Los Pichy Boys, the two Cuban jokesters, got their start in 2007 with just a few videos on YouTube. One of their most-viewed early hits, featuring a concept that would later gain them mass following, was a spoof on the Hollywood blockbuster 300. Los Pichy Boys spun the film, based on the ancient Spartan warrior legend, by voice dubbing. The clips became instant classics with relatable Latin cultural dialogue set to the visuals of Sparta vs. Persia. Their company, El Pichy Films Inc., was born soon after. What was once a joke became Alejandro and Maikel’s business. Today, the comical duo has a massive following all over the world including over 100 million views on YouTube, more than 100,000 followers on Instagram and nearly 800,000 engaged fans on Facebook.
