Angel Briones "El Patán": Pinche Patán

About This Movie

So, there's this stand-up special from Ángel Briones, known as El Patán, called Pinche Patán. It dropped on YouTube back in 2019. The whole thing is shot in black and white—makes it feel a bit art-house, but that’s just the vibe he’s going for, you know? The reds really pop, which feels intentional, like he's making a statement about how comedy can be pretentious too. The pacing is a bit uneven, kind of like a live show where he's just riffing, sometimes landing a joke, sometimes not. You get this laid-back atmosphere mixed with a self-aware style. The guests he brings on are hit or miss, but it all adds to this quirky charm that you just don’t see in typical specials.

Unique approach to stand-up with a self-aware tone.Black and white cinematography adds an artsy feel.Uneven pacing gives it a live-show vibe.
