Pablo Francisco is a phenomenon.
Any doubts? “Oh my God, it’s a miracle”. I could describe him by simple enumeration of his gags. “Do you know it’s truth?”. I can’t even talk seriously about this guy. I bet he wouldn’t like it if I did.
First, I pay homage to his ability of imitating someone’s voice. Listening to Pablo with your eyes closed, you see Schwarzenegger right behind you. “Listen to me… They’re trying to take my tortillas…”. The range of moods he can imitate is infinite. Psycho woman, excited Mexican speaking English… even Droopy dog makes no barrier for him.
Maybe I’m not into the American culture, but I haven’t heard of a Latino guy who’d achieve such succes in North America. “You don’t even look like a Pablo… You look like a Bobby.” I am glad to see that a Latino makes some noise on the other side of the Rio Bravo and he is not one of the Zapatistas… But the fact he is not a ‘pure north-American’ doesn’t limit his jokes to just one social or national group. There’s nothing sacred for him: from chippendales dancers to movie previews guy, from Latino girls to Chinese barbers… E-ve-ry-thing!
I watch his show everyday and I can’t stop laughing. On the other hand, I wonder, this can be just a fad. I hope not. Well, I believe in Faulkner’s words telling that ‘there is no such thing as was’. When I see a Celine Dion poster, I imagine the big head she has. And I am sure that I will be imagining it till my memory goes away.
For now, I’m waiting for new shows and you can visit Pablo Francisco official website. Have fun!
