SNL Fails Again: Now It’s Non-Latino Kenan Thompson Mocking Dominicano Legend David Ortiz

UPDATE, November 23, 2015: Thompson revisited Big Papi again. And we haven’t changed our opinion. Now we REALLY know that NBC’s Saturday Night Live does not give a crap when it comes to mocking Latinos. A few weeks back, we saw a non-Latina (Cecily Strong) fail with perhaps one of the most unfunny loud Latina […]

Be the Solution: Support Original and Authentic Latin@ Comedy

Comedy is a tough industry and the nature and pressure of the SNL schedule is even harder. We have a lot of peers, acquaintances, and friends on the show, so it’s tough for us to completely blame the performers for the lack of ingenuity because, to be honest, we’ve said it before and we’ll say […]

#ICYMI: The Daily Show’s “American Border Story”

In case you missed it last night, Stewart weighs in on immigration reform. Too bad some of the jokes were a bit too stereotypical (aliens? Chipotle? nachos?) and giving props to Sen. Schumer, but you get the point about the Republicans.

The Daily Show’s Fabuloso Response to Coca Cola #SpeakAmerican Ignorance

Leave it to The Daily Show to offer one of the best responses we have seen about the whole Coca Cola ad. Our only beef? You could have added a Spanish speaker in the response, but still, it does speak to the core issue here, one that has been too common.

Welcome to the #NoMames Hall of Fame, Georgia Rep. Paul Broun

Let’s say this together to Georgia Republican Rep. Paul Broun, who is running for Senate: #NoMames. Listen (link here).

Gawker Really Had to Explain to the World What Argentine Mate Actually Is

We are 100% convinced that the content obsession about Pope Francis has reached its bitter end when Gawker’s Ken Layne published a piece yesterday entitled, “Pople Drank: What’s Up With Pope Francis and His Pipe Thing?” and it got over 30,000 reads. This post basically explained to the culturally ignorant what mate is, and how (shocking) […]

We Just Wasted Five Minutes of Our Lives Watching This: A Telenovela Homework Assignment

On paper, it sounded promising: submit a video for your Spanish class. Then we saw it (video below), and we suffered. Here’s the scoop (via Gawker and Reddit): Julie Bryan submitted a film for her Spanish class, and got an A. Good for the amateur filmmakers and their really laughably bad Spanish, but bad for […]
