About Jenny Lorenzo:
Ya Yenny llego! Welcome to the official channel of Jenny Lorenzo. I'm a tiny Cuban-American geek from Miami who is also your abuela. I now reside in Los Angeles where I helped kickstart Latin content at BuzzFeed with 'Pero Like' and continued on to produce for We Are Mitú. I have now ventured on my solo journey as a comedic actor and
content creator, doing comedy sketches around being Latinx including my characters Abuela, Maruchi, Laritza, Flor and Michi. You can also find me doing vlogs, collabs, unboxings, and SO much more!

Oh ho ho! Now we know where Jasleiny gets her rebelious spirit...the manzana really doesn't fall far from the tree.

[@ANIMOM1976]

Word!

[@ThisIsNotAhnJieRen]

I knew it!

[@eduardvolution]

Loved the revelation!!!

[@MH-ms1dg]

yea, but Jasleiny is arguably healthier than the tree she came from

[@littlemisstfc]

Seeing Maruchi, Gloria, and Flor in their younger years is the biggest whiplash of the century.

[@kevinramsey417]

And they haven't aged a day since the 80s. They must all use Pond's.

[@TheKidOfTheGoats]

Well dude she like did great with this whole video. She is very strong amd well relatable to dialogue just like Larry David. And also she knows what she wants. This video is a work of art. If you think about it

[@crayon4486]

Poor Abuela, even after a few decades she's still dealing with the same drama.

[@kevinramsey417]

Woman's a saint, really. Of course the matriarch of this family would have to be the strongest to put up with everybody else's caca.

[@luiscabrera3799]

I'd love to see flashbacks of when Benito and Flor first met.

[@mypanexogamouslineage965]

Their 1st date was at a diner.

[@Alusnovalotus]

Yyyyyyyyyyeeessssssssssssssss!!!!!

[@saltysailormike]

OMG I’d love to see 80’s or 90’s Abuela and Mirta try and outdo each other! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@mypanexogamouslineage965]

YESS!!!

[@onlymekimberly]

Yes please yes!!

[@EA-mc6xb]

OMG YES

[@zephryus]

Agreed. Jenny, if you can see this, please do another episode of their past!

[@AnneEstipona]

Yes, I love that too! ❤

[@Jakegothicsnake]

We need to have an episode where Jasleiney finds Gloria’s old Madonna get up with the boots, fishnets, and lacey tutus and think “Hmmmm......I could wear this.....🤔”. She’d also find the peluca rubia fea and use that as blackmail as well. 😈

[@ANIMOM1976]

Ooh excellent idea!

[@LegionIvory]

Seems more like Cyndi Lauper than Madonna.

[@WhiteRaven696]

@@LegionIvory The fishnets, fingerless gloves and frizzy hair were very madonna. The only thing screaming Cyndi was the tutu.

[@LegionIvory]

@@WhiteRaven696 Cyndi wore all the same things, though. I guess I just associate it more with her than Madonna.

[@mypanexogamouslineage965]

She looked super Cyndi Lauper, not Madonna to me.

[@JonathanMichael]

I guess Abuela will now confirm that: (Edit) Flor: the responsible but exagerada eldest daughter who married last Gloria: the envidiosa middle child who is also a conservative, but was a rebellious goth when she was younger Maruchi: the last child who had plenty of boyfriends in the past, got married and divorced twice

[@Jakegothicsnake]

Maruchi’s the youngest, not Gloria.

[@jrjr648]

Maruchi es mas joven que Gloria

[@Jakegothicsnake]

Not gonna lie, I used to think that maybe Flor was the youngest since she had the youngest prima. 😳😅🤷🏻‍♂️

[@JonathanMichael]

@@Jakegothicsnake nah, she's the responsible but also the exagerada daughter, maybe that's why she got married last

[@mypanexogamouslineage965]

Flor also married the oldest man out of her sisters and luckily is still married unlike the other two.

[@elena_the_strong3821]

I like how all the daughters inherited their fashion sense from their moms haha Maruchi always makes fun of Laritsa but I see her with the colorful clothes as a kid 😂

[@7_nazzy]

Exactly!

[@Jakegothicsnake]

They also inherited aspects from their Tias as well! Laritza got her dramatic personality from Flor, and Michi dresses quirky like Maruchi!

[@mypanexogamouslineage965]

And yet Maruchi is still my favorite character, she is so fabulous, creative, stylish, outgoing, artistic, fun, funny, witty, and full of life and energy.

[@M1ckeyblue1]

And apparently the only one who tells it as it is.... 😎

[@jpierce8148]

And she is the only one to make the kids stop jodiendo!! More mothers need to be like Maruchi!

[@mypanexogamouslineage965]

[@M1ckeyblue1]

@@mypanexogamouslineage965 Jesleiny is my favorite one because of that 😎

[@Thomassteven00]

So we learned today that Flor is the oldest and Maruchi is the youngest and Gloria was rebellious as a teen like Jaslainey is. Also I love the new intro and the new house/set looks really nice.

[@helixkh4836]

Thanks to this now I know that Flor is the oldest, the middle is Gloria and Maruchi is the youngest. Young Maruchi reminded me of michi 😄

[@JulianYvesVA]

Man, Abuela had it rough with her daughters ...and still is 😂😂😂

[@thomasresendez6491]

Milagro she didn't start getting greys in the 80s

[@ThisIsNotAhnJieRen]

Now she has to deal with two generations of caca! 🤣🤣🤣

[@thomasresendez6491]

@@ThisIsNotAhnJieRen yup she should thank God it's not three generations or four santo dios could you imagine

[@aselalizama]

This novela should be called "Los Tormentos De La Abuela: la saga continúa". "Abuela's Torments": the saga continues". 😂🤣

[@lisettegarcia]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the insane level of skill it took to portray abuela as a young mom and keep the character totally consistent? Brava! 👏👏👏

[@KoalaDeVil]

The talent you have of pulling off all those characters is always such a trip! From the facial features, to the mannerisms, such fantastic amazing quality work!

[@ImmortalSynn]

It's so easy to forget that they're not all different actresses, because she individualizes them so perfectly. What incredible talent!

[@L4dyShadow320]

I swear, Jenny does such an amazing job that I legit forget for a moment that they're all her lmao 😆

[@luaraujo3416]

I seriously thought for a second if it was safe for them to be gathered together already. I'm reaally sleepy now.

[@constancemiller3753]

The whole family argues with different accents, ages and temperaments and Jenny nails them all.

[@lannnacailli]

80's Gloria was pretty ultra!

[@supercasacielo]

I love how Gloria & Jaslainey are revealed. I want to see more of Jaslainey, but it is also so in her character to show up for a second to just emote with her eyes and disappear.

[@matchstikdvorak1538]

The BEST tela novela

[@CostumedFiend_Audio]

Haha! I was right about their birth order. Flor has major older sibling energy, while it makes sense that the "rebellious middle child" is someone like Gloria in this family, and well Maruchi being the youngest speaks for itself 😆

[@manuelperu-espino2320]

I'm so glad the first episode of season 2 of this telenovela came out, I find it hilarious how hypocritical Gloria is because she wasn't snobbish or self-centered when she was younger, she was rebellious and dressed a little bit like her daughter Jasleiney would dress, like mother like daughter.

[@Jakegothicsnake]

Although instead of being outright goth, she was more Madonna-esque with a Valley girl accent. XD

[@janusquiamco7128]

One of my favorite episodes. I love to see the sisters together, even though i‘m sure it‘s a mighty effort to film.

[@josegarciarodriguez9580]

Even after all those years, la jodienda sigue

[@ANIMOM1976]

iSí! A seguir jodiendo! 🤣👍

[@thomasresendez6491]

Eso si

[@mercurygirl8404]

Sii!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@_san_flower_]

The references of Xuxa and Gloria Trevi just made my day 😂

[@luaraujo3416]

I was not ready for that 😂

[@Oyuki-Mayonesa]

OMG I had Xuxa shoes when I was a little girl 😊 I didn’t even realize they had a Xuxa reference in there. I have to rewatch it now. Edit: OMG the Xuxa song! 😃 no wonder my brain felt weird like it was trying to activate, but I just couldn’t place it until I read your comment!! 😲🎶🎵… …wait a second, wouldn’t that make Maruchi a Millennial then 🧐🤨

[@Jupitersea667]

I come back to watch this episode all the time wondering why Hulu or Netflix or Amazon haven’t reached out to her to make a real series. She is probably one of the most talented actresses out there!!!! never stop doing the damn thing Jenny!!

[@buddhabro.9130]

Gloria's 80's Madonna look , Mary, mother el Nino Jesus ! I love it ! 😂💓

[@buttahp]

Flor looks cute in longer hair. Now i wish you let her grow it out pa la cuarentena. 😆

[@TheKidOfTheGoats]

Omg. Omg. It is Spanish 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'-dude! Ma'am, this is so relatable- the other side of my family are Puerto Rican. This woman is going to go far!!! There should be a KZbin Grammy Awards for this art! And PLEASE CAN WE ALL APPRECIATE THE EDITING SKILLS AND THE PERFECT TIMING OF AUDIO!!! Go girl!

[@ZamirFromBoca]

How does Jenny not have a million Subs?!! I love her videos

[@mypanexogamouslineage965]

At least she gets views from Brazil, India, Indonesia, Arab Countries, and the UK.

[@ImmortalSynn]

That's OUR FAULT.... we need to share these, and tell everyone about her!

[@joannm5981]

This was AMAZING!! And to see where Jaslainey gets it from 🤣

[@Jakegothicsnake]

“OH YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS, GLORITA!!!!!” 🤣

[@sagep.s.iloveyou5956]

Omg. NAILED the ‘80’s fashions. Wow. And the bad home VHS - spot on.

[@angieg4127]

3:02 Flor toda desesperada with the screaming lmao. Great episode! I can see your guy’s hard work and dedication.

[@tejaswoman]

Love, love, love, the Glorita reveal - the hair makes so much sense now that she explained her rationale! (Plus the Jasleiny connection, but everybody beat me to that one. ... How is it that I've been unable to find this video until now despite looking every day?)

[@audreyg6114]

Hilarious!! And Maruchi singing Xuxa's song was perfect!! Plus the Glorita/Gloria Trevi comparison the best 😂😂

Casa de la Abuela is my new summer jam!

[@devils6653]

Ahhh it's always so much fun to jump into the character's past !

[@Jakegothicsnake]

Gloria: *saunters in goody-goody-two-shoes like fashion with blonde ponytail* Abuela: NO. *uses 80’s Rewind Magic to turn Gloria’s fake blonde hair back into her natural raven locks*

Love the Casa de Abuela theme! Feliz dia de las madres

[@289lilboy]

This was ICONIC! By far my favorite skit ! I LAUGHED SO HARD I CRYED! It was nice seeing them together in a longer video. MARUCHI IS MY FAV SISTER!!! I love when Gloria said “ I DONT WANT WANNA LOOK RELATED TO YOU ! YOU GUYS ARE ALL JUST JEALOUS! Lol !! THANK YOU JENNY!!!

[@ruthv1762]

Jenny is such an amazing actress that I always forget she is every woman in the family

[@LegionIvory]

Wow, Gloria! Like mother like daughter indeed!

[@matthewash5879]

I love that Maruchi was into hairstyling even as a little girl. You could see how fashion forward she was even at that young age.

[@mypanexogamouslineage965]

Teenage Gloria looked way more fashion-forward.

[@Jakegothicsnake]

We FINALLY see Gloria’s natural hair color! I noticed that Maruchi’s hair is almost as dark as Flor’s and Gloria’s. Did her hair get lighter naturally as she got older or does she color it as well?

[@JonathanMichael]

Gloria keeps telling herself and her friends that she’s a natural blonde, but in reality she’s just using a cajita of “El Superior Preference by L’oreal”.

[@mypanexogamouslineage965]

Being the peluquera that she is, Maruchi obviously dyed her, probably herself, it's smarter and more economic as well.

[@mypanexogamouslineage965]

@@JonathanMichael Gloria just like Mirtha, both dye their grays.

[@KevinBosch]

We actually picked a brown wig for young Maruchi to match her older self, but I think the VHS video effect made it look darker. Older Maruchi also has highlights, which is why it looks lighter.

[@Jakegothicsnake]

@@KevinBosch Makes sense. She highlights her hair, but unlike Gloria, she stays in the brunette range. 😁

[@pqlasmdhryeiw8]

What an exquisite video. The drama, the costumes, the wigs, the voices, the editing. What a treat, que regalito para nosotros, GUAO!

[@Jakegothicsnake]

Can we all take a minute to appreciate how when Jasleiney enters the room, Flor just greets her pleasantly instead of freaking out and saying something along the lines of: “AY DIOS MIO!! MI SOBRINA, LA BRUJA SATÁNICA!!!!!”?

[@buttahp]

Jasleiny is always respectful, albeit weird and vegan. However, it's Laritza who is rude and begging for her to finish cooking soooo. 😆

[@Jakegothicsnake]

@@buttahp Um.....Ok......But I wasn’t referring to that. I’m referring to how Flor responded to seeing by politely greeting her, which is quite unexpected, because normally she’s easily panicked, and her reaction was calm compared to how Abuela and Maruchi reacted to seeing her for the first time.

[@emilymitchell5285]

🤣🤣🤣 we see you, 80s gloria!!! my mom is one of four sisters and i'd imagine it was a lot like this
