El Chavo Del Ocho was a mostly family-friendly sitcom with catchphrases and slapstick humor, not to mention a few heartwarming moments when the neighbors show to genuinely care for each other despite their constant fights. However, some particular moments stood out as quite creepy, if not traumatizing for some who grew up watching it.
- In one episode, both Chavo and Don Ramón believe the latter is going to die, due to the words they were hearing from all others (they were actually talking about his upcoming birthday). At one point, Don Ramón feels so depressed about the misunderstanding that, when he looks himself in a mirror, the reflection shows an eerie, demonic-looking white skull with a black background. With a disturbingly melancholical take on the Funeral March for soundtrack!
- Doña Clotilde's house episode. The interior of her house looks like a haunted dungeon, where one can only hear evil screams and a wolf's howling, complete with Clotilde herself dressed like a witch and throwing a Voodoo Doll of Don Ramón at her magic caldron. Also, she plans to fed her cat, Lucifer, a chubby boy.
- Near the end of one episode, Chavo takes a needle and pinches Ñoño with it, causing the latter to pop like a balloon, literally. Thanks God for Negative Continuity, 'cause otherwise Ñoño would've been dead altogether.
- At the end of an episode, Señor Barriga got angry at Don Ramón pinching him and squashed him like in a cartoon. The fact that Don Ramón didn't move while he was squashed made him seem dead (the very last scene of said episode has La Chilindrina crying over him, which only makes it worse).
- At the end of an episode, Chilindrina asks why Chavo is crying. Chavo explains that in a moment of anger, he took Quico's clothes, threw them on the floor, threw dirt and even stepped on them. Chilindrina says she doesn't see a problem with that, until Chavo explains that he only realized too late that Quico was still wearing those clothes... and then the camera shows Quico lying on the floor, his clothes and face smeared with dirt, eyes open, not moving or even blinking, making it look like he's dead.
