 This penchant for promiscuity earned Epifanio the moniker ""El Viejo Daña'o"" (from "dañado", which literally translates to "The Damaged Old Man").The epithet "viejo daña'o" has since become a common synonym in Puerto Rico for ""viejo verde"", the Spanish phrase used to depict "dirty ol' men".Given more physical space to act (since the WLUZ-TV's studios were rather small) Alicea then incorporated physical comedy elements to the character, some of which can be directly attributed to Groucho Marx and Charlie Chaplin, were somehow lost in the translation to Spanish of these comedians' work, and were therefore innovative in Puerto Rican comedy.
