Que pase el desgraciado became one of the most quoted lines from Laura en América, the Peruvian talk show hosted by Laura Bozzo that aired in the 1990s and became widely known across Latin America. The phrase was used to bring a guest, often someone accused of wrongdoing, onto the stage in front of a live audience. Clips of Bozzo's confrontational introductions later circulated online, where Spanish-speaking creators reused them as reaction sounds for betrayals, confessions and awkward reveals.
