YMMV / ¿Qué Pasa, U.S.A.?

• Harsher in Hindsight: In the episode where Juan and Pepe wonder if Joe is gay, Pepe says in all seriousness that if his son is a little confused, then he will find Joe a "female woman" to clear up any confusion, and if that doesn't work, then he will send Joe to a clinic to be treated with male hormone injections, and if that doesn't work, well, "Joe can start packing!" Of course, it is all a misunderstanding and the audience is supposed to laugh at how worked up Pepe gets, but throwing his son out of the house for being gay or having him "fixed" is not that funny now.
• Retroactive Recognition:
  • Steven Bauer played Joe while credited as "Rocky Echevarría". Three years after the series ended, he appeared as Manny Ribera in Scarface
  • Andy García appeared in a Season 2 episode as Carmen's fam boyfriend Pepe. He was credited as Andrés García.
• Values Dissonance: Some jokes on the subject of race or gender equality have aged poorly. For example when Joe is at the hospital Pepe is told that Joe has a high white blood cell count. His response is to brag that in his family they only have White blood cells, as in, they don't have any African ancestry. Given Cuba's demographics, that is plausible but not likely.
