In the pantheon of Latin American pop culture, few figures loom as large—or stumble as gracefully—as El Chapulín Colorado (The Red Grasshopper). Created by the legendary Mexican comedian Roberto Gómez Bolaños (known universally as "Chespirito"), the character first appeared in 1973 as a sketch within the Chespirito television program. What began as a parody of inept superheroes (think Superman with chronic anxiety and a mallet) has since transcended its humble, 30-minute sitcom origins to become a global entertainment juggernaut.
