!!GameShowTropes in use:
to:
* AbsurdlyHighStakesGame: Not only are you gambling tens of thousands of ''pesetas'' (and your dignity) with every challenge, some of them are [[DeadlyGame potentially deadly]].
* AffablyEvil: Flequi, the crazy barber in
* TheAnnouncer - albeit with a very limited role; the show's judge used the PA system more often.
* BankruptcyBarrel: On a couple of episodes, a contestant would be required to lie down on a large wheel which would then be spun. Along with spaces that awarded or took away money, as well as one that did nothing, three of them had a picture of a goose in a barrel - if the contestant's head landed on one of these, he or she had to get inside an actual barrel, strip completely naked, and finish the rest of the show wearing only the barrel.
* BodyPaint: One of the "punishment" spaces, which featured a model wearing it and pretty much nothing else. Any contestant who landed here spun the wheel and the body painter applied the show's logo (a goose head) on whatever body part it landed on, cutting away whatever part of his or her clothes happened to be in the way.
* TheBrute: Maxtor, who started beating the crap out of everyone immediately upon entering and against whom the contestant had to beat in a contest. A similar character named "Jimmy" appeared on occasion during the second season, although in more of an antagonist role rather than the contestant facing off against him head-to-head.
* ButtMonkey: Some of the contestants seem to get this treatment by landing on a combination of punishment spaces and/or ridiculously hard challenges. The second season produced several particularly egregious examples; one of the finalists landed on [[TheBarber Rizotín]] and then lost all of his money on the wheel on his last turn, therefore leaving with one of the worst haircuts ever handed out on the show and emptyhanded (though not without the money he won in his previous appearances).
* CameraAbuse: Happened by accident occasionally when gunge went flying on set, and played with a couple of times when Maxtor hit a sheet of plate glass with a hammer directly in front of the camera to make it look like he was smashing the camera.

* CatchPhrase: Many.
** "''Prueba superada''" for completed challenges, and "''Prueba no superada''" for failed ones.
** "''De oca a oca y tiro porque me toca.''" Originating from the actual board game, it translates loosely into "From goose to goose, I roll because it's my turn" and is said when a contestant lands on an ''Oca'' and has been sent forward.
** "''De dado a dado y tiro porque me ha tocado''", a similar phrase from the original game when a player lands on the "dice" shortcut.
* CelebrityEdition: Done twice; one on [[NewYearHasCome New Year's Eve]] and one in the spring.
* CheatersNeverProsper: Maxtor attempted it once, and the challenge was automatically awarded to the contestant.
* ChristmasEpisode: Featured Christmas decorations on set, several ''pruebas'' with a Christmas motif, the Oquettes dressed in Santa-esque outfits, the celebrity guest playing the part of Santa, numerous cast and crew members wearing Santa hats, and Flequi unveiling the final result of his "victim" via a Santa hat.
* CirclingBirdies: Geese in particular, any time someone was slapped playing ''Beso y tortazo'' (a kiss was followed by {{Heart Symbol}}s).
* ColourCodedCharacters: The contestants' outfits — red, yellow, green, and blue. Two each of the eight ''Oquettes'' represented a contestant's color as well; any time that contestant landed on a shortcut, those particular dancers escorted him or her to the end of it.

* LetsJustSeeWhatWouldHaveHappened: Most frequently seen if a challenge is set up to end with a massive explosion and doesn't - it is usually set off anyway after everyone is at a safe distance just for ooh's and ahh's.

** Most of the sponsor specific challenges, although some of them were merely replaced by other sponsors. One in particular was a type of BonusSpace sponsored by a Spanish bank wherein if the contestant beat the challenge, his bank was doubled; if not, he lost no money.
** ''Ruleta Cruel'' (see below) stopped being featured about halfway through the first season, until it was restructured and brought back in the second. By the time anyone landed on it later in the run, the game had already gone into...
* SpeedRound / SuddenDeath: If time ran short, the game went into ''tirada rápida'' (Fast Roll) mode, in which no more challenges were played and contestants simply rolled the dice until a winner was crowned. On one or two episodes in the second and third seasons, no one reached #63 ''at all'' and the game was awarded to the player closest to it after one round of ''tirada rápida''.
* {{Whammy}}: ''La muerte'', the "Death" space (a skull and crossbones) near the end of the course. If you landed here you were sent back to start by the GrimReaper, although you kept your money.
** The ''Ruleta Cruel'' space (literally means "Cruel Roulette"). The contestant was required to spin the wheel (or get onto a giant torture wheel with his head as the pointer), and lost whatever percentage of money it landed on.
** Any other "punishment" space, as not going through with the "punishment" cleaned out the contestant's bankroll.

* DirtyOldMan: One older male contestant in particular who got to play in each of the first two seasons was made to look like one by being given most of the "sexy" challenges; over the course of the two shows he received body paint to the butt, had to fix a model's terrible "plastic surgery" using only his mouth, and was given the challenge of hiding ten jewels anywhere, yes ''anywhere'' on his body, with the intent of keeping a female celebrity (who was allowed to remove his clothes and do anything else necessary) from finding them all in a certain amount of time. Made even more hilarious in that the Spanish nickname for "dirty old man" translates to "old green ass" or simple "old green"... guess what color he was given to play in on both episodes.
* DontTryThisAtHome: Natch. Even more so when freak show acts were brought on to perform.
* DownerEnding: The single time a winner did not accomplish her ''Reoca'' and win the car (her mission was to get the owners of 600 Fiat 600's to assemble with their cars all in one place).

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first episode featured several set pieces with incomplete or radically different paint jobs, plain-Jane rope lighting around the spaces, a missing dice bridge for the ''Dados'' shortcut, and no watermelon chopping block at space 31. ''Every'' special space on the board was otherwise hit (the body painter, Flequi, the snake tunnel, the "death" space, the Cruel Roulette, etc.), likely to demonstrate how they all worked; the hosts also more thoroughly explained the contestants' progress to them. The challenges not involving the special spaces were generally much simpler than later in the run.
* EpicFail:
** Any time a contestant wound up with ''cero pesetas'', either by wagering everything and failing a challenge or (in later seasons) refusing to participate in one.
** Any time a contestant was given a number of things to accomplish (such as finding jewels in a giant styrofoam block) and failed to get even ''one''.
** Landing on Flequi and missing the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9zDfa9m3oc&t=00m57s first question]].
** One ''prueba'' involved being presented with a herd of 40 sheep and 10 goats, with the objective of putting only the ten goats inside the cage. One contestant accidentally [[HilarityEnsues let the whole herd in]] and was left to count down pretty much the entire final minute as the animals had decided they were through being moved around for the day.
** Pretty much [[CelebrityEdition Jacqueline De La Vega's]] entire stint as a contestant.
** One of the repeated ''pruebas'' from the third season involved swimming while carrying a flaming dish from one side of the pool to the other over slats in a floating bridge, without letting the fire go out by getting the dish's contents wet. One such playing resulted in the contestant extinguishing the fire about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu-5qp7D_bw&t=02m54s five seconds into the challenge]].

A Q&A game was played with these characters in which failure to answer a question about good manners resulted in one of the above violently kissing the contestant (''la besucona'' kissed male contestants and vice versa); correct answers resulted in the host getting kissed instead.
* ForcedToWatch: One challenge featured a young contestant whose husband was brought on stage along with a voluptuous blonde woman; the contestant was then asked five questions, with each one incorrectly answered resulting in the other woman being allowed to smother the husband in kisses right in front of the contestant's face. (The husband's reaction to the sexy woman throughout the

* HomeGame: Inverted and played straight. The board game was invented long before the TV show, then at least one board game was created based on the show's format, using "truth or dare" type challenges as the ''pruebas''.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Flequi. Really the only time he went into jerk mode is when someone landed on his space or [[TemptingFate openly mentioned not wanting to end up there]]; he otherwise generally rooted on the contestants, accompanied several of them on ''Reocas'', and once even taunted Maxtor for losing to a contestant.
* KickTheDog: Part of Maxtor's act as he came out was to have "extras" in the audience to beat up, some of which were wearing slings or were otherwise "handicapped".

* TemptingFate: The sheer number of female contestants that mentioned at the beginning of the game either not wanting to land on Flequi or that they were indifferent to him altogether strangely ended up in his chair about 90 percent of the time. One in particular mentioned her grandparents putting out candles and praying to every saint in the Catholic faith that she wouldn't end up there... you probably already know the rest of the story. For male contestants, merely ''[[GenreBlindness coming to the show]]'' [[WhatAnIdiot with long hair]] was generally more than enough to guarantee their getting sent there.
* TheThunderdome: The cage near the end of the board. Aside from several separate challenges that took place in or involved the cage, if you landed on the space directly in front of its entrance, you had to enter the cage, strap yourself to a bungee cord, and retrieve a key from the backside of a girl who was also on a bungee cord. In all three seasons, the explanation of the challenge always clearly stated that there were no rules; the girl could do ''anything'' to stop you from taking the key.

* TimeBomb
* UnexpectedlyObscureAnswer: Played with, in that the final question in the haircut game was always impossible.
* UnwinnableByDesign: The aforementioned barber's space, as well as a challenge in which a contestant had to wager money that a professional magician would ''not'' successfully perform an everyday sleight-of-hand trick.
* VariableMix: A rare non-video game example. Depending on the setting of a ''prueba'' (funny, happy, dangerous, underwater, gross, industrial, etc.), a musical track of that style was played accordingly. As the challenge progressed, the composers played additional accompaniment on their keyboards - sometimes depending on what the contestant did, but also ensuring that the same musical track rarely, if ever, sounded the same twice.
* {{Whammy}}: ''La muerte'', the "Death" space (a skull and crossbones) near the end of the course. If you landed here you were sent back to start by the GrimReaper, although you kept your money.
** The ''Ruleta Cruel'' space (literally means "Cruel Roulette"). The contestant was required to spin the wheel (or get onto a giant torture wheel with his head as the pointer), and lost whatever percentage of money it landed on.
** Any other "punishment" space, as not going through with the "punishment" cleaned out the contestant's bankroll.

!!This show also provides examples of:
* AbsurdlyHighStakesGame: Not only are you gambling tens of thousands of ''pesetas'' (and your dignity) with every challenge, some of them are [[DeadlyGame potentially deadly]].
* AffablyEvil / BreakoutCharacter: Flequi, the crazy barber in Season 1, full stop. He quickly and easily became the most popular character on the show, to a point where he was sent ''with'' the contestant on quite a few BonusRound missions toward the end of the run. He was referred to as "the most feared and most beloved" person on the show.
* TheBrute / ScaryBlackMan / ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Maxtor, who started beating the crap out of everyone immediately upon entering and against whom the contestant had to beat in a contest. A similar character named "Jimmy" appeared on occasion during the second season, although in more of an antagonist role rather than the contestant facing off against him head-to-head.
* ButtMonkey: Some of the contestants seem to get this treatment by landing on a combination of punishment spaces and/or ridiculously hard challenges. The second season produced several particularly egregious examples; one of the finalists landed on [[TheBarber Rizotín]] and then lost all of his money on the wheel on his last turn, therefore leaving with one of the worst haircuts ever handed out on the show and emptyhanded (though not without the money he won in his previous appearances).
* CameraAbuse: Happened by accident occasionally when gunge went flying on set, and played with a couple of times when Maxtor hit a sheet of plate glass with a hammer directly in front of the camera to make it look like he was smashing the camera.
* CatchPhrase: Many.
** "''Prueba superada''" for completed challenges, and "''Prueba no superada''" for failed ones.
** "''De oca a oca y tiro porque me toca.''" Originating from the actual board game, it translates loosely into "From goose to goose, I roll because it's my turn" and is said when a contestant lands on an ''Oca'' and has been sent forward.
** "''De dado a dado y tiro porque me ha tocado''", a similar phrase from the original game when a player lands on the "dice" shortcut.
* CelebrityEdition: Done twice; one on [[NewYearHasCome New Year's Eve]] and one in the spring.
* CheatersNeverProsper: Maxtor attempted it once, and the challenge was automatically awarded to the contestant.
* ChristmasEpisode: Featured Christmas decorations on set, several ''pruebas'' with a Christmas motif, the Oquettes dressed in Santa-esque outfits, the celebrity guest playing the part of Santa, numerous cast and crew members wearing Santa hats, and Flequi unveiling the final result of his "victim" via a Santa hat.
* ColourCodedCharacters: The contestants' outfits — red, yellow, green, and blue. Two each of the eight ''Oquettes'' represented a contestant's color as well; any time that contestant landed on a shortcut, those particular dancers escorted him or her to the end of it.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: The set is full of bright colors and cartoon geese painted everywhere, it's based on a children's board game, and the Oquettes sing happy songs throughout. When the game actually begins, however, you run into people who want to bodyslam you in mud, beat the crap out of you, lock you in cages with various creatures, blow you up inside cars, or cut all your hair off.
* CrowdChant: "¡Fle-qui! ¡Fle-qui! ¡Fle-qui!"
** Done with some contestants' names as well - most in 3/4 time, interestingly - as well as ''"¡Torero!"'' any time a contestant did something particularly brave.
** Maxtor had a slow one with a drumbeat, during which he would come out and beat the tar out of some of the very ones chanting his name!
* CrowdSong: "Olé olé olé", among others. The theme song itself, during many of the ''Reocas''.
* DancePartyEnding: Both the first and second season finales; see Awesome entry.
* DeadpanSnarker: Pepe Navarro, the main host in Season 2.
* DirtyOldMan: One older male contestant in particular who got to play in each of the first two seasons was made to look like one by being given most of the "sexy" challenges; over the course of the two shows he received body paint to the butt, had to fix a model's terrible "plastic surgery" using only his mouth, and was given the challenge of hiding ten jewels anywhere, yes ''anywhere'' on his body, with the intent of keeping a female celebrity (who was allowed to remove his clothes and do anything else necessary) from finding them all in a certain amount of time. Made even more hilarious in that the Spanish nickname for "dirty old man" translates to "old green ass" or simple "old green"... guess what color he was given to play in on both episodes.
* DontTryThisAtHome: Natch. Even more so when freak show acts were brought on to perform.
* DownerEnding: The single time a winner did not accomplish her ''Reoca'' and win the car (her mission was to get the owners of 600 Fiat 600's to assemble with their cars all in one place).
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first episode featured several set pieces with incomplete or radically different paint jobs, plain-Jane rope lighting around the spaces, a missing dice bridge for the ''Dados'' shortcut, and no watermelon chopping block at space 31. ''Every'' special space on the board was otherwise hit (the body painter, Flequi, the snake tunnel, the "death" space, the Cruel Roulette, etc.), likely to demonstrate how they all worked; the hosts also more thoroughly explained the contestants' progress to them. The challenges not involving the special spaces were generally much simpler than later in the run.
* EpicFail:
** Any time a contestant wound up with ''cero pesetas'', either by wagering everything and failing a challenge or (in later seasons) refusing to participate in one.
** Any time a contestant was given a number of things to accomplish (such as finding jewels in a giant styrofoam block) and failed to get even ''one''.
** Landing on Flequi and missing the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9zDfa9m3oc&t=00m57s first question]].
** One ''prueba'' involved being presented with a herd of 40 sheep and 10 goats, with the objective of putting only the ten goats inside the cage. One contestant accidentally [[HilarityEnsues let the whole herd in]] and was left to count down pretty much the entire final minute as the animals had decided they were through being moved around for the day.
** Pretty much [[CelebrityEdition Jacqueline De La Vega's]] entire stint as a contestant.
** One of the repeated ''pruebas'' from the third season involved swimming while carrying a flaming dish from one side of the pool to the other over slats in a floating bridge, without letting the fire go out by getting the dish's contents wet. One such playing resulted in the contestant extinguishing the fire about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu-5qp7D_bw&t=02m54s five seconds into the challenge]].
* ExpositoryThemeTune: The lyrics are an invitation for you as the viewer to come play the game yourself if you are brave and "feel like {{Superman}}''.
* EverythingsBetterWithCows: A two-person cow appeared onstage whenever milk was the mission sponsor.
* {{Fanservice}}: Pretty much ''any'' supporting cast member, and particularly the following:
** The ''Oquettes'' (likely a {{Portmanteau}} of ''Oca'' and Rockettes), a squad of eight girls basically clad in lingerie that "sang" the show's songs, performed various dances, escorted contestants landing on shortcuts to their new spaces, and participated in some of the challenges;
** The ''Chicas Oca'' ("Goose Girls"), who usually just hung out around the pool in swimsuits (usually one-piece, oddly enough), but occasionally assisted with some of the challenges;
** The ''Chicos Oca'' ("Goose Guys"), who usually wore nothing but spandex shorts and helped put the props for challenges together.
* FanDisservice: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6vcQhJIt_Y La fea besucona]]'' ("the ugly kissing lady") and her male counterpart ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSoepha8ZDs el mimoso pringoso]]'' ("the greasy lover"). A Q&A game was played with these characters in which failure to answer a question about good manners resulted in one of the above violently kissing the contestant (''la besucona'' kissed male contestants and vice versa); correct answers resulted in the host getting kissed instead.
* ForeShadowing: The electronic dice are pre-programmed, so when someone gets three-quarters of the way around the board in one or two turns, it is almost ''guaranteed'' that they will be going back to start.
** Averted once or twice, of course, to set up something [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzo-i0_QDzE much more entertaining]].

* GratuitousEnglish: Emilio, who is bilingual as seen whenever non-Spanish speaking guests were featured, used it frequently. Pepe had his share of it too, frequently saying in English what number space a contestant was currently on.
* GrossUpCloseUp: Especially when bugs or worms were featured. The crew had plenty of small cameras on long poles that they took great pleasure in putting about an inch away from whatever they were playing with.

Really the only time he went into jerk mode is when someone landed on his space or [[TemptingFate openly mentioned not wanting to end up there]]; he otherwise generally rooted on the contestants, accompanied several of them on ''Reocas'', and once even taunted Maxtor for losing to a contestant.
** Averted the next season with the new barber [[ReplacementScrappy Rizotín]], as he was generally a sarcastic {{Jerkass}} throughout the whole episode.

* VariableMix: A rare non-video game example. Depending on the setting of a ''prueba'' (funny, happy, dangerous, underwater, gross, industrial, etc.), a musical track of that style was played accordingly. As the challenge progressed, the composers played additional accompaniment on their keyboards - sometimes depending on what the contestant did, but also ensuring that the same musical track rarely, if ever, sounded the same twice.
!!This show also provides examples of:
* AbsurdlyHighStakesGame: Not only are you gambling tens of thousands of ''pesetas'' (and your dignity) with every challenge, some of them are [[DeadlyGame potentially deadly]].
* AffablyEvil / BreakoutCharacter: Flequi, the crazy barber in Season 1, full stop. He quickly and easily became the most popular character on the show, to a point where he was sent ''with'' the contestant on quite a few BonusRound missions toward the end of the run. He was referred to as "the most feared and most beloved" person on the show.
* TheBrute / ScaryBlackMan / ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Maxtor, who started beating the crap out of everyone immediately upon entering and against whom the contestant had to beat in a contest. A similar character named "Jimmy" appeared on occasion during the second season, although in more of an antagonist role rather than the contestant facing off against him head-to-head.
* ButtMonkey: Some of the contestants seem to get this treatment by landing on a combination of punishment spaces and/or ridiculously hard challenges. The second season produced several particularly egregious examples; one of the finalists landed on [[TheBarber Rizotín]] and then lost all of his money on the wheel on his last turn, therefore leaving with one of the worst haircuts ever handed out on the show and emptyhanded (though not without the money he won in his previous appearances).
* CameraAbuse: Happened by accident occasionally when gunge went flying on set, and played with a couple of times when Maxtor hit a sheet of plate glass with a hammer directly in front of the camera to make it look like he was smashing the camera.
* CatchPhrase: Many.
** "''Prueba superada''" for completed challenges, and "''Prueba no superada''" for failed ones.
** "''De oca a oca y tiro porque me toca.''" Originating from the actual board game, it translates loosely into "From goose to goose, I roll because it's my turn" and is said when a contestant lands on an ''Oca'' and has been sent forward.
** "''De dado a dado y tiro porque me ha tocado''", a similar phrase from the original game when a player lands on the "dice" shortcut.
* CelebrityEdition: Done twice; one on [[NewYearHasCome New Year's Eve]] and one in the spring.
* CheatersNeverProsper: Maxtor attempted it once, and the challenge was automatically awarded to the contestant.
* ChristmasEpisode: Featured Christmas decorations on set, several ''pruebas'' with a Christmas motif, the Oquettes dressed in Santa-esque outfits, the celebrity guest playing the part of Santa, numerous cast and crew members wearing Santa hats, and Flequi unveiling the final result of his "victim" via a Santa hat.
* ColourCodedCharacters: The contestants' outfits — red, yellow, green, and blue. Two each of the eight ''Oquettes'' represented a contestant's color as well; any time that contestant landed on a shortcut, those particular dancers escorted him or her to the end of it.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: The set is full of bright colors and cartoon geese painted everywhere, it's based on a children's board game, and the Oquettes sing happy songs throughout. When the game actually begins, however, you run into people who want to bodyslam you in mud, beat the crap out of you, lock you in cages with various creatures, blow you up inside cars, or cut all your hair off.
* CrowdChant: "¡Fle-qui! ¡Fle-qui! ¡Fle-qui!"
** Done with some contestants' names as well - most in 3/4 time, interestingly - as well as ''"¡Torero!"'' any time a contestant did something particularly brave.
** Maxtor had a slow one with a drumbeat, during which he would come out and beat the tar out of some of the very ones chanting his name!
* CrowdSong: "Olé olé olé", among others. The theme song itself, during many of the ''Reocas''.
* DancePartyEnding: Both the first and second season finales; see Awesome entry.
* DeadpanSnarker: Pepe Navarro, the main host in Season 2.
* DirtyOldMan: One older male contestant in particular who got to play in each of the first two seasons was made to look like one by being given most of the "sexy" challenges; over the course of the two shows he received body paint to the butt, had to fix a model's terrible "plastic surgery" using only his mouth, and was given the challenge of hiding ten jewels anywhere, yes ''anywhere'' on his body, with the intent of keeping a female celebrity (who was allowed to remove his clothes and do anything else necessary) from finding them all in a certain amount of time. Made even more hilarious in that the Spanish nickname for "dirty old man" translates to "old green ass" or simple "old green"... guess what color he was given to play in on both episodes.
* DontTryThisAtHome: Natch. Even more so when freak show acts were brought on to perform.
* DownerEnding: The single time a winner did not accomplish her ''Reoca'' and win the car (her mission was to get the owners of 600 Fiat 600's to assemble with their cars all in one place).
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first episode featured several set pieces with incomplete or radically different paint jobs, plain-Jane rope lighting around the spaces, a missing dice bridge for the ''Dados'' shortcut, and no watermelon chopping block at space 31. ''Every'' special space on the board was otherwise hit (the body painter, Flequi, the snake tunnel, the "death" space, the Cruel Roulette, etc.), likely to demonstrate how they all worked; the hosts also more thoroughly explained the contestants' progress to them. The challenges not involving the special spaces were generally much simpler than later in the run.
* EpicFail:
** Any time a contestant wound up with ''cero pesetas'', either by wagering everything and failing a challenge or (in later seasons) refusing to participate in one.
** Any time a contestant was given a number of things to accomplish (such as finding jewels in a giant styrofoam block) and failed to get even ''one''.
** Landing on Flequi and missing the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9zDfa9m3oc&t=00m57s first question]].
** One ''prueba'' involved being presented with a herd of 40 sheep and 10 goats, with the objective of putting only the ten goats inside the cage. One contestant accidentally [[HilarityEnsues let the whole herd in]] and was left to count down pretty much the entire final minute as the animals had decided they were through being moved around for the day.
** Pretty much [[CelebrityEdition Jacqueline De La Vega's]] entire stint as a contestant.
** One of the repeated ''pruebas'' from the third season involved swimming while carrying a flaming dish from one side of the pool to the other over slats in a floating bridge, without letting the fire go out by getting the dish's contents wet. One such playing resulted in the contestant extinguishing the fire about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu-5qp7D_bw&t=02m54s five seconds into the challenge]].
* ExpositoryThemeTune: The lyrics are an invitation for you as the viewer to come play the game yourself if you are brave and "feel like {{Superman}}''.
* EverythingsBetterWithCows: A two-person cow appeared onstage whenever milk was the mission sponsor.
* {{Fanservice}}: Pretty much ''any'' supporting cast member, and particularly the following:
** The ''Oquettes'' (likely a {{Portmanteau}} of ''Oca'' and Rockettes), a squad of eight girls basically clad in lingerie that "sang" the show's songs, performed various dances, escorted contestants landing on shortcuts to their new spaces, and participated in some of the challenges;
** The ''Chicas Oca'' ("Goose Girls"), who usually just hung out around the pool in swimsuits (usually one-piece, oddly enough), but occasionally assisted with some of the challenges;
** The ''Chicos Oca'' ("Goose Guys"), who usually wore nothing but spandex shorts and helped put the props for challenges together.
* FanDisservice: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6vcQhJIt_Y La fea besucona]]'' ("the ugly kissing lady") and her male counterpart ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSoepha8ZDs el mimoso pringoso]]'' ("the greasy lover"). A Q&A game was played with these characters in which failure to answer a question about good manners resulted in one of the above violently kissing the contestant (''la besucona'' kissed male contestants and vice versa); correct answers resulted in the host getting kissed instead.
* ForeShadowing: The electronic dice are pre-programmed, so when someone gets three-quarters of the way around the board in one or two turns, it is almost ''guaranteed'' that they will be going back to start.
** Averted once or twice, of course, to set up something [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzo-i0_QDzE much more entertaining]].
%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.
* GratuitousEnglish: Emilio, who is bilingual as seen whenever non-Spanish speaking guests were featured, used it frequently. Pepe had his share of it too, frequently saying in English what number space a contestant was currently on.
* GrossUpCloseUp: Especially when bugs or worms were featured. The crew had plenty of small cameras on long poles that they took great pleasure in putting about an inch away from whatever they were playing with.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Flequi. Really the only time he went into jerk mode is when someone landed on his space or [[TemptingFate openly mentioned not wanting to end up there]]; he otherwise generally rooted on the contestants, accompanied several of them on ''Reocas'', and once even taunted Maxtor for losing to a contestant.
** Averted the next season with the new barber [[ReplacementScrappy Rizotín]], as he was generally a sarcastic {{Jerkass}} throughout the whole episode.
* KickTheDog: Part of Maxtor's act as he came out was to have "extras" in the audience to beat up, some of which were wearing slings or were otherwise "handicapped".
* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Maxtor again, as part of the above schtick.
* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: After landing on Flequi, one contestant's [[ImpossibleTask third question]] was to guess exactly how many millimeters a woman in the 18th century let her hair grow over the course of 52 years without cutting it. The contestant responded "3 1/2 meters" (3,500 mm), while the actual answer was 3,'''''650''''' mm. They actually started to go to the judge until [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay5C60BHcWI&t=02m53s Flequi took matters into his own hands.]]
* MasqueradeBall: Played straight with the ''Carnaval'' (Mardi Gras) episode; everyone wore masks with goose bills attached to them.
* MinigameGame: Consisted of ''pruebas'' in three or four different forms: those that appeared every show and were assigned a specific space (the wall, chopping watermelons, and the "punishment" spaces, to name a few, although this did not mean they were actually played every episode); those that appeared regularly but were not assigned a space (most notably ''Beso y tortazo'', the "kiss or slap" game); those that appeared only a handful of times throughout the run; and those that were only played once.
* ObstacleExposition: Done in detail before every ''prueba''.
* ThePratfall: Happened so often (including once to Lydia) that the sound effects guy seemed to always have one finger on the "floop" button for whenever it happened.
* RearrangeTheSong: Done when the show was brought back as ''El nuevo juego de la oca''.
* RedRightHand: Maxtor, who has a "glass eye" as part of his costume.
* RuleOfThree: You were asked three questions on the haircut space, the third of which was [[UnwinnableByDesign always impossible]] to answer.
* RunningGag: Many, but Alberto Murroni (the knife thrower) asking to close the stage gates (to avoid potentially dangerous wind interference) became one of the most recognizable.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3c9sw23TAtw Elvirichi]], an opera singer on an early Season 3 episode, refuses to attempt a ''prueba'' involving jumping off a high platform. Later episodes cut to her still on the platform with everyone trying to convince her to jump off.
* {{Sampling}}: The end of the ThemeTune and the cut-to-commercial music both sample the opening bar of "Stars and Stripes Forever".
* ScaryStingingSwarm: One challenge required the contestant to transport combs from an active beehive from one room in a tightly enclosed space to another and extract the honey into a jar in the second room.
* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAhnh47cNKY&t=00m055s Natalia]], an attractive young contestant who chose to give up all her money (which, in her defense, wasn't that much to begin with) rather than to submit her flowing blonde tresses to the whims of Rizotín. Came close when she participated a season earlier as well, when she was too afraid to attempt ''Paca la alpaca'' and just stood in the cage with it pretty much the whole time.
* ShoutOut: Various challenges were themed around ''Film/DoubleImpact'', ''Franchise/IndianaJones'', ''Series/MissionImpossible'' and ''{{Literature/Aladdin}}'', among others. A [[https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150419714840157 pitchfilm]] by the show's original creator Jocelyn Hattab for a current, updated version features set areas and challenges based on ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' and ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean''.
* SignatureSoundEffect: '''TONS.''' Try finding a five second clip of the show where they are ''not'' playing some kind of sound effect, except for maybe the super dangerous challenges. These ranged from the standard cartoon flips, whoops and bloops, to sound bites of the hosts saying things, to random words.
* SteadiCam: Often shown, as the show did not go to great lengths to hide the cameras. The operator was also credited individually, and Emilio pointed it out on at least one occasion.
* TemptingFate: The sheer number of female contestants that mentioned at the beginning of the game either not wanting to land on Flequi or that they were indifferent to him altogether strangely ended up in his chair about 90 percent of the time. One in particular mentioned her grandparents putting out candles and praying to every saint in the Catholic faith that she wouldn't end up there... you probably already know the rest of the story. For male contestants, merely ''[[GenreBlindness coming to the show]]'' [[WhatAnIdiot with long hair]] was generally more than enough to guarantee their getting sent there.
* TheThunderdome: The cage near the end of the board. Aside from several separate challenges that took place in or involved the cage, if you landed on the space directly in front of its entrance, you had to enter the cage, strap yourself to a bungee cord, and retrieve a key from the backside of a girl who was also on a bungee cord. In all three seasons, the explanation of the challenge always clearly stated that there were no rules; the girl could do ''anything'' to stop you from taking the key.
* UnexpectedlyObscureAnswer: Played with, in that the final question in the haircut game was always impossible.
* UnwinnableByDesign: The aforementioned barber's space, as well as a challenge in which a contestant had to wager money that a professional magician would ''not'' successfully perform an everyday sleight-of-hand trick.
* VariableMix: A rare non-video game example. Depending on the setting of a ''prueba'' (funny, happy, dangerous, underwater, gross, industrial, etc.), a musical track of that style was played accordingly. As the challenge progressed, the composers played additional accompaniment on their keyboards - sometimes depending on what the contestant did, but also ensuring that the same musical track rarely, if ever, sounded the same twice.

* PieInTheFace: Turned UpToEleven with a "pie catapult" game in which the contestant had to catch a number of pies with his face. The entire segment, including the aftermath, is one of the [[FunnyMoments/ElGranJuegoDeLaOca funniest things to ever happen on the show]].

* LevelAte: One ''prueba'' involved a contestant crawling through the layers of a [[GiantFood giant birthday cake]] filled with icing, then [[JumpingOutOfACake coming out the top]] and lighting the candles.
* WombLevel: Given a head start, the contestant had to escape from a narrow inflatable tunnel comprised of what could only be described as an intestine-like material coated in red goo before Maxtor got a hold of him.

* AffablyEvil / BreakoutCharacter: Flequi, the crazy barber in Season 1, full stop. He quickly and easily became the most popular character on the show, to a point where he was sent ''with'' the contestant on quite a few BonusRound missions toward the end of the run. He was referred to as "the most feared and most beloved" person on the show.

* TheBrute / ScaryBlackMan / ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Maxtor, who started beating the crap out of everyone immediately upon entering and against whom the contestant had to beat in a contest. A similar character named "Jimmy" appeared on occasion during the second season, although in more of an antagonist role rather than the contestant facing off against him head-to-head.

* ObstacleExposition: Done in detail before every ''prueba''.
* ThePratfall: Happened so often (including once to Lydia) that the sound effects guy seemed to always have one finger on the "floop" button for whenever it happened.
* RearrangeTheSong: Done when the show was brought back as ''El nuevo juego de la oca''.

* BewareTheSuperman: A couple of early episodes featured ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiBCcsYXItA Calzoncillo Man]]'', a clumsy, underwear-clad "superhero" who hijacked the show during someone's turn, created his own ''prueba'' for the contestant to perform, and then did things during the ''prueba'' to "help" the contestant (read: make the challenge hilariously impossible).

* TemptingFate: The sheer number of female contestants that mentioned at the beginning of the game either not wanting to land on Flequi or that they were indifferent to him altogether strangely ended up in his chair about 90 percent of the time. One in particular mentioned her grandparents putting out candles and praying to every saint in the Catholic faith that she wouldn't end up there... you probably already know the rest of the story. For male contestants, merely ''[[GenreBlindness coming to the show]]'' [[WhatAnIdiot with long hair]] was generally more than enough to guarantee their getting sent there.
