Condorito: Difference between revisions

* [[Brick Joke]]: Played straight and inverted for laughs.

* [[Broken Aesop]]: Oh, where to begin? Always played for laughs, though.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: Condorito's trademarked "¡Reflauta!" when he's surprised, or his fourth wall breaker "¡Exijo una explicación!" (I demand an explanation!) comment after getting a downbeat ending.

** Don Chuma's "No se fije en gastos, compadre" (Don't mind on the expenses, fella) when he lends money to Condorito and his hilarious "¡Por las canillas del mono!" (By the monkey's shins!) when he's scared or surprised.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: It happens from time to time. Interestingly enough, this is ''not'' limited to the jokes involving female nudity or "sexy" situations. For example, British explorer Lord "Eggon", whose name is a crude, Spanglish translation of "Huevon" (Chilean slang for "asshole")

** One joke in particular featured Condorito (as a talented painter) inviting Yayita and her parents to the inauguration of a display of his paintings. One of the paintings was a full-bodied nude painting of Yayita (much for her mother and father's wrath) but Condorito calmed them down by explaining that Yayita didn't posed nude for him... because he painted her fom his memory. Yayita siliently blushed while Condorito was saying this.

* [[Idiot Ball]]: Everyone carries it from time to time, except for Ungenio Gonzalez, who's permanently stuck with it and is blissfuly unaware of it.

* [[Jerkass]]: Pepe Cortisona, full stop.

** Like for example, Condorito working as the nudist camp's guard and having to pin his badge on his own skin. Ouch.

* [[Negative Continuity]]

** Washington is also a talking animal, but with a twist: Only the reader can understand what he says, while the comic's characters hear only barks.

* [[One Head Taller]]: Inverted.

* [[Take That]]: Pepo had an incident where a guy called Washington Quezada offended his wife, so Pepo took revenge in two ways: The phrase "muera el roto Quezada" (roughly, "death to the rude Quezada") [[Running Gag|popped up anywhere]] [[Funny Background Event|in the background of the strip]]; and he [[We Named the Monkey Jack|named Condorito's dog Washington]]. The first was removed when Quezada passed away, but the later stuck.

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Ungenio Gonzalez. He is the first man in the world to have drowned on a desert's mirage.

** This is used as an excuse to delay their marriage, as Condorito fears she could turn into a copy of her mother once she gets older.

* [[Universal Adaptor Cast]]: Especially Condorito.
