The Serie ‘The guy from 8’ It is one of the most viewed and acclaimed productions in all of Latin America in recent times. Although it is not currently on the air due to Televisa’s problems with the family of Roberto Gómez Bolaños, fans remember the characters with great affection.
One of the actors who shone the most in the guy from 8 was Edgar Vivar who had the opportunity to give life to the insistent Mr. Barriga and his son No no. In some episodes, the man who collected rent from Don Ramon took center stage, and in others, the boy who was a friend of Chavo and the boys in Professor Jirafales’ class.
One of the great doubts that the public always had with the character No no It was who her mother was or what her real name was. But that was something that Chespirito was very good at, leaving something unfinished in his characters and then answering it in another series or several episodes later.
The truth behind the nickname No no It is somewhat confusing, because this idiom is used in several Latin countries such as Argentina to nickname boys who are very studious and who prioritize education over recreation or fun, but it was not with this intention that Chespirito named him.
No no It actually means that a child is a crybaby or complainer, and Mr. Barriga’s son was just like that. This could be seen especially in Professor Jirafales’s classes where Ñoño always had a complaint or burst into tears over some whimsical thing that only her father could fulfill.
