History Theatre / Latibaer

* VillainSong: ''Glanni Glæpur Í Latabæ'' has two: "Versti fantur" sung by Glanni, and "Glaumbæjargengið" sung by the titular gang that Glanni hires. Glani gets another song with "Lifid Er Svo Lett" where though he's singing about a positive cooperation message, he's doing so to decieve everyone into trusting him and following his lead.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kcw74cfkzjM The 2018 revival that played in Iceland's Hveragerðis Theatre]] updates the characters' outfits to be more in line with the TV series, though some characters still don't look like themselves (Nenni has a gray suit instead of a yellow vest, for example, while Íþróttaálfurinn wears a track jacket and lacks his "10" crystal).

* YouDontLookLikeYou: All of the characters returning from the first play look different in the second. The most obvious instance is probably Goggi, who is a bald man with glasses in ''Áfram Latibær!'' but looks much younger and has green hair in ''Glanni Glæpur Í Latabæ''.

* MeaningfulRename: After the town wins the sports competition in the first play, the now-active Latibær decides to change its name to Leikbær ([=PlayTown=]).

* CantArgueWithElves: Partially subverted. Íþróttaálfurinn doesn't exactly ''lecture'' the humans on how to live better, healthier lives. Instead, he ''teaches'' them.

* CardCarryingVillain: Glanni Glæpur's very first scene has him proudly sing a song about how he's the worst criminal you'll ever meet.

** In the original book, Halla (Trixie) has a twin brother named Hallo, who is left out from the plays.
