Sorry, we know, we know, but we HAD to share just one more “Harlem Shake” video. Watch. This one hits WAY TOO CLOSE TO HOME. Help, please.

You go, Colbert. Great to see the GEO Group Stadium story getting some attention where it matters. On Comedy Central. Here is the clip. The Colbert Report Get More: Colbert Report Full Episodes,Political Humor & Satire Blog,Video Archive

We found NotiManches via our Chicago contacts, and we are glad we did. This is exactly what we need more of: Spanish-language comedy with more edge and a lot more wit. Intelligent comedy in Spanish. What a concept. It’s about flipping time. Here are NotiManches’ first two videos. Let us know what you think. This […]

Yeah, we went there. Finally. This one is for Cantinflas. Hit it.

Sometimes when it comes to social media and the constant perceived pressure by brands to go “viral,” the end result can be perplexing, and you can have your fans just shaking their heads. Take, for example, the Facebook page of Bud Light Phoenix. Now we won’t get into the local history of the Hensley Company, […]

This is why SNL frustrates us: even when they are funny, it seems that they can’t pull it off completely, that the privilege is just too engrained in its writing staff. Case in point: the show’s “Starbucks” commercial parody from this weekend. No doubt, the idea was really funny. Generally speaking, Starbucks are notorious for […]

Here’s something you don’t see every day. A perfume that smells like a tamal. Yup, that is what one Latina is trying to capture as a way to “capture the culture” of Chicago’s famed Pilsen neighborhood. Here is what DNAInfo.com Chicago had to say about Zorayda “Z” Ortiz and her latest tamal-inspired scent: Part of […]

It was bound to happen, as social media in Latin America continues to explode, chances are that we will begin to see more Spanish-language content going viral. Such is the case of El Pichy Films’ “Peter La Anguila (Peter the Eel)” video, which has struck the jackpot the last few months. Our friends at VOXXI […]

Forget it. We can’t save you on this one, Miss Venezuela. Here’s our advice. Next time, give your answer in Spanish. It’s cool. Because we really have no clue what you said, and all this does is perpetuate the ugly Latina bimbo stereotype that will just make a mockery of you now. Let the Internet […]

Last night on The Daily Show, correspondent Wyatt Cenac filed his last report ever with a segment from Puerto Rico about WAPA-TV’s “SuperXclusivo” show, which has recently faced a very public boycott after the show’s puppet host, La Comay, made comments about dead publicist Jose Enrique Gómez. Advertisers continue to pull out from the show, […]

Just when we thought that Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) was going out on a limb and telling the world that Pitbull ain't no Tupac or Eminem (TRUTH!), a story by NBC Latino published today just proves that Rubio is just another politician who likes to offer music critiques and delete tweets. Now the Miami native is […]

Yeah, we are fans of comedian Bill Santiago. So for all those who keep us asking the question, "Hispanic or Latino?," we will let Santiago explain it for you. Yeah we have been following Santiago for a while. One of our favorite clips was from 2006, when he appeared on Comedy Central. Comedy Central If […]

You know why we love the Internet? Right here. This is why. This video has been around for four years, 8 million views, and it came through our feed today. We are glad it did. Hilariously brilliant. Song is "Ante Up" by M.O.P.

FYI, Cecily Strong isn’t even Latina. Yes, we know: we really want NBC's SNL to actually start producing Latino-themed comedy that is actually good. We love it when SNL gets all political, but when it comes to Latino humor, the show has been missing the mark since… forever. This is what happens when your writing staff […]

Yes, we get it. American brands in the United States know that the Latino consumer market is the NEXT BIG THING, and there is a frantic rush for these brands to authentically connect with these consumers. That is not the issue here. The issue is this: when you think of Clorox Bleach, do you really […]

Last night @MexicanMitt, Twitter's #1 political parody account (according to Politico) was suspended by Twitter a few hours before the real Mitt Romney was to give his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Tampa. After confirming the news with our friends at Pocho.com, we shared the news, and it also made NBC Latino. The […]

UPDATE: August 31, 2012, 9am EST: @MexicanMitt is back on Twitter. On the night that Mitt Romney was to give his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, reports from our friends at Pocho.com have confirmed that the Twitter account of @MexicanMitt has been suspended. Today Pocho got an advanced copy of the speech that MexicanMitt was […]

So it appears that the political distractions will continue. Now the US English-language media has started ripping up a story that Governor Mitt Romney shows a preference for vaginas because he was on a Spanish-speaking radio show in Miami and said that "mangoes, papayas, and mangoes" are his favorite kinds of  Cuban fruits. Granted, the […]

Let's just say that of everything that is in the following video below, the only thing that really made us laugh was the old lady that kept screaming "¡FUERA!" After that, we were a bit perplexed about what this whole Siesta Mundial was all about. Luckily we have smarter blogger friends and since Mi Blog […]

We got the following video from @FunnyLatino today on our Facebook wall and we are glad we did. Román Suárez is a Bronx-born comic/actor/writer. He is one of the countless of talented individuals who have connected with our online communities. Suárez offered this video response to the New York Times piece called "Networks Struggle to Appeal […]

Last night on The Daily Show, Al Madrigal "smuggles America-style smear tactics into Mexico." Now if The Daily Show only covered #YoSoy132, THAT would be very cool.
