El Chavo Del Ocho (English Version)

Bad Bunny guides the SNL cast through an English language version of his favorite show from growing up, "El Chavo Del Ocho" (The Kid From Number 8). The sketch is a loving homage to the iconic 1970s Mexican sitcom created by Chespirito (Roberto Gómez Bolaños) that became a cultural phenomenon across Latin America, Brazil, and other parts of the world. The parody faithfully recreates the look, feel, and essence of the original show, with cast members perfectly mimicking the personalities and mannerisms of the beloved characters. The sketch captures the wacky, physical comedy style of the original sitcom, which centered around an 8-year-old orphan boy who lived in a barrel inside an apartment complex (vecindad) and all the trouble he got into with his neighbors due to misunderstandings. This was the final sketch of the night and represented a significant cultural moment for SNL, bringing Latino culture to the mainstream audience.
