Program


The first act in the program is a parody of modern religious groups. The act begins with the mockery of subjects like sins, the devil and self-help programs.

The second act in the program, it begins with an introduction which refers humorously to oriental subjects, and then segues into a parody of oriental music and the Arabic custom of having multiple lovers and wives.

The third act of the program is a parody of the silent movie era. It begins with the group recounting the plot of a silent movie, and ends with humorous consequences.

The fourth act in the program is set at a restaurant. A person talks to a woman he has met and forgives himself for what he has done to her. The restaurant staff starts pestering him, and at the end it is later discovered that he was rehearsing before he actually talked to the woman.

The fifth act in the program is a parody of child psychologists and the songs that are made specially for babies and children to help motor skills. It ends with near-impossible movements that can be practiced (the presenter ends up entangled with his own body).

The sixth act in the program is a parody of family entertainment programs. It mocks the attitude of show's host when he brings on a group that plays Chamber Music (classical music) instead of the planned Tropical music band.

The seventh act in the program pokes fun at the Music Hall groups of the past, and ends with accidents caused by the singers' rivalry.

The eighth act in the program is about Spanish pirates and opera pieces. It starts with a group of all-male sailors transporting female pirate prisoners who are to be handed over to the Spanish government. They fall in love and sadly have to give them back to the pirates.

The closing act is a parody of nostalgic interview shows. They invite an elderly singer who can barely remember what he did in his life, and who doesn't understand most of the questions.
