Through the book “El diario del Chavo del 8”, written in 1995 by Roberto Gómez Bolaños himself, Chavo’s real name was revealed, which is Rodolfo Pietro Filiberto Raffaelo Guglielmi.
Although this was not the only information about the character that came to light, but also his origin and curiously some fans of the sitcom took this information to know the identity of Chavo’s father, thus finding a character from “Chespirito ” which shows similarities. very suspicious.
The origins of Chavo del 8: his family and arrival in the neighborhood
Theories about “El Chavo del 8” abound on the Internet, such as the disappearance of “La Popis” in the series or the true profession of Señor Barriga beyond collecting rents. However, “El diario del Chavo del 8” presents us with the normal origin of the fictional character.
It turns out that Chavo didn’t know his dad, so his mom took care of him until one day she dropped him off at preschool to go to work. In doing so, he ended up in an orphanage run by Mrs. Martina, a woman who abused and beat orphans.
Because El Chavo was a big boy that couples didn’t dare adopt, she decided to run away in the middle of a storm so he wouldn’t have to continue to endure the abuse. He then reached the neighborhood, where he was greeted by an old woman who lived in apartment number eight.
Chavo del 8’s father is another character from ‘Chespirito’, according to fan theory
Although Chavo said his father “just had it and left,” fans of the show felt that the identity of this irresponsible father was hidden in another character created by “Chespirito,” so upon analysis they found in a sketch of ‘Los supergenios de la mesa cuadrada’ (1968) in a paletero who looked and acted exactly like El Chavo.
Both the paletero and the Chavo have an irritating and stubborn attitude, except for the episodes of “garrotera” (a disease invented by Gómez Bolaños in which the muscles are stretched causing very strange and funny postures) and they share the same strange cry: ” Pi pi pi”.
Although Roberto Gómez Bolaños did not comment on this fan theory, many know that his sketches and characters are often linked together in some stories, so the relationship between Chavo and the paletero would make sense, what do you think about it? ;
