[Brand Logo]( emergency discussion [The Refreshing Profanity of This Fool]( Chris Estrada’s Hulu comedy series is so specific with its use of Mexican American slang. Órale! Photo: Hulu You may have noticed a new show in your Hulu queue recently, and if you’ve watched it, you probably know it’s shaping up to be one of the year’s [funniest new comedies](. If you haven’t seen it, [boo](. Executive-produced by Fred Armisen and created by comedian [Chris Estrada](, This Fool stars Estrada as Julio Lopez, a self-proclaimed “punk-ass bitch” and nonprofit worker at an L.A. gang-rehabilitation center called Hugs Not Thugs. The series really kicks into gear when it pairs Julio with his fresh-out-of-prison and chaotically charming cousin Luis (Frankie Quinones). The two primos bicker and fight even if they love and occasionally can’t even live without each other’s codependent asses. It’s all so golden. Especially when the barbed insults and conversation are actual Mexican slang. “No mames,” “puto,” “pendejo,” “manuelas” (don’t repeat to your moms) roll off their tongues with no fanfare, no second thought, and boy, did it make This Fool all the more hilarious.
