tickled my funny "bone"

This episode can bring laffs into a person's home. The part where every one pooped out bones(including rocks) is funny!! Plus I didn't know there was an a orignal El Tigre!! I can't belive tht Frida liked being a skelliton. Wow. Manny comes from a long line of super heros and villans, and they were mayan, knight and, pirate. Plus, the place of the dead was cool, too. plus that feast was awsome(manny, leave me some food). It also seemed that the main villan is mostly Santana of the dead(and, her skellaton crew) is in like, every episode. They pooped out bones.moreless

this episode was better when i finally knew about Manny's ancestors from the Aztecs to Wild Westerns and Modern times. what made this more funnier is the fact that the original El Tigre couldn't decide what to choose and got insane from a babbling fool and living in the crazy house for no reason. this was so funny that my pants blew from here to heaven and space. also the fact that Sartana of the Dead was actually beaten by all the El tigre family. the episode is so good that i hope they amde Frida more funnier instead of just doing nothing.moreless
