* ValuesDissonance: A certain moment in one of the Q&A segments of "Los supergenios de la mesa cuadrada" gives Doctor Chapatín the implication that he's attracted to minors. The moment is PlayedForLaughs!
--> '''María Antonieta:''' It is well-known that Doctor Chapatín can get the heart of any woman no matter the age difference. Would he marry a 28-year-old woman?\\
'''Dr. Chapatín:''' I prefer two that are 14.

Added DiffLines:

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Despite Ramón Valdés' brief return in 1981, his character Peterete, from the original 70s incarnation, wasn't brought back. While Botija had already replaced him on the duo with Chómpiras, Peterete's return could have allowed them to interact as a trio, even if for only one episode. However, Valdés' only appearance in the 80s version of ''Los Caquitos'' had him play a police officer instead.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The Brazilian dub for the series, released in 2001 (albeit only the episodes from the 90s) received a large amount of criticism due to its several differences compared to the classic episodes of ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'' and ''Series/ElChapulinColorado''. Some of them include the largely different dubbing cast, especially for El Chavo himself; the absence of Carlos Villagrán and Ramón Valdés, with the latter already having passed away at this point; the completely different soundtrack; the more advanced age of the actors; and occasional use of crude jokes and vulgar language that weren't present in the original episodes. While the dub for the other characters besides Chavo and Chapulín was considered more acceptable, the two aforementioned characters are still the most iconic, so it impacted the audience negatively.

* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Chespirito's major recurring characters fall all along the spectrum. At the most noble, we have Chapulín Colorado, who is cowardly but devotes himself completely to helping others. Next we have El Chavo, who is generally very kind-hearted and honest, even if he might tell tiny lies or steal small bits of bread just to get a chance to eat. Smack in the middle of the scale of Chaparrón Bonaparte who lacks enough awareness to truly be moral or amoral. Moving towards cynicism, there is Chómpiras, who is a thief but still very soft-hearted, steals mainly to survive and would never do anything to harm anyone. And probably the most cynical is Dr. Chapatín, who is a healer but is truly only driven by money and rarely thinks of the needs of anyone except himself.
** The less famous Vicente Chambón is probably as close to full idealism as Chapulín. Although his principal weakness is bumbling, a recurring idea in his skits is that he fails as a news reported because he is too kind-hearted to expose anyone who would prefer to keep their privacy. Some fans prefer to believe that Chambón is the Clark Kent to Chapulin's Superman.
