* ManOfAThousandVoices: The Finnish dub only had twelve actors. In a true show of skill, this is hardly noticeable [[note]] Through they do occassionally do sound similiar, they can't be mistaken for each other[[/note]].



* SeriesContinuityError: In it's first appearance in season 1, all [[ANaziByAnyOtherName National Crows' Party]] members (except Dolf, who wears a bicorne) wear kepis. In the photographs shown in television during season 2, all members wear bicornes. Their salute also changes [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H4CxFlKp_XU from season 1's hand-on-the-heart salute ]] [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uuwof72XN-M to a more Nazi-like gesture ]].
* {{Talking to himself}}: Happens a lot in finnish dub.
* {{Tuckerization}}: Herman Van Veen named Alfred after his friend and patron Alfred Biolek.
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: While the time period for the animated series is vague. Atrique is based on South Africa where black ducks are segregated from white ducks, geese and animals. At the time, the [[UsefulNotes/TheApartheidEra Apartheid]] was still in effect in South Africa and South West Africa (now Namibia) and lasted until April 27, 1994.
** A given, considering that large part of the whole show's point was to talk the era's societal problems. Worryingly, [[HistoryRepeats a few stories feel relevant again decades later]].
