RIP. He was a legend.

How are you guys around Latin America taking the news?

Over the brasilian internet people are really sad. Its not that it was unexpected, its just that it was really a huge part of our childhoods.

From the poor to the rich, everybody watched, everybody laughed, everybody knew the lines by heart.

 

[jossueinacoma]

Black Friday indeed

 

[Kandinsky]

Chespirito basically meant "little Shakespeare" a director gave him the name.

omfg mindblown.

D:

 

[Zozz]

No contaban con mi astucia!

My god this is so sad, huge part of my childhood, gone...

 

[ratcliffja]

Pipipipipi... I worked on an El Chavo app and heard that a lot. The guy was clearly a comic legend in Hispanic culture. RIP.

It's all over the news here in Peru, even the news anchor took it hard, she looked like she was about to cry but had to hold her tears, they're broadcasting Televisa's homage now.

Its tough his death is Robin Williams type of shocking in Latin America.

 

[New002]

Noooooooo :/

 

[tbm24]

I went to youtube to find a video of El Chavo del 8 and as soon as the theme started I got teary eyed . Gotta say I haven't heard it in YEARS.

 

[Feltrol]

Wherever you are, I hope you find the rest you deserve.

You won't be forgotten.

Rest in peace, Chavo.

I dunno. I don't watch live TV and no radio either. But i guess is going to be a mess later in the news and on televisa.

Yup, El Chaves was BIG in Brazil, bigger than anywhere in L.A. i guess the brazilian people are going to be even sadder.

Platy, pls respond. Are u ok?

 

[Guimac09]

This man made me laugh since I was born, but today he makes me cry for the first time.

Spoiler

second time actually, I once cried because of an episode when I was little

Rest in peace chavito, eternal in my heart and immortal in my verses.

 

[HardRojo]

Pressing that F so hard.
I was shocked when Robin Williams passed away, this is even more shocking news

 

[Ganzlinger]

Bolaños last tweet:

(answering a Brazilian fan)

 

[Javier]

Every afternoon after school it was an episode of El Chavo on TV. A huge part of my childhood died today. I'll miss him.

Descansa en Paz Chespirito.

 

[Eternal Gamer]

¡Chanfle!

He made me laugh so much when I was a kid.

 

[The_eJoker]

One of my oldest memory is reading a Chaves comic. RIP, you will be missed.

[Unai]

Oh man, I'm literally crying here. I have never cried when some famous died ever.

Such a bummer.

RIP.

 

[Corronchilejano]

A woman where I work was crying earlier today, apparently she's a friend of one of Bolaños' daughters. Seems he was dying since last night. RIP.

 

[zero shift]

RIP. He was perfect for his role.

Thank you very much now I'm in tears...

 

[AdanVC]

Here's one part from an episode of El Chavo with english subtitles for those outside Latin America who are interested to know more about Chespirito's TV shows, this is from 1976 I guess?? The episode is called "El Alacrán" (The scorpion) and this is one of my favorite episodes, damn funny.

 

[TheJLC]

RIP.

Seriously man,i think it's the first time i really get's this sad about a death of an artist,and the first time i cry for the death of a person that isn't a parent/friend.I think everyone who has grown up at 1990/2000 in Brazil are having the same feeling as me atm.

 

[CRS]

An influential legend, gave birth to the Bumblebee Man from the Simpsons.

 

[zruben]

The best and most creative writer, comedian and producer in the history of Mexican entertainment has passed away.
A very sad day for us Mexicans and most of Latin America.

Thanks for all the laughs Chespirito.

 

[zruben]

This is cruel. I couldnt take this song when i was a child, no way im gonna watch this now.

Its really impressive how Chaves was important to all of us

 

[HardRojo]

I'm pretty sure Chespirito will be the conversation topic when I go out to drink later today :/ It's going to be a sad night.

 

[tm24]

Man, I'm sad now. One can argue who was Mexico's greatest comedian, but the world is a sadder place now that neither are with us

 

[Horseress]

I'm 27 yo, I know he was already really old, but man.......I'm criyng, fuck everithing....

 

[tbm24]

It's been the topic of conversation here at my job where all my coworkers are latin and and older than me. We spent the past hour watching bits on youtube. They will never stop being funny.

 

[Lum1n3s]
