History YMMV / TreintaYUnMinutos

* CriticalDissonance: TheMovie was critically acclaimed and has appeared in multiple lists calling it one of the best Chilean movies ever made. The reception among the fanbase is more mixed, with some fans agreeing it's great and the other half seeing it as an poor take on the show with a ClicheStorm plot and poor characterizations.

* NoYay: One episode has Juanin reuniting Juan Carlos Bodoque with all of his girlfriends in a poor attempt to cheer him up. One of the puppets used to represent one of his girlfriends was used in a previous episode [[CreepyUncle to represent his niece]].

** Juan Carlos Bodoque's Green Reports often portray him as clueless and reckless in therms of knowing about taking care of the environment, just so he can learn the lesson of the week. While, Juan Carlos Bodoque being clueless about the thing he's suppose to be reporting wouldn't be out of character, it also exists the possibily that these segments are fictional in-universe as well and that he enjoys making something more dynamic that simply reporting about an specific issue.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Policarpo. While he blatantly disregards the public opinion of the songs he selects fot his ranking, in the episode "Vacaciones", he is shown to also hate the song "Bailan Sin Cesar" and even claim he's starting to have a headache upon hearing it as Cindy Miraflores' ringtone. Does this mean he disregards even ''his'' opinion and just randomly picks the songs in his rating? Or that he just grew to hate the song over time?

* BrokenBase: As stated below, the DarkerAndEdgier the series became it suffered a loss of viewership due to TooBleakStoppedCaring, but for a good fraction of it the show becomes all the more unique and funny due to it, even welcoming the fladerization of the characters.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Go to [=YouTube=] and watch any episode with "Zorro Buena Onda" ("Good Vibes Fox") on it and you'll find many people in support of this character.

** While "Ríe" is supposed to be a parody of cheerful songs[[note]](in the vein of the homonymous theme song of the Chilean sketch show ''Jappening con Ja'')[[/note]] by being as depressive as possible, its actual message is often interpreted in that since [[FinaglesLaw anything can go wrong]] ([[FailureIsTheOnlyOption no matter what]]) one don't need to take life too seriously, which is seen by many as genuinely helpful.

** Everything about Tio Horacio. Being a complete sell-out of a TV host with an actual criminal record and no idea what "Children's Rights" even are, a general parody of all the excesses of the "good" old days, will do that
** The gag in Season 2 involving the show looking for a sponsor to stay on air was this for some of the younger audiences at the time. One of the sponsors shown in the episode is a brand of musical cups marketed as "[[BlatantLies perfectly safe children's toys]]", which Patana demonstrates. [[https://youtu.be/7ZyAxYCbHWQ?t=167 Cue her accidentally pressing too hard on them and getting a cut on her finger]], which Tulio argues couldn't happen since they're "such a safe toy for kids!". Cut to Patana's finger shooting off blood like a garden hose. Cut back to Tulio smacking his desk and causing the precarious arrangement of cups to go flying all over the studio, injuring Juanin and some extras. And by injuring, we mean [[RefugeInAudacity embedding two entire cups in his head, with visible blood on his fur, while a production assistant walks into frame in the same predicament]], and [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction Policarpo walks by, completely unbothered by the cup stuck in his head]]. Circles back around to funny once the firemen immediately show up, and declare the glass strewn on the floor to be "The most dangerous glass they've ever seen", while Tulio sobs in the background before the show cuts to another segment. Excessive? Certainly. Scary to little kids watching the show? Most likely. [[RefugeInAudacity Hilarious]]? ''Absolutely''.

** Calcetin con Rombos Man visiting a FracturedFairyTale version of Pinocchio in which after becoming a real boy Gepetto show's enormous success and the Blue Fairy marry... and then they become neglectful parents who only watch tv and binge drink all day until the TV breaks? Disturbing. Calcetin's solution being putting Pinocchio inside the broken TV where his adoptive parents actually pay him attention if that's by laughing at his face and mocking his act. Fun as hell. The implication that this IS the sincere happy ending, YMMV if even funnier or more disturbing.

** One segment after Music/MichaelJackson's death had MJ coming back to life (as a puppet, of course) just because he wanted to be interviewed by Tulio. But Tulio says he never liked him as a singer, and bluntly tells him to "go die again", after which MJ promptly keels over dead. Controversial? Possibly. But in a show like this? Absolutely hysterical.

*** "Primero: No soy su amigo. Segundo: ¿Quién es usted? Tercero: ¿Qué le importa?" (First of all, I'm not your friend. Second of all, who are you? And third of all, why do you even care?)

* SacredCow: Among Latin American, particulary Chilean audiences this is pretty much one of the best shows (if not the best) shows ever made in Chile, saying you dislike the series or find it overrated in a Spanish community is an easy way to draw ire from non insignificant portion of fans.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs think of a news show with puppets [[AnimateInanimateObject talking objects]] and (sometimes) [[NonSequitur non sequitur]] and [[SurrealHumor absurdist humor]]

** The songs featured in Policarpo's Ranking Top were very well received. Records with them were released and live performances are a large part of the stage shows, there's even a cover album with covers by famous Latin American artists such as {{Music/Belanova}} and Natalia Lafourcade.

* ValuesDissonance: The show's brand of humor could sink to very crass lows at times. A good chunk of the cast are shown to be rather sexist early on, even when that's presented as the setup for the lesson of the day. However, as the show progressed and editorial oversight became more relaxed, a lot of humor started basing itself around homophobic depictions of characters, as well as shockingly racist depictions of black and Asian people; which was rather shocking for a show that, at the same time, spent time trying to educate audiences about other minority and indigenous groups in the country.[[note]]And even then, there was a good deal of controversy relating to the choice of puppets used to represent said indigenous groups, namely their pig-looking snouts and broken teeth.[/note]] After cancellation, the show's characters have shown up in advertising and {{PSA}}s for all sorts of noble causes, which makes it shocking for new audiences to go back to the show and see some of the aforementioned humor. Part of it is considered FairForItsDay, as Chilean comedy in general was going through a period of intense Political Incorrectness following the 90s that led to the early 2000s taking strongly to shock humor in most spaces, as culture and society adjusted to a return to democracy after a particularly repressive dictatorship. While there was some backlash during its run, the show ran on a particularly conservative network run semi-privately by the then-strictly conservative government, so complaints of homophobia, racism and sexism fell on deaf ears.

** [[invoked]] On a related note, however, there was a good deal of controversy relating to the choice of puppets used to represent a few indigenous groups, namely [[UnfortunateImplications their pig-looking snouts and broken teeth]].

** Patana Tufillo, depending on who you ask, balances out the cast's sausage fest and adds a more grounded perspective to the antics of the show, or is a bland and uninteresting addition with little development. Her voice actress also turned to a subject of controversy outside of the show. It is important to notice that how much [[OnlySaneMan grounded]] Patana is depends entirely on RuleOfFunny, as she can be as flawed as the rest of the cast at times, and in her introductory episode she was a ParodySue.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: ''Los Títeres'' was the name of an actual Chilean soap-opera from the 80's, where the main theme was that fate controlled everyone's actions, like a puppet's strings. They even use the same theme song.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The songs featured in Policarpo's Ranking Top were very well received. Records with them were released and live performances are a large part of the stage shows, there's even a cover album with covers by famous latinoamerican artists such as {{Music/Belanova}} and Natalia Lafourcade.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Due to a mixture of the show's enormous success and the lowered standards of Chilean non-cable children's television in the mid-2000s, coupled with the writers' own surreal dark and sarcastic sense of humor, the show at times resembles less a kids' edutainment show and more an Adult Swim parody of one. [[note]]It's believed that this is also what led to its decline in quality, as later seasons with more cynical humor fared worse in ratings, leading to the cancellation in favor of a movie that was stuck in DevelopmentHell for a few years, and a move to international markets where, while enjoying great critical success and a strong international following, the show struggled to fit in with the tighter editorial standards of larger networks, and so only the first few seasons saw widespread release. [[WordOfGod According to the writers]], part of the reason the show was allowed to get away with as much as it did was because the writers and showrunners acknowledged that the audience of the show was growing older, but also partially that the show already had a strong foothold in the [[PeripheryDemographic teen to young adult demographic]].[[/note]]

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The first three seasons are very much of a product of early 2000s Chile, and it shows. One early episode, "Benjamín Listillo", has Tulio saying at the end of a note that is calculated for 2015, [[ItMakesSenseInContext more than 70% of gloves will be obese if nothing is done about it]], which immediately dates this episode before the year 2015.

* CommonKnowledge: It is believed that part of the reason why the show began as a straightforward edutainment show and slowly became primarily a parody of Chilean television is because the writers needed funding through government grants to television; and therefore, the main reason why the show was eventually cancelled was both the lowered ratings and the same government grant being rescinded once the show couldn't be reasonably considered educational anymore. There is, however, no solid evidence of any of this, beyond the acknowledgment of government funding in the show's credits. Besides that, funding wasn't strictly monitored, as other shows for children with little to no educational content were also granted government funding. [[CommonKnowledge Once again, it is believed this was done in order to compete with the two growing cable providers in the country at the time]], but there's no evidence to suggest this either.

** Season 3's "El video" is very notorious example. In this episode, Tulio and friends are watching funny videos about their daily lifes on VHS as part of their annual coexistence event. Then Tulio's video is shown (which is Tulio peeing at an archaeological site while exclaiming "recorcholis") and it turns out to be the best video of them all, leading to giving away individual VHS copies of his video to each of his friends, with the only condition that they must not tell or show anyone about the video or otherwise his reputation would be ruined, which is the first thing everyone ([[WhatAnIdiot including Tulio]]) does. Considering that not only [[TechnologyMarchesOn VHS have been largely phased out]], but the rise of video websites like Website/YouTube would make the first act of the episode much faster. Even by the time the episode was released (2005), VHS were already obsolete and the following year they would be discontinued.

* ParanoiaFuel: This is felt by Tulio in the first episode after having an argument with "Sr. Invisible mudo", being unsure if he actually left, although it's rather PlayedForLaughs

** Mario Hugo gets a few as well, mainly from his seaside vacation:

* MemeticMutation: Too many to count in Chilean and general Latin American circles; most of them lines from Juan Carlos Bodoque. These include:
** "Nunca hbaía visto tanta caca junta. Fue un espectáculo impresionante" (I had never seen so much crap together in one place. It was an impressive show)
** "Que buena frase. Anótala, Mario Hugo" (What a good phrase! Write it down, Mario Hugo)
** "Primero: No soy su amigo. Segundo: ¿Quién es usted? Tercero: ¿Qué le importa?" (First of all, I'm not your friend. Second of all, who are you? And third of all, why do you even care?)
** "A ver, cactus, quédate quieto un momento... '''AAAH!'''" (Alright, cactus, stay still for a second... AAAH!)

** Everything about Tio Horacio.
