El Chavo del Ocho is a Mexican sitcom created by Roberto Gomez Bolanos, known as Chespirito, and first broadcast in the early 1970s. Its main character, El Chavo, is a poor orphan boy living in a neighbourhood courtyard, famous for his striped shirt, green hat and innocent excuses. Se me chispoteo became one of his most quoted catchphrases, repeated across generations in Latin America and Spain. Online, the line survives as a reaction clip for blunders, shared in memes, short videos and soundboards among Spanish speaking audiences.
