* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Checker is intended to be a ditzy yet well-meaning worker. The problem is that he is a rapist who regularly molests and sexually harasses his subordinates and tries to force himself on Negas, with the heavy implication he does this to all new recruits at the maquila.

** Random Soldier from the ''Cherc'' sketches. He wants to be friends with Cherc and Donkey so badly, no matter how much the former treats him like crap. Even R.A.L and Donkey think Cherc goes too far.
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Negas himself. OnlySaneMan or a hypocritical cynic who's quick to judge everyone? Is he any better than the various workers at the maquila? Or is he actively shunning and mocking those who don't meet his high standards, even if it's for reasons that are shallow?
** Some episodes focused on Checker imply that he is more mature than the Negas-episodes usually gives him credit for; it's just that we normally see him through Negas's perspective, as the ditzy homosexual coworker.

** Don Cuco gets some of this too. R.A.L admitted that the character was intended to be unlikable, but some viewers feel that his low tolerance for Niño Ratta's disruptive behaviour was usually justified.
** Ral. Is he truly oblivious to the bizarreness of Chihuahua, or did he notice but simply didn't care? Is he truly the GoodCounterpart to Negas as R.A.L claims? Doesn't help that he can be as selfish and dismissive as his brother.



* BaseBreakingCharacter:
** Checker is either a hilarious LovableSexManiac or an OverusedRunningGag with an annoying voice.
** Ñoñostacio is either a cool OtakuSurrogate with a naive personality or annoying for the same reason (and his obesssion with Monchiro).

* BaseBreakingCharacter:
BaseBreakingCharacter: Really, every other character in the show is either this or a straight-up Scrappy, with very few that can count as being universally loved (or at least tolerated) by the whole fandom. The standout examples include:
** Checker is either a hilarious LovableSexManiac funny LovableSexManiac, or an OverusedRunningGag a smug jerk that gets away with an annoying voice.
** Ñoñostacio is either a cool OtakuSurrogate
his constant harrassment because the narrative will bend over backwards for him. This has only intensified in later years with a naive increasing attention being paid to toxic workplace environments and dynamics.
** Ñoñostacio. His fans adore his bubbly
personality or annoying for the same reason (and and enjoy his obesssion increased role in later sketches while his detractors find his naivete nauseating and his obsession with Monchiro).Momchiro irritating.
** There is no question that Niño Ratta is a massively cringeworthy weirdo. Whether that's hilarious or unpleasant to watch is up for debate.



* BrokenBase: As gathered from SeasonalRot below, fan opinion is sharply divided as to when/if the series started going downhill. Depending on who you ask, the show either went downhill once the R.A.L gave more attention to Niño Ratta and Poppa Peg, or after ''Don Makila'''s final season. While others think R.A.L's animations stayed consistent throughout their whole run.

* SeasonalRot: ''Don Makila'''s later season. Not only the art has decreased in quality, but everyone has gotten flanderized. Negas gets angry for no reason, Checker can't go two lines without saying innuendos, Ñoñostacio is obsessed with Monchiro and Paulo has been reduced to a complete moron.

* DracoInLeatherPants:
** Negas has fans who ignore how cynic, antisocial and unpleasant he is all because of his good looks and how relatable he can be. It doesn't help that he was actually a relatively sympathetic character prior to leaving Chihuahua to work at the maquila.
** Pinchimono gets this treatment due to his short-tempered, bad attitude and sociopathy. Even though in-universe his aggression sometimes goes too far, his biggest fans just view him as a badass or as a MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold, all in the name of shipping him with Negas.
** Ral. He's not villainous, but fans tend to forget his more unsavory traits and in fanfics he's reduced to a typical cute child and Negas's MoralityPet.

Apparently the reason the creator used him so much was because he realized Pinchimono had no morals, no sense of restraint and was a complete idiot, meaning he could literally make him do anything he wanted, and it would never be out of character for him.
