Line 32:
** Never call the Golden Eagle Twins' Zeppelin a blimp.
** If you hurt Frida when Chief Suarez is around, pray for mercy.
* [[Better Asas Friends]]: Much to Rodolfo's chagrin, his ex-wife Maria keeps insisting that they should remain [[Just Friends]].
* [[Between My Legs]]: Of Maria in the episode "A Mother's Glove".
** Also of El Oso in "Sole of a Hero" and El Tigre in "Fistful of Collars"
Line 41:
* [[Brought Down to Normal]]: Every time a villain snatches his belt, Manny is helpless.
** This happens to all the Rivera men in 'No Belt, No Boots, No Bero', due to court order. The alternative was time in an onion mine.
* [[Brought to You Byby The Letter "S"]]: The letter T on the El Tigre belt.
* [[Bumbling Dad]]: Rodolfo is a good father, but he's a bit of a dork sometimes. Especially in the presence of his lady love, Maria.
** As a crime-fighting maverick, on the other hand, he's the real deal.
Line 82:
* [[Disaster Dominoes]]: Pretty much every time Manny goes El Tigre in the school library.
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: La Tigressa {{spoiler|Frida Suarez.}}
* [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]: Sartana of the Dead. Take a guess at what her theme is.
** Also, pretty much every character on the show, if you have any understanding of Spanish.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Puma Loco draws the line at hurting your own family. Also, Don Baffi doesn't mess with true love.
** All of the super villains present were horrified when El Tigre gave Dr. Chipotle Sr. a wet willy.
* [[Everything's Deader Withwith Zombies]]: Zombietown, and particularly the occasion where Frida begins to succumb to the zombie on her head.
* [[Everything's Worse Withwith Bears]]: El Oso.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Every villain, of course. And for a hero, Plata Peligrosa has a pretty good evil laugh.
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: All the time. Generally, it's a way for Manny to have evil episodes but still not seem too bad.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: Sketches of El Tigre's third season, which never did exist, can be found on deviantArt.
* [[Expressive Hair]]: Manny's white tufts as El Tigre react to his moods. It spikes up when he's angry, and droops when he's sad.
* [[The Family for Thethe Whole Family]]: The Mustache Mafia
* [[Full Name Ultimatum]]: Both parents have done it, though White Pantera's was interrupted by almost drowning.
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: Dr. Chipotle Sr. and Dr. Chipotle Jr.
Line 108:
* [[Heroic RROD]]: Maria's Glove which makes her particularly [[Ax Crazy]] the longer she wears it.
* [[Henshin Hero]]: Manny uses a special belt to transform from his secret identity to his superhero form. He also only possesses his super powers while in his superhero form.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Sartana and Django are [[Xiaolin Showdown (Animation)|Wuya and Jack Spicer]].
* [[Hot Librarian]]: Maria.
* [[Hot Mom]]: Maria Rivera, again, plus Voltura (Zoe Aves/Black Cuervo´s mom) and Carmela Suarez (Frida Suarez´s mom).
Line 122:
* [[Karma Houdini]]: The Golden Eagle Twins. Two twins who take advantage of their superhero fame to scam the locals into getting whatever they want. Despite Manny and Frida beating em in a fight and destroying their zeppelin ("IT'S NOT A BLIMP"). The city still supported then none the wiser to their true natures. What more Manny ended up getting imprisoned for a statue of them that was the destroyed in the fight.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]] "It's like you kicked a puppy... a lost, unemployed puppy... with a cold."
* [[Leitmotif]]: A few beyond general themes - Manny has the main theme, naturally. Grandpapi has a theme from ''[[Carmen (Theatre)|Carmen]]'' that generally plays when a scene is about him.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]
* [[Longing Look]]
Line 145:
* [[Prehensile Hair]]: Manny's sentient mustache Raul, as well as Sophia's sentient monobrow.
** The Mustache Mafia too, of course.
* [[Raised Byby Wolves]]: Parodied and subverted with El Oso. He ''was,'' technically, raised by bears, in that his whole life he followed around a family of bears that wanted nothing to do with him and tried with extreme failure to copy them. This included trying punching a beehive open to get the honey inside (and getting stung for his trouble), trying punching water in order to catch fish (and getting attacked by a fish for his trouble), and ''[[Epic Fail|trying to scratch his back on a tree like the others by punching a twig]]'' (and getting smashed by a fallen tree... inexplicably). The bears, incidentally, spend the whole time trying to get rid of him.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: All the villains on the show. Including the child villains.
* [[Rocket Punch]]: El Tigre thankfully never combined with the [[Wolverine Claws]].
Line 160:
*** The name Super Macho Fighters II should make that clear enough.
** Frida's puppet show: "So then the rabbit said to the hunter, 'No, I'm a duck.'"
** One episode has Manny and Frida visit El Oso's lair, where his twin brother is watching "tv" - really a rock with a crude picture of [[Yogi Bear (Animation)|Yogi Bear]] drawn on it.
*** Later in the same episode, Manny and Frida try to lure a group of bears to follow them with a picnic basket. It works.
** Sartana of the Dead's first name sounds suspiciously similar to that of another latin guitarist.
Line 167:
* [[Slasher Smile]]: Several of the villains, but ''especially'' the Titanium Titan, who rarely doesn't have his face stretched into a jagged, toothy, creepy grin.
* [[Spaghetti Western]]: Invoked. Manny's school, Leone, is named after [[Sergio Leone]], director of the [[Dollars Trilogy]]. Likewise, Django and Sartana of the Death are named after two protagonists from the genre.
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: Rodolfo's former sidekick, Titanium Titan, is completely obsessed with Rodolfo.
* [[Stock Sound Effects]]: There's a few that you're bound to hear at least once an episode, including certain anime-style slashing sounds, an [[Audible Sharpness]] sound that's often used before something explodes, and a couple of commonly-used fart sounds that accompany everything from a garbage truck dumping out shredded trash goop, to a robot dog farting out a battery.
** There's also a "warping" sound effect used for laser and the like which got a lot of memorable use in the old [[Fantastic Four]] animated show. In the sixties.
Line 185:
** Her entire family is like this. Zoe likes/hates Manny, her mother likes/hates Rodolfo and her grandmother likes/hates Grandpapi.
*** Zoe's mother hates being reminded that Rodolfo is the one who broke up with her.
* [[Two Guys and Aa Girl]]: Sergio, Diego/Dr. Chipotle Jr., and Frida. A whole episode was dedicated to this.
* [[Two-Teacher School]]
* [[Verbal Tic]]: El Oso does this a lot, mang.
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: At the end of Season 2 Manny and Frida kiss each other romantically.
* [[Villain Withwith Good Publicity]]: The Golden Eagle Twins.
* [[Villainesses Want Heroes]]: Black Cuervo and Voltura, for Manny and Rodolfo respectively.
* [[Wake Up, Go to School, Save Thethe World]]
* [[We Can Rule Together]]
* [[We Will Meet Again]]
