Where does the “He Can’t Hold His Liquor” meme come from?
Maccio Capatonda is the stage name of Marcello Macchia, an Italian comedian, actor, director and YouTuber born in Vasto in 1978. He built his name on fake film trailers, first in sketches on Mai dire with the Gialappa’s Band and later on the LA7 programme Ma anche no in 2011, where Italiano medio became one of the best known. The format presents an absurd title with the full solemnity of a real release, and here the picture illustrates the wording literally. Fans lifted the clip out of its context and turned it into a reaction.
