* BewareTheNiceOnes: Achim is a downplayed example. He's incredibly patient, but sometimes he can be pushed too far, not in a violent way but a sneaky, mischievous way. In "Kunibert and the Story Thief", he gets sick of Kunibert sorting stories from the kids by computer without taking the time to read them first so he disguises himself as a robber and steals them.

Brummkreisel (''Spinning Top'') was an East German children's TV series that ran from 1982 to 1991. The show starred Joachim Kaps as Achim, a man with red dungarees and possible magic powers, and Hans-Joachim Leschnitz as Kunibert, a small faerie type creature, who get up to hijinks and teach kids everything from courtesy to the weather.

!!This show provides examples of:

* EightiesHair: Achim's other distinguishing figure, besides his dungarees.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Achim is the TokenHuman of the show, but he has a magic book and seems to have magical powers, so he may be some sort of clown wizard.
* TheFairFolk: Kunibert is some sort of fairy or goblin.
* GossipyHens: Hops and Mops in the episode ''Rumors'', after hearing that Achim "passed by with a monkey tooth", meaning that he's always on the move. This episode shows how hurtful rumors can be as they misinterpret the saying and think that Achim has actual monkey teeth.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kunibert is bossy, loud, demanding, but loves Achim and depends on him.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Achim and Kunibert are close friends, although sometimes Achim gets annoyed with Kunibert's bluster and at one point steals the letters he demanded to organize to teach him a lesson.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Both Achim and Kunibert dress up as female fairy tale characters. In the episode ''Winter'' Achim dresses up as Mother Hulda while singing an ode to her, while in another episode Kunibert dresses up as a princess to walk like one.
* YourSizeMayVary: Kunibert's size changes from thirty centimeters to a foot and a half in between scenes.
