José Mota's catastrophic joke in 'El Hormiguero': "What is a Japanese?"

Spanish film visits to 'El Hormiguero' continue. After the passage of Kiko Veneno, the Pablo Motos program has received José Mota and Pepe Viyuela, who came to present the new comedy 'El hotel de los líos', a project by Ana Murugarren that opens in theaters on next Friday March 24th.

During their visit, the comedians starred in endless jokes along with the ants Trancas and Barrancas, although the moment that captured the attention of viewers was somewhat more uncomfortable. When talking about his hometown, Mota mentioned that people from La Mancha can greet each other with the Japanese, asking the set "What is a Japanese?" , who are covering the concoction".

This departure from the script caught Pablo Motos off guard, who usually has a very marked order in his television program. First, he greets his loyal viewers, leading to a short commercial break, after which he greets his guests for the day and begins the interview. However, José Mota and Pepe Viyuela arrived on the set with a change of plans: singing the classics of Los Payasos de la Tele.

After this unexpected performance, Pablo Motos reflected on it: "I imagine the people who are watching us are fans of Duki, Tini and all this new batch who will say: 'what are these doing? what are they singing?'" , to which Mota replied: "They have lost a marvel. When the lyrics made sense." The presenter, somewhat puzzled, revealed: "The truth is that I had not thought of starting the program like this."

Among the most outstanding moments of the evening, the comedian explained the origin of one of his famous phrases: "the chickens that come in through the ones that come out". Speck revealed: "It is based on true events, from a story that happened in my land of La Mancha. The pens where the chickens are are adjacent to the neighbors."

Continuing his story, the man from La Mancha added: "There were chickens that jumped from one corral to another. One day a neighbor told the other: 'Hey, I'm missing four chickens. Have you seen them in your corral?' He answers no, but at eight months, it's the other way around. The other neighbor comes and says: 'Hey, I'm missing eight chickens.' And he answers: 'Don't do numbers. ' Such is the law of compensation." The anecdote made Mota refer to the viral joke about the Japanese, something that could play a trick on him in networks.
