[[caption-width-right:333:Pepe Argento, victim of a universe turned against him]]

Pepe Argento (AKA: Al Bundy) is the father of the Argento family. His life is a complete hell, in all possible manners you can conceive... and then some others.

----

* TheAce: Prior to his marriage.
** BrokenAce
* AlphaCouple: With Moni.
* AwfulWeddedLife: If you ask him...
* ButtMonkey
* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: With his family, and perhaps with María Elena too, if the series finale is anything to go by.
* TheChewToy
* ChickMagnet: Turns into one in an episode, much to Moni's dismay.
* DeusAngstMachina: He lost his chances to be a football player, he has a lazy wife that is always asking for sex, two mistakes of nature as children, a dog that just stays there, a pathetic job, ugly and demanding customers, a neighbour that hates him and always tries to humiliate him, perpetual poverty... and that's just the Status Quo, each new episode provides yet another way of being turned down.
* GoKartingWithBowser: He played football with Death himself!
* ICouldaBeenAContender: He wistfully thinks that he could have been a player of "Club Atlético Racing Club", but unfortunately for him, it could not be.
* JadedWashout: Argentinian version of the former trope namer.
* SmiteMeOMightySmiter: Pepe always complains to "Barba" (a nickname for God, lit. "beard") about his pathetic life and all the ways the entire universe turns against him.
* TranquilFury: When he wants to kill his wife. Once, he even attempted to do it, but got constantly interrupted by other anti-climactic events when he took a knife and marched towards her.

[[folder:Monica "Moni" Argento]]

!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/FlorenciaPena

Moni Argento (AKA: Margaret "Peggy" Bundy) is Pepe's wife. All she wants in life is to have sex with him and watch Susana Giménez on the TV.

----

* AlphaBitch: It's revealed in the episode of her high school reunion that she was one back in the day.
%%** LovableAlphaBitch
%%* AlphaCouple: With Pepe.
* CatchPhrase:
** "¡Cafecitooooo!" (Coffee!) when something goes to hell.
** "¡Callate, mierda!" (Shut up you turd!) when silencing the stupid antics of her children.
** When she, angry, says the word "mierda", she tends to draw out the first syllable and roll the R.
* DeadpanSnarker: She has her moments, most often with Pepe and María Elena.
* DreadfulMusician: She tends to break out into song-and-dance numbers, and (unwilling) spectators often react poorly.
%%* DumbBlonde
%%* EasilyForgiven
* HumbleGoal: Just have passionate sex with Pepe for more than 5 minutes. Is that so much to ask for?
%%* ImprobableHairstyle
%%* KarmaHoudini
* LazyBum: Watches TV all day, while neglecting to do basic tasks like grocery shopping and feeding her children.
* LovableSexManiac: Much to the horror of her husband, Moni has bouts of sexual desire for him.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: With María Elena. María Elena is always angry, violent, resented and plotting vengeance against Pepe, while Moni simply wants to see half-naked men and have sex with her husband.

%%* DumbBlonde
%%* TheDitz
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She does have a good heart, and cares about her family and defends them, for instance defending Coqui at school.
* LovableAlphaBitch: A few moments hinted this. The most notable one is when she tied up a girl in front of the school wearing just her underwear, for everyone to see (then again, she ''did'' deserve it after doing something similar to Coqui previously).
* MayDecemberRomance: She briefly dates the state governor, but leaves him upon finding out he's married.
%%* MsFanservice
* PutOnABus: Due to the actress being unavailable at the time of filming, Paola was sent to a modeling school for some episodes of the second season.
