* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
** In the very first episode "Scared Stiff", Fraz is constantly scared of being doomed and the fortune cookie seems to confirm it. However Fraz jumps into a dangerous pinball machine to save Guapo from getting hurt.
*** Fraz actually risks his life to save Guapo in a lot of episodes in spite of his fears and him finding Guapo annoying.
** In "Double Feature" Guapo has everything he wants. But he is not happy because he misses Fraz. He says no matter how huge his ego is he will always care about Fraz because he's his brother. He eventually quits after the movie director insults his brother. At the end, Guapo apologizes to Fraz, who admits his job wasn't the same without him either.
** How Fraz and Guapo treat each other in "A Courier's Carol". They hardly argue and their favorite part of the holiday is "brotherly love". As kids, they get each other the perfect gifts and hugged each other in response.
** In "Guapo's Funhouse" it is Guapo's fault for releasing the clowns into Retrograde and Fraz knows it. However when one of the clowns makes Guapo cry after eating his guacamole, Fraz says "Aww there there, little brother." In a sweet tone.
** Guapo's relationship with Hector in "For the Birds".
** In "Unlucky Charmers" it's nice to see Fraz and Guapo being nice and loving to each other, even if it TastesLikeDiabetes.
*** During a song about how they were sick of the nice Flubs, the mechanics sang "We'd love to see the old Flubs back"
** In "Bad Judgement Day", Guapo has an impulse to take any suggestion anyone gives him. However when Fraz is fed up with him, Guapo promises to not listen to the butterflies during the delivery and he actually keeps his promise.
*** Also Guapo's speech was pretty heartwarming, as cheesey as it is. "We belong together, like school and homework, like ice-cream and guacamole, like Jekyll and Hyde." Guapo may be annoyed by Fraz's bossiness and he likes to tease him, but he thinks the world of his brother.
** Fraz is always jealous of Guapo when he gets fame and fortune, but Guapo was happy for Fraz in Bard Brain and when Fraz turned back to normal, the first thing Guapo said was "Frazzy, my dear sweet brother, are you okay?"
** Guapo asking why Fraz should take the all the blame in "Big Business".
** Fraz wanting to sleep in the same room as Guapo in "Hair Brains", implying that he sometimes relies on his brother for comfort or protection.

In that case, Valerina can't be either because she appears a lot.

The definition of an Ensemble Darkhorse is that they are a(n at least relatively) minor/insignificant character who ends up surprisingly popular with the fanbase. Since Fraz is one of the show's main characters, that automatically disqualifies him from being an example of the trope.


* EnsembleDarkHorse:
** Valerina is pretty popular for being in an obscure show.
** Fraz also has his fans, probably because of his similarities to Squidward.

* FridgeHorror: In "Queen Bees" Guapo was hypnotized by the Queen Bee and turned into a "drone" and forced to collect nectar. But Guapo is a male and in real life male bees have no purpose except to mate with the queen. If this episode was more true to life, Guapo would have basically been raped.

** Both the titular Brothers, Guapo and Fraz, are seen as this due to [[SiblingRivalry their constant arguing]]. Guapo is mainly disliked due to his [[TheDitz ditzy]] {{Cloudcuckoolander}} personality. Fraz is just as hated, as many people find his [[CowardlyLion whiny and cowardly nature]] annoying, and they don't like his self-proclaimed bragging when he isn't being a whiny coward ("It's all part of my master plan."), simply due to a lot of things go wrong when he acts like that.
** Tarara Boomdeyay is the biggest one because of her BadBoss personality towards her workers. (Even though Guapo and Fraz somehow see her as "nice" and "special", despite often getting abused by her.)
