* ThatPoorCat: At one point in the TV series, Longfinger is sitting at a table at the inn with Rosa, and rather nervously takes off his [[NiceHat hat]] and throws it off-screen. Apparently it knocks over a stack of dishes, because the next we hear is the sound of dishes breaking and a cat yowling.

Nice Hat is no longer a trope


* NiceHat: As is expected of a pirate captain, Captain Sabertooth has a really magnificent one. Longfinger, being the first mate, also has a very nice-looking hat. The rest of the pirates have to make due with head-scarfs.

* PunnyName: Though too subtle for children to pick up on, at least Norwegian ones, "Pinky" is "the world's smallest/youngest pirate". Longfinger, for his part, is named for [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar the middle finger]].

* BroadStrokes: The franchise's general attitude towards continuity. The TV series is nominally a prelude to the stage plays, but there are several continuity errors between them, and who knows where the 2014 movie fits in. The stage plays can usually be placed into a continuity, except for ''The Hunt for the Magic Diamond,'' which only kindasorta fits in after three revisions that were so thorough that it's almost three separate plays, and even then you have to squint to make it fit (mostly due to the fact that Pinky all of a sudden has a little brother who's not so much as mentioned in the other plays). The animated movies have their own continuity.

* {{Expy}}: Happy Jack, the replacement cook and ultimate antagonist from ''Captain Sabertooth and Gory Gabriel's Treasure'' is a slightly toned-down, less complex [[Literature/TreasureIsland Long John Silver]]. To really drive home the point, his Norwegian voice-actor in the animated movie is the same guy who played the cyborg Long John Silver in the Norwegian dub of ''WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet.''
* EyepatchOfPower: Completely averted with Wally and Wimp, who both have eyepatches but are still bumbling and unthreatening comedy relief.

protagonist is genuine, with Happy Jack [[FauxAffalyEvil everything is an act]]. He makes like he's a friend to Pinky, but when it comes down to it he couldn't care less about him -- and where Long John really does need a crutch because he only has one leg, Happy Jack's legs are actually perfectly healthy and he only uses the crutch to make himself seem more harmless.

* TheOtherDarrin: Given that the main stories are told as theatrical plays, all the major characters have had their actor swapped out at least once. Captain Sabertooth himself is currently on his third actor.
