* {{Catchphrase}}: Manuel has a very iconic hilarious one. ¿Por qué tu daña' el momento?

--> '''Sobeida:''' Chuchi! Chuchi! That's how I wanted to find you!
--> '''Manuel:''' No, honey. It's not what you think--
--> [Sobeida slaps Manuel and proceeds to drown him before waking up from his dream screaming. Both of them scream at the same time]
--> '''Sobeida:''' What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?
--> '''Manuel:''' Not even in a dream can you stop harassing me!

* TheCameo: Johnny Ventura makes a brief appearance at the beginning of the film as Modesto's father.

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: PlayedForLaughs. Modesto is busy practicing his english until Manuel suddenly yells out in excitement, '''I'M RICH!!!'', before being joined by Sobeida and Susanita, who yell out as well, leading Modesto to demand to know what's gotten into them. Cue Modesto's priceless reaction when he realizes they won the lottery.

--> '''Manuel:''' So many courses and so many stuff for nothing. May I remind you that if you have money it's thanks to us? If Mom Susana hadn't took you in and adopted you, you'd be a nodoby!

* StockholmSyndrome: Susanita develops sympathy for Jorge and Rubén after kidnapping her.

* [[ChickMagnet]] ''and'' [[DudeMagnet]]: Shortly after arriving at Chichi Xtreme Luxury, Marcelo catches the eyes of the female employees, including Dahiana, the secretary, and even a male employee who's gay.

* TheCameo: Johnny Ventura makes a brief appearance at the beginning of the film as Modesto's father. Archie López also appears as himself when he proposes to make Modesto and Manuel's success into a movie.

* PutOnABus: Dahiana and the female employees at ChichiXtremeLuxury are unceremoniously fired only because Sobeida found their flirty personalities to be completely unprofessional and do not appear for the rest of the film. She replaces them with male ones and Dahiana with a deaf older woman.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The argument between Modesto and Manuel when the former suggests that they sell their house and move to the new luxurious apartment, even suggesting that Manuel move the motorcyle workshop somewhere near the block, only for Manuel to admonish him, ending with Modesto asking him "Why can't you be a ''normal'' man?". This quote is suspiciously reminiscent of Series/LaFamiliaPLuche whenever anyone or the titular family dismiss her intelligence and metaphoric speeches.

* OhCrap: PlayedForLaughs. Modesto's priceless reaction when his family won the lottery.
--> '''Modesto:''' Oh...my...god. [puts his hand on his chin to close his mouth]
