giant disclaimer that I don't speak spanish well in the slightest, my brothers and mom do but I am cooked
31 minutos is a show that had a really big grip on me in my sophmore year of highschool. It's humor deeply appealed to me and I might've found the show because of Juan Carlos and Tulio shipping uhm... and yeah I also like that part of it... gulp.
-----My favorite character is Juan Carlos because I am JUST like the other girls, but I also really like Policarpo, Juanin, Tulio and I'm just going to name every character because they're all great!! Literally can't think of a flop because even that doll at the begining of the show has a crazy comeback if I remember correctly (it's been a while since I've watched it).
My favorite song is probably Yo Pino or Lala, but I also really like Bailan Sin Cesar and Tangananica Tanganana.
-----Anyways, one of these days I'll actually learn spanish and I can watch more of the show and the movie because as it stands I am scared to download a version with English subtitles to my laptop from a sketchy website...
I also need to go to Chile so I can see the museum exhibit... someday...
31 Minutos is a Chilean puppet show that ran from 2003 to 2005! It follows a very uh... interesting cast of characters who run a news station that covers all sorts of wacky topics.
This show is super funny, and a really good watch. The humor is very absurd and very clever I don't even know how to describe it. The characters are all great and silly and have interesting dynamics with each other. Not to mention theres a lot of musical segments, and the songs are all really great too!
Juan Carlos is an angry red bunny who does the environmentalist "green notes" on the news station, despite not really caring about the environment that much. Despite this being a show for children, his favorite hobbies include drinking, smoking, gambling and asking Tulio for money because he spent all of his gambling. He is also apparently a playboy FREAK.
But what you little freaks are really here for is for me to talk about his relationship with Tulio because what the freak. Juan Carlos and Tulio sure have uhm.. a dynamic. Tulio, as the anchorman, has the job that Juan Carlos wanted and he thus resents someone whose supposed to be his bestfriend. Doesn't help that Tulio's stupid. With that being said, they are sooooo in love like. Juan Carlos wants this stupid dumb idiot and thats the real reason why he resents him so, trust. He told me.
He also has a niece and nephew that he hangs out with which is cool.
Tulio is the stations anchorman and he is very very dumb and stupid. Like his level of incompetance is unmatched. He introduces all the different segments of the news, and through this it is very clear that he doesn't know anything about anything. He is also mean to Juanin and very very scared of his boss which is like... king ngl
Despite his girlfriend Cindy, this freak has crazy homoerotic feeling for Juan Carlos and thats just the truth. Sure, he may be giving him money because he's a stupid idiot, but it could also be because he loooovveeesss him??? Maybe??? Please. Just give me this.
Tulio is also probably my favorite puppet design... I just really like the sock mmonkey vibes and the opening into where he drives the car and tries on the different outfits, it makes him look really silly and like... throwable. I think I could punt this pathetic man across a football field and I'm not even that atheletic..
Juanin is the show's producer and coordinator, making sure everything runs smoothly. He's in most episodes reminding Tulio that they are on air and that he needs to lock in and do his job.
Juanin is really polite, shy and naive. He definetly gets taken advantage of a lot and uh.. idk I feel like everyone is mean to him all the time and he didn't do anything except be a sweet little boy. I've heard that he's a major part of the movie, but uh... I haven't watched it, because again I'm scared to download a cersion with english subtitles... He's also in the bestfriend gang with Tulio and Juan Carlos, but again, they are mean to him.
Anyway, I love Juanin and his silly voice, I tried to do it to my mom and she told me that my accent was terrible and I should really learn spanish for real so uh... thanks Juanin Juan Harry.
