The series got two seasons (Season 2 releasing in 2009), the first of which is the most remembered and beloved by fans. ''Diego y Glot'' is known as one of the most beloved Chilean animated series along with ''WesternAnimation/LosPulentos'' that was also aired the same year (and on the same channel) as this one.

9	!!The series provided examples of:
10	* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: The dog Glot is a mutt with green and white fur.
11	* BigEater: Danilo, not just always eating, but thinking about food all the time.
12	* TheBully: "Mamo," who always steals Diego's lunch.
13	* CircusEpisode: The aptly-titled episode "Circo."
14	* CoolBigBro: Lalo, not just for Diego, as he is also considered as this for Diego's friends.
15	* CueTheRain: In "Vacaciones," Diego, Danilo, Violeta, Droguett, and Glot are wandering around on an unknown island. In their traveling, Glot finds a cave. Both Danilo and Violeta say they can use the cave to stay for the night, but Droguett says he will not go inside the cave, not even with rain going from bottom to top. Right when he finishes saying that, it starts to rain heavily, and they immediately go inside the cave.
16	* EjectTheLoser: In "Super Familia," after [[spoiler:the Plá Perez family lose in the finals of the "Super Familia" contest, Don Francisco gives an order to the "Chacal de la Trompeta" to pull a lever, dropping the whole family through the floor and sending them outside the studios of Canal 76.]]
17	* EveryoneHatesMimes: In 'Vacaciones," before Armando's anger explodes due to the heat, he punches out a mime who was following him, sending it offscreen.
18	* {{Expy}}: Being mostly based on these two series, ''Diego y Glot'' is known as the Chilean ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' mixed with ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold''.
19	* FullMoonSilhouette: In "Doble de cuerpo." At one point, where Diego and his friends are going in bike to see Eliseo, all bikes start to fly, referencing the famous E.T scene. The major difference is that in this case, the sky is red instead of blue like in the original scene.
20	* GottaPassTheClass: The plot of "Doble de cuerpo" is triggered by Danilo failing so many classes, that he must take a math leveling test. If Danilo doesn't pass it, he must repeat the grade.
21	* GRatedStoner: Lalo, Diego's big brother, is usually treated InUniverse and in charcter descriptions as "lazy" and "clumsy."
22	* InsigniaRipOffRitual: A CutawayGag in "Doble de cuerpo" shows Danilo as an ancient soldier, while a higher-rank officer at his side who looks very similar to Cáceres, rips off his insignias and breaks his sword in half.
23	* LastNameBasis: Ismael Droguett, the only of Diego's friends who's called by his surname, Droguett, instead by his first name like everyone else.
24	* {{Mythology}}: The episode "Vacaciones" where the family goes to Chiloé, an island off the South of Chile full of its own mythologies and {{Fairy Tale}}s, various of which are referenced (and even made important parts of the plot) in this episode.
25	* NameAndName: Diego and Glot.
26	* OncePerEpisode: Every episode has a song in the background that represents the whole episode which is replayed in the credits.
27	* PersonalRaincloud: In "Doble de cuerpo." Inside the Liceo Pablo Neruda, just at the moment Danilo is asked to go to Rectory, a cloud passes right over his head, complete with thunder and rain.
28	%% * ThePowerOfFriendship
29	* {{Sitcom}}: The first animated one and one of the most known in Chilean TV after ''Los Venegas''.
30	* SickEpisode: "Mala Pata" is this for Violeta. It's the reason why she isn't in the classroom during the oral test. Diego, Danilo, Droguett, and Glot visit her to see the football match together. At the end of the episode, Diego is sick from the same illness Violeta had.
31	* SpinOff: ''Diego y Glot'' had some mini-series used by Chilean government as {{Edutainment}} shorts, like ''Diego y Glot Consumidores''[[note]]Diego and Glot Consumers[[/note]] (about how to read contracts, compare prices, and differentiate between credit and debit cards) and ''Brigada de la Energía''[[note]]Energy Brigade[[/note]] (an energy efficiency campaign).
32	* ToiletHumour: Almost half of the episodes of the first season run on this.
33	** One of the most blatant examples of this is the episode "Vigilante," for three reasons: First, Danilo's fart causes Droguett to be left behind. Second, the plan that Danilo tells Droguett involves throwing balloons with feces inside them. And third, feces float in a jar that Diego shows to Droguett.
34	* {{Tomboy}}: Violeta, considered as OneOfTheBoys in the group, at least in the first season.
35	* VacationEpisode: The aptly-titled episode "Vacaciones," where Diego, along with his family and friends, go to Chiloé.
36	* WingdingEyes: In "Kiltro," it happens three times:
37	** The first time is when Diego sees the poster for the dog contest. His eyes turn into peso sign eyes, complete with cash register sound.
38	** The second one goes further. When Diego knows that he will receive a check for the apparance of Glot in a commercial, his, Danilo's, and Droguett's eyes turn into peso sign eyes, complete with a cash register sound, and a one million pesos bill background of different colors for each one of the three.
39	** When Inspector Caceres receives the check instead of Diego, the eyes of the latter turn into flaming eyes, a burning background is around him, and a fire alarm sounds.
40	* WorldOfTechnicolorHair: Most of the characters of the series have different hair colors, including green, purple, blue, and bright red.
