  • Adorkable:
    • While any member of the crew could be considered this in unscripted videos, Felix tends to be perceived this way the most. He's a glasses-clad Gentle Giant who collects tacky shirts and can talk about movies for hours on end, what's not to love?
    • Mystikhörnan's Kenneth Hyvel (who coincidentally is played by Felix) can also be considered this, but for different reasons: namely, his slight naïvite, passion for investigating conspiracies/myths, and extreme loyalty towards Morgan.
  • Bizarro Episode: S2E08 of Mystikhörnan is structured more like a weird parody of a sitcom than anything else, and even for Mystikhörnan standards, it kind of comes out of nowhere. The crew themselves have noted that in hindsight, they could have toned the joke down a bit.
  • Crosses the Line Twice: In the video "Vi gick på Barbenheimer med @ElChilli", Basse gives out the fact that Barbie was first launched in Japan, and finishes it by saying "You know what else was launched first in Japan?".
  • Harsher in Hindsight:
    • Quite a few videos feature jokes about Swedish TV personality Martin Timell. Nowadays, those jokes can be pretty hard to stomach given the accusations of sexual harrassment and rape that arose toward Timell during October 2017.
    • In the Första Intrycket episode for Tre Solar, Felix and Basse had a pretty lighthearted reaction to the death of Rikard Wolff's character, joking that it'd stop him from doing the voice of Scar.note  It becomes a lot harder to watch come Rikard Wolff's passing just barely 6 months after the video was uploaded. Making things even worse is The Lion King (2019) - in a sense, Wolff was prevented from voicing Scar by dying, just like Felix and Basse said.
    • In the review of Stockholmsnatt, released in 2012, Felix made a joke about selling sex to Paolo Roberto. Come 2020, and Paolo Roberto is caught buying sex under less than consensual circumstances.
  • He Panned It, Now He Sucks!: While Felix usually avoids this trope, he got on the bad side of the brony fandom for his review of My Little Pony: Equestria Girls where he admits to disliking its parent franchise.
  • Heartwarming in Hindsight: In the review for the Sune theater play Sunes Jul, Felix goes over the trailer for the then upcoming movie Sune vs. Sune, and while he did not like it that much, he still hoped that he would be wrong and that the movie would be good before convincing himself that it wouldn't happen. When the movie came out, he didn't review it until april 2021, where he stated the reason why: it actually was a decent movie, so his hope three years before turned out to be valid.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • In their third multiplayer round of Age of Empires II, several of the players joke that Andreas (one of two guest stars from Dunderhumor) shouldn't be allowed to play with them next time because he's too good at the game. Cue the fourth round, which was just Monte Fjanton members anyway, and the fifth... Where Dunderhumor's Walter makes an re-appearance, but Andreas still didn't show up.
    • In this fan made Youtube Poop based on the review of Hercules from 2016, which was acknowledged on Monte Fjanton's official twitter, Wabuu is referred to as "the lord of the underworld". Come three years later, and we see Wabuu assuming this exact role in Dingo's Inferno. The same YTP has a joke early on about Felix watching one of his old reviews and getting distressed by it; four months later, Felix made a video where he reviewed the first three reviews with similar results.
  • Ho Yay: In Mystikhörnan, the bond between Morgan and Kenneth may be slightly dysfunctionalnote  but also comes across as very intimate, to the point that Kenneth seems more attached to Morgan than to his daughter or ex-wife. For instance, when Kenneth gets put into a Friend Versus Lover-situation with Morgan and his wife, he chooses Morgan directly leading to a divorce, and Morgan is shown to have carried around a photo of him and Kenneth for many years even after they went separate ways (with his only other photos being of himself, Alex Jones, and a possible ex-girlfriend).
  • Retroactive Recognition: S2E03 of Mystikhörnan features Swedish stand up-comedian Carl Stanley as an Alex Jones-inspired troll hunter. This was in 2015, at a time when Stanley was transitioning from stage magic to comedy, and was still an obscure name in the latter field.
  • Rooting for the Empire: Happens regularly to Felix, especially when he's reviewing a particularly bad movie. For instance, when Dragonetti (the protagonist of the film with the same name) gets tortured by the villains:
    Felix: "Seriously, do they actually believe that we'll start caring about this psychopathic mass-murderer now? Just torture him harder, damn it!"
  • The Woobie: There are quite a few comments on the third season of Mystikhörnan (especially S 3 E 02 in which his wife suddenly leaves him) from viewers feeling sorry for Kenneth and just wanting to give him a hug.
