Internet meme

As a result of the series that Virginia Lago hosted on Telefe, around March 2012, her image became the subject of an Internet meme in which her way of speaking and acting is parodied. [5] Videos in which she is imitated have circulated on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. [6] In the parodies, emphasis is placed on Lago's unhurried tone, the diminutives and temperance in her speech, and her recurring catchphrase ¡maravilloso! (wonderful) to describe a situation. Lago acknowledged that she initially cried about these jokes, but then took them with humor. [7]
