Luis Alba Garcia (born March 7, 1945 in Veracruz) is a Mexican
comedian, famous for his character El Pirrurris (the presumptuous son
of a millionaire). He also made other characters such as "El Raton
Crispin" (Crispin The Mouse) in which he dressed as a big fat rat from
Veracruz. His typical line was, Te odio con odio Jarocho, which means
"I hate you with Jarocho (meaning from Veracruz) hatred". El Indio
Maclovio and Juan Penas were also two very famous characters he acted
out on several shows.His most famous TV program was El Mundo De Luis
de Alba, (The World Of Luis de Alba), where El Pirrurris and other
characters regularly appeared. After this program was canceled he
spent many years away from television but retransmissions of the show
were popular. In 2004 he came back portraying the Pirrurris once again
in one of Jorge Ortiz de Pinedo's adult-oriented comedy shows, set in
a primary school where the students are played by adult actors. In
2005 he got a new show where he plays the Pirrurris as well as his
other characters. He is currently appearing in a show called "Los
Chuperamigos" in Estrella TV with other actors such as "La
Chupitos".Created sometime in the 1970s, the character is a very rich
young man with a haircut similar to that used by the Beatles in their
early years and depicts sarcastically and exaggeratedly the stereotype
of a so-called "fresa". He enjoys deprecating low- to middle-class
people with illusions of grandeur, airs of importance, bad taste, and
colorful (low class) slang, while at the same time emphasizing his own
importance and class-superiority, using a lot of "high class" slang.
The people he deprecates are pejoratively called nacos. Pirrurris
refined the ridicule of nacos into nacology, the study of the naco.
Sitting behind a desk, he would explain the naco to his audience in
scientific terms.
