History Series / ElChapulinColorado

** The HouseHusband episode starts with him ironing and singing the first verse of [[Disney/{{Cinderella}} "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes"]].

* HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct: [[spoiler: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zy-XWHkEVM&feature=related Averted, he actually accidentally kills Hitler in an episode.]]]]

* AdolfHitlarious: In the hour-long episode where El Chapulín faces Adolf Hitler, the dictator plays a war game with his staff ([[RuleOfFunny which he wins by dropping a bomb on the opposing figurines]]), goes on a rant when he finds out what was water in a Europe map was Austria (and crying that it must never be painted yellow), and then realizes he sent submarines to strike on that country.

* ThoseWackyNazis: El Chapulín once fought against [[AdolfHitlarious Adolf Hitler]] (Also played by Chespirito). El Chapulín won by accidentally setting of the SelfDestructButton on Hitler's room.

** When Chapulín first shows up in any episode, Elmer Bernstein's score for Film/TheTenCommandments' parting/crossing of the Red Sea can be heard.

* YouAreNumberSix: Played for laughs in the jail episode where he helps a jail where all the prisoners are known by a number, and we focus on "the 24", but aside from being know only by their number, he actually have an amicable relation with the jailer, to the point that he actually leaves the cell door unlocked (it probably has to do with the fact that he is the only prisoner that hasn't escaped yet). It's implied this is the same with all prisoner, as Chapulín mentions a "13" (which they nicknamed the "14").

* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: The old Spanish letter CH on the hero's costume

* IdenticalStranger: "El caso de dos hombres que eran tan parecidos que eran idénticos, sobre todo uno de ellos" involves El Rascabuches finding out there's another person that looks exactly the same as him (both are played by Ramón Valdéz), and plans to kill him to fake his own death. In the end of the episode, while El Chapulín is discussing with the lookalike about this trope, his daughter brings her boyfriend, Roberto, who is played by Roberto Gómez Bolaños and therefore looks identical to El Chapulín Colorado.

** Sometimes the Chapulín encounters a turist during some adventures that is an obvious Flavor 2.

Legendary Mexican SitCom (and staple of popular culture) from {{Series/Chespirito}}, the creator of ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'' (and most of same the cast) about the adventures of a ComedicHero, whose name vaguely translates as The Red Cricket (The Crimson Grasshopper is more accurate, but sounds too serious given the context of the show), rescuing people who say his PhraseCatcher. Not that he is really that useful, or even helpful. But El Chapulín Colorado is well meaning and at least tries to help, so it's okay.

* StopTrick: Generally used to display magic, and it was shown very extensively in "La sortija de la bruja" for the spells caused by the ring. It is particularly noticeable as the shot angle is a little different between the two sections of the episode.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: El Chapulín Colorado stated once that El Chómpiras is his cousin. Both are played by Roberto Gómez Bolaños. [[spoiler: {{Subverted}} in the end, where it's revealed that El Chapulín Colorado was actually an imitator, and not the real one.]]

** At the end of the episode where Chapulín foils a criminal gang in a costume party, the undercover detective thanks him after he captures the leader. Chapulín than admits that he's just a partygoer disguised as El Chapulín Colorado, and since he was in costume he decided that he had to do something. Just then, the real Chapulín arrives, and apologizes for being so late.

** '''"Calma, que no panda el cúnico."''', "[[{{Malaproper}} Remain calm, don't let renic paign.]]"

* CryingWolf: One episode featured a [[SpoiledBrat boy]] who threw away the toys he didn't want anymore and told his parents somebody stole them. Nobody believed him when it really happened. Chapulin tried to warn the boy it would happen by stating it could happen to him the same it happened in "Peter and the Wolf" (another title for 'TheBoyWhoCriedWolf') but the boy didn't know the story and Chapulin [[ShaggyFrogStory told his own version of it]], excluding Peter and describing a wolf that lied so much that, when he met Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs, he claimed to be Literature/LittleRedRidingHood. At least he had the wolf replace Peter as the liar.
* CulturalCrossReference: One episode had Chapulin helping a young woman and her elderly father, whose house was being threatened of being demolished with the two still inside. The old man is not happy about being helped by a hero of the likes of Chapulin, angrily saying to his daughter: "You could have called any other hero! ''Any other''! Franchise/{{Superman}}! Franchise/{{Batman}}! ComicStrip/DickTracy! [[ArsonMurderAndJayWalking Donald]] [[DonaldDuck Duck!"]].

** Of a superhero series, among others. And then some: [[WordOfGod Creator Roberto Gómez Bolaños]] [[invoked]] indicated repeatedly that for him a ''real'' hero was somebody like the Chapulín, who was knowingly weak, distracted, clumsy, cowardly and ugly, but who engaged in heroic actions anyway. It's been stated more than once in-show, on his cowardliness, that "courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability of facing your fears", which is essentially what Chapulín's heroic deeds amount to.
** Not so much a parody than a TakeThat against then established and famous superheroes, his description runs contrary to bragging about his abilities and instead, focuses on the ridiculousness of them; he is for example "nimbler than a turtle". Then during an episode, he throughly deconstructs the super-hero genre, by acting clumsily and being more harmful than helpful, even if in the end he saves the day.
** As proper parodies, there have been episodes based around ''Literature/DonQuixote'' (Featuring an old man who believes he's El Chapulín Colorado), ''Myth/{{Faust}}'', ''Theatre/MyFairLady'', and then some. The four-parter episode "La función debe continuar" is one big mash-up of sketches parodying several works, ranging from live-action series, films and even ''cartoons'', with the parodied work being mentioned.

* ThrowItIn: Deliberately adverted because show creator and main scriptwriter Chespirito positively disliked it.

* AffectionateParody: of a superhero series, among others.

* AllThereInTheManual / WordOfGod: If you ever wondered, you will need to google to find references to a certain interview in order to learn about Chapulin's origin story. [[spoiler:An agonizing scientist wanted to pick someone to give his top invention, the chiquitolina pills, he called upon people to meet him so he could choose to whom to give the pills. Chapulin was the only honest person that went, that's how he got his only real superpower.]]

** Potential softener, a liquid which, when applied, makes even the sturdiest of objects extremely fragile, as if [[StyrofoamRocks they were made of styrofoam]].

* BraggingThemeTune: There is an extended version of his theme tune sung by Chespirito himself. In it, there's even a lyric where it says that Tarzan and Kaliman admire him and Batman and Superman ask forgiveness when facing him.

* TheCameo: Characters from Series/ElChavoDelOcho sometimes appear. "El disfraz, el antifaz y algo más" turns this UpToEleven, as several characters from other Chespirito sketches and one-shots also appear, such as Quico, El Chavo, El Chómpiras and El Peterete, Doctor Chapatín and parodies of Charles Chaplin, Jerry Lewis and Laurel and Hardy.

* CartridgesInFlight: One episode revolved around our clumsy hero wearing a wig made of Samson's actual hair. This not only gave him nigh invulnerability, but when one of the bad guys fired a bullet he caught it with his teeth. As in caught the entire bullet, casing, prime and all. The thing looked pristine.

*** His antennae also detect whenever someone asks ''' "Y ahora...¿Quién podrá defenderme?" ''' "And now...Who could defend me?", which prompts a variation of the catch phrase about his antennae. However, this is seldom seen as he's usually offscreen when someone asks for a defender.

---> Then he trips and falls or gets hit. God, I love this show.

** [[GratuitousEnglish "Time is money! Oh yeah!"]].

* ComicallyInvincibleHero: In spite of his hilarious incompetence, El Chapulín never loses[[note]]With the possible exception of "El maestro de los disfraces"[[/note]]. Even when he does not defeat the villain, either someone else (such as Super Sam) saves the day, or the villain atones for his mistakes.
* ControlFreak: Chespirito disliked and discouraged anything remotedly [[ThrowItIn improvisational]], also he wrote almost all of the material.
* {{Crossover}}: with ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'', and some other characters created by the same actor, to the point of RequiredSpinoffCrossover since all of them derived from the same sketch show.

* CryingWolf: One episode featured a [[SpoiledBrat boy]] who threw away the toys he didn't want anymore and told his parents somebody stole them. Nobody believed him when it really happened. Chapulin tried to warn the boy it would happen by stating it could happen to him the same it happened in "Peter and the Wolf" (another title for 'TheBoyWhoCriedWolf') but the boy didn't know the story and Chapulin [[ShaggyFrogStory told his own version of it]], excluding Peter and describing a wolf that lied so much that, when he met Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs, he claimed to be Literature/LittleRedRidingHood. At least he had the wolf replace Peter as the liar who would not be believed wven while telling the truth.

* DidYouJustScamCthulhu: Chapulin once told an InNameOnly tale of Myth/{{Faust}}, about a man who sold his soul in exchange of a magical device that made people and things disappear and appear as the user wishes. When the Devil showed up to collect, the man used the device to make the contract vanish.
* DisproportionateRetribution: In the AffectionateParody of RomeoAndJuliet, Rumiet's father tells Juleo that, for their love, he could forgive the latter's father, grandfather and great-grandfather murdered the former's respective ones. What he cannot forgive is that the Montesco support Chivas while the Capuletto support América.[[note]]Chivas-América is the most relevant football rivalry in Mexico[[/note]]
* DistractedByTheSexy: In the costume party episode[[note]]"El Disfraz, el Antifaz y Algo más"[[/note]], the detective claims he's following clues towards a smuggling ring when he's following [[MsFanservice a woman in a devil outfit]]. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Turns out, she is indeed one of the smugglers]].]]

* EagleLand:

** In one episode he used his teleporting ability, usually only used when he appears, freely during a fight. WillfullyWeak?

** Super Sam is a mix of {{Superman}} and Uncle Sam. He dresses like Superman and has Uncle Sam style beard, hair and hat.
** Doctor Panchostein, who is explicitly described as Dr. Frankestein's totonac version.

* FarEast: Episodes that involve japanese families will inevitably include a gong... which is a chinese instrument.

* FaustianRebellion: In El Chapulín's retelling of ''Literature/{{Faust}}'', the titular character is given a riding crop that makes things appear and disappear from Mephistopheles in exchange of signing a contract. When Faust realizes he sold his soul, he made the contract vanish.

** An episode ends with the sudden revelation that all the villains, a "[[LivingProp dead guy]]", a [[PlayingATree barrel]] and the Chapulín himself that they weren't who they said they were during the episode but rater "actors" who liked to play those roles, followed by a FlatWhat from Ramón Valdés' character.

** One episode involved El Chapulín Colorado trying to stop [[AliensStealCattle a martian from stealing chicken]]. At first, he mistakes a man wearing american football equipment to be the alien. In the 1977 version, after El Chapulín manages to force the martian to flee, El Chapulín comments on his earlier mistake to the man, who then teleports away, just like the martian.
** At the end of the episode where Chapulín foils a criminal gang in a costume party, the undercover detective thanks him after he captures the leader. Chapulín than admits that he's just a party goer disguised as El Chapulín Colorado, and since he was in costume he decided that he had to do something. Just then, the real Chapulín arrives, and apologizes for being so late.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In an episode, one character complains that he should have called Franchise/{{Batman}} instead of Chapulín and he replies:
--> ''Chapulín'': In first place, Batman is in honeymoon with Robin.

* InNameOnly: Some of the Chapulín's re-stagings of fairly tales fall under this. Lampshaded when he told a [[FracturedFairyTale random interpretation of "Peter and the Wolf"]]. Somebody pointed that Peter wasn't in his story and he replied that Peter was the author.

* LaughTrack (in the first years. The last seasons, when the Chapulín was included along with other Chespirito characters, the program started with the message "As a matter of respect for our audience, this program does not contain a laugh track").

* LongList: Once, after el Chapulín has spent the entire episode lousing things up for him, Ramón begins rattling off a list of people who would have been better to call instead of el Chapulín, and it lasts through the entire ending credits. He begins with Superman, and then works his way down to Speedy Gonzalez, Fidel Castro, the Wizard of Oz, Mannix, and Rin Tin Tin. He even says "El Chapulín Col- no, not him...". During all this, el Chapulín, covered in mud, shuffles his feet and looks embarrassed.

** Chapulin Colorado has the same initials as it's rough English equivalent, Crimson Cricket. Any english version would have a hell of a time explaining where the H on his chest came from, though (especially because Spanish language treats "CH" as a single letter).

* TheMinnesotaFats: Super Sam, a cross between Uncle Sam and {{Superman}}. (His main weapon was a bag of money he used to club bad guys, all with a cash register sound.)

* MundaneUtility: ''El Chavo'' of all people found another use for the Chiquitolina pills: [[spoiler:having a feast!]]

* NewAgeRetroHippie: Samson in El Chapulín's retelling of his story. He wears a crown made of flowers.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Some of the actors in the BeachEpisode have names based on celebrities. The lead actress, Sofía Welch (Florinda Meza), gets her name from Creator/SophiaLoren and Raquel Welch while "Chato" Heston (Horacio Gómez), who was initially going to portray El Chapulín Colorado, gets his name from Creator/CharltonHeston.

--> ''Chapulín'': First of all, we have to defeat the martian.
--> ''Scientist'': How?
--> ''Chapulín'': That's the only detail I don't know yet.

** The ending theme for many episodes is "[[RealSongThemeTune Baroque Hoedown]]" by Jean Jacques Perrey, who also recorded "The Elephant Never Forgets".
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: In one episode Chapulin has a cast in his forearm, and when someone asks about it, he mentions that he got hurt on a previous mission and had to get medical help. In real life Chespirito did hurt his arm, and had to have it bandage for some time, including while filming El Chapulin Colorado and Series/ElChavoDelOcho.

** [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness It is of note that, in earlier seasons, El Chapulín actually fought against El Cuajináis in the wild west and El Rascabuches in the present. It wasn't until later that his rogues gallery got restricted to certain episode themes]].

--> '''Protagonist/s:''' Oh, who could ever help/protect me/us?
--> '''Chapulín''' ME!!
--> '''Protagonist/s:''' El Chapulín Colorado!!
--> '''Chapulín:''' They didn't count on my cleverness! Good guys, follow me!

--> '''Woman:''' Thank goodness you're here Chapulín, my father wants me to marry a man I don't love all because he's a zillionaire.
--> '''Chapulín:''' Because he's a zillio-- what?
--> '''Woman:''' --naire.
--> '''Chapulín:''' Chanfle!

---> '''Wife:''' Are going to eat lunch?
---> '''Archeologist:''' What?
---> '''Wife:''' I asked if--
---> '''Archeologist:''' Oh no, I'm much too busy for that.
---> '''Wife:''' Is that object very interesting?
---> '''Archeologist:''' What?
---> '''Wife:''' I said--
---> '''Archeologist:''' Oh yes, very, very interesting indeed.

* SecretIdentityIdentity: El Chapulín doesn't seem to have a "real" identity besides being a superhero, and if he ever had one it may have been absorbed completely by the hero persona (for American audiences, it's kind of like Franchise/TheTick). In an episode it's revealed that "Chapulín Colorado" is ''really'' the given name of our hero, from before he took his superhero role - apparently, his father was an entomologist and named his children after insects ("Chapulín" was picked in a raffle). And its implied that his real mother is [[{{Superman}} Lois Lane]]

** In the 1977 version of the episode in which a martian comes to Earth to steal some animals, the martian looks like a [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Star Trek]] character, especially in regards to his clothing.
** The cousins that wanted to [[InheritanceMurder kill their uncle for the inheritance]] are called Hugo Paco y [[HighHeelFaceTurn Luisa]] ([[WesternAnimation/DuckTales Huey, Dewey, and Louise]]).
** The HouseHusband episode starts with him ironing and singing the first verse of [[Disney/{{Cinderella}} A dream is a wish your heart makes]].

** [[ManChild An elderly man in his "second childhood"]] in one episode is pretending to be a detective from Series/HawaiiFiveO.
** In "Prohibido tirar bombas en horas de oficina", El Chapulín quotes the famous american poet [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign Corner Penalty]] with "Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away"[[note]][[GratuitousEnglish which he pronounces rather badly and mistranslates it as "Licenciados vemos, tarugos no sabemos"]][[/note]], which is part of Music/TheBeatles song "Yesterday".

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Chapulin Colorado's fairy tales. Specially memorable is its version of RomeoAndJuliet.
* ElSpanishO: El Chapulín after encountering a [[{{Eagleland}} tourist]] while helping someone to pick some sacks said "Voy a subireishon los costaleishon a la camioneishon"[[note]]He said "I'm going to put all the sacks on the truck."[[/note]]

* StyrofoamRocks: Rocks, chairs, tables... The whole set!
** In the BeachEpisode, where El Chapulín helps a production crew of a film about himself, this trope was {{invoked}} and PlayedForLaughs in a more literal by one of the actors (Played by Ramón Valdéz), explaining a fan (María Antonieta de las Nieves) that film props are not real, and just made of styrofoam. He proves his point by having the styrofoam rock he was holding float on a pool nearby. After that, the film director arrives and believes the fan is looking for a doll floating in the pool, and [[HilarityEnsues tries to step on the rock to reach the doll]]. [[RuleOfThree Yet again]], later, when the actor holds the rock in one hand for a photo, El Chapulín mistakes him for a madman that believes he's Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan, and tries to defeat him.
** Styrofoam props were actually used to showcase the main property of the [[AppliedPhlebotinum potential softener]] - making items incredibly fragile.

* VampireEpisode: Episode "Los Hombres Vampiro no saben hacer otra cosa mas que estar chupando Sangre", in later seasons remade as "El Vampiro" and "El Conde Terranova".
* VisualPun: In "Más vale ratero en jaula que ciento robando", the checkers board the policeman and inmate no.24 play with has the ladies' bathroom sign in the other side. In spanish, both "checkers" and "ladies" use the same word: "damas".

* WantedPoster: El Chapulin Colorado once helped a western town to post wanted posters with the criminal's face and the inscription "Lo Queremos Vivo o Muerto - Mucho Cuidado". (Roughly "Wanted dead or alive - extreme caution") When confronted by the criminal Chapulin tried to appease him by ripping a piece of the poster so it reads "Lo Queremos Mucho" ("We love him/you a lot").
** Also, there was the time when Chapulin tried to buy his way out stating that the criminal in the poster did not look like the real criminal (played by Ramón Valdés) at all, even though it was an obvious caricature of Valdés on the poster. Chapulin insisted it was actually a bald, bearded man... and flipped the poster upside down to prove his point.
*** It was the same occasion. Chapulin simply realized the criminal didn't fall for the first trick.
* WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys: "El Chipote Chillón" ("The Squeaking Hammer"), "La Chicharra Paralizadora" (a bike horn that can paralyze people by honking once, and release them by honking twice) and the "Chiquitolina" Pills (that shrink him down to the size of a small action figure.) Also, his suit included a couple of vinyl antennae, which detected the "presence of the enemy" (The detection was real, but Chapulin couldn't identify WHO was the enemy.)
** With some careful analysis, you could realize that he invented all of them, or got them through some pretty good connections. The Squeaking Mallet relies on his own strenght, but it's capable of stopping cold people much bigger than him, and to damage otherwise unsurmountable obstacles, Shrink-e-tolin pills are akin to the Atom's powers or Ant-Man's Pym particles; tough they only last a very short ammount of time. His Vynil Antennae work as a Spider-Sense of sorts, but they also double as radar, two way radio, and multipurpose sensors that can study for example, a wall to look for weaknesses in the material. The Paralyzing Honking-Horn was a device ahead of his time (even for most comic books and sci-fi series) in that it effectively put any person or object caught in its blast radius in a perfectly stable and self sustaining sleep; a couple episodes even theorized that people paralized this way, could be left alone for years and they'd be alright after coming out of the honk's effects.
** Also, you'd have to wonder what a "proper" superhero could achieve with access to the Crimson Grasshopper teleporting device. El Chapulín could appear at any location the instant his cry for help was uttered. He'd even pop out of ridiculous and hard to reach places, like a trash can, or just literally drop from a place off-camera in between the assailant and its victim; of course, pretty much getting wrong who was who and hilarity ensuing.

** Not to mention he can also travel in time, unless he's immortal, as some episodes are set during the UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfPiracy (around the 1600s-1700s) and the WildWest (1800) up to others that are set in the future when CasualInterstellarTravel is possible.

-->''Oh, ¿y ahora quien podrá defendernos?''
-->''("Oh, and now... who could defend us?")''

-->''Más ágil que una tortuga.''
-->''Más fuerte que un ratón.''
-->''Más noble que una lechuga.''
-->''Su escudo es un corazón.''
-->''("More agile than a turtle. / Stronger than a mouse / Nobler than a lettuce / His emblem is a heart.")''

* AntiClimax: In one episode, Chapulin and Super Sam are staying the night on a hotel to look out for a bulgrar that specializes on robbing hotels. Both heroes happen to book the same room, but never realize the other is there. To the very end of the episode they are oblivious to each other's presence and the bulgrar never appears.

Legendary Mexican SitCom (and staple of popular culture) from the creator of ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'' (and most of same the cast) about the adventures of a ComedicHero, whose name vaguely translates as The Red Cricket (The Crimson Grasshopper is more accurate, but sounds too serious given the context of the show), rescuing people who say his PhraseCatcher. Not that he is really that useful, or even helpful. But El Chapulín Colorado is well meaning and at least tries to help, so it's okay.

* TwistEnding: In [[Series/{{Chespirito}} one hour long episode,]] Chapulin is summoned because an escaped mental, with martial arts training, has been spotted near the vicinity of an isolated cabin. Suspicion falls on the cabin's owner, a traveler, a roughed up man, and even Chapulín himself as to who may be the maniac. At the end, the roughed up man reveals that he's a cop that was beaten up by the maniac and in the area looking for the escapee. At the very end, it's revealed that the the maniac is Florinda Mesa's character who scares off the men with a karate yell.
-->'''Florinda:''' ''[[BreakingTheFourthWall (looking at the camera)]]'' Men: they're so selfish, they think they own everything, including insanity.

* UnreliableNarrator: El Chapulín is terrible at telling stories:
** His retelling of "Peter and the Wolf" was about the wolf being a liar who told Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs that he was Literature/LittleRedRidingHood, then falls into some nonsense and ends up with the wolf going with his children, Romulus and Remus. Peter does not appear in the story, and is supposedly the author.
** His retelling of Literature/SamsonAndDelilah features Samson as a NewAgeRetroHippie who DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength and became very strong [[HatOfPower just because of his hair]] (though he claims it's because of his very healthy lifestyle... [[TooDumbToLive until he spills the beans, of course]]). His TakingYouWithMe moment does not happen either, as Samson and all the philistines are fine (if a little dirty) after the temple collapses.
* UnusualEuphemism:
** "¡Chanfle!" (a soft swear, similar to "Holy Mackerel!")
** "Al fondo a la derecha", as an euphemism for bathroom.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: In "Jamás volveré a jugar apostando dinero, y te apuesto todo lo que quieras a que cumplo", there are two men playing chess in the background during the whole episode. None of the events that happen during it, not even El Chapulín and El Cuajináis [[ItMakesSenseInContext swordfighting with pool sticks]] ''right above the board'', faze them.
* VampireEpisode: Episode "Los Hombres Vampiro no saben hacer otra cosa mas que estar chupando Sangre", in later seasons remade as "El Vampiro" and "El Conde Terranova".
* VisualPun: In "Más vale ratero en jaula que ciento robando", the checkers board the policeman and inmate no.24 play with has the ladies' bathroom sign in the other side. In spanish, both "checkers" and "ladies" use the same word: "damas".

** Uncle Sam, the Rival of Chapulín for heroic deeds. Some may argue if he is flavor 1 or 2.

** Also another with ''Franchise/TopoGigio''.
