El Chapulín Colorado was created by Mexican comedian Roberto Gómez Bolaños, known as Chespirito, and first appeared on television in the early 1970s. The red and yellow hero became hugely popular across Latin America, especially in Brazil where he is known simply as Chapolin. His clumsy rescues were often announced with bold, old fashioned television music, including bright trumpet cues. Clips and fan edits later carried those sounds to soundboards and meme edits, where the fanfare now signals a retro hero arriving, usually with more confidence than skill.
