** The book ''Einer wie ich'' contains homages to Werner by numerous other comic artists such as Uli Stein or Harm Bengen.
** Brösel showed that he can imitate other artists' styles when he celebrated Creator/WilhelmBusch's 150th birthday with a homage to ''Literature/MaxAndMoritz'' at the end of ''Alles klar?''. It's basically about an anniversary event which even Busch himself finds boring, so he and Werner let most of the cast of ''Max and Moritz'' out of the book and loose upon those who made the event so dull. The drawings are Brösel's own style except for the characters from ''Max und Moritz'' for whom Brösel emulated Busch's style, but like Busch's "proto-comics", the story is written in verse plus illustrations instead of being a regular comic.
** Brösel also contributed to the second ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'' homage issue, not by drawing an ''Asterix'' story ''Werner''-style, but by creating a crossover with an ancient take on ''Werner'' that also pokes fun at the UsefulNotes/FormulaOne. Needless to say that he emulated Albert Uderzo's style for all ''Asterix'' characters.

* AxCrazy: Biernot, Hans Leise's neighbor in "10000 Watt in der Stadt" (''Was soll der Quatsch?''), uses an axe with a ginormous blade in a fit of rage to shut down the former's new home stereo.
* BedlamHouse: "Zur fröhlichen Drehtür" (''Was soll der Quatsch?'') gives this trope a modern spin. The titular institution outwardly looks like and is marketed as a ginormous HospitalParadiso for curing mental illnesses. Actually, however, it serves to bring all those who aren't in line with "normal" society, government and industry ([[NoMedicationForMe especially the pharma industry]]) [[BroughtDownToNormal down to normal]] with happy pills, electric shocks, chemical food (for vegetarians) and such.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Naturally a recurring theme in ''Werner''. A few examples:
** It's impressive how much damage Röhrich can cause with his Hanomag, slow as it is.
** Werner and Winni on their way to (and into) the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt in Flensburg. (''Oder was?'')
** The drunk cops in "Werner macht die Grünen blau". (''Oder was?'')
** Werner's own driving in the main story in ''Was soll der Quatsch?'' is so wild that his hitch-hiking passenger Karl-Hugo [[MustHaveNicotine has to smoke three cigarettes at once]]. It doesn't help that Werner is driving an open convertible through pouring rain. The car is filled to the brim with water.
** Werner at the helm of the Oldsmobile in "Besser is das!" (''Normal ja!''): First he plays around with the power seats and the power windows instead of paying attention to the road, hitting a guard rail. The car is patched up the same night by him and Andi. Then, while testing at which speed the car begins to emit any noises into the interior, they slam into a VW Golf convertible and push it all the way to the Swiss border, grinding up its lower side (the Olds is so huge that Werner and Andi can't even see the Golf ahead of them).
** All the bikers in the title sequence of ''Beinhart!''
** Both Werner and Andi with the ''Metülisator'' and Nobelschröder with his Blower Bentley in the main story in ''Wer bremst, hat Angst!''
* DrugsAreBad: Many of the stories compiled in ''Was soll der Quatsch?'' are about how both drugs and addictions of all kind are bad. This includes the main story in which a character named Karl-Hugo is sent to a hospital by [[MyBelovedSmother his mother]] and put on medication just because he doesn't want to watch TV. His mother herself is absolutely addicted to PrimeTime TV[[note]]which has to say something in a time when Germany only had three stations with some six or seven hours of air time per day each; at the same time, it was perfectly normal[[/note]] and thinks she's the normal one.
* DrunkDriver: Happens less frequently than you may think.
** Everybody except Werner in "Ordnung muß sein!" (''Oder was?'')
** In "Werner macht die Grünen blau" (''Oder was?''), Werner tricks two cops who are after his driver's license into ingesting a whole lot of alcohol. He doesn't abstain himself, but it takes a whole lot to get him drunk, and he doesn't drink nearly as much as the cops. As he leaves the bar, they try to give chase. HilarityEnsues.
** Nobelschröder in ''Das muß kesseln!'' under the influence of methyl alcohol. Before he even gets back to driving his Blower Bentley, [[VomitIndiscretionShot he fills it to the brim with barf]].
