Tone Shift | |
| OSS 117 / int_3dd3a9eb | comment |
Tone Shift: The early films (from 1957 to 1971) generally stuck to the Spy Fiction genre without veering too much into comedic territory. The 2000s films starring Jean Dujardin are straight-up parodies of the spy genre meanwhile, being farcical from the first scene to the last. Spy fiction-wise, the 1950s film was rather Stale Beer, then the 1960s films went full Martini flavored. The recent films since the 2000s are unabashedly Margaritas. | |

Logo Joke: All three films use period-appropriate Gaumont logos (respectively, The '50s, The '60s and The '80s). Seen here, here and here. | |

Those Wacky Nazis | |
| OSS 117 / int_697b5232 | comment |
Those Wacky Nazis: One of 117's numerous enemies in Cairo Nest of Spies is Colonel Gerhard Moeller, a former enemy of 117 during World War II, who set up shop in Egypt after the war. The "wacky" part comes from the homoerotic memories he has of his late comrade, which mirrors those of 117. Heinrich Von Zimmel, the Big Bad of Lost in Rio, is a Nazi Grandpa who settled in Brazil. Wacky antics of his include failing to "establish the Fourth Reich", so he'll try to "establish a Fifth Reich", or invokedreplacing Jews by Nazis in Shylock's famous tirade from Act 3 Scene 1 of The Merchant of Venice. | |

Idiot Hero | |
| OSS 117 / int_7289b368 | comment |
Idiot Hero: These films turned OSS 117 into a paternalistically racist, culturally insensitive, short-sighted, overconfident and nigh-clueless idiot. He has other qualities that allow him to triumph of numerous odds nonetheless, such as his luck, his determination, his fighting skills, and being occasionally cunning. | |

Parody | |
| OSS 117 / int_ae853f28 | comment |
Parody: Of 1950s-1960s Eurospy fiction predominantly (including the original OSS 117 fictions), with some lampooning of the Sean Connery era James Bond films thrown in for good measure. | |

Cringe Comedy | |
| OSS 117 / int_c5ef2d50 | comment |
Cringe Comedy: There's no shortage of moments in which OSS 117 embarrasses his female alter egos and people around him by being an all-around ignorant and awkward jackass. | |

Historical In-Joke | |
| OSS 117 / int_dfe57573 | comment |
Historical In-Joke: The 1950s French political context is lampooned in the first film, with 117's colonialist and chauvinistic mentality and his over-the-top affection for (space-filling nonentity) then-French President René Coty. A number of jokes concern Les Collaborateurs in the second film. | |

Adaptational Nationality | |
| OSS 117 / int_ff6d8ad9 | comment |
Adaptational Nationality: Hubert is American (with French ancestry) in both the books and the older films, or at least his nationality was left ambiguous at best at times. He became purely and unambiguously French in the Jean Dujardin films. | |
