1* AssPull:
2** 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 proficiency or any intelligence at all.]]
3** After the second time that Aspic and Ruslebiffen [[spoiler: break into the wreckers' home and steal the magical glove,]] it's revealed that [[spoiler: Santa has talked to Mrs Claus and has had her make a non-functional copy of the glove, which is what Aspic and Ruslebiffen ended up stealing.]] It's never foreshadowed and it's not explained why they didn't do it earlier.
4* 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.
5* {{Padding}}:
6** If you don't enjoy the songs, you may think they're this (especially songs like Kano hula-hula, which are completely irrelevant to the plot), but at least repetition of songs is rare (unlike Series/TheJulekalender).
7** Høgger'n launching into space is mostly the same every time, but it's still shown every time and tends to drag out for longer than necessary.
8** The driving sequences are unnecessarily dragged out.
9* {{Squick}}: Both Inga and Sølve fall into the manure cellar at some point. When Sølve is washed with alcohol after his fall, Johnsen (jokingly) suggests that they drink it afterward.
10* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Høgger'n is never actually shown in the past.
