It was popularized by Roberto Gomez Bolaños, best known as Chespirito, who created and played emblematic characters like El Chavo del 8 and El Chapulin Colorado. The phrase will now also be the title of an upcoming bio series on Max (formerly HBO), which will follow the life of the iconic Mexican actor.

The series will be produced by Max in collaboration with Warner Bros, Discovery and THR3 Media Group, as well as Roberto Gomez Fernandez, son of the late actor.
