The pot calling the kettle black

Although the full phrase goes "el comal le dijo a la olla, que tiznada estas" (‘the comal said to the pot, you are so full of soot’), for most people it is reminiscent of a popular children's song by Francisco Gabilondo Soler "Cri-Cri" in which the comal complains to the pot for laying on top of it (‘el comal, le dijo a la olla, oye olla, oye oye!, si tu te has creido que yo soy recargadera’).
