Say it with us
Highly quotable.
My mother always says, never hit your enemy.
If you don't have the money for the rent, you are going to sleep in the street.
How dare you say that to the landlord, you uneducated lunatics!
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Framed as an English-dubbed episode of Chespirito's 1970s sitcom, complete with a retro opening title sequence, the sketch rebuilds the show's courtyard and its slapstick routines. Quico bounces his giant ball while needling Don Ramón, El Chavo smashes a pie into La Chilindrina's face, and the landlord Mr. Stomach arrives for the rent and nearly faints when Don Ramón can actually pay. After Doña Florinda storms out to scold Don Ramón for making the children cry, Profesor Jirafales finally arrives with roses for her, only for Quico to squeeze between them before their kiss.
A little extra
Notes from the archive.
SNL Archives lists the segment as "The Kid From Number 8". Florinda Meza, who played Doña Florinda on the original series, praised the homage on Instagram and joked that the interrupted kiss was a dream she wished had come true.
