| Ottifanten (Comic Strip) | comment |
Ottifanten are a German comic strip by Otto Waalkes with anthropomorphic elephants. Many of them are centered on the family Bommel: The hapless father Paul, his wife, baby Bruno, his two siblings, and Paul's wacky 90-year-old father. Or Bommel's boss Kaluppke, his lazy secretary and the cigar-puffing cleaning lady Erna Hoppmann. Others parody superheroes or celebrities. Or are just funny stories in general. | |

Ditto Aliens: Or rather, Ditto Ottifants. Once lampshaded by one of them. The other one claims he's perfectly able to tell them apart - and then calls the other one by the wrong name. | |

Guardian Angel: One suicidal guy (who never pulls it through, so he can stay a Running Gag) has one. Who doesn't really look very angelic, with his five-o-clock-shadow and cheap cigar. But he has some great references - in the past, he used to protect John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, John Lennon... Oh, Crap!. | |

Bait-and-Switch: Typical for a comical series. Like here: A coach is training some guys, as it seems. He commands them: "Stretch out your arms! Lift... and lower! And again! Now put your head back! Open your mouth wide!" (wait, what?) Then we see what the guys are training for: The very Oktoberfest. | |

Good Angel, Bad Angel: Parodied. They conspire with each other when their ottifant finds a wallet, so they can take it instead. And the shoulder devil states that he has to be more careful, because the guy almost took the wallet for himself. | |

| Ottifanten (Comic Strip) / int_e83fc5 | comment |
No "Arc" in "Archery": A master archer shoots his arrow... which misses the target; but instead pierces a farmer's cigar (while not stopping); and the sausage one guy had just picked up; and a tennis ball from the hand of the player; and a canary which was sitting in the cage; until the arrow finally hits an imbiss booth. Where a guy had just ordered a kebab with everything, and snappy! All without changing the direction. | |
