Characters
Gil Brother: Once homeless and a beggar, Jaime Gil da Costa, also known as Gil Brother, was invited to be in Hermes & Renato crew to make a dancer called Gil Brother. His dancing style is similar to late 1970s break dancing. Gil uses a lot of bad language, and was made famous exactly for this exaggerated number of cursing words. By having no adequate education, some words are spoken wrong, like laptop, spoken as "Lac Toc". He's considered by his fans a Master.
Hermes & Renato: The original (and originally only) attraction of the show is this, in which two guys, Hermes and Renato, get in troubles in every episode, ending in an unexpected way. The characters are a parody of pornochanchada (Sexploitation movies made mostly in the 1970s and 1980s in Brazil) and also the common kind of pimps. They've already tried to make money in every way, playing cards, winning a poetry contest, opening a butcher shop selling cat meat, as masons, as pet-caring Gil Brother's bird (and ended up killing the poor animal) lending money from Gil Brother (and paying with ham), etc.
Joselito: He is an extreme prankster. All of his pranks end up in tragedy. He seems as if he's the only one having fun with his jokes. His last name is "Sem Noção", which means "clueless" in English. His jokes are always jokes of poor taste.
Boça: He lives with his grandmother, loves old video games and dresses as if he were a child, despite being 32 years old and speaks in a heavy paulista accent. He's a parody of a personality style that is, most times, attached to geek–nerd.
Massacration: A metal band joking the common stereotype of metal bands, where the vocal always needs to scream with a pretty shrill voice, and every other member needs to use leather black clothes. Massacration's name was later joked to be an adaptation of the restaurant where the band played the most before fame, the "Massas Crezio", "Crezio's Pastas" or something like it.
Cláudio Ricardo: A parody of João Kléber, Gugu Liberato and some other known announcers, Cláudio Ricardo is a quack announcer doing everything to be famous, and he's constantly hosting his Cláudio Ricardo Show and giving interviews after leaving Rehab.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“Children pay little attention to their parent’s teachings, but reproduce their characters faithfully.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Philosophy is written in this grand book—I mean the universe—
which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it.”
—Galileo Galilei (1564–1642)
“His leanings were strictly lyrical, descriptions of nature and emotions came to him with surprising facility, but on the other hand he had a lot of trouble with routine items, such as, for instance, the opening and closing of doors, or shaking hands when there were numerous characters in a room, and one person or two persons saluted many people.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
