I think my favourite episode was the one where they go to Acapulco. Just because El Chavo was always so down in his luck that it was nice to see him enjoy some life for once.

A true legend. You'll be missed

 

[zruben]

Even Maradona was a fan.

 

[Arkhanor]

Thanks for the memories, Chespirito :/

 

[Snowblindvictim]

I read this as "El Chapó" first.

RIP Chavo

 

[Tornado Condor]

Oh man, i got teary eyed looking at this

 

[friskykillface]

RIP

Bummer to hear, I watched it every now and then and when I was a kid

 

[CRS]

Amazing. Wish I was at my PC to make this into my avatar. Found my bro's laptop.

 

[RGVNOE]

just heard about this so sad I still watch el chavo del 8, he was the best, don't think we'll see anyone close to what he was R.I.P. chavo pi pi pi pi pi pi pi

 

[hunnies28]

It's funny how I seemed to enjoy his other acts (Los Caquitos, Chapulin Colorado, Dr. Chapatin) as a kid when El Chavo is his most popular character.
I enjoy the show more now as an adult watching reruns, nowadays humor in TV is all sex related or borderline bad taste.


Edit:Is it in bad taste if I ask for someone to add Chavo's hat from the picture above to my avatar? I think it's a nice touch.

 

[Fuu]

RIP. Part of my childhood and of pretty much everyone around my age that I know.

This is great.

 

[uberluigi]

I remember watching his show with my pops when I was a kid, good times RIP El Chavo.

 

[Dr. Buni]

El Chavo (Chaves in Brazil) was such a big part of my whole life. Thank you, Roberto.

 

[v1lla21]

RIP Chespirito. Chompiras was my favorite character you acted.

 

[xXxDieselxXx]

Grew up watching his shows. My kids even though didn't understand a word loved his shows when the reruns were playing few years ago.

same with my nephews, they watched the reruns when they were on, one of those comedians that didn't need to curse or be raunchy and was still funny

 

[entremet]

I used to watch his show with my parents as a kid.

Sad to hear. He gave us many laughs.

 

[Kandinsky]

Por la chucha esa imagen me llegó hasta el corazón DDDDD:

 

[xXxDieselxXx]

Farewell buddy !

 

[Rekwest]

Oh man. Loved watching Chespirito growing up. RIP

 

[smurfx]

Oh Chavo ( chaves for brzilians)!

I will feel really old when the whole cast of Chaves dies... Such a huge part of my childhood.

 

[SoldnerKei]

damn between that gif with the barrel and that image I don't know which gives me more feels...

and my fav catchphrases:

"es que no me tienen paciencia"
"siganme los buenos!"

 

[Vestal]

Farewell buddy !

One of the greatest Latin comedians of our time. I grew up watching all of his stuff(lived in Puerto Rico). Chavo del Ocho while a kids show, had a lot of very emotional situations that IMO are severely lacking from todays Kids programming.

"No contaban con mi astusia!"

 

[Shadow_FFVI]

It really is as big as when Robin Williams died, if not even more so (in latin america).
I was always really impresed with how his jokes were so simple yet so effective. Stuff that seemed obvious but only he could come up with. Jokes that you could here time and time again, and still find as funny as the first time you heard it.

I'm devastated, literally in tears. Such a legend.

 

[oyoshimaru]

Rest in Peace, and thank you for the wonderful times.

 

[RockTurtle]

During the struggles of my childhood, el chavo del ocho was one of the few comforts i had.

I will always remember this man's characters and stories. the world lost a great visionary. R.I.P.

 

[Mesousa]

Damn my Childhood!!!!

 

[feel]

RIP you legend.

Chavo Del Ocho is like the greatest TV show of all time, if I have kids and grandkids some day, they WILL watch and adore it too no matter how outdated the image and audio quality is by then.

 

[Slayer-33]

Wow... Damn.. People that know, this one is just God damn..

Acabei de assistir o especial do SBT

Spoiler

não achei que ia ser tão curto

e morri chorando.

 

[TTOOLL]

I cried.

 

[mantidor]

Damn all these specials from the news... it's like they are cutting onions all over the place T_T.

Cuando me preguntaban que si proyectaba crear un antihéroe, yo decía que no, que crearía un héroe; antihéroes son Supermán y todos los demás.

¿Cómo así?

Por ejemplo: si Supermán es capaz de detener en vuelo en el espacio un asteroide que va a chocar con la Tierra, no es un héroe. Es que quien puede hacer eso puede hacer lo que quiera, puede enfrentarse al problema físico que quiera. Ese no es un héroe. Es una caricatura de un ser inexistente e imposible. El Chapulín, en cambio, es un ser humano que enfrenta todas las crisis, incluyendo el más humano de todos los problemas: el miedo. El Chapulín siente un temor enorme, pavor a todo, pero lo vence. ¡Derrota su miedo y ahí se convierte en héroe! No es héroe el que carece de miedo.

Lo es quien lo siente, lo enfrenta y lo supera. El Chapulín no se enfrenta a alguien que quiere destruir el mundo, sino que ayuda a la señora del hogar, que no tiene quien la auxilie, a lavar los trastos, a limpiar la casa. En ocasiones, tiene que enfrentarse a poderes muy grandes y lo hace, pero no siempre gana, porque los seres humanos a veces ganan y a veces pierden.

 

[Fersis]

Que en paz descanse

Definitely a part of my childhood.
