"Simplemente Rita" (Simply Rita) was a very unusual combination of a telenovela (Latin American Soap Opera) and a cartoon show. A scathing parody of Telenovela clichés (as well as of the life of immigrants in the United States), it was produced by a Colombian animation company for the International Telemundo network from 2001 to 2003. It was in Spanish and ran for 30 episodes. It still reruns on some Telemundo affiliates.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The story was about a young woman named Rita who goes to New York City to try to achieve her dream of becoming a famous singer. She falls in love with a clueless former rich brat named José Gabriel who is also an immigrant, and her musical career is manipulated by Pete Duke, a candidate for city mayor who is desperately trying to earn the votes of the Hispanic community. Hilarity Ensues.You can watch it online (in Spanish) here [1]. | |

| Simplemente Rita / int_3fca462c | comment |
Deus ex Machina: All the major problems are resolved in the last episode, in a parody of the Happily Ever After endings of telenovelas. | |

| Simplemente Rita / int_6aee32d1 | comment |
Radio Drama: This is what the show is implied to be; we see the narrator broadcasting from a booth. He claims the events actually happened, but he's not exactly trustworthy. | |

Serious Business | |
| Simplemente Rita / int_6b35bdff | comment |
Serious Business: Latin food, drink and songs. To ridiculous levels. Not to mention their votes, which Duke is willing to do anything to get, including murder! | |

Shout-Out | |
| Simplemente Rita / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Several, to both Hispanic and American pop cultures. Most notably, Rita sings at the "Mala Vista Social Club", a reference to the famous Buena Vista Social Club. (Buena Vista meaning Good Sight, Mala Vista meaning Bad Sight.) | |

Just a Stupid Accent | |
| Simplemente Rita / int_db1ab4b1 | comment |
Just a Stupid Accent: Every character speaks in an exaggerated version of his national accent (including the American characters). This is a Take That! to many actual Telenovelas where the actors don't bother to adapt their accents to the setting. | |

| Simplemente Rita / int_e542d80a | comment |
Gonk: The Narrator, in an intentional contrast to his Wicked Cultured personality (he's broadcasting from a booth while wearing an undershirt and smoking a cigar.) Subverted in that he had surgery to look handsome for the woman he loved, only to discover she was ugly too. | |
