Line 1:
{{worktrope}}
* [[Acceptable Targets]]: the ''entire cast'' was created around this trope.
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]]: In an episode of 1973 and involving Don Ramón working as a barber, the plot suddenly comes to halt near the end and, literally out of nowhere (Seriously. The scene at the time, taking place in the barber shop, quickly fades away in a very out-of-place, psychodelic way), changes to the whole cast sound and well in the neighborhood, talking about Mexico and the world's current affairs (for the time). The scene soon changes back to the previous scene in the same colorful and spiral manner.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]:
** Don Ramon is ''legendary'' amongst Latin Americans as the funniest character on the show, to the point of [[Memetic Badass]] status.
Line 7:
** Godinez
** La Chilindrina was and still is amazingly popular. Actress Maria Antonieta de las Nieves went on to appear as La Chilindrina in a movie, a soap opera where she guest starred for several episodes, and even had her own very successful circus.
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]] and/or [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Carlos Villagran and Florinda Meza ''did'' have a [[Romance Onon the Set]] and a [[Love Triangle]] with Chespirito, as confirmed in an interview by Villagran. Go watch their charas's scenes as [[My Beloved Smother|mother]] and [[Spoiled Brat|son]]. Either get [[Brain Bleach]] as fast as you can or laugh until you cry.
* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]: El Chavo was extremely popular over all of Latin America, but it's brutal in Brazil, as mentioned above.
** Also worth noting that is by now much more popular in the rest of Latin American countries than Mexico.
Line 18:
* [[Values Dissonance]]: Obligatory when considering how old the show is. Don Ramon's hitting Chavo as part of the running gag or it being implied many times that he spanked Chilindrina. Certain episodes have everyone getting extremely disgusted when a confusion leads them to think that [[Ho Yay|Don Ramon and Jirafales]] [[Mistaken for Gay|were in love with each other]].
** Not to mention, the show was set and filmed in the Mexico from [[The Seventies]]. Mexico is a ''very'' conservative society, even by Latin-American standards.
* [[What an Idiot!]]
