Where does the “The London returnee” meme come from?
Pantomima Full is a Spanish comedy duo formed by Alberto Casado and Rober Bodegas, who became hugely popular from 2016 onward thanks to short sketches posted on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram, portraying everyday situations and contemporary archetypes with a direct, sarcastic tone. Their video “Londinense”, uploaded on 1 December 2017 and produced for British gin brand Beefeater as part of a London-themed campaign, features a character obsessed with his recent stay in the English capital, officially described as someone who “gets bored if he's not in London”. The sketch had lasting success in Spain, where the duo went on to further videos, a theatre tour and a TV series.
