Humor
One of its humor features is done in a style reminiscent of Sergio Aragones' marginal cartoons in Mad Magazine: at the bottom of each page (except the covers), the statement Sabía usted que...( Did you know that...?) is printed and followed by a remark which can be obscene, witty, snarky, or impenetrable, but is always very short. Another hallmark of the people is its "shocking" covers, which often contain near-nudity and photoshopped heads, along with ironic or double-entendre captions.
- Examples:
- It's true: marijuana leads to coke, fries, two burgers, three ice creams...
- Ghosts don't believe in people.
- If everybody who says they were there, really was there, the GAP (Group of Personal Friends, an organization established to serve as a paramilitary presidential bodyguard for Allende) had about 70,000 members.
- To be on the front page of Las Últimas Noticias, all you have to do is bare your butt in a disco.
- Barney is Godzilla's gay son.
- For the cost of a missile, you can make 25,000 envelopes with anthrax.

Famous quotes containing the word humor:
“Every American, to the last man, lays claim to a “sense” of humor and guards it as his most significant spiritual trait, yet rejects humor as a contaminating element wherever found. America is a nation of comics and comedians; nevertheless, humor has no stature and is accepted only after the death of the perpetrator.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“To be perfectly, brutally honest, those of us who are still carrying diaper everywhere we go are not at our most scintillating time of life....We need to remember that at one time in our lives, we all had senses of humor and knew things that were going on in the world. And if we just keep our social networks open, there will be people ready to listen when we once again have intelligent things to say.”
—Louise Lague (20th century)
“There is also this benefit in brag, that the speaker is unconsciously expressing his own ideal. Humor him by all means, draw it all out, and hold him to it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
