--> '''Maria''': Oh come on, don't you think I read the newspapers?\\

--> '''Dr. Chipotle, Jr.''': Look, a thing!\\
'''Frida''': Where? ''(turns around, then realizes Chipotle ran away)'' Aw, man!

---> '''Rodolfo''': Look, a danger!\\
'''Maria''': Where?

-->'''Rodolfo''': Papi, take it back now!
-->'''Puma Loco''': NEVER!!

--> '''El Oso''': "Can we speed this up, I want to break out in time for dinner!"

-->'''Maria''': Oh come on, don't you think I read the newspapers?
-->''(SpinningPaper reveals Manny is El Tigre)''
-->'''Frida:''' Dang, that's right, she can read.

-->'''Frida:''' DO you have a book about guitars?\\

* HeroicSacrifice: Manny has come pretty close to pulling this on a few occasions, and so has Frida in "The Ballad of Frida Suarez". Implied to have been played straight with Justice Jaguar who died performing the Blitz, then subverted with [[HeroicSuicide Zebra Donkey]] (who was brought back to life...again) and Chui (if that actually was Chui and not an offspring). [[spoiler:After the series' timeframe, Manny will do this towards Frida in his old age.]]

-->'''Frida:''' AHHHHH! Hey, i can see my house from here. AHHHH!

-->'''Maria''': You said you wanted to change.
-->'''Dr. Chipotle Sr.''': We lied. Dr. Chipotle Sr. advises you to deal with it.
-->'''Maria''': '''''DEAL WITH IT?!?!'''''

--> Frida: (realizes her goggles were broken in the fight) "[[BigNo NOOOO!]] Haven't I paid enough for my rock star jerkiness?!"
--> Manny: [[SarcasmMode "Uh... no?"]] (Frida promptly gets hit in the head with her guitar, then a bowl of fruit, and is then swarmed by rats) "That'll do it!"
* {{Leitmotif}}: A few beyond general themes - Manny has the main theme, naturally.

-->'''Dr. Chipotle, Jr.''': Look, a thing!
-->'''Frida''': Where? (''Turns around, then realizes Chipotle ran away'') Aw, man!

-->'''Rodolfo''': Look, a danger!
-->'''Maria''': Where?

* MadeOfIron: Frida...how else could you explain her getting pummeled by the Titanium Titan, getting crushed by ''Giant Robot Sanchez'' and surviving a high-velocity launch into the side of the Miracle City Volcano without so much as a scratch?!

*** IronicName: While most likely a coincidence (or not?), "Frida" actually translates to "peace" and some derivatives also translate to "good counselor"...Frida Suarez is usually anything but those meanings.

-->Villains of Miracle City! ...and White Panthera.

** Chief Emiliano Suarez, Frida's dad, too. When the Mustache Mafia went after her, he [[CurbstompBattle curb-stomped]] them...''for eight hours''...''AND HE WAS GOING EASY ON THEM!''

* StalkerShrine: The Titan actually has a small table with pictures of Rodolfo in his lair...above that is a hate shrine to "honor" Manny.

* TattooSharpie: Frida is signing autographs after becoming a one-hit wonder and accidentally writes an F on Manny's forehead. Manny isn't mad and thinks it will come off, until he sees a label that says "Does Not Come Off".

-->'''Manny''': This roof doesn't look too sturdy.
-->'''Grandpapi''': Ah, watchu' talking about? It's fine.
-->A butterfly lands on Tigre's ear, and the entire roof collapses beneath them.

* ThirdPersonPerson - The Chipotles always refer to them in third person.

---> ''Black Cuervo: You're so stupid. I hate you! How come you never call me?''

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Played with in "El Tigre, El Jefe" when Manny decides to help kids at school after Rodolfo catches him tee-peeing the school and tries to convince him that GoodFeelsGood. When Manny is unsuccessful in helping a kid with his homework, he proceeds to use El Tigre to ''threaten the kid's life'' in order to make the kid get a gold star. Manny then proceeds to harass the other kids into doing things such as only eating dry crackers when wearing white shirts, playing banjos instead of playing yo-yos, and not allowing anyone to wear high heels. This continues to the point that Manny has the kids building staues of him and hanging up propaganda posters in his name, but then Señor Siniestro finally takes him down...in order for ''him'' to force the kids into building a gigantic robot horse that he was planning on wreaking havoc with.

-->'''White Pantera:''' You took advantage of a lady's feelings? ''UNCLEAN!''

%% * WorldOfHam: Oh yes...

->''"Miracle City... a spicy cesspool of crime and villainy! This is the story of Manny Rivera, better known as '''El Tigre!''' Son of the legendary hero, '''White Pantera!''' Grandson of the evil supervillain, '''Puma Loco!"'''''
-->-- '''OpeningNarration'''

''El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera'' (2007-2008) is an animated series on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} created by a husband and wife team, Creator/JorgeGutierrez and Sandra Equihua. It is about a 13-year-old Mexican boy, Manny Rivera, who has [[TransformationTrinket a magical belt that turns him into]] [[HenshinHero costumed superhero El Tigre]] ([[GratuitousSpanish Spanish]] for "The Tiger"[[note]]Or just "tiger"; Spanish is more liberal when it comes to definite articles than English[[/note]]).

While it only ran for a year and 26 episodes, the animation style and sense of humor made El Tigre something of a short lived cult classic. One thing worth mentioning as well is that (per statements from Jorge) ''El Tigre'' shares a setting with ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife'' and 'WesternAnimation/MayaAndTheThree''', with various bits of CanonWelding to at least the former, such as the Sanchezes being a cousin family to the Riveras (Manolo's mother being one of Puma Loco's aunts), and Sartana of the Dead being one of Xibalba's estranged daughters.

* GogglesDoSomething: Frida's come into handy during the Rivera-Flock of Fury fight in "Eye Caramba", as she slingshots them into a satellite, knocking it off its hinges and trapping the Flock...[[ThisIsGonnaSuck just as one of Gobbler's egg bombs comes loose]].

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** In "The Mother of All Tigres", Manny tries to hide his identity of El Tigre from his mother because he fears she will ask him to leave Miracle City with her for being too dangerous. As it turns out, Maria already knew about his "secret identity" because, prior to this episode, he had made no attempt to hide his identity and is actually quite famous.
-->'''Maria''': Oh come on, don't you think I read the newspapers?
-->''(SpinningPaper reveals Manny is El Tigre)''
-->'''Frida:''' Dang, that's right, she can read.
** In 'Fistful of Nickels' Frida defeats one of Sartana's skeletons by asking how it's able to stand without any muscles, causing it to immediately fall to pieces.
** In "Fool's Goal", Manny's local soccer team usually comes in dead last because Manny's father tries to play fair and square, even though all the other teams obviously don't. When his Grandpapi takes over coaching and encourages cheating, the team makes it into the finals with the opposing team being headed by one of their villains. However, Manny's father eventually finds out and Manny is guilted into trying to make the winning goal normally... which he utterly fails at and loses the game for the team. The crowd chases Manny and his Dad out of the stadium for the loss. When Rodolfo asks Manny if it felt good to play fair, Manny promptly states that if this was the result, it wasn't worth it. It's not exactly cheating if the other team does it, moral high ground or not.

* TwoTeacherSchool

*** Two of his middle names are said creator's and his wife's last names.

* StepfordSmiler: Aaron, Manny's first target in "El Tigre El Jefe" comes off as this. After being threatened to finish his homework, he looks extremely grateful in class that Manny "helped" him finish it and acheive a gold star. Then later on, when all the other "helped out" kids get together in a hideout, Aaron is seen in the background with them-- not smiling, of course.

* Blood-SplatteredWarrior: In a family-friendly variant of this trope, El Tigre is covered from head to toe with cactus juice when he utterly hacks the Cactus Kid's army to pieces. Other similar instances have occurred with substitutes such as oil (courtesy of Platna Peligrossa).
