==Comedic characters== Agrelot created the following characters: *''"Don Pulula"'', a mild mannered evangelical pastor with a proclivity for mild [[double entendre]]s (he modeled his voice after that of [[Rafael Quiñones Vidal]], a Puerto Rican television host), *''"Mario Trauma"'', a crazed mental patient who constantly screamed in [[falsetto]] and was in reality saner than the people around him (he modeled his voice after a floor coordinator at WAPA-TV), *''"Pasión"'', an [[old maid]] desperately looking for male company, *''"Serafín Sin Fin y Sin Meta"'', an effeminate man with a heart-shaped [[birthmark]] in his cheek (while claiming that Serafín was not a [[Homosexuality|homosexual]] and never made a pass to anyone during the character's run, Agrelot faced protests from the local chapter of [[GLAAD]] and discontinued the character) *''"Soldado Manteca"'', an inept [[Beetle Bailey]]-like character who was part of the [[United States Army]] (Agrelot described him once as Torito Fuertes, all grown up) *''"Cerebrito Ligón"'', a man who claimed to be a [[Voyeurism|peeping Tom]] but wouldn't dare to peep. A famous episode had a young [[Alida Arizmendi]], later a Puerto Rican legislator, confronting him while he tried to sneak into an all-female [[gym]]; *''"Speedy González"'', an extremely fast gibberish-talking [[handyman]], who would always charge US$10.00 for his services (later increased to US$20.00 because of inflation). This character was a favorite of [[Benicio del Toro]]'s. *''"Don Remigio Rodríguez y Rodriguez"'', an almost catatonic, extremely frank businessman (and the owner of ''Rodríguez y Rodriguez Sociedad en Comandita'') who had a proclivity for face gestures and sticking out his tongue. He had a standing feud with Joaquín, the [[Spain|Spanish]]-born store owner across the street (played by Spanish actor Ricardo Fabregues), to whom he constantly insulted (''"¡Joaquín, pillo!"'') Don Rodríguez later starred in [[Sunshine Logroño]]'s film, ''"Chona, La Puerca Asesina"'' *''El Juez'', a character modeled after [[Pigmeat Markham]] and [[Sammy Davis Jr.]]'s ''"Here Come Da Judge"'' character (more Davis's than Markham's) who had a huge mallet and would use it against a defendant's head if necessary during trials *''Don Segismundo'', the mayor of Trujillo Bajo, a fictional municipality in Puerto Rico (Agrelot said once that Segismundo was actually Don Rodríguez y Rodríguez turned public servant) *''"Pancho [[Matanzas]]"'', a Cuban immigrant that, as many did at the time, would sell anything to support himself and his family. *''"Juan Macana"'', a not-very-bright [[police]] officer, PRPD badge number 13,378<ref>García, Beba, ¡Juan, Juan, Juan! Crónica de la televisión puertorriqueña en tiempos de don Tommy, p. 192</ref> who popularized in Puerto Rico a phrase Agrelot constantly heard in Mexico during one of his tours: ''"Sí, ¿cómo no?"'' ("Yeah, why not?") Agrelot would also parody famous characters from film and cinema in his comedy program, "Ja Ja, Ji Ji, Jo Jo Con Agrelot". His most famous parody was that of [[Marlon Brando]] as [[Vito Corleone]] in [[The Godfather]] movie trilogy. Agrelot appeared as Padre Ambrosio, a priest, in [[Jacobo Morales]]'s ''Dios Los Cria II''. He also played a serious dramatic role in a television miniseries, ''Nadie lo va a saber'', in 1991.
