The main character of a Mexican sitcom produced in the 70s and 80s, by the media conglomerate Televisa. It has been the most widely watched show in the Spanish language for decades.
Chavo is a homeless orphan child who lives from the "charity" of the inhabitants of the neighborhood where he hangs out. The other characters seem to amuse themselves by mocking him, hitting him, offering him food but then denying it, and generally torturing him.
Critics argue that its director, Roberto Gomez Bolaños, aka Chespirito, has earned fame and fortune by taking advantage of the worst kinds of attrocities, such as child abuse, violence, homelesness, hunger, etc, and has presented them in a "funny" way.
The show offers repetitive gags, which are followed by laughter cues, perhaps as an acknowledgement that the audience would otherwise not understand the purportedly funny situations.

Get the Chavomug. As opposed to what one guy posted, chavo is normally used to refer to money itself not a person. It is interchangable with pretty much any slang term for money.
