* NeverMyFault: Jan Paweł MO. ''Anything'' going wrong is someone's else fault, especially when it was his own (un)doing, and he is pathologically incapable of taking blame in any form. It's hard to tell if it comes from the fact what sort of a jerk he is, how dumb he is, or both of those.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Lubopolski is not a real surname, but it sounds close enough to Lubomirski, a notorious magnate family that just kept meddling with the crown politics for well over a century, being synonymous with self-serving, PragmaticVillainy and their fair share of entitled psychos within the "familia".

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Maciej eventually warms to the various whimsical elements of the plays presented by the travelling group of actors, smiling when they rope him into their antics and goad him into doing a {{rimshot}} for a BadBadActing death.
* AllPartOfTheShow: When stoned Bohdan interrupts a theatre play and scares the hell out of everyone, Maciej interrupts and portrays it as part of the show, with the actors picking the cue and playing along.



* AsideGlance: The longer he stays in Adamczycha and the more tired he's with all the antics of the locals, the more Maciej is giving those to the camera when having to face yet another form of shit given to him by someone.

The longer he stays in Adamczycha and the more tired he's with all the antics of the locals, the more Maciej is giving those to the camera when having to face yet another form of shit given to him by someone.someone.
** The medic does it too, before explaining to Jan Paweł that having testicles is normal and not a sign of pestilence.



* ComicallyIneptHealing: The medic combines genuine anatomical knowledge and ''some'' treatments with utterly ridiculous (but period-fitting) advice in tune of "smoke more, especially in winter, to not get sick, as this warms the innards".
* TheComicallySerious: The medic, who wearingly has to explain various medical conditions.



* ParodyCommercial: The travelling troupe of actors have a side gig for advertising a diet supplement in the style of the most cliche medicine commercial and then [[TravelingSalesman selling it]] after the show. Jan Paweł buys their entire supply.



* {{Rimshot}}: The travelling troupe needs a replacement "sound engineer", so they hire Maciej. His job consists of doing rimshots whenever someone dies in their plays. He quickly gets creative with it.

* AccidentalMurder: Henryk Lubopolski gets his head blown up during a hunt. Ironically, when a BountyHunter shows up and starts sniffing, he thinks it was an "[[HuntingAccident accident]]" rather than a genuine mistake.


Added DiffLines:

* AnnoyingLaugh: Henryk Lubopolski has a particularly piercing NoblewomansLaugh. Keep in mind that he's a guy.

* BlatantLies: An entire series of those is used as a blatantly forged "Letter from the Kang" to justify increasing serfdom from four days to five.


Added DiffLines:

* TheDungAges: Played with. Adamczycha looks like a pig sty... because Jan Paweł is terrible at managing it or organising any kind of reconstruction from wars that ended ''a decade prior''.
* TheDandy: Unlike every other nobleman, Henryk is following French fashion, and thus hinges on DudeLooksLikeALady territory.
* DemocracyIsFlawed: Or rather, the style of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth noble's republic is ''deeply'' flawed with its voting system, as a single vote against a motion is enough to prevent its passage, until the person voting against is convinced otherwise. The system is portrayed in all of its "glory" - with Andrzej intentionally preventing a reform he doesn't even understand just to ''spite his neighbour''.


Added DiffLines:

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Jan Paweł is utterly incapable to grasp how and why [[SitcomArchNemesis Andrzej]] is so successful - ''even when Andrzej is willing to explain''. It's not helping matters that Jan Paweł is a dolt.


Added DiffLines:

* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Aniela is a young ProperLady, but at the same time she's also RichKidTurnedSocialActivist, which in the given setting makes her willingly participate in various physical tasks and labours and generally be heard, rather than merely seen.


Added DiffLines:

* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: When Jan Paweł proposes Henryk Lubopolski a hunt in the local woods, without betting an eye, Henry asks if they can hunt some humans. [[EveryoneHasStandards When Jan Paweł gets startled]] by such a suggestion, Henryk starts laughing and [[JustJokingJustification says he was just kidding]].


Added DiffLines:

* ImpoverishedPatrician: Bohdan is a 6th-generation nobleman with nothing but his title and a lean horse.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: A running theme with the male side of the Adamczewski family (and Bohdan, who's a brother-in-law) is that they are all complete morons, but it doesn't stop them in the slightest from speaking up their minds on various subjects they have no clue about or throwing temper tantrums when being corrected.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Whenever Zofia shows up or even approaches the frame, an eerie theme on the flute starts playing.
* ALighterShadeOfGrey: Andrzej isn't a saint nor even a really good person. However, for all his personal flaws, he is still a reasonable statesman and industrious, hard-working businessman.


Added DiffLines:

* MilesGloriosus: Bohdan brags about his military exploits, of which he's very proud. They involved participating... [[DoomedMoralVictor in every single defeat sustained by the Commonwealth over the past decade]].


Added DiffLines:

* OnlySaneMan: Maciej, a down-to-earth apprentice blacksmith. He's also [[AudienceSurrogate the POV character for the audience]], as he's from a "peasant exchange" and an outsider to Adamczycha and its mores.


Added DiffLines:

* RecklessGunUsage: When trying to one-up each other, Andrzej and Jan Paweł do a speedy reload to be the first to kill an elk... only to instantly fire at Henryk when he emerges from the bush.


Added DiffLines:

* SexSells: Invoked in-universe, where Aniela lowers one of the straps of her dress to [[MediumAwareness get back the attention of the camera turning away from her speech]], and then proceeds to chew the filming crew for being such simpeltons.


Added DiffLines:

* SissyVillain: Henryk Lubopolski, a rich, French-styled bon-vivant with a bad case of AnnoyingLaugh and needing a servant for everything he does. None of which makes him any less of a monster, who, unlike [[ObliviouslyEvil Jan Paweł]], takes great pleasure from bullying, beating, fucking and killing people.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Slapstick}}: Easily the biggest source of humour are the various bouts of violence that are also almost never intentional, but ''always'' painful or [[BloodyHilarious over-the-top]].
* SleepingDummy: When running away, Maciej set up an ''incredibly'' blatant one. It still took Bohdan a whole day to figure it out.


Added DiffLines:

* SpitefulSpit: Any single mention of Swedes is going to cause this from Jan Paweł and his sons.
* TakeThat: The series doesn't shy away from making jabs at stuff like the trinkle-down economy, picking comfort over preventing global warming, mobbing, bigotry and what not... by playing it all as very bleak BlackComedy.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainProtagonist: Of the ObliviouslyEvil variety - Jan Paweł is a moron that actively makes the lives of everyone around him miserable and is utterly unable to learn any lessons, but because he's so incredibly stupid and self-centred, the harm he causes flies entirely over his head.

* AppealToTradition: Mocked relentlessly, since the series uses [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarmatism sarmatism]] as an allegory to poke fun out of people who insist on "tradition" for their own, self-serving goals.



* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Almost literally, since the Jew is a Jewish innkeeper, with NoNameGiven. He is, however, a take on an ArchetypalCharacter from Polish literature.



* HistoricalInJoke: The entire damn point of the series is poking fun out of modern, contemporary Poland via a mid-17th century backdrop and historical references.



* LostInTranslation: A ''lot'' of the humour depends on either knowing Polish, or at least the Polish literature. Otherwise, the audiences are facing a ViewersAreGeniuses scenario, where the majority of gags will completely fly over their heads without even registering them as humorous.



* MediumAwareness: It's a {{mockumentary}} about a mid-17th century Polish noble family, so they are fully aware of the camera and the filming crew. Try not to overthink this too much.
