* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: The series got a shoddy licensed [[MinigameGame mini-game collection]] consisting of basic games like a PopQuiz, a ShellGame, multiple rudimentary jigsaw puzzles, a strange memory game where you feed people fluids that are supposed to go into cars, and a poorly-made ''VideoGame/PacMan'' clone where the camera will abruptly jump to follow your movements because it can't display the whole maze at once. Bizarrely, while Music/VazelinaBilopphoggers had a comic based on it that could have served as inspiration, the game instead opts to slap photos of the members' faces (sometimes using photo series to "animate" them) on animated drawn bodies, creating a weird effect. Also, one of the mini-games uses an annoying nine-second loop as background music.

** When the wreckers are playing the song "Ingen får ei pakke i fra nissen" for Santa, [[spoiler: he's distracted and kidnapped by Aspic and Ruslebiffen. This somehow happens even though the wreckers appear to be looking at Santa while playing ''for him''.]]
** Even though Guri and Ola being [[ChildProdigy Child Prodigies]] is PlayedForLaughs, it gets JustForFun/{{Egregious}} when the wreckers need electricity and fail to realize that the car batteries around them might contain it. (Though the batteries turn out to not contain ''enough'' electricity to power up the glove, so it ends up not really mattering.) Later, it's shown that the wreckers are apparently unfamiliar with the difference between series circuits and parallel circuits.

* EarWorm: Most of, if not all the songs. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOFOVhwgKf4 Hjul-jul i jul]], the first song you hear (except from the opening theme) sets the standard.


* PainfulRhyme: All over the place. A particularly JustForFun/{{egregious}} example is "desember" and "bremser" from "Ingen får ei pakke i fra nissen".

* FridgeBrilliance: Why don't the wreckers just charge their glove at Synnøve's house? It's because Synnøve doesn't have a lot of money. The wreckers don't want to saddle her with a large electricity bill, and they can't afford to pay her back.

** To find out what kind of "rockets" the wreckers launch, Aspic and Ruslebiffen [[spoiler: make a somewhat complicated device that detects movement, takes a picture and prints it. It works perfectly, even though Aspic and Ruslebiffen never show any other sign of technical profiency or any intelligence at all.]]

** If you don't enjoy the songs, you may think they're this (especially songs like Kano hula-hula, which are irrelevant to the plot), but at least repetition of songs is rare (unlike Series/TheJulekalender).
** Høgger'n launching into space is mostly the same every time, but it's still shown every time and is often longer than necessary.
