I think it’s because the threshold for “being haunted” is so low. If you think spirits are everywhere and regularly make themselves known, then your mind is primed to accept odd occurrences as supernatural. I worked with this dude that was such a heathenous scumbag, but if I said something like “the devil isn’t real” or some other blasphemy, he’d be all “You can not say that, güero!”
@@AMurillo622 and the ubiquitous superstition regarding spirits and shit. I left an egg to rot up on a ledge at work and a Guatemalan lady got scared that it was a curse Two Mexican dudes claim to have seen a ghost at work… Doesn’t help that they know about the guy that died there years ago 😂
The comedians I like rarely go to the Ontario Improv. It's always black guy doing, "you know you're black when" or a Latino guy doing, "you know your lady is the one when he has hot cheeto dust on her fingers" straight up retarded 😂
@@neighborhoodmusicsnob5517 it's not mexican specific, my family is dominican and some of my family members are extremely superstitious like that and believe in spirits and the devil, but I think it is way more common as a cultural norm in Mexico. You do also see it alot in the Caribbean
The Haunted room in the house is a real superstition. My old neighbors guest room was the "haunted" room and they would just use it for exercise and they kept the xbox in there. It might have been a way to scare my friend into not staying up late on the xbox though because a lot of Mexican superstitions are to scare your kids into not doing stuff. Like theres this story of the boogeyman that crawls on the floor and makes noises which was just to scare kids into not leaving bed at night no matter what they heard. I remember there was one that was intended to scare kids into basically ignoring "noises coming from the parents bedroom" but I can't remember what it is its probably the same as the last one.
This is so weird last time I hung out with my half mexican cousins that live in Texas they were talking about the huge mansion they stayed in and how it was haunted but only in the part the kids slept in.
the best part about the portugese guy bit it that nick just decided that apparently portugese pepole add unnecessary "j"s to every word and we were all like "yeah that checks out. thats so true." lol
I dated a latino girl and she told me her little brother went to the ground and started shaking at church because he was possessed by a demon and they had to exercise him or something
Most American families, they do x - but see my family is from Nepal/Korea/Somalia - so we don't play that shit. So, anyway, here's a half hour long impression of my mom.
the best standup experience i ever had was watching that george lopez special with my mexican girlfriend who kept getting pissed off because of shit like the haunted house thing or bits like "latinos NEVER go to the hospital" hahaha
