!! Tropes associated to his work:
* TheComicallySerious: A key part of Eugenio's shtick was the contrast between the completely serious expression and tone he used to tell his jokes and how absurd the jokes themselves were. In his own words, "I only laugh when I get paid".

Eugeni Jofra i Bafalluy (1941-2001), known mononymously as Eugenio, was a Spanish comedian born in Barcelona.
He became famous for telling (or [[InsistentTerminology narrating]], as he preferred to say) silly and/or absurd jokes with a signature style: [[TheComicallySerious perpetually deadpan expression]] with a dry, matter-of-fact delivery to match, always wearing black clothing, SunglassesAtNight, sitting on a stool, a cigarette between his fingers, and a thick Catalan accent, punctuated with the use of Catalan words gratuitously, including [[MadLibsCatchphrase his classic opening line]] "Saben aquell que diu...?" ("You know the one that says...?").
He was at the peak of his popularity in UsefulNotes/TheEighties, when recordings of his performances were sold in cassettes, but stepped off the stage in the early '90s before reemerging in the UsefulNotes/TurnOfTheMillennium with the live show ''Érase otra vez... Eugenio'', shortly before passing away in 2001.
A biographical movie focusing on Eugenio's early comedy career, ''Saben aquell'', premiered in November 2023, with David Verdaguer portraying Eugenio.

* ''Eugenio y los caballitos''
