<p dir="auto">So you're watchin' a movie. You got your hands down your pants fondling your cheesy balls, sharing the popcorn with a first time date, your feet up on the guy's chair in front of you and despite his pleas to show a little courtesy you don't move them in fact you consider taking your shoe off to allow the aroma to infiltrate his nostrils. Just then in the film, a character shouts out something that may or may not be mundane, but they say it in Spanish. You're not Hispanic so you're all "Whatever!" but the Hispanics in the audience think it's the funniest sh!t ever, including your date who you're only now realizing is one hot tamale but, you know, when she was telling you all about the hardships she faced living in Puerto Rico as a little girl, you were busy fantasizing about how you were gonna give her the hot beef injection later that night. Probably before you ever made it home. Maybe in the car. While driving. Maybe in the movie theater bathroom your slimy, filthy little mind pondered.<br />
So I don't get it. It can't be inherently funny<br />
just<br />
because the character broke out in some Spanish. Is there some kind of unspoken sense of kinship here that a 100% cracker such as myself just don't get? Why is it inevitable that someone who speaks Spanish will find it funny every single time?<br />
You got the wrong guy, mang. I don't come off no banana boat.</p>

<p dir="auto">If I wrote anything explicit it would be a disaster.  It would just give people an even bigger and better excuse to treat me like crap.  That's all they want to do anyway.  It won't matter what I do or say, someone will find something wrong with it.  Apparently they've already decided they don't like me. I can't change that.<br />

<p dir="auto">We shouldn't even have movies that aren't completely in English.  If people won't learn the nation's language, they need to get out of our country.<br />
And here's what I don't get: You can post an obscene message like this and no one says anything.  If I posted anything close to this explicit, I'd be harassed and told to leave the board.  I don't care that it was posted and it doesn't bother me personally.  What I don't get and don't approve of is the double standard.  Everyone can post stuff like this and no one complains or takes any issue with it whatsoever, but if I'd posted it I'd be hassled.  All I have to do is say I don't like some movie or that I think some woman is ugly or a bad actress, or that I don't like whatever song or band, and the whole board comes down on me.</p>

<p dir="auto">A lot of things that are funny as hell in English, lose a lot when translated into Spanish. Well, the reverse is also true. But a guy who REALLY gets all kind of action from "hot tamale" latinas would probably tend to pick up A LITTLE BIT of Spanishunless he's a total dumbass. Hmmmm.<br />

<p dir="auto">I'm a full-blooded hispanic and yes sometimes the delivery of a word or phrase can be funny.for instance, take "que, que?". Que means "what" in spanish, but depending on delivery and context it's fkn funnyyou're probably saying to yourself what's so funny about saying "what, what?" and you're right thats not funny, but "que, que?" is funny in the right context</p>

<p dir="auto">Are you Hispanic? Do Hispanics just find something funny simply for being delivered in an over-the-top, stereotypical Latin way? For instance, Sofia Vergara's heavy accent in Modern Family. Not sure if that's how she really speaks, or it's exaggerated. She sure got some cans, though.<br />

<p dir="auto">ahhthat makes sense.sometimes a word in spanish has different meanings and although it's mainstream meaning is what is intended in the context of a scene it can also add subtext that illicitis alternate meanings that are hilarious in the mind of a hispanic</p>

<p dir="auto">Put it this way:<br />
If the character had said it in English, it'd either elicit a chuckle, or nothing at all.<br />
But said in Spanish, it's all of a sudden split your Calvin's funny.<br />

<p dir="auto">Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I really don't think it's what they're saying that they're laughing at, but that a movie that is almost primarily in English, has a character that breaks out in Spanish, even if it's just for one line.<br />
