| Hallo Spencer | comment |
A German puppet show that aired from 1979 to 2001, and was heavily inspired by The Muppet Show. This show stars Spencer in the fictional town of Spencerdorf (the Real Life Spencerville, Ohio in the English-dubbed version). Spencer introduces the viewers and the theme of the episode, with the villagers later contributing something to the theme. Sometimes, there would be special episodes in which the characters would re-tell nursery rhymes or fairy tales or, in one case, the Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart opera The Magic Flute.Translations into other languages were short lived and didn't always translate well, but regardless, Hallo Spencer is still beloved to this day in its home country. It even received its own section in a theme park. | |

Bizarre Alien Biology | |
| Hallo Spencer / int_1161fb48 | comment |
Bizarre Alien Biology: Galaktika, the alien fairy, has only legs when she needs to, can change her size and often hasn't even a solid body. Let's not start about her eating and sleeping habits. | |

Non-Residential Residence | |
| Hallo Spencer / int_116eeb4a | comment |
Non-Residential Residence: If you don't know that Spencer actually lives in a city and commutes to his studio, you may have the impression that he lives in it. For a couple of episodes, he is technically homeless, and he does live in the studio. Poldi stretches "residential" by living in a volcanic crater. This idea was probably borrowed from Michael Ende's Jim Button. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Hallo Spencer / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: While in the studio, Spencer talks to the audience most of the time, and it's usually only him who is allowed to do so. Elvis may do it when he stands in for Spencer. However, the other characters occasionally break the fourth wall, too. | |

Identical Twin Mistake | |
| Hallo Spencer / int_246f70c6 | comment |
Identical Twin Mistake: Mona and Lisa look all the same except for their hairstyles, they've also got different voices and characters. But even with this difference, most townspeople can't tell off the bat who is who, much to the twins' dismay, unless they have a crush on one of them. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Hallo Spencer / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshaded whenever Elvis has to stand in for Spencer and announce cuts or videos in Spencer's place. With only one puppeteer and rigid hands, Elvis can't click his fingers, no matter how hard he tries. He eventually resigns, slaps his hand on the desk and says, "Finger click!" In a later episode, he is prepared somewhat better: He has got a video of Spencer finger-clicking that he uses for this purpose. | |

Character Development | |
| Hallo Spencer / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: A lot of this happened between the late 70s to the early 90s . Poldi became less of an aggressive jerk. Lulu whose puppet was completely redesigned during the later part of season 2 became less naïve, a process that continued throughout the following episodes. The start of season 2 is also when she moves into her decommissioned train car, the Dream Express, and becomes a fashion designer. Lexi changes somewhat in episode 53 when he develops a crush on Lisa from a poem that the latter had actually written for her twin sister Mona. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Hallo Spencer / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: If you've started watching Hallo Spencer at some point during its run, the five episodes that make up the pilot season may make you wonder what on Earth you're watching. Spencer doesn't have an assistant yet. Lulu doesn't look like Lulu. And she has a sister. And she lives in a city apartment with her sister and Elvis (at least Elvis is already there and Lulu's boyfriend). Where in the world is the Dream Express? Karl-Heinz doesn't "babbel" Hessian if you're watching the German dub. And who is that mischievous black thing? (He'll be named Nero later on and largely removed again after episode 107.) | |

Sampling | |
| Hallo Spencer / int_515eeccc | comment |
Sampling: When the characters re-enact The Magic Flute, Elvis ends up having to play the Queen of the Night. Needless to say that there's no way he can sing the more difficult parts of the Queen's aria. Karl-Heinz solves this problem by flying this part in as samples while Elvis "lip-syncs" to it. | |

Muppet | |
| Hallo Spencer / int_aa7fa67c | comment |
Muppet: Hallo Spencer was inspired by The Muppet Show. Spencer is a quite elaborate muppet for even Jim Henson's standards because he has always got two functioning hands. He always announces cuts to other locations or videos with a finger click. Lampshaded whenever Elvis has to stand in for Spencer and announce cuts or videos in Spencer's place. With only one puppeteer and rigid hands, Elvis can't click his fingers, no matter how hard he tries. He eventually resigns, slaps his hand on the desk and says, "Finger click!" In a later episode, he is prepared somewhat better: He has got a video of Spencer finger-clicking that he uses for this purpose. Lulu used to have two working hands, too. But since this was rather needless, she was redesigned after the first five episodes for only one puppeteer and got a whole new face with a nose in exchange. | |

Our Dragons Are Different | |
| Hallo Spencer / int_d88e125e | comment |
Our Dragons Are Different: Poldi seems to be a more or less typical, albeit young, specimen of a Western dragon. He is green, he is reptiloid, and since he lives in what looks like a very small active volcano, he is at least implied to be fireproof. It is not known, however, if he can breathe fire, and he is wingless. Basically the same applies to the other dragons at Young Dragon School. | |

Hollywood Web Cam | |
| Hallo Spencer / int_d929e675 | comment |
Hollywood Web Cam: The Visophon. It's in real-time (although that's actually rather credible, given that the Visophone is analog), it's rather hi-res, and everyone looks straight out of the screen which means everyone looks at the camera instead of whatever screen they may have. It's actually particularly egregious in Spencer's case: The Visophon calls are always only shown at Spencer's studio, and even when using the Visophon, Spencer looks into the audience's direction which implies that's where his camera is. In the meantime, the screen is being lowered behind him when a call comes in or he calls someone. This also means he can't even look at the screen which makes you wonder why he had a Video Phone installed in the first place. | |

Fungus Humongous: Lexi's place at least looks like one. | |

Encyclopaedic Knowledge: Lexi. He is even working on his own encyclopedia on a typewriter, much to his neighbor Nepomuk's dismay. | |

Dub Name Change | |
| Hallo Spencer / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: Spencer was renamed Hallo Spencer in the U.S. dub to make the show's title and the lettering of the same name in Spencer's studio make sense ("Hallo Spencer" just translates into "Hello Spencer" in German). | |

Dub-Induced Plotline Change | |
| Hallo Spencer / int_e5c4e505 | comment |
Dub-Induced Plotline Change: In the early '90s, Saban dubbed the episode into English as The Hallo Spencer Show, but made several more changes, including re-writing the dialogue, changing a few names, changing the theme song, and adding a rap portion at the end of each episode that summarized its events. Needless to say, this version was very short lived. | |

Teach Him Anger | |
| Hallo Spencer / int_e8749dab | comment |
Teach Him Anger: Nepomuk tries to do this with Kasi to make him somewhat more assertive. He even wants Kasi to curse. It doesn't quite turn out the way he expects. | |

Mushroom House: Lexi's homestead, even though it is so open to the sides that there isn't much "house" to it. | |

Bigger on the Inside | |
| Hallo Spencer / int_fe1b2e75 | comment |
Bigger on the Inside: Nepomuk's castle is way more spacious inside than its rather small outward appearance may suggest. Given how tiny Kasi's treehouse is, the same may apply to it, but we don't know for sure because it is never shown from inside. | |

Unnaturally Looping Location | |
| Hallo Spencer / int_fef0037b | comment |
Unnaturally Looping Location: The village is built in a circle. This is unusual enough already, but what makes it unnatural is that there is a crossroad as in two streets crossing. Whichever road crosses the village's main street should be expected to cross it twice, but there is only one crossroad, and it's highly unlikely that the road ends somewhere within the circle that is this small village. | |
