History Creator / GabrielIglesias

* HulaAndLuaus[=/=]AlohaHawaii: He recounts being mistaken for Hawaiian constantly (due to his Hawaiian shirt and size). He was perplexed and annoyed by people asking this... until he actually ''went'' to Hawai'i and found out why (they all, quote, "look like swollen Mexicans" and are fluffy like him!)
** He later did a special in Honolulu that poked fun at Hawai'i life.

Has a [[http://fluffyguy.com/ website]], a [[https://www.facebook.com/GabrielIglesias Facebook]], a [[https://twitter.com/fluffyguy Twitter]], and an [[https://instagram.com/fluffyguy/ Instagram]], and is also on [[https://www.youtube.com/user/hotandfluffycomedy YouTube]]. Currently the host of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0xgjD5ECcg Gabriel Iglesias' Stand-Up Revolution]]'' on Creator/ComedyCentral.

* IAmBigBoned: According to him. Fluffy is the "politically correct" term.

* TheComicallySerious: Describes his mother this way. She never laughed at his jokes, but would always bash other people for not laughing. The only time he saw his mother really lose her cool was when she met [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicente_Fern%C3%A1ndez Vicente Fernández]], whom Gabe describes as "Mexican Elvis." Gabe's mom [[NotSoStoic promptly broke into wailing upon meeting him]], and it took three people to pry her away.

* IAmBigBoned[=/=]InsistentTerminology: He's not fat, he's fluffy! Subverted in other jokes, in which he mocks his own weight.

* SpoiledBrat: Fluffy admits to having turned his step son into one. Showering him in gifts against his girlfriend's advice.

Among other roles, he had a recurring appearance on the short-lived Creator/{{ABC}} sitcom ''Series/{{Cristela}}'' and would go on to star in and executive produce ''Series/MrIglesias'' for Creator/{{Netflix}}.

Gabriel Jesus Iglesias (born July 15, 1976) is a stand-up comic known for his funny impersonations, crazy sound effects and obnoxious Hawaiian shirts. He started his career on ''Series/AllThat'' (during the time when the show's popularity was fading, as the original cast had left and the new cast was met with criticism with not being as funny as the old cast), and ended up getting specials on Creator/ComedyCentral. He's also known for his good-natured SelfDeprecation and bright attitude about being what he calls "[[BigFun fluffy]]".

Among other roles, he had a recurring appearance on the short-lived Creator/{{ABC}} sitcom ''Series/{{Cristela}}''.

* TruthInTelevision: In ''Hot and Fluffy'', he recites being told about a Floridian theme park revolving around gators, [[CaptainObvious called Gatorland]], in which pressing the option for Spanish when calling the theme park results in a "I don't speak Spanish, but you're gonna love this park." The park actually did have the Spanish option that actually said this, but it was eventually removed.

* AlwaysABiggerFish: Gabriel sells T-shirts after his shows emblazoned with "I'm Not Fat, I'm Fluffy", sized up to XXXXXXL. After one show he found himself confronted by someone he described as "aw hell no!", who was upset that ''he couldn't find a T-shirt big enough to fit him''. Gabriel's shocked response? "I didn't know they made you!"

* HappilyMarried: His girlfriend mentioned in his second DVD special is now his wife. The fact that, by his 2013 special he only had seven stories about her, indicates how jolly the marriage is in general.
* HellIsThatNoise: The sound of a really obese man approaching a clinic Fluffy is waiting in.
* HotGuysAreBastards:
-->'''Gabriel:''' Ladies, if that's what you want out of a man, is the sexy guy, go for it. But I'm gonna warn you, in the long run, the pretty guy? He's gonna lie to you, cheat on you, and break your heart. That's why you need to start giving fluffy guys a chance. Seriously, 'cause the worst thing ''we're'' gonna do is have dinner without you.

-> "''Like [[Music/JulioIglesias Julio]], but bigger. Way... bigger.''"

* AlwaysABiggerFish: Gabriel sells T-shirts after his shows emblazoned with "I'm Not Fat, I'm Fluffy", sized up to XXXXXXL. After one show he found himself confronted by a Level 6 (see below), who was upset that ''he couldn't find a T-shirt big enough to fit him''. Gabriel's shocked response? "I didn't know they made you!"

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: In "Aloha Fluffy", he mentions Singapore's strict laws and specifically [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_P._Fay Michael Fay's]] caning for vandalism, but isn't accurate. He claims canings are random and done at the scene of the crime (they're not, they are a proper sentence and always conducted in prison), are given in place of jail time (they are always handed with jail sentences, never alone) and that there is no set number, just when the caner "feels" it has been enough (the court decides a specific number of strokes based on the circumstances; Fay himself was sentenced to six strokes on top of four months in prison and a fine). He also says Fay was just spray-painting buildings when Fay actually stole road signs and vandalised cars.

* [[AudienceParticipationSong Audience Participation Joke]]: With a latter portion of presumably each show on the ''Fluffymania'' tour dedicated to retelling old stories as requested by the audience, Gabriel's popularity - both at live shows and on the internet - make this a near-certainty, with the crowd joining in on the punchlines/one-liners en-masse. Easy example: the ''"Martiiiiiin!/Órale!"'' in the ''New Beetle'' story.
-->'''Gabriel'''[[note]]At a ''Fluffymania'' show in the UK, after the crowd had done precisely this[[/note]]: ...you don't even ''need'' me!
* TheBear: When Gabriel found out that he has a huge following in the bear community, [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity Ensued]]. [[http://youtu.be/ti0ABE0cxbM See it here!]]

* BigFun: See his list of the levels of fatness at FatBastard below.

* BrickJoke: "But it was funny, huh?" [[spoiler:To wit: Cop pulls over Gabe, his friends, and Felipe, whose purpose in life is to get Gabe in humungous trouble and he does so by antagonizing the cop. Gabe tells a joke, leading to the first "But it was funny, huh". After the situation's defused and he gets away scot-free for making the cop laugh, the friend jokes about pot in his pocket. The cop PULLS OUT HIS PIECE AND POINTS IT AT HIS FRIEND, screaming that just because Gabe got off lightly doesn't mean the friend will, too... and the friend promptly cries, asking if he's going to jail. "Nope! But it was funny, huh?"]]
** In the LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn example below, the cop in question mentions that the only story he ever heard that was funnier than this one was the time some fat Mexican offered one of his colleagues some donuts (see DonutMessWithACop, below).

* FatAndProud

--->'''Big Guy:''' How come you don't have shirts that fit me?\\
'''Gabriel:''' Cuz I didn't know you existed!

* HappilyMarried: His girlfriend first mentioned in his second DVD special is now his wife. The fact that by his 2013 special he only had 7 stories about her indicates how jolly the marriage is in general.

* GallowsHumor: A variation, he says that you can get out of trouble with a cop if you can make them laugh. So he once had "[[Series/{{COPS}} Bad Boys]]" blaring over his speakers when a cop pulled him over for speeding. The cop couldn't stop laughing so he sent him on his way. [[spoiler:Until Felipe decided to bring up the weed in his pocket.]]

* MistakenForPedophile: When his brother complained about children ringing his doorbell, Gabriel distributed (fake) flyers informing neighbours his brother was a registered sex offender.

* ViolationOfCommonSense: During the traffic stop story, Gabriel and his buddies manage to get off scot-free after doing over ''100'' on the freeway by making the cop laugh... which should have gotten them tossed in jail. He even says, "I don't know what possessed me to look at [the California highway patrolman] and ask, 'Why?'"

'''Cop:''' Oh, son of a bitch! ''(Dies laughing)''

** Happens again when he introduces his then-girlfriend (now wife) to his mother for the first time. His mom complained (in Spanish) that he brought home a white girl... only to be shocked when she spoke the same language.[[note]]She is Mexican, but light-skinned.[[/note]]

-->For those who don't know, I ''used'' to say that there were five levels of fatness--the original five are 'big', 'healthy', 'husky', 'fluffy', and 'DAYUM!'". The reason I said "I ''used'' to say there were five", is because now there are ''six''. [[UpToEleven People asked, what could be bigger than 'Daaayum!'?]] The new level is called 'OH, ''HELL'' NO!']]

-->'''Gabriel[[note]]At a ''Fluffymania'' show in the UK, after the crowd had done precisely this[[/note]]:''' ...you don't even ''need'' me!

* VerbalTic: He sometimes throws a "you guys" into one of his sentences.
