The waiter getting progressively drunk on drinks he is serving.

the butler repeatedly stumbling over the head of a dead trophy animal in the hallway of a castle is a direct and intentional parody of the butler in Dinner for One, who also repeatedly trips over such a trophy animal on the floor.

The ending scene of Den Tatuerade Änkan has the same settings as 90. Geburtstag oder Dinner for One, Der. Especially the tripping over the polar bear.
