Coco y Raulito: Carrusel de ternura

The title is a trap.

Carrusel de ternura sounds like a kiddie ride. El Aquelarre ranked the 56-minute Netflix hour fourth among Mexican stand-up specials in late 2018 and said the name is the joke. You expect two small, sweet people. You get black humor and the guilt that follows a laugh you were not supposed to take. Netflix's English logline stays cooler. latestnetflix.com's take is that Comedy partners and good friends Coco Celis and Raul Meneses alternate separate stand-up sets.The Spanish page adds "solo para golosos." Roku's one-liner names elderly grocery baggers, pizza burgers, and vegan poop as fair game.,,

TMDB dates the US drop to July 28, 2018. New On Netflix logged July 27. TV-MA on the service, 56 minutes, Spanish original, English subtitles. Jan Suter and Raul Campos directed. Coco and Raul wrote. BluePrint Content produced. Filmaffinity lists Netflix as distributor. Forbes Mexico put the pair at slots 6 and 7 on a 2018 list of standuperos with Netflix hours, next to Carlos Ballarta and Franco Escamilla. They were not a prestige two-hander. They were product from the same camera that was already grinding through Mexico City clubs.,,,

Raul Campos Delgado told the Los Angeles Times, later syndicated on Yahoo, that he and Felix de Valdivia pitched Netflix in 2014 on a Mexican stand-up scene US television had ignored. "There's something happening in Mexico right now that's really new and different. You guys should tackle this genre outside of the U.S," he said. After Ricardo O'Farrill tested the water, Netflix ordered 23 Latin American specials in three years, 13 of them Mexican, all directed and produced by Campos and BluePrint. He called the stretch "a cultural revolution." Coco y Raulito sat in that batch beside Sofia Nino de Rivera, Mau Nieto, Ballarta, and Daniel Sosa. UNoGS timestamps the global add as July 27, 2018, runtime 56 minutes 34 seconds.,

The Duende from Yautepec got the hour, then kept the friend.

Coco is Jorge Celis Castillo, a plastic artist from Yautepec, Morelos. El Sol de Cuernavaca traces him through a 2012 art master's in Cuernavaca, a 2014 Comedy Central Presenta audition, and the 2021 win on LOL: Last One Laughing Mexico season 3. Followers call him the Duende de Yautepec. The same profile names Carrusel de ternura as his Netflix special with Meneses, plus a later YouTube hour, Te crees mejor que yo. Ricardo Moya's El Sentido de la Birra interview in 2022 still pointed viewers at the Netflix set. That is the career math. One shared special, then Coco's own podcasts, LOL trophy, and club dates. Raulito stays in the credits as the friend who went first.,

In December 2020 Coco sat Raul down on his Que Yico podcast for an hour about how they became friends and built the show. The episode description is the rumor in plain language. "Mi amigo Raulito nos cuenta de como nos hiciemos amiguis y armamos nuestro show. Carrusel de ternura." Comments still treat the Netflix hour as a comfort rewatch. That is the afterlife. Not a leaked salary. Two comics from the Campos-Suter pipeline who kept talking after the credits, while the factory moved on to the next city.
