• Alas, Poor Scrappy: Paz when she comes back and sees Luisma happy with another girl. At first it was seen as karmic, but then became this.
  • Ainhoa being cheated on. Well-liked or not, she didn't deserve that.
• Anvilicious: So very much.
• Base Breaker: Basically all the characters, due to being object of massive Depending on the Writer.
• Broken Base: Season 6, everyone! Many people think that, with Aída leaving the show and Flanderization of the other characters, it hit Rock Bottom. Others thought it was a good opportunity to make fan favourite Luisma the main protagonist.
• Cargo Ship: Barajas/Doraemon. Is as funny as it sounds.
• Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy: Although the hilarious comedy downplays this quite a bit, it can create this due to Flanderization and the characters being really unsympathetic sometimes, especially in later seasons.
• Draco in Leather Pants: Mauricio. People tend to downplay his bastardry due to his hilarious antics.
• Ensemble Darkhorse: This trope should be called "The Luisma". His funny and over-the-top antics has made him the soul of the series. His actor, Paco León, has received many awards for this character and is famous for it.
• Foe Yay Shipping: Too many to count.
• Funny Aneurysm Moment: The constant over-the-top spanish patriotism. If you do that in Real Life, prepare for a severe smackdown.
  • Also, the representation of spanish people as lazy and vulgar. Many people has started to become like this, which earned a lot of criticism.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Luisma says that Jose and him are Like Brother and Sister. The actors (Paco and María León, respectively) are siblings in Real Life.
  • Also, in one episode, Jonathan says "This woman looks like momma" after watching a yoghurt TV ad. The woman is Carmen Machi, who portrays Aída herself.
• Ho Yay: Very much. In-Universe with Fidel pinning on Jonathan.
  • This moment takes the cake:

Barajas: Hey, Javi (Chema)! Can we make love?

• Jerkass Woobie: Every character can act like a real dick and be pitiful at the same time.
• Magnificent Bastard: Mauricio when pulling a Karma Houdini. Fidel can also be considered this.
• Replacement Scrappy: Ainhoa was set up to be this. However, she's more of a Base Breaker, due to freeing Luisma out of his previous Flanderization.
  • Subverted with Barajas. At first, it looked like he was going to be a crappy carbon-copy of Luisma. However, his Non Sequitur Cloudcuckoolander tendencies made him one of the show's fan favourites.
• Rescued From the Scrappy Heap: Mauricio became The Scrappy because of his feud with Chema in Season 7. When Chema saves him and reconciles with him, he got this treatment. The same goes for Paz after her divorce with Edu.
  • Ainhoa gets this because of her kind nature and the fact she rescued Luisma from his previous Flanderization and Jerkassitude. It makes their breakup all the more heartbreaking.
• Romantic Plot Tumor: Luisma and Paz's complicated relationship, especially in later seasons.
  • The triangle Mauricio/Soraya/Chema in the infamous Season 7. It gets resolved early. (Thank, God!)
• Ron the Death Eater: Chema and Fidel can become this. It doesn't help that they can be portrayed as Soapbox Sadies Hypocrites in-series.
• Seasonal Rot: While Season 6 was more of a Broken Base, Season 7 is considered the worst, making failure attempts at drama and taking the characters' unpleasantness Up to Eleven. The following seasons and the Grand Finale solved this, in a way.
• The Scrappy: Discounting Base Breakers, we have:
  • After their introduction, people gave Tagalong Kids Germán and Aidita a pass, being cuties despite not having funny traits. Once they grow older and take massive levels in jerkass, they very much earned the fandom's hatred.
  • Mecos and Néstor are not well-liked either, since they're more unpleasant versions of Jonathan and Machupichu respectively.
• Unfortunate Implications: Plenty, but especially Mauricio's treatment on inmigrants. Then again, the Aída Universe is an exaggerated and surrealist version of Spanish stereotypes, so that was expected.
• The Woobie: Barajas and Machupichu. They're Butt Monkeys who almost never hold the Jerkass Ball and are victimized frequently by the other characters.
