* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Downplayed example because it's for kids. The Aunts Lily and Iris are very large, and very sexually aggressive. They make blunt and overt flirtation with the Big Knights, with one of them even pushing over Sir Morris and laying on top of him. Both of the Big Knights are clearly uncomfortable and even sneak out of the castle by using sheet ropes in an attempt not to wake the Aunts as they make their escape. They later discuss how they felt about being alone with the Aunts, and Sir Doris states that what they felt was fear.

* BrickJoke: King Otto [[TemptingFate continuously jokes]] about the unlikelihood of a meteorite destroying his brand new hydro-electric dam. The camera keeps cutting away to a meteorite approaching planet earth, with ominous music playing. [[spoiler: The meteorite completely misses the dam, but then Sir Morris accidentally launches himself into orbit and falls back down into the side of the dam, destroying it.]]

Humour is derived from the setting (Borovia is not actually in TheMiddleAges but in the TheTwentiethCentury and extremely backwards) and from the various disasters caused by the Big Knights. Oh, and it has Creator/BrianBlessed providing the voice of Sir Morris.

* WickedWitch: In ''The Village Games''. Zig-zagged in that when she first appears, she's shown brewing a bubbling sinister cauldron... which she explains to her cat is vegan soup. When the cat meows at her, she says she knows the vegan version just isn't the same, but you can't get the babies to make it properly nowadays.

* DistaffCounterpart: Aunts Lily and Iris. They're at least somewhat [[WomenAreWiser smarter]] than the Big Knights, but otherwise just like them; just as big, just as strong, just as fearless (they grow {{Man Eating Plant}}s in their garden even bigger than the wild ones seen in the episode), and just as boisterous (when one of the princesses apologies for a quiet burp, one of the Aunts practically blows them both away with a belch to demonstrate what a "real burp" is).

They even say some of the exact same things as the Big Knights, such as referring to an absurdly massive spread of food as "just a snack."

** In one episode, when the Big Knights remove their hats of invisibility in court, the viewer gets to see two frames of Sir Boris naked as they hurriedly cover up.
** In the final episode it is heavily implied the knights 'spent the night' with the princess's aunts, which led them to have some peculiar feelings.
