  • This is pure bliss. The world is safe in the hands of El Nombre, even if he probably does have a history of gang violence.

  • 5 people were put in jail by El Nombre.

  • Pelvic thrusts for the win in a primary school programme!

  • The kids in my primary school still watch this :D My school still has class lol :) Even when I watched it it was a few years old

    Kids these days don't know what they're missing. :')

  • I'm rubbish at maths but I wouldn't know ANY is it wern't for El Nombre. All hail this awesome show haha. Miles better than the "educational" crap kids have to watch now 90s FTW xD

  • This is what childhood is all about, where'd el nombre go? :(

  • Thanks to El Nombre I can do maths to this day :D

  • I used to love El Nombre

  • I used to watch El Nombre when i was a little kid. Earlier this summer i received an A in A-level maths. I put my success down to El Nombre WIN

  • @fattymattyweasel congrats ! i keep calling on him for help with my A level maths homework, but he just isn't so keen on helping me out anymore..

  • What show was this on again? I vaguely remember it being set in a castle or something mental like that.

  • childhoodgasm

  • omw i totally forgot about el nombre! i watched him all the time!! ah, there's nothing like this for kids now, its all weird sh*t that doesnt seem to teach anything

  • there has been an argument raging for many many years over the identity of little juan's tarantula. My mum believes that it is "Tonto", and I believe it is "Panto". After a recent flare up of the argument I edited the El Nombre wiki page to settle the argument, but I was compromised by a lack of cache clearing on my behalf. It seems that the spider is called Tanto, leaving us both no further forward.

  • @ecallaw2k8 It is definitely Tanto.

  • @ecallaw2k8 its definitely shut the fack up no one cares you pathetic fag

  • aaaah l loved El Nombre!!

  • no way!! I loved this when I was little :) Yay El Nombre!!!
