Professor Jirafales is the schoolteacher in El Chavo del Ocho, the Mexican television comedy created by Roberto Gómez Bolaños that became a beloved fixture across Latin America. His goal shout borrows the excitement of a football broadcast and names Pelé, the Brazilian star whose goals became shorthand for greatness. Shared as a short reaction clip, it travelled through football edits, WhatsApp groups and meme pages, where its theatrical celebration fits both genuine goals and deliberately overblown everyday wins.
À propos de ce son
Professor Jirafales shouts an excited 'Goool de Pelé!' in this El Chavo del Ocho clip, often used in football memes and reaction videos to celebrate a goal.
The clip captures Professor Jirafales, the stern schoolteacher from El Chavo del Ocho, abandoning his usual composure to belt out a stretched, triumphant goal call for Pelé. His voice rises, holds the long 'Goool' and lands with delighted emphasis, turning a simple celebration into a burst of comic excitement. Because the delivery is so over-the-top and instantly recognisable, it works as a punchline in itself, making an ordinary goal, win or funny moment feel bigger, louder and far more dramatic than it really is.
