Mr. Raymond's Pizza Delivery (El Chavo Animado)

Mr. Raymond's Pizza Delivery (El repartidor de pizzas in the original)is the 18th episode of the third season of El Chavo Animado.

Why It's Not A Pizza Delivery

 * 1) This is nothing more than a Don Ramón torture episode with Señor Barriga forcing Don Ramón to work as a pizza delivery boy against his will.
 * 2) The kids are REALLY unlikeable in this episode since they're the main culprits in making Don Ramón suffer the entire episode. Señor Barriga is also very unlikeable in this episode.
 * 3) The episode starts with a filler scene showing the kids playing bowling that results in unnecessary torture with Don Ramón, for example:
 * 4) * Don Ramón accidentally swallows the ball and suffers from suffocation.
 * 5) * Chavo attacking Don Ramón with a broom to make him spit the ball
 * 6) * Don Ramón falls into the chair (after Chavo attacked him with the broom) and gets trapped inside the chair.
 * 7) * The ball falls heavily on Don Ramón's head (after being thrown into space) and the bottles fall on Don Ramón's head (and the ball again) knocking him out.
 * 8) * Doña Florinda accuses Ramón of being a drunk after seeing him knocked out on the floor with the bottles.
 * 9) Don Ramón's face after accidentally swallowing the ball (and also the coconut in the flashback) is very uncomfortable and to some extent creepy to see. The kids also make fun of Don Ramón, who is suffering from the ball in his mouth.
 * 10) It has some other unfunny jokes like for example:
 * 11) * The woman asking for a flyer from the man in the pizza costume just to clean her dog's poop. It can be considered a gross-out moment.
 * 12) * The scene shows a spider in Don Ramón's pocket, which looks like him.
 * 13) * Quico speaking into the megaphone for people all over the world to hear that Don Ramón will work as a pizza delivery boy.
 * 14) * Chavo, Popis, and Ñoño "transforming" by throwing flour at each other.
 * 15) * The filler scene in which Jaimito mistakes a street sweeper (who is a doppelganger of Ramón) with Don Ramón.
 * 16) * Chavo and Quico block Don Ramón's path when he needs to deliver the pizza to Florinda. Btw, Chavo just stands there like a statue during this scene.
 * 17) Ñoño starts the motorcycle for Don Ramón (even though he isn't ready to drive) and along with the other children, they ignore helping him stop the motorcycle which results in Don Ramón crashing and destroying the motorcycle in the wall, with Don Ramón having to be reprimanded by his boss and Barriga for that.
 * 18) The pizzeria's kitchen is inexplicably destroyed after the children serve the pizza to Señor Barriga. And that causes Don Ramón to be reprimanded again by his boss. We say inexplicably because the kids only tried to make the pizza, not literally destroy the kitchen up. Quico just knocked over the cupboard where Don Ramon was sleeping and the lap of water from the hose didn't reach into the kitchen.
 * 19) Illogicality: When Señor Barriga asks Don Ramon about his pizza, Popis appears with his hat and mustache stating that it was on its way. The matter is, how did he believe her if it was clearly obvious that it wasn't him and his voice was nothing like his?
 * 20) There is an animation error where, when Chavo and Ñoño grab the pizza dough, their skins change color.
 * 21) Chavo ignores Don Ramón's request to deliver the pizza to Jaimito and instead shares and eats the pizza with his friends. This doesn't make sense because Ramón had asked him to DELIVER the pizza and NOT eat the pizza.
 * 22) * In fact this can easily be interpreted as a mistake made by Chavo since "repartir" can mean either distributing or delivering in Spanish and Chavo (being dumb as he is) must have believed that Ramón asked to distribute the pizza in front of Jaimito's door instead of just leaving the box in front of the door. However, before that in the scene where Don Ramón is trying to learn to ride the motorcycle, Chavo wasn't being dumb, on the contrary, he was being much smarter than Don Ramón.
 * 23) Jaimito attacks Don Ramón by slamming the pizza box over his head just for not getting his pizza, which is something very mean-spirited. Overall Jaimito is also very unlikeable in this episode.
 * 24) The running gag involving Quico calling Don Ramón of "Chusma! Chusma!" and Doña Florinda and Chavo making the joke about Don Ramón's grandmother is unfunny, mainly because Florinda doesn't slap Ramón, Quico doesn't push Ramón and Ramón doesn't punch Chavo. Furthermore, Ramón makes a stupidly cheerful face after making the joke about his grandmother. Although the Don Ramon's punch at Chavo is no longer a surprise for the third season, with the others there had to be at least that.
 * 25) Bad Ending: After Don Ramón (and the kids) have done the pizzeria a huge loss, the pizzeria owner demotes Don Ramón to having to work handing out flyers in the middle of the street wearing the terrible pizza costume to have to pay for the damage he caused (needing to work for 13 YEARS!). Señor Barriga gets unhappy that Ramón couldn't get the money to pay the 14 months' rent and chases him.
 * 26) The kids aren't punished at any time for the problems they have done to Don Ramón.
 * 27) The Owner of the Pizzeria is very mean and is one of the main characters who just torture Don Ramón, and because of that, the owner never appeared in another El Chavo Animado episode after this one.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Don Ramón is the only likable character in this episode.
 * 2) It has some funny scenes, like for example:
 * 3) * The scene where the ball flies into space and hits ducks, planes, and satellites like a bowling ball.
 * 4) * When Chavo accidentally hits Señor Barriga with the ball following the classic running gag of the live-action series.
 * 5) * When Don Ramón turns after the pizzeria owner asks him to "take a turn" (on the motorcycle).
 * 6) * Don Ramón trying to drive the motorcycle like a bicycle.
 * 7) * The kids trying to make the pizza dough.
 * 8) * Señor Barriga eating the spicy pizza.
 * 9) The scene where Señor Barriga imagines Don Ramón as a character from a 1930s cartoon delivering pizza is amazing.
 * 10) Although poorly badly executed, the concept of Don Ramon working as a pizza delivery boy to get money to pay rent is very interesting.

Trivia

 * 1) The plot for this episode probably served as an inspiration for the season 4 episode Fresh Egg which is also a Don Ramón torture episode involving Don Ramón working as a delivery boy.
