José Manuel "Chumel" Torres Morales[1] (born 7 May 1982) is a Mexican comedian and YouTuber.

[3][4] Torres first gained notoriety during the 2012 Mexican general election after he wrote a tweet about a proposal by one of the then-presidential candidates, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, which was retweeted by Gabriel Quadri, another presidential candidate.

[2][4] This led for him to be offered the opportunity to write columns for a blog and a weekly newspaper in Mexico City.

After spending some time in the capital, he realized he would rather reach younger and more tech-savvy audiences through a YouTube series, featuring humor with a prominent theme of political satire, focusing on Latin America, specifically Mexico.

[5] He says that he will never move to mainstream television channels to keep his fan base and to prevent being called a "sell out".
