• This is from Muchachada Nui... "La Hora Chanante" and "Muchachada Nui" are basically the same show, with the same cast and crew, but the first one was on Spanish version of Comedy Central and this one is from spanish public network. The show is a sketch show a la Monty Pythons or Kids In The Hall... But if you really want Bizarreness... Watch this "Batman El Musical", from Argentinian show Cha Cha Cha, which had the same kind of nerdy bizarre humour than the previously mentioned shows... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPilp0JvzxY

• I like seeing other countries with a real sense of humor making fun of people like that

• Dude, si revisas el panhispánico de dudas (http://buscon.rae.es/dpdI/SrvltConsulta?lema=estar) vas a ver que hay dos opciones reales en esto: o para el mundo hispánico la locura es una condicion no inherente a un ser sino a una situacion, lo cual podría simplemente explicar porque desde Espana, pasando por Mexico y terminando en Argentina estamos todos jodidos para la mierda y nunca asumimos nuestra locura como algo que nos pertenece. O, este caso es excepcional. De todas formas yo he oído cosas como: "Este tipo es loco", y esto suena normal; pero por alguna razon "El senor Alan Moore es loco" no suena bien, simplemente no.

• Pienso que "ser" es el verbo correcto, pero no se mucho sobre espanol.

• Tienes toda la razon. Es dificil explicar la diferencia entre el verbo "ser" y "estar" a los gringos comicos estos. :)

• well, you can also say "el Senor Alan Moore es un loco" (sounds more like "it's a crazy man") but "es muy loco" sounds weird in Spanish. the use of 'ser and 'estar' is one of the more difficult things to teach to native English speakers, I think. Also, the type of humor in this videos is certainly very particular, not only the slang is from Spain, part of the language used (for all the "celebrities" that they show, not only Mr Moore) is from certain rural regions of Spain, and that makes more ridiculous the parodies. I only wish they could make one of this videos for Dolph Lundgren.. ;)

• But do they then retcon Moore into something other than a curmudgeonly old bastard? Not sure I want THAT. Otherwise -- win!

• Word.

• Wait, you're correcting the spanish of a native speaker? Also, as a Mexican I had to read the subtitles to get some of the Spanish slang (yes, it's that different from Mexican slang)

• Why?

• Btw, Rob, just for the record: If you wanted to say "Spanish Alan Moore is very crazy" the actual translation is: "El Alan Moore espanol está muy loco"... And the thing with the actual show is that they use some wicked spanish slang, and that makes a 50% of the jokes, so if you can't get the spanish slang you're missing half the fun. But yes, I must admit, no matter how weird this was, it doesn't compare to the actual Alan Moore.

• Te apuesto, Franco, que te hiciste la paja antes de escribir esto.

• ¿Que tal si decimos "El senor Alan Moore está muy loco" o tal vez "está bien loco"?

• I like some of Alan Moores stuff. But to be completely honestly the guys is a fucking douche, and puts me off from reading his stuff because of that. I'm sick of people pandering to the guy just because he's written some great comics. Lets call a spade a spade here people. The guy is a complete and utter nut bag who has a complete over abundance of self worth. *Steps down from soapbox*

• the bjork one was pretty good too... not sure if that was hora chanante or muchachada nui...

• the bjork one is actually pretty funny...

• True, but doesn't "estar" only deal with temporary states? I think Rob was trying to say that the guy IS crazy. Like, that's a character trait, which from what little Spanish I have taken would mean to use "ser".

• kind of scary how that guy looks close to the real Alan moore. though doubtful Alan would eat a copy of watchman he would ask his god to set the thing on fire. and no doubt if the real Alan sees this thing ever he would love the thing.

• Yo Compraría eso por un Dolar :)

• Hi! Greetings from Spain! I follow this page everyday and I'm pretty surprised that this video (from a popular, talented and a bit nerdy TV show) appears here!! for info only, the correct way to translate the title used by Rob is "El Senor Alan Moore está muy loco" ("to be" is used in Spanish with two different verbs, "ser" and "estar") If you search for "celebrities muchachada" there are a lot of popular characters

• I think my brain exploded from the mere idea of that.

• Moore IS a crazy old bastard. He's a talented guy, I love his work, but Jesus he's such a whiny pussy and a drama queen.

• ALso...that's not V for Vendetta. That's From Hell. Noob.

• This is actually some spanish TV-Show which features some bizarre and fucked up humor, called La Hora Chanante. They have some sketches about more people, Hulk Hogan, Mark Hamill and so forth. <3 Spanish stupid humor. ANd yes, I live in Spain.

• I would say that I wish I had a time machine.. So I could go back in time and tell myself not to watch this.. However, my description of why I shouldn't waste my time watch this, would only make me want to watch it more..

• I'm pretty sure that Senor, is just like Mr---"Mr Alan Moore is very crazy"

• Now there's an idea with some hutzpah!

• So we have El Senor Alan Moore and Alan Moore-chan. With "normal" Alan Moore covering the Brits, it won't be long before the entire world has a different Alan Moore ethnicity. And then, of course, the epic crossover "Crisis on Infinite Alan Moores" where the Anti-Moore seeks to undo all of existence.

• This is amazing.... it's like a nerdy drug trip.

• Pretty close, Rob. It should be "El Senor Alan Moore Es Muy Loco" according to what I've learned.

• Where can I get my hands on some ancient snake goods?
