[[FridgeLogic which makes just about as much sense as a movie that shows a character dying and]] ''[[FridgeLogic then]]'' [[FridgeLogic presents him as having done evil things beforehand]].

* {{Eagleland}}: ''The USA'' shows the boorish flavour all the way. Seeing how Deary likes to pull any culture he happens to be focusing on to pieces, this is not surprising.

* JustForPun: If this book series could be summed up in two tropes, it would be this and WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids. Just to give you an idea, from the book ''Frightful First World War'':
** "Tanks!" "You're welcome."
** "*Cough splutter*" "What's wrong?" "I'm a little horse."
** "The French are bleeding us of every penny." "So it's sort of a Bled & Breakfast, huh?"
** "Sweet..." "Sweet and sour..." "Sweet and sour fried lice."
** "[Kaiser Wilhelm] especially liked to strip the barks off [trees]. So you could say he was barking mad."
