El Pollo Yon is a pretty good example of why you should never take a bong hit before advertising a Mexican fried chicken franchise. I’ve scoured the net, and for the life of me, I can’t find any indication that people outside of Mexico know what the fuck a “pollo yon” is. I know “pollo” means “chicken” (thankyou, Monkey Island 3), but what is with the mascot? Why does that Mexican dude fly towards his meal? Is that guacamole or a severe infection?
And most importantly, is this even Mexican? Is it Spanish? Because if it is, I’m fairly certain I’ve just been spectacularly racist.

I bet it plays satanic messages if you play it backwards

Yeah…if you’ve ever seen Mexican TV (which I doubt most of Australia has) it’s all a little overplayed and at times bordering on melodrama. It’s like they saw American Vaudeville and thought “Ohhhh! That’s how acting’s done!” and never changed it.

I just watched that and my boyfriend started dancing in the chair next to me without knowing what it was. Apparently this is catchy. I would say more terrifying.

This video appeared in a dream I had recently. I was fairly scared.
