I love George Lopez because he tells it like it is. All families are dysfunctional on some level and he has some great stories about that but he does it in an endearing way. You walk away from his shows laughing and reminiscing about the crazy times with la familia. He just makes you feel good about being who you are.

Oh my goodness, It is almost as if George was living in my family. What can't I relate to. "I Member" once I was acting up in the store and boy did my mom know how to hide the fact that i was getting by butt whip, she was all hitting me on my butt and having to say a word with every swat, "didn't(swat) I (swat) tell(swat) you(swat) to(swat) stay(swat) here (swat)"! Then the lady comes and she changes and says (still hitting my butt but not as hard) "Oh mija look you got your dress all dirty, Let's go buy you another one" all the while mumbling as we walk away "your gonna see what is going to happen to you when we get home! And I knnot only saw but I FELT it too. I admire George too because through all the dysfunction in his family his was able to raise above it and use it for his benefit, not to mention others pay to SEE him do therapy on himself :) He makes bad memories seem funny, because in reality we need to be better parents than our parents. And realize that our children need to be heard not just seen. But you got to admit he makes it all really funny! Good therapy for me too. Laughter! More power to you George!

i remember when we were young we used to fit as many people in back of a truck with a camper shell just so we could save gas and money i can relate and now we laugh at the good ol days

When George first came to Bakersfield he related a story about how Mexicanos would do things around the house with a Bud Light in their hand. The story George told was exactly what happened to my husband. He was working on the fuse box at the back of the house and was putting back the panel when he accidently hit the live wire. He was knocked off his feet and woke up flat on his back on the ground. When he woke up he looked around and his Bud Light was still in his hand and non one drop spilled.  He then got up and finished the job and drank his beer.  I laughed so hard at the show I  started crying.  Such a mirror in our lives.

 

I "memmer" when I started college and my brother-in-law used to always tell me "you're think you're bad now?" He still does that, but now it's when I get a new car, pair of shoes, whatever! And I can't forget the "Tell her AY!" I come from a family of eight and that right there can tell you how sometimes me or one of my siblings will get mad at another one for some dumb reason like "she showed up late at the family bbq" or "he didn't want to pitch in for beer" or something goofy.... and so I remember hearing one of my sisters complain about a say one of my brothers and me responding by "tell him AY, tell him"

The women in my family are very evil. We will start something with whoever. When a girl, in our family or not, has something wrong with her, like her choneez are showing or something, we don't tell them. that way they learn. and the story "I GOT A PAIN IN MY SHESS AND I CAN'T BREEF" that's my mom. she would say something like, OH SO NOW I'M BEAUTIFUL? Anything to let that man know how much he needs her. And she would leave him there too. "Don't you dare pick up that phone. don't call 911. he is just faking it." LOL

My George Lopez story that our family can relate to is when George is talking about his childhood and he used to take his lunch in a bread bag. When the bread was all gone, we use the bag for our lunch to take to school. My Grandma still gives us food to take home in the recycled bread bag and tortilla bags. Another story is when he is always saying "You member" Our family alswys laughs when we say that. i think that we as Latinos can relate to all of his stories!! He is a FUNNY guy!!!

My story is all about the 'Coo-Cooi' room. It's funny...my dad built our small house, no one ever died in there, yet everyone in my family claims to have seen a ghost in there. I never did. We Latinos have the best imagination. My dad used to always ask me to go get a glass of water in the kitchen when the lights were off after we watched a scary movie. I was all..."NOOOO!!! It's haunted in there!"

I am so looking forward to being able to FINALLY see George Lopez Live! (Hopefully). As a latina I can relate to alot of what he says in his show, but one that made me laugh sooooo hard the first time I heard it was the "will work for beer" one. This is one where he says something about him remembering when his grandma needed to have her roof redone and the guy from the neighborhood goes to do an "estimate" and he says "OK, it's gonna be a twelve-pack and a half." That is sooooo funny because that's how my dad and all his brothers work. Whenever one of them is working on something to improve their home,they all get together and help each other out (without charge of course) but the owner of the house their working on has to have "un doce" en la llelera. That's a must! I really really really really really hope I get to go see the show.

My Nana thought that Vicks aka "Bicks" was the cure to the common cold so much so that she would give us a spoonful after she slathered our chests and upper lip with the ointment. Not until I got to college did I realize that you're not supposed to eat it! But it worked!

I love when George talks about being a little kid and filling up a trash can with water and swimming in it. When I was growing up any amount of water could potentially be a swimming pool. Water would collect on our patio and I would actually go sit in the couple of inches of water and make myself believe it was a pool...that is until the Bakersfield sun made the water unbearably hot!

my joke is kinda mean but i joke around with my wife all the time. you know he always makes fun of his dark tia with blonde hair and red lipstick well instead of it being my tia i tell my wife hes talking about your grandma but i joke with her about it but its true.

My George Lopez story is one of many that i relate to.I think it is sooooo funny to hear him talk about the Latino lifestyle,especially when you can say "me too".Well my story goes with the joke about mexicans never buying a dog they just catch them outside with a bologna. well one day my grandpa was out in the front yard when he seen a dog in the street.He ran in the house to grab a slice of bologna. he caught the dog and my tia came over and wanted the dog so she got and still has it. The only bad thing is the dog doesnt have papers but neither does she. Jk lol

My husband and I moved to our first home. It was X-mas time, and we had to have X-mas lights. Those lights stayed on till' the following X-mas! When I heard George talk about that, I laughed so hard! He is a very funny comedian. Keep up the good work George!!

George Lopez will be coming to the cover of Mas Magazine next week, with an exclusive interview November 22, so be on the look out! He shared a lot of things with Mas, you won't read about anywhere else! Keep the entries coming and tell your friends to sign up on MasBakersfield.com! You memmer?

George Lopez is so funny. I remember the black forks, drinking out of the water holes, and so much more of his jokes that I can relate to when I was a kid. I watch his show every night. He makes a bad day go good.

It's just the way he talks about being Latino that's funny. If you cant laugh at yourselves then you go through life being offended.At church my Pastor calls me the Christian George Lopez!!!

George program is related about how latinos live as us, we love his family program, is terrific, all the real ways the latino family have to learn to live without forgotten our roots, how parents talk with teens and whe some of our teen need to be in special education for his trouble reading, George was stubborn as my husband was, so George is straight of the point and most of all is funny with his spanglish

There is a George Lopez story that comes to mind that my family can most relate to. It is "Just drink a 7-UP and that will cure it". Our family actually believed that 7-UP had some type of healing ingredients that could cure most ailments. This has been passed on for several generations.
