Nerdy and cultural mexican memes that maybe only me understands
Yaaay, Happy Mexican Independence Day I guess! 😃🎉🎊🎇🎆🔔
To conmemorate it, I bring to you a compilation of mexican memes to celebrate the mexican culture, but maybe only me understands. I'll not blame you if you leave a dislike, I'll understand it! 😅 *Sighs*, it's a bit hard to be a mexican and a nerd at a time... But, I'll try to explain to you everything here:
1. Why do I use the xylophone and marimba? It isn't mainly an instrument from South Asia? Well, you see, when the Spanish arrived to México, they brought up many things with them from the other side of the world, like asian spices, and instruments, like the marimba.
2. 0:34 - There is a traditional dance from Michoacán called "La Danza De Los Viejitos" or "The Dance Of The Little Old Men" in which the dancers put on a mask resembling old men faces, and dance at a cheerful tone, later on, they appear tired but keep dancing, and that's the music I use here...
- There's a dance in Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker where Clara's grandparents dance. According to my father, Tchaikovsky used one of Brahm's pieces to mock him, practically calling him an old man. Tchaikovsky slowed down the rythm as well...
2. 1:43 - In México, when we go to get some traditional food like tacos, traditionally made ice creams or elote (corn), the seller usually will ask you how do you want it. "Any additions?" They offer you to add as many flavours you want. Salsa, lemon juice, cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, cream if it's something salty. When we want everything in it, we say "Con todo" or "With everything"
- In that Doctor Who Christmas Special episode, The Master, Doctor Who's nemesys, has been brought back to life but returns with some physical issues like having an unsaciable starvation that never ceases.
3. 1:57 - In Macario's story, written by B. Traven, probably freely inspired by the Brothers Grimm story “Death wants to be A Godmother” or “The Godson Of The Death.” the Death gives Macario a miraculous water that can heal anyone as long as the Death stays at the feet of the bed the sick person is lying down.
4. 3:10 - Turandot is an opera by composer Giacomo Puccini that tells the story of a chinese princess that is heartless and tests all of her suitors with three difficult questions that no one has been able to answer yet. If the contestant answer all of them wrong, they are senteced with death. The herald is about to proclaim this law, but if you are spanish, instead of hearing the italian "Popolo di Pekino: La lecce e questa" People of Pekin: The law is this" you end up hearing "People of Pekin: la leche cuesta" or in other terms: "People of Pekin: the milk is expensive"
5. 3:26 - Nothing much to explain here. In the mexican series of "El Chavo del Ocho" or "The Kid of the Eight" (there's not so much behind that name, is just a rhyme) Two of the characters, Doña Florinda, a single mom of a kid named Quico, and Professor Jirafales spend the whole time being that corny.
- Mérante and Odette belong to the movie "Ballerina" or "Leap!" spoiler alert, they appear separatedly until they meet in a key scene in the movie and show to have some slightly chemistry between them. No one was expecting that plot twist and as the movie progressed both become more close. The fandom became so wild for this ship.
6. 4:06 - That last music fragment belongs to a famous mexican dance from Jalisco, "El Son de la Negra" and everytime something has to end, we sing as a joke that fragment.
