* Dismotivation: In the early days of the comic, Jokke was so chronically work-shy that even ComicStrip/AndyCapp would've thought he ought to be ashamed of himself. One of the strip's [[RunningJoke running jokes]] was that Jokke would repeatedly be required by the welfare administration to accept some of the temp jobs given to him, or he'd lose his welfare money. Jokke would then proceed to get fired as soon as possible, usually by showing up for work in an outrageous costume, or, failing that, by insulting the customers. It went so far that when the welfare administration began calling his bluff, he came prepared; when he was assigned to a job where the work foreman was wise to his tricks, [[CrazyPrepared Jokke had already spent his last welfare money hiring a private investigator to dig up some dirt on the foreman]], forcing him to let him go.

Added DiffLines:

** Jokke's yellow shirt. This is justified in-universe by him having bought several crates of the same shirt at a factory outlet years ago.
** Jokke bought a bath robe for his mom when he was a kid. She told him she loved it, and would wear it always. Turns out she actually meant it!

* TheUnsmile: In one strip, an enormous biker at the bar angrily shows that a tattoo artist for some reason decided to [[TooDumbToLive write "Born To be Gay" on his chest tattoo]], and that the man is currently in a coma from what the biker did in return. Cue both Pondus and Jokke making hilariously frozen unsmiles to avoid further enraging the biker by laughing at him.
--> '''Biker''': What's wrong with your faces?!
--> '''Jokke''': Uh, we're brothers with the same genetic defect!
--> '''Pondus''': That's right bro, better go buy some medicine!
