Well, friends of Folha. Galvão Bueno turns 73 this Friday, July 21, now out of open TV, where he worked for almost five decades — he spent 48 years on the small screen, 41 of them on Globo, where he will continue to make special appearances at major events.
Character of himself, the controversial announcer was never unanimous and embodied the figure of a showman, with catchphrases that entered popular culture. Exciting moments narrated with his voice, the memory of the main Brazilian events, were many. As well as the gaffes.
In the world of memes, Galvão has become a myth. His exaggerated facial expressions and emotional comments yielded a plethora of jokes and pranks on social media. Let him say “It’s tetraaaa!” at the 1994 World Cup. And the argument with Pelé, who couldn’t stop talking during the broadcast?
Galvão has already confused players’ names, asked wheelchair users to get up, fought with teammates… But it was making funny comments in the heat of the moment that he drew laughter and created embarrassing moments for him and for the viewers.
Among these, the day in which he did not narrate a goal by Oscar, from the Brazilian team, when he was distracted by a message, and another in which he shouted a goal that never happened: “I beg your pardon”, he said at the time. To celebrate the narrator’s birthday, we selected some unforgettable moments of Galvão Bueno in his habitat: Brazilian television.
