The 'Spanish Laughing Guy' meme, featuring the late comedian Juan Joya Borja (nicknamed 'El Risitas'), originated from a 2007 interview on the variety show Ratones Coloraos. In the original clip, Borja recounts a hilarious story about losing kitchen pans in the ocean, but the footage became a global sensation years later when internet users began adding fake subtitles to his high-pitched, wheezing laugh. Often associated with the Twitch emote 'KEKW,' the template is primarily used to mock corporate incompetence, software bugs, or ridiculous news stories where the narrator finds the situation absurdly funny. It remains one of the most versatile and enduring parody formats in internet history.
