History ComicBook / Werner

* CoolCar: The Metülisator, a car with a radial engine from a WorldWarTwo warbird(!) running on methyl alcohol.

* GermanDialects: Various northern ones feature prominently (makes sense, the comic is set in the northernmost part of Germany) After the first movie appeared and Werner for the first time became popular in the whole of Germany many people from the south of Germany thought the language was made up just for the movie and [[RealityIsUnrealistic nobody would really speak like that]].

* TheBeautifulGame: Not quite that beautiful. The unvoluntary "soccer games" in ''Wer sonst?''/''Beinhart!'' and ''Volle Latte!''/''Gekotzt wird später!'' both follow this principle: Werner tosses a soccer ball into the middle of a crowded place (a market square and a camping lot respectively) and comments on the ensuing chaos like a sports reporter.

* {{Reconstruction}}: ''Werner - Volle Latte'' is nothing but. It starts out with Werner chewing out Brösel for everything that went wrong with the comic over the years, from the squeaky-clean art-style to Werner's commercialization. All of it presented in glorious greyscale (with a bit of SpotOfColor).

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: Prior to the Race, an issue of the ''Newspaper/{{Bild}}'' reported about the upcoming event, including a picture of the [[CoolBike Red Porsche Killer]] with the life-sized wooden Werner sitting on it and its maker Ölfuß standing next to it. ''Bild'' not only misspelled Brösel's real name wrong and reduced the Red Porsche Killer's value to one quarter, but they claimed that it was red (it's actually metallic pink, the photographer should know) and even that it was Brösel himself with a Werner mask sitting on the bike (when it was absolutely obvious that it wasn't a human at all; at least the FourFingeredHands should have been a dead giveaway).
** Brösel's reaction came at the very beginning of the documentary book ''Das Rennen'': He re-wrote the entire newspaper article and deliberately [[UpToEleven turned everything wrong that could be turned wrong]].

* AuthorAvatar: Some believed that Werner and Brösel are the same person. In fact, however, Brösel's AuthorAvatar has been a Werner look-alike with glasses in the first few books. Around the time when ''Beinhart!'' was produced with Brösel starring as himself in the live-action parts, he drew a more faithful comic version of himself that also appears in later books.

* CrossOver: Dex & Dogfort appear in ''Volle Latte!'', drawn by Jörg Reymann himself. In retour, Werner appears in the third Dex & Dogfort book, ''Schlachthofgiganten''.

* {{Cult}}: The Bhagwan sect in ''Sektenquatsch und Eiermatsch''. In the course of this story, former Bhagwan followers even start a new cult around Werner who manages to send the whole bunch to Tibet to find Master [[SdrawkcabName Renrew]].

** In another story, Werner manages to modify a hapless biker's Honda CX 500 (nicknamed "Slurry Pump"/"Güllepumpe" in German) so that the liquid cooling system actually pumps slurry.

* MediumAwareness: Schinderwerner (''Wer sonst?'') who tears up book pages and stains them with ink.

* StuffBlowingUp: Often at the climax of the story.

* ToiletHumor

** [[{{Asterix}} A black guy who can't pronounce the letter "R"]] selling seafood.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Some of the story titles. Especially funny with LiteralMinded stories.

* TheMovie: Five so far. The first one was a mixture of animation and real movie, all the other ones are pure animation

** Methanol has the same effect on internal combustion engines in the world of Werner.

--> Black guy: "F'esh fish! C'awfish! C'abs!"
--> White guy: "Caps? Give me one!"
--> (He gets one crab and puts it on his head. {{Beat}}.)
--> Black guy: "He'e, take a lobste' c'ab, dose a'e bigge'!"

* InherentlyFunnyWords: Schnüffelstück

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Meister Röhrich, after the one or other explosion

* RightBehindMe: Werner and his buddy make silly rhymes like: "The idiot, the idiot / wore a sweater that was red". Of course, TheBrute who wears a red sweater sits behind Werner and proceeds to beat out his lights. While making a rhyme himself. Note: The original comic was b/w, so Brösel had to scribble "RED" all over the sweater instead.

* TheDanza: Andi, brother of Werner / his creator Rötger Feldmann
* {{Defictionalization}}: The beer Werner drinks, some of the vehicles, and the Horex vs. Porsche race.

* ExecutiveMeddling: The title of the sixth book, ''Besser is das!'', had to be censored after the first edition because the Flensburger brewery understood it as comparative advertising in favor of Werner's recently launched own beer brand, "Bölkstoff". Werner had been drinking Flensburger beer all the time before, in fact, he was the reason behind the immense increase in popularity for the small brewery near the Danish border in the 1980s.
** Likewise, merch with the "Red Porsche Killer" on it had to be censored upon "request" by Porsche. Also, the book ''Das Rennen'' names it "Red XXXXXX Killer".

* TheRedStapler: Werner popularized Flensburger Pilsener beer, formerly known in and around Flensburg only, all over Germany.

* TalkingToHimself: Andi (the real one) speaks the characters of Andi, Röhrich and other ones

* WriteWhoYouKnow: Many characters in the first few books are real-life acquaintances of Brösel or his brother Andi. Most of them haven't even been renamed. In the early books Meister Röhrich had the name of his reallife counterpart, but he sued against it, so the name was changed to Röhrich.

** In the story about Creator/WilhelmBusch's 150th birthday at the end of ''Alles klar?'', Werner and Wilhelm Busch let loose his characters from ''MaxUndMoritz'' because they find the celebration boring.

* GuiltyPleasures: After Werner provoked a all-out brawl on a bazar by throwing a soccer ball and commented the brawl, pretending it to be a soccer match, he said the following after the "match":

* ThoseTwoGuys: The policemen Bruno (the fat one) and Helmut (the long, thin, stupid one)

* GuiltyPleasures: After Werner provoked a all-out brawl on a bazar by throwing a soccer ball and commented the brawl pretending it to be a soccer match, he said the following after the "match":

* PunnyName: Fräulein Vondeblotz (see DumbBlonde), a German spoonerism for "blonde c**t"

** Werner's bike in the first book, ''Oder was?'', was an entirely fictional Horex Regina made up in the fashion of US choppers of the 1970s, complete with a long springer fork and Iron Cross rear-view mirrors. Werner says he rides Horex because he gets sick from riding [=BMW=]. He also has a personal dislike against Harley-Davidson.

** The fourth book also featured the "Red Porsche Killer", a Horex made for defeating a 1972 Porsche 911 S owned by Brösel's publisher and "manager" Holgi in a race. Four (!) Horex Regina 400 engines totally rebuilt out of aluminum and stroked from 400ccm to 610ccm each were built into a dragster frame painted metalflake pink. The "Red Porsche Killer" was built in real life and actually ran two races against said Porsche.

* ShoutOut: [[{{Asterix}} A black guy who can't pronounce the letter "R"?]]

* VanityLicensePlate: Non-vanity real-life license plates are a minority in ''Werner''.

* {{Cult}}: The Bhagwan sect in ''Sektenquatsch und Eiermatsch''. In the course of this story, former Baghwan followers even start a new cult around Werner who manages to send the whole bunch to Tibet to find Master [[SdrawkcabName Renrew]].

* JustForPun: The jokes with bears (Bärenwitze) and grebes (Taucherwitze) are just a few of many examples.

** The ''Film/{{ET|The Extraterrestrial}}'' "phone home" parody in ''Wer sonst?''

* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: The unnamed old lady who provides Werner and his buddies the opportunity to brew their own beer; Werner's grandma from the movie

* BrandX: Played straight by fictional brands such as Coma Pils and parody brands like Happlage & Schnappe or Kastrat. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with most brand names, though, particularly vehicle brands and models, both existing and defunct (Horex, Harley-Davidson, Lanz, Hanomag, Bentley, Honda, Allgeier...), and beer brands (Flensburger, Faxe, shoving a bottle of Beck's into the fourth wall).

* ChainsawGood: Or rather the Dolmette, a bike with 24 chainsaw motors!
** In ''Gekotzt wird später!'', Andi uses a chainsaw to top chop the Oldsmobile.

Werner says he rides Horex because he gets sick from riding [=BMW=]. He also has a personal dislike against Harley-davidson.

* FanService: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. Werner is a typical guys' comic, but considering that, it contains very few beautiful women. As said: He can't draw them.

* HairTriggerTemper: The "Präsi" (president) of the local biker club.

* VomitIndiscretionShot: Pretty much standard

** After years of riding Horex, Werner decided to build his very own motorbike in the late 90s. The heart of this machine was a 1000ccm (61cui) single which gave it the name "[[PunnyName Satte Literschüssel]]"; when it was built for real, it turned out this behemoth had a displacement of 1444ccm (88cui), still in one cylinder only. The motor was so big that it became a supporting part of the frame. Other features included a fork mostly made of wood and a shovel blade for a seat. The Name "Satte Literschüssel" is also a play of words with "Sattelitenschüssel" Whis is a common word for Sattelite Dish.
