- Cash-Cow Franchise: One of Studio100's most popular shows along with Samson En Gert and tons of merchandise related to the show can be found everywhere in Belgium. "Plop Koeken Biscuts" which features the characters on cookies have also become a popular treat with children.
- Defictionalization: The Plop biscuits and Plop milk from the programme are very popular food items in Belgian and Dutch supermarkets.
- Milestone Celebration: In honor of the 20th anniversary of the franchise in 2017. Studio 100 and music group Baba Yega collaborated to make a second remix of ''Kabouterdans" which features Plop, Kwebbel, Klus and Smal dancing with the group.
- Real Life Writes the Plot:
- Lui is noticeable absent from the stage shows since 2014. This is because Lui's actor Chris Cauwenberghs was diagnosed with cancer in real-life. Although he is currently cured, Cauwenberghs hasn't returned to acting since. In newer live shows and promotional material, Smal has taken Lui's place as a result.
- The music video for the song "Waar is mijn Kaboutermuts?" is the only music video where Plop is the only character present. Since this was made during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the music video is shot inside a green screen environment as shown in behind the scenes photos. Klus, Kwebble, and Lui are only seen through archive footage from previous episodes in the music video. Happily, Klus, Kwebbel, Smal, and Plop reunited for Studio 100's 25th Anniversary Concert in Fall 2021.
- Recycled Script: The Wallonian version reuses of the series has some episodes re-shot.
- The Other Marty: Since the show was made in Belgium, two versions of the show were released. The original Flemish version "Kabouter Plop" and a Walloon version called "Lutin Plop" in 2007. The entire cast were played by different actors in the Walloon version. As a result some of the episodes had to be re-shot with a newly built set. Starting October 2017, the series got dubbed over the original Flemish language episodes and songs. The Walloon actors still make live appearances in the Walloon regions of Belgium.
- The Merch: Like Samson and Gert, the series has gotten a lot of merchandise found everywhere in Belgium from cookies to coloring books.
- You Look Familiar: Peter Thyssen, a Belgian actor who's done a lot of work for Studio 100, has had no less than four different roles in the plays. He has, however, not been in the TV-show nor any of the movies.
