* MuggedForDisguise - Victor does this to the driver sent by Colonel K in "French Exchange." Also, it marks the only time he thumps someone other than Hugo. Though he does occasionally abuse Interpoll too, it's never quite in the same manner.

* Expy - Hawkeye Soames and Dr. Potson for Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson; Achille Marron for Hercule Poirot.

* DemonicDummy - Played with in 'Dummy Run'. At one point, crooked ventriloquist Gary Gaingridge begins to imagine that his dummy gaston (who looks just like Hugo) is talking to him. It really IS Hugo.

* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS - It's subtle and possibly unintentional, but Victor's 'beautiful tie' has a V motif in it's design.

* RunningGag - In every episode (with only two exceptiona) a small, growling dog would appear out of nowhere, run up Victor's trouser leg and remove his underwear. [[RuleOfFunny No explanation is given]] other than that it is funny - particularly for Hugo.

** "It is all your fault! It is ''always'' your fault!"

Hugo is the younger, shorter brother and dresses like a classic Frenchman with triclore jumper, neckerchief and beret. Like Victor, he also wears a bandit-mask. Hugo is definately the less intelligent half of the duo; however, he was prone to pointing out little oversights in Victor's latest 'meticulous plan' as well as teasing him. Because of the teasing, Victor rarely pays attention to these admonishments, which almost always are the cause of the plan's failing. Hugo keeps a pet earwig called Penelope in a matchbox and confides his worries to her. David (Danger Mouse, Count Duckula, Del-Boy Trotter, Inspector Frost, Granville, etc.) Jason spoke in a silly Frenchified version of Bluebottle out of ''Radio/TheGoonShow'' voice for Hugo. David also spoke in a Cockney accent for Interpoll, the long-suffering pet parrot (and arguably the most intelligent member of the team) who doubled up as a telephone.

* CrossOver - Many times, either in reference or in guest stars. Count Duckula, Igor, Nanny, Hawkeye Soames and Dr. Potson (from 'Count Duckula') Danger Mouse, Penfold, Stiletto,(and their Aunties), Colonel K, Baron Greenback and Nero (from Danger Mouse) and even a nod to Badger from 'Wind in the Willows'. It seems fitting since 'Victor & Hugo' were a spin-off from 'Count Duckula' who in turn span off from 'Danger Mouse.'

* Grappling-HookPistol - The brothers' van has one built into it's front bonnet in 'Blunder on the Orient Express' and they use it to board the moving train. One of their rare temporary successes.

* CoolMask - No matter what the disguise the bros. never remove their bandit masks.

* InJoke - In 'The Whole Truth' in the fancy dress shop, Victor chides Hugo for wanting to dress as Count Duckula, to which Hugo replies 'Oh why not? I can do his voice you know!' This is because both Hugo and Duckula re voiced by David Jason.
