Misuse


* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Both literally (since both Trino and Jis, their authors, were former drug users, especially using ''peyote''), hence the existence of Peyote Asesino (a regular villain), and figuratively, since the whole comic is [[MindScrew a real acid trip]].

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* TooBleakStoppedCaring: This is one of the widely-held opinions that really hurt the movie as a whole: despite being a comedy, practically '''everyone''' is an asshole, a wacko, or a pervert in some degree and most of the ToiletHumor is used ''for the hell of it'' rather to have some sense in the plot of the film. The only sympathetic character is Corporal Valdivia and he's the designated ButtMonkey. Another fact that alienated the Mexican audience is [[spoiler:the not-so-implied message the ''[[DesignatedHero so-called heroes]]'' and the audience watching the film are not so different]]. This is somewhat intended by WordOfGod, as Trino was trying to show almost [[spoiler:every single negative stereotype the Mexicans have about themselves and raised UpToEleven]].

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: Trino and Jis aren't subtle when they try to give a message, especially in the film:
** [[spoiler:'''StopBeingStereotypical''']]
** [[spoiler:Just because you're a JerkAss doesn't give you the right to ruin the lives of the people who are smarter and better than you]].
** The animated film gives another message which is also a subversion of the first two: [[spoiler:Even if you want to change the "retrograde" mentality of your countrymen, trying to doing that by violent or vile means will make you even worse than the people you're trying to supposedly "educate"]].
