I'm pretty sure the joke doesn't work anyway in Spanish. I don't think they say "boo" when "booing" somebody. I could be wrong, but I think its origins are English. It'd kind of be like a joke where a guy sees his friend Linda and shouts out her name, "Hey Linda!" and gets a slap on the face from the girl passing him by. That joke would make no sense if you didn't know that Linda is a person's name and a euphemism for "sexy" at the same time. I'm surprised they kept the joke in there in the first place.

Prickly Pete - 2015-01-06 Yeah I was wondering about that, because I never thought of "boo" as a word really. I assumed it transcended language barriers, so I was curious if this even made any sense. If not, what's the Spanish equivalent of boo?

infinite zest - 2015-01-06 Cool. I was thinking it was kind of like the sound a Rooster makes (in America it's cockadoodledo and in Spanish it's kikirik�, two entirely different human language interpretations on a non-human sound), but listening again I did hear a bit of a "B" when they start yelling. I guess like most words its origins are Latin (http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=boo) and was mostly popular in England, so I guess I was half-right, but was also used to Italy and most likely Spain around the same time. :)
