the little brat. In the climax, when Müller tries to take Abdullah and run away, he ends up putting itching powder on his neck, ''while he is driving'', causing their getaway car to crash and catch fire. Müller sits on the ground, completely fed up while Abdullah dances with joy.
