This will probably not make much sense to anybody US-side. I grew up watching a mexican show called “Chaves”, about a homeless boy that lived in a small bunch of houses called a “villa”. A Villa usually consisted of a bunch of tiny houses that shared a common area, almost like the really poor cousin of a gated community. It had a cast of very odd characters, and generally veered towards slapstick comedy.
Anyways, the two videos below feature some of the characters from the show, but not doing anything they would normally be doing. Very funny if you ever watched the show with any kind of regularity (aka, anybody born in Brazil in the last 20 years)
And another one
Enjoy!

Good memories, good memories! Specially of watching Chaves (which is definitely funnier in portuguese than in spanish), but also of the music. I remember in our teens when those friends of hours were dj'ing the seminary graduation dance (Christian and his brother, I think), and thought it'd be a great idea to close it with Iron Maiden's "Fear of the Dark". Nobody really spoke English enough to understand the song, but people didn't really know what to do (dance? stare blankly?). At least until brother Ze' Rosa walked onto the stage and literally pulled the power plug on their equipment. Now that's a positive note to end a dance with!!
