About
Eduardo Sterblitch Laugh refers to a video of Brazilian actor and comedian Eduardo Sterblitch struggling not to laugh and then breaking from a 2016 episode of the talk show Programa do Jô. The video became the subject of memes, particularly image macros and as a reaction GIF as early as 2017 in Brazil, seeing a revival on Reddit in mid-2021 with English-speaking web users.
Origin
On November 1st, 2016, the Brazilian late-night talk show Programa do Jô had comedian Eduardo Sterblitch on for an interview. At the 9:29 mark in the interview (shown below) the host talks up Sterblitch's camera presence and begins a slow zoom-in to jokingly demonstrate it. Sterblich tries to keep a straight face as the host jokes with him, but he breaks into a large smile. The video gained over 174,000 views on YouTube[1] in five years.
A screenshot and GIF of the video started spreading online as early as 2017 through South America. For example, in 2017 memer @sentoavara posted a now-deleted Portuguese image macro using the screenshot (shown below).
