** To be fair, [[TheTease Seccotine herself]] sometimes provoke this. Notably when she let Fantasio be mistaken on the identity of the person who wait for her in a hotel room (Champignac, but he thinks it's Zantafio.) Or posing as a flight attendant in an airport, and assuring she don't know what Fantasio he's talking about when he accuses her to be actually a reporter. Then Seccotine announces, loud enough for him to hear her, that she brought her "smallest bikini" with her.

** Fantasio's [[TheSixties 60's]] looking red bow tie and blue jacket seemed very old fashioned in the TheNewTens, explaining he arrives at the hotel in a more modern outfit. But Spirou immediately ruins it with coffee. The luxury hotel staff then lend him other clothes that are this iconic costume (presumably, they had it in their wardrobe since the last fifty years). Fantasio does not have the occasion to change clothes later, explaining his outfit.

* BondVillainStupidity: The {{Mooks}} and scientists hired by Zorglub help him to create the Zorglwaves, then spread them on the whole world while only Zorglub will be protected from the waves with a special headband. [[DidntThinkThisThrough No one see anything wrong with that]]. The only exceptions are Claude and Marie who realize what this means at the last minute, and run away, but this is futile as distance don't change anything to Zorglwaves 's influence.

* BelligerentSexualTension: Fantasio and Seccotine are in a rivalry that they present as strictly professional, but [[EveryoneCanSeeIt no one is fooled]].[[spoiler: They finally get a RelationshipUpgrade in the last scenes.]]

* ShutUpKiss: [[spoiler: In the situation described above, Fantasio start to awkwardly explain to Seccotine he did not exceed her consent, but [[KissingUnderTheInfluence they were under the influence of the waves]] when they came back to their senses. Seccotine answer is a ShutUpKiss, making clear she's not mad at him. ]]

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: After Champignac successfully manage to fix the zorglwaves, then became {{Brainwashed}} into the first zorglmen with Seccotine, Zorglub order them to walk into his LavaPit.]]

* The original authors would often use SymbolSwearing due to the heavy censorship in publications aimed at chidren then. In the movie, one scene homages this, as the insults Fantasio uses to describe his cousin are covered instead by SoundEffectBleep from the plane he's in. This does not prevent others profanities in the dialogues to be heard, though.

* AFriendInNeed: After a PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure, Spirou walks away and Fantasio protests that he won't let his friends down. [[AdaptationalJerkass Spirou]] snarks that he did not knew they were friends. However, a few scenes later, Fantasio is stuck in accidented car about to explode.
