There are a number of running gags. The large door of Brakelmann's barn is always falling off, often scattering chickens across the farmyard. (One time it is blown off by an explosion inside the barn!) Adsche's "Mofa" (moped) falls over when it's unattended, usually after he's entered "Unter den Linden", the village pub.
Episodes are filmed and broadcast in "Hochdeutsch" (High German - the language non-natives are taught) with authentic north German accents and colloquialisms.
They are then dubbed by the cast members into the dialect of "Plattdütsch" (Low German/Low Saxon) that is spoken in Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony for later broadcast.
DVDs of the series are sold with both soundtracks.
