Street videos made with @erra_aslani

His videos are filmed outdoors, walking up to strangers for short comic exchanges rather than shooting to camera at home. He works with fellow creator @erra_aslani, who appears on 33.7% of his tagged posts. No other creator comes close: @_roales is next at 8.4%, then @megiassssss at 6.3%. The captions are short and in Spanish, often three or four words, so the video carries the joke rather than the writing.

Crowds that turn up in person

Onda Regional de Murcia reported in June 2025 that hundreds of teenagers filled the Plaza de Santo Domingo in Murcia to follow the pair, who were crossing Spain by electric scooter from Portbou to Tarifa, with a similar crowd in Alicante the day before. Crónicas de Lanzarote had reported much the same in March 2025 outside the Open Mall in Arrecife, where the crowd spilled onto the road and the two asked it to move somewhere safer.

Followers dipped, then added 35,212 in four months

The account lost ground early in 2026, slipping from 412,244 followers in February to 408,627 in April. It then added 35,212 to reach 443,839 by 8 August. Measured average likes rose across the same months, from 24,699 in February to a 40,830 peak in July, and stood at 39,574 in August.

Two of his posts are flagged as sponsored, and three more open their captions with publi, the Spanish disclosure for paid content.

The larger flagged post, from 4 May 2026, was made with Universal Pictures España: it announced that their voices would be heard in the film Minions & Monsters and pointed followers to a public voice casting held in Madrid that week. It took 44,411 likes and 187 comments. The second, from 17 July 2026, was filmed at the Kinder Bueno España ice-cream stand at the Cruïlla festival and reached 433,632 views and 12,099 likes.

Three further captions disclose paid work that carries no sponsored flag. On 31 July 2026 he posted from the Arenal Sound festival with Repsol. On 30 May 2026 he posted for Ron Barceló's Desalia event, with the caption carrying the Spanish responsible-drinking notice and a line telling followers not to share it with minors. On 14 April 2026 he ran a Finetwork spot that reached 3,400,467 views. Four of these five reported placements were tied to an event, stand or festival.

ReasonWhy reported in November 2025 that the Spanish stationery brand MP opened its boli chuletero campaign with a video he co-created. The campaign advertised a fictional AI-powered pen for cheating in exams before turning the joke into an argument about rote learning in Spanish schools.

The two flagged posts average 28,255 likes, against 39,574 average likes across the 151 posts measured on the account. Both fall in 2026, so that comparison is current rather than historic. The gap is not evenly spread: the Universal Pictures España post beat the account average, while the July festival post sat at roughly a third of it, in the same band as his other July posts.

His followers' own brand affinity ranks Nike first, then Walt Disney, Apple, GoPro and Adidas. He has also tagged brand accounts at 2.1% each, among them the Spanish accounts of Coca-Cola, Burger King, Prime Video and Jameson. None of those four appears in his sponsored posts.

His TikTok carries an earlier paid record. Five posts there are flagged as sponsored between June and November 2025: three for Doritos España, one for Salsas Prima tied to LALIGA at 5,100,000 views, and one for Lidl at 45,700 likes. They average 21,784 likes against his TikTok average of 69,600, and none of them is repeated on his Instagram.
