* 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.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: In the 1976 version of Doctor Chapatín's skit "El Gato", the patient, played by Ramón Valdéz, asks Doctor Chapatín when he would recover from the accident, upon which Chapatín asks his nurse for a calendar of year 1988. Ramón Valdéz would die precisely in 1988.

** In "La herencia del Botija (Parte 2)", Chompiras and Chimoltrufia reclutantly nearly married each other so Botija can be declared single and inherent a huge amount of money. In real life, Chespirito and Flortinda Meza were already a couple by then, and eventually married.

Deleting shoehorns. The actors simply died. And there has always been quarantines before COVID-19.


* FunnyAneurysmMoment: In the plots for two sketches, the Chompiras is assumed by his friends to have died. This can be harder to watch ever since Chespirito's death in 2014.
* HarsherInHindsight: The entire premise of the episode "La cuarentena en el hotel" becomes this after the COVID-19 pandemic.
** In some episodes, either Licenciado Morales or Sargento Refugio are put in life-threatening situations. While the situations were PlayedForDrama, they can be harder to watch after their actors passed away in real life.

In some is to avoid a debt, and in others is due to one of them believeing the other is having an affair.[[/note]]. As of writing, their actors (alongside Maria Antonieta de las Nieves and Carlos Villagran) would be the few members of Chespirito's trope to remain alive.

* HilariousInHindsight: In the 1993 version of the episode "Las Gemelas", Maruja's twin sister is seen by la Chimoltrufia stealing Hotel Lucho's money, and she accuses Maruja of the crine. The subsequent confusion leads to Botija concluding that Maruja has an SplitPersonality who stole the money. Botija then calls her "a woman multiplified by two", but el Chompiras says she's actually "cut in a half" (referring to the Maruja's short stature). Ironically, subsequent investigations proved that people with split personalities are indeed people psychlogically "cut in a half" (or in more parts), as their split personalities are actually fragmented parts of their psyche instead of added personalities. This means that, in a way, Chompiras was actually ''closer'' to accurately define split personalities than Botija.
