Undercover agent by day, Monopoly man by night
COMMENT OF THE YEAR
Gerard Moreno oh look you must be the monopoly guy - Ace Venture 2
His mustache is amazing
Ace Ventura Nature Calls-"Do not pass go do not collect $200". Also, he kind of looks like Colonel Mustard.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He just spoiled the next seasons of Narcos
Stamatios Bardanis 😂 100% we going to see a voice over and his name being mentioned
Is there a next season?
They get him in the end

Purple robe = archer
That mustache alone could have taken him down.
Captain Deadpool Can't grow your own? Not growing? Give it a few years, until you reach 18.
@@adaptorperish1322 I'm in my late 20's my dude
Small beginnings He was just joking calm down
Only barbeque ribs can defeat that mustache.
@@adaptorperish1322 wow u just got told
Right now he's working a case on Dr. Seuss. He's under cover as the lorax.
You're gya
*DROP THAT BOTTOM LINE*
Somebody lifted the lorax away
Bravo
When McGowan introduced himself to El Chapo: "Bawnjorno."

@@hayleys4627 Bravo!
He was putting the blinds on the Dusties.
😂😂😂😂
One more time, let me really hear the music in it.
8:41 let's just take a minute to appreciates that he calls high fives "slapping hands" like some kind of foreign alien.
Foreign alien? Tell me about those domestic aliens :)
@@Todsor You haven’t heard of mark zuckerberg have you?
@@tychodancer He is a foreigner.
"Bismarck vs El Chapo" - coming to theaters this summer
Chancellor Bismarck would crush him
@@Masada1911 he is the chancellor
@@Masada1911 noy
He easily avoided giving any sensitive information. And didn't actually tell you how they got El chapo, but he made you think he did. The last thing he said was "and then there were different things that happened that led to the capture of EL Chapo" Bravo, very well trained :).
He didn't tell you how they got el Chapo because it was the Mexican military who did, in turn Mexican authorities extradited him to the US and used information like the one gathered in this video to charge him in the US.
@@malvarmarakontobro exactly
Read hunting El Chapo it was DEA and Mexican marines
That's because he's a smart man when you let people know how they got ya then you have to train all over again
So my respect to this man ✌👍
@@malvarmarakontobro I assume they left it up to the Mexican military to capture el chapo since they’d probably get pretty angry if Americans came in and did it. America probs provided the info.
i can only imagine this man speaking Italian the same way brad pitt does in Inglorious Bastards “Gore-LAH-mi”
Lmaoo
Lol
"A-River-Der-Chief"
Aribaderchi
That was funny 😂😂
People say you have to be a genius to become an FBI agent when in reality all you have to do is be flamboyant and put on a purple robe every once in a while
I put on my robe and wizard hat
Please, every 3 letter agency is filled with idiots
cnsln_memphis that's why they only have three letter names- it's all they can remember

Butter Brickle being fbi is a pretty big deal though.
Florida Man: "I speak the most Sicilian, so I'll be our transport. Patricio speaks second most, so he will be our Sicilian right hand man. Mike third most, so he'll be head of the organization."
Mike: "I don't speak Sicilian."
Florida Man: "Like I said, third most."
Bunjorno he says in a thick Southern accent
Oh god what happened to your leg!
I love this reference
Start writing something original, for fuck's sake. It's not that difficult.
@@johanliebert4622 well your comment was the least original thing I've seen in weeks lmfao
" south Florida all the criminals looked the same "
All wear suits
Joku Sekou flarrrida lol
thats how u dress for a meeting?
El Chapo's Sons: "Write that down, write that down!!"
Plot Twist: EL Chapo was hiding in his mustache
Vincini Car and took out three agents when they came for him.
That sounds like a jojo stand
Hahahaha 😅🤣😁
so this guy captured the biggest narco in the world by straight up just vibing? what a legend
"Detective Walrus." Starring Ron Swanson dropping post Coronavirus.
lol
So all they had to do was ask him to speak Sicilian and he would’ve been caught
But he never speak with them directly
If only they had Duolingo at the time 😔
They were dealing with Mexicans. How would they know?
Okay bud yeah sure. Just ask the head of an international crime organization to speak Sicilian to 'prove he is real.' That's not insanely disrespectful or anything. Definitely couldn't go horribly wrong.
@@danielholtzman2582 how to start a thir world war, 101 😂😂😂
Showing up to a meeting in a purple robe is a real alpha move
Imagine Dr. Phil playing this dude in the movie
He’s not even a dr lol
Alright Italian drug lord do some metric system math for me
Boom, cover blown
You know he’s a real fed that shirt couldn’t have cost more than $30
Americans: Wine and soccer, instant italian hahahahahahah
Danyel Henrique I don’t think anyone associates either of those things to Italians...
yayrandomnness11 yeah, half the world plays soccer and a lot of people around the world drink wine...
Danyel Henrique: Assuming Americans think wine and soccer is instant Italian hahahahaha
Corona virus and wine
Maybe not soccer but football ⚽️ for sure
“I sometimes struggle with English” lmfaooo me too man 😂
22 Jump Street (Undercover) : "My Name is Jeeeeffff.."
I feel that Nick Offerman would nail the role of Mike McGowan.
They had several meetings, in the US and in Mexico. The guy they met as described by Mr. Largemoustache was Jesus Manuel Gutierrez Guzman, cousin of El Chapo.
He do be a badass doe
gguchristine he really do be
English dickhead! 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Why is the FBI taking down el chapo.. not gonna he do be looking like a badass doe
The mustache hides a vast array of weapons and gear.
He's got an M-60 in there.
And a large amount of food particles
This guy looks like he’ll gladly pay me Tuesday for a hamburger today.
3:32 apparently, his friend Tom Selleck is an expert in transportation
This is a true cowboy western. A "sheriff" with a giant uneven mustache taking down Mexican banditos
@Channel I wonder how life was in the USA in 1800.
Funny thing is he only took down the lower tier bandidos chapo isn’t that high up
What's a "bandito"?
@@josechavarria6140 you should know, with a name like that
@@josechavarria6140 it's just another word for criminals
Is his name Mike McGowan though?
Or is that simply today’s alias. No one will ever know.
I was more captivated by his Lorax-esque mustache 〰️
I'll see you on a future season of Narcos Detective Walrus
Looks like he’s had one of those secret spy face changes
"chose to retire" sounds so ominous when he says it
Plot twist; this interview was filming the back of his head.
Lol what. That doesnt make sense
@@infernal.. Wires connected to his real face that when he speaks or acts, it moves the mask's features.
How old is this precious Walrus
He’s 34.
I'm sure he's got some more great stories that he could tell..
Have to say though that the war on drugs has been nothing short of a failure.
This guy is so good, he could do all of this with his eyes closed.
Man, this video was no less than a classic Scorsese film. Ufff what a life!
If the hair on the back of his head " STOOD UP" does it mean that the same thing also happened to his MOUSTACHE 🤔
Still crazy to me that they act like drug dealers to arrest the actual ones. Whoever came up with that idea is genius yet insane lol
An undercover agent by day, a Prussian general by night, what stories he must have...
His large mustache really goes with the whole “undercover cop” vibe
This man is 100% wearing a prosthetic to hide his identity. If you pay close attention to the shell of his ear, you can see where the prosthetic is blended into his natural skin tone. The prosthetic is a little yellower in tone and the inner part of his ear is definitely more red. Also the flesh of his face just barely moves. It’s an incredibly impressive disguise.
I wanna know how he was planning to make this continent connecting pipeline
It wasn't a physical pipeline more so a secure connection with real port, real contracts, real loads of goods and sometimes a lil bit of coke. But i wont be surprised if they actually create an actual physical pipeline across to Europe. They have top of the line engineers, as well with experts and massive amount of people willing to do labor under their power.
He’s using that phrase as a figure of speech. Not literally but I can see how it can be misunderstood in the way that he says it
Haha that one Sicilian speaker hardcore bailed before this operation
That's the mustache I wanna grow. The search is over
Why does nobody acknowledge that this man looks so much like Hercules Poirot? (at least as how he was described in the books)
Poirot was a small-sized man with a balding head and small moustache.
I hate to break it to you and the mustache but you guys got his double 😂
9:55 - Now that's good hospitality
Nice to know the pringles man is doing well
The mustache makes me expect a Wilford Brimley voice
Patricio would come and whisper in my ear ‘it’s free real estate’
That video flew by. Nicely done :)
Now this makes me think like an agent and a drug lord.
Something tells me this guy didn't have a hard time keeping a straight face while undercover.
I couldn't believe how easy it was to set up a meeting 😂😂
Such a great story thanks
The bathrobe...maybe Peter Griffin was right about that clown uniform after all 😂
I'm only a few minutes in, but it is really, really bugging me that that coffee is just sitting there.
I want to see his Mike McGowan's story as a movie
He’s a good storyteller
He put his life in jeopardy
You always gotta think like one to find one
I can't stop watching how his mustache moves as he speaks
"Your Sicilian, hunh?" *chuckles* -Dennis Hopper
That's the kind of story where you actually learn more in 11 mins that 1 year of school.
Make this into a movie, PLEASE!!!
I love these
it looks like an old eggman wore a young eggman suit, who wore an old eggman suit
That mustache has led a more exciting life than me!
There are just some people you instantly respect. This guy is one of them
Boy, howdy, negotiatin' a drug deal sure is time consuming lol This guy is all chill.
I can't be the only one that chuckled when he said he was picked for the Sicilian only for him to say "& yes, obviously I dont speak the language, i struggle with english" 😂😂
For a Second i was thinking He would say the CIA....ahhh no El Chapo ..
I could see him play a mob boss convincingly
Crazy story. When I'm scrolling through RUclips and not really sure what I'm looking for, ...this is what I'm looking for
This is an easy opportunity for an award winning movie
I’ve worked with thousands of files 🗂... ain’t nothing in those background boxes📦
This dude is so deep that even his upper lip is undercover.
At least we know who the next protagonist of Narcos: Mexico will be.
His book ghost is incredible
It's be a movie by next year starting Bryan Cranston.
That 70’s mustache alone
Imagine driving El Chapo around. Lmfao!
What an incredible story
The power of velour
If they make a movie of his life they've got to get Wilford Brimley to play him.
Does he also have Diabeetus ?
It's possible that his mustache functioned as some sort of melee weapon.
Fits perfectly with just about everything Anabel Hernandez says about how big the drug problem is.
His MUSTACHE has GROWN out of CONTROL...
I would watch a movie or netflix doc on his life.... the title "purple velour bathrob"
This guy is the Lorax
Nice!
I feel like there is a part two?
10:35 The subtitles are wrong: it's not Al Jazeera, it's Algeciras
Ángel Gómez It Looks Fine!!!!!
That moustache makes Wilford Brimley(RIP) look like a 6 year old 🤣
What a hustle
