History Series / Chespirito

* TheUnreveal: The doctor always carried a paper bag which would never play any part whatsoever in the plot, except to punch whoever dared to say that he was old (this happened '''at least''' OncePerEpisode). But once, his nurse and one patient asked him directly about the paper bag and he finally answered: "Tengo queles." "¿Queles?" "¡¿Qué les importa?!" (that could be translated as [[WhatsAHenway "I have nonoy." "Nonoy?" "None o'your business!"]]).

** Lucas then thanks him, as if he had done him a favor.
* ThoseTwoGuys

* {{Retool}}

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Botija (Edgar Vivar) replacing Peterete (Ramón Valdés) in the '80s version of the show, although their physical appearances were polar opposites.
** Later, They start working on a hotel owned by Don Lucho (Carlos Pouliot); that hotel shuts down, and they start working on a similar one owned by Don Cecilio (Moisés Suárez).
* ThoseTwoGuys
** ThoseTwoBadGuys

* VillainProtagonist
* YouLookFamiliar: During the first few years of Caquitos sketches, there wasn't much concern over using the actors who already had recurring roles to play other characters. This even included Florinda Meza, who would sometimes play a random passerby if she wasn't being used as Chimultrufia. Gradually, the supporting characters developed enough importance that this stopped happening.
** After the supporting characters developed their importance, other actors outside of Chespirito's ensemble were needed for one-time characters; many of these actors and actresses appeared in multiple episodes in different roles.

* VillainDecay: Botija. In his appearances in the chapulin colorado, he was a true threat.

[[TearJerker Sadly]], Gómez Bolaños passed away on November 28, 2014, at age 85, leaving behind a huge legacy that will be remembered for generations to come.

* MissingEpisode: The '70s version of the show has been rarely rerun and currently is not syndicated, although the recent surfacing of a [[http://tycoon.mx/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=104&Itemid=28&lang=mx&vmcchk=1&Itemid=28 clip from a rare skit of The Chifladitos on the website of a DVD distribuitor]] gives some hope.

Chespirito is a sketch-comedy series named after Roberto Gómez Bolaños, known as "Chespirito"(little Shakespeare") the Mexican comedian who wrote and starred in almost every sketch on the show. It's most famous for the skits ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'', in which Chespirito and others play small children who get into various mischief, and ElChapulinColorado, a parody of comic-book super-heroes, who exhibits the opposite of all typical superhero traits, save for having good intentions. Both of these spun off into independent sitcoms for several years. Other popular sketches on the show were Dr. Chapatín (a rude, money-grubbing doctor who went a little berserk any time someone mentioned his age), Los Chifladitos (the surreal adventures of two suburban lunatics), and Los Caquitos (sketches about two small-time thieves, who eventually reform and try a series of odd jobs).

Chespirito ran for twenty-plus years, in one form or another, with most of the cast remaining for the entire time. Unfortunately, two cast members--Ramón Valdés and Carlos Villagrán-- dropped out after having disagreements with the star. Many fans regard this as a JumpTheShark moment, since they played some of the best-loved characters on the show. Still, the show managed to go on for more than a decade without them, gradually relying more on sketches that didn't feature them.

[[TearJerker Sadly]], he passed away on November 28, 2014, at age 85, leaving behind a huge legacy that will be remembered for generations to come.

* BerserkButton: Any time somebody makes fun of Dr. Chapatín's apparent age. (Him asking angrily "Insinuas que soy viejo?" ("Are you insinuating I'm old?") was practically a CatchPhrase).

* BerserkButton: Any time somebody makes fun of Dr. Chapatín's apparent age.

** "Óyeme. Chaparrón. ¿Sabías que la gente sigue diciendo que tú y yo estamos locos?" (Hey Chaparrón, did you know people are still saying you and I are crazy?)

** "¿Que tú y yo estamos locos, Lucas?" (You and I are crazy??)

* HeelFaceTurn: In the infamous episode where they watch a [[TearJerker particulary sad]] episode of ElChavodelOcho, they regret being thieves and start doing odd jobs afterwards.

Unfortunately, two cast members--Ramon Valdes and Carlos Villagran-- dropped out after having disagreements with the star. Many fans regard this as a JumpTheShark moment, since they played some of the best-loved characters on the show.

* {{Spinoff}}: ElChavoDelOcho and ElChapulinColorado. The show itself spun-off from the VarietyShow ''Sabados de la fortuna''.

* {{Squick}}: In-universe. "¡Me dá cosa!"
* TheUnreveal: The doctor always carried a paper bag which would never play any part whatsoever in the plot, except to punch whoever dared to say that he was old (this happened OncePerEpisode). But once, his nurse and one patient asked him directly about the paper bag and he finally answered: "Tengo queles" "¿Queles?" "Qué les importa" (that could be translated as [[WhatsAHenway "I have nonoy" "Nonoy?" "None o'your business"]]).

* CharacterTics: Chaparrón suffers a literal version called "chirripiolcas", in which he'll involuntarily stop what he's doing and do a repetitive dance in place until Lucas whacks him on the back to bring him out of it. Accompanied by bizarre sound effects.

** "¿Que tú y yo estamos locos?" {You and I are crazy??)

** "¿Yá se vá?" (Are you leaving already?)

* BreakoutCharacter: The skit itself pretty much took over the show in later years.Also, La Chimoltrufia (played by Florinda Meza) was an incidental character that began gaining a lot of prominence and finally became a key part of it. In fact, when Meza left the show for a season to do a telenovela, the show stopped running Caquitos skits until she returned. Meanwhile, when actor Edgar Vivar left the series for several months for health reasons, the skits just continued without Botija, originally the star character.
* CriminalDoppelganger: Chompiras, although a small-time criminal himself, ended up under threat by a much more powerful criminal doppelganger, who wanted to kill Chompiras and use the body to fake his own death.

* FatAndSkinny: El Chompiras and El Botija.

* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: In an episode Botija bets with Chompiras in a poker game based on the "good luck" that his horoscope predicted, yet it ends backfiring. The episode ends with a disclaimer saying that the horoscopes used through the episode were not made up by the writer, but taken verbatim from an actual Mexican newspaper.

This even included Florinda Meza, who would sometimes play a random passerby if she wasn't being used as Chimoltrufia.

Although the sitcoms are probably more fondly remembered than the sketch-comedy hour, the show is major piece of Latin American pop-culture, and is still widely syndicated today.
