It’s a real-life recreation that belongs to Chespirito’s son, Roberto Gómez Fernández. Here he is giving a Colombian TV crew a tour of the building:

FIFA21 Releasing ‘El Chavo Del Ocho’ Uniforms To Honor The Icon For Limited Time

“El Chavo del Ocho” is one of the most iconic shows in the Spanish-language world. The tv show spawned some of the most beloved characters, including the namesake of the show. FIFA21 is getting in on the fun of highlighting the character to honor its 50 years of touching lives.

You can wear a special Chavo del Ocho uniform in FIFA21.

“El Chavo del Ocho” is one of the most culturally important shows in the Spanish-speaking world. The Mexican sitcom gifted us Chavo del 8 and Chilindrina and we are all better for knowing those characters. The show, which ran for almost nine years, is still celebrated and loved today.

The uniforms are available for only a very short time.

FIFA 21 players can access the uniform between Dec. 10 to 13. The outfit isn’t outright free. Players have to accomplish three challenges and will then be granted access to the Chavo del Ocho kit. Who wouldn’t want a chance to play in the Chavo del Ocho kit?

Soccer players who wear the kit in the game are excited to be part of the celebration.

Who wouldn’t want a chance to be part of video game history. It isn’t every day that a video game version of yourself gets to wear an outfit that gives praise to one of the greats. If there was ever a highlight in life, this would definitely be one of them.

Some are thinking of it as a sweet homage to Chespirito.

Roberto Mario “Chespirito” Gómez y Bolaños is responsible for some of Mexico’s most important characters. The actor brought several characters to life on the television but none more iconic than Chavo del Ocho. If it were not for Chespirito, we would have never got to see Chapulin Colorado fight off the bad men or Chavo del Ocho interactions with La Chilindrina.

Who else is getting excited about the debut of these kits?

Snapchat Added A ‘Chavo Del Ocho’ Filter And People Across The Internet Are Happy AF

Multimedia app, Snapchat, which is known for their fun and creative filters, temporarily added a filter to celebrate the birthday of iconic Mexican actor and comedian, Roberto Gómez Bolaños. Commonly known by his stage name, Chespirito, Bolaños is best known for his role as El Chavo in Mexican television series, “El Chavo del Ocho.”

Although Bolaños passed away in 2014 due to heart failure, he was brought back to life in this detailed Snapchat filter and people across the Internet expressed their nostalgic emotions about both the show and the actor.

Several people across the internet were completely shook when they found out this filter existed.

The detail of the torta included in the filter was definitely a bonus.

Some fans took a moment to remember Bolaños and what he appreciated most about his role in “El Chavo del Ocho.”

“Si algo aprendí del Chavo del Ocho es que se puede ser feliz y sonreír sin tener nada,” is what Bolaños said when he was asked what his role in the show meant to him.

In English this means, “If there’s something I learned about ‘El Chavo del Ocho,’ it’s that you can be happy in life and you can smile without having anything.”

Comedian Cristela Alonzo, had some fun with the filter and posted a video of her reenacting El Chavo’s love for tortas.

There was no doubt that the addition of this Chavo del Ocho filter was a very special moment for many Latinos.

My best friend’s nickname was also La Chilindrina growing up.

Since many Latinos grew up watching “El Chavo del Ocho,” seeing this filter come to life gave them major nostalgia.

Talk about throwback. ❤️

The fuzzy gorro and detailed freckles took many Snapchat users back to their childhood.

Even though several Snapchat users were upset about the app’s recent change in format, this filter made up for it.

Overall, Latinos are extremely happy and appreciative about the filter and hope to see more Latinx television icons featured as filters on the app.

Who votes for La Chilindrina to be next? ?
