History YMMV / TakeshisCastle

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: ''Humor Amarillo'' basically screams "2000s Spain" in every one of its aspects: proto-otaku references, political incorrectness turned UpToEleven, racial and LGBTI-related humor, crass sexual jokes, and unapologetic raunchiness in general.

** As LGBTI humor wasn't weird in the 2000s Spain due to their countercultural tradition since eras like La Movida Madrileña, it was hard that any of them could get offended with their tongue-in-cheek portrayal in the show, and many of them enjoyed it with no problem. (Nowadays, after the cultural change brought by the TheNewTens, the same jokes would be likely considered from seriously offensive to downright horrifying, though.)

* ValuesDissonance: As continental Spain doesn't have much of a modern history of racism, at least compared to countries like United States where it is instrumental to their nation, racist humor wasn't a big deal when the 2006-2007 Spanish GagDub of the show was produced (it is now after the TheNewTens, though). Needless to say, the kind of jokes the show made would have been essentially impossible to repeat on American ground.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: ''Humor Amarillo'' was officially in the G-rated slot of Cuatro TV, but being a product of Spain in the 2000's, it featured metric craptons of sexual content of varied explicitness, as well as storylines and references that escaped the ParentalBonus label, and it was not any less popular among children for it.

* MST3KMantra: At some points, the 2006-2007 version of ''Humor Amarillo'' was promoted with the tagline "You don't have to understand it".

* FairForItsDay: At the show's heyday, humor about LGBTI people in Spain wasn't weird due to their countercultural tradition since eras like La Movida Madrileña, making it very difficult that any of them could get offended with their tongue-in-cheek portrayal in the show. Nowadays, after the culture wars of TheNewTens, the same jokes would be considered from seriously offensive to downright horrifying.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The series was a smashing success in Spain, even if it was mercilessly edited, given a GagDub containing commentary recorded over the real audio (which can also still be heard) and given the jaw-droppingly racist title "Humor Amarillo" ("Yellow Humor").

* ValuesDissonance: As continental Spain doesn't have much of a history of social racism, at least compared to countries like United States where it is instrumental to their national history, racist humor wasn't a big deal when the 2006-2007 Spanish GagDub of the show was produced (is now after the TheNewTens, though). Needless to say, the kind of jokes the show made would have been essentially impossible to repeat on American ground.

* FairForItsDay: As continental Spain doesn't have much of a history of social racism, at least compared to countries like United States where it is instrumental to their national history, racist jokes weren't a big deal there until years into TheNewTens, while humor about LGBTI people wasn't weird either due to their collective's long countercultural tradition in Spain since eras like La Movida Madrileña. At its time, the jokes of both types present in the 2006-2007 Spanish GagDub of the show weren't seen as anything other than hilarious and harmless, at some points dipping into MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales, but nowadays they would be considered from merely offensive to downright horrifying.
