Portuguese are more darker more sterotyped med looking compare to Spaniards but not so much in phenotypes.

well I watched until 2:55. One of the examples sucked and I left the video.
Pelado in Spanish means what they claim but also the same than in Portuguese, so... fuck you.

We don't really use that word in Portugal, it is common in Brazil. To a bald person we call "careca".

We say calvo (bald), not pelado, for start with. We can say "te has pelado", but we never would say "estás pelado", or "there goes a pelado".
Hard to explain.

But as I say, we also use the term pelado for the same than in Portugal. For example if you peel a fish you can say "está pelado".

The languages are similar yes. The main difference i see is in the past form of verbs. Example:

fizeram - han echo

That and some vocabulary but in general texts are mutual intelligible. Spoken accents are another story.

We never use that term though, we will say instead "está escamado".
