* TheOtherDarrin: Very noticeable in the Spanish version with Pocoyo, even though he only ever speaks a few words. His new voice [[CrossDressingVoices actress]] in the 2016 reboot makes him sound very high-pitched and girlish, as opposed to the original series, where he sounded more like an actual male toddler.
* ReferencedBy: In the ''WesternAnimation/JellyJamm'' episode "Great Student", Mina is giving Rita a lecture on how complex science is and ends her speech by stating she saw a duck in a green hat and a pink elephant wearing a tutu - referencing ''Pocoyo'' characters Pato and Elly, respectively - to see if Rita was paying attention. She wasn't. [[CompanyCrossReferences (The guy who created Pocoyo also made Jelly Jamm.)]]

** Originally, Pocoyo was supposed to be nonverbal and suck on a pacifier all the time.
