The Cuban comedian Mario Sardiñas, celebrated for his role as Chequera in the hit show "Vivir del Cuento," once again stirred laughter and buzz across social media. This time, his video on Instagram captured him in disbelief after discovering a set of furniture left on a street in the United States.
In his post, Sardiñas wrote, "Chequera stumbles upon a discarded furniture set in the yummm...!" The video shows his reaction to finding a sofa and an armchair, both seemingly in good condition, casually placed on the sidewalk.
While this sight might be ordinary for many in the U.S., it becomes a source of sheer wonder when viewed through Chequera's Cuban comedic perspective.
Throughout the video, the character expresses his amazement, exclaiming repeatedly: "I can't believe it, I can't believe it. Showbiz, look at what's left here. Wow, such an amazing furniture set."
Amidst laughter, he even lies down on the sofa, joking about taking it to his "little room," and humorously declares that if it doesn't fit, he'd consider selling the room itself.
"I'll sleep on the street with the furniture, that way I won't fear building collapses," he commented, referring to a frequent concern in Havana, where building collapses are commonplace.
True to his carefree style, Chequera keeps the jokes rolling as he inspects the furniture. "Forget about bedbugs. I've been living with the santanilla for years, showbiz, what harm could it do?" he quips, downplaying any potential health risks.
He concludes with yet another spontaneous remark: "I love people who pay attention to details, but I love street furniture even more. That's it."
This episode adds to a series of recent appearances by Mario Sardiñas on social media from Dallas, Texas.
Although the actor hasn't officially announced his move to the U.S., his Instagram activity suggests he's engaged in promotions and collaborations with local businesses, prompting numerous welcome messages from fans.
The actor's presence in the U.S. has also evoked nostalgia among "Vivir del Cuento" fans, who hope for a reunion with the show's other cast members now residing outside Cuba, like Luis Silva (Pánfilo), Andy Vázquez (Facundo), Omar Franco (Ruperto), Irela Bravo (Cachita), and others.
For now, Chequera seems to relish this new chapter in the "yuma," marveling at the mundane, adjusting to the pace of American life, and most importantly, keeping his Cuban humor alive, transforming an abandoned sofa into an unforgettable scene.
