Fue sin querer queriendo, “it was without wanting, wanting,” is what El Chavo says to explain things he did not mean to do. El Chavo is the boy at the center of El Chavo del 8, the comedy by Roberto Gómez Bolaños, known as Chespirito. When a rude word slips out of him, he says se me chispoteó, “it sparked out of me.”
The series began as its own program on February 26, 1973. Its last episode aired on January 7, 1980.
