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:
“There are men so philosophical that they can see humor in their own toothaches. But there has never lived a man so philosophical that he could see the toothache in his own humor.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Nine-tenths of the value of a sense of humor in writing is not in the things it makes one write but in the things it keeps one from writing. It is especially valuable in this respect in serious writing, and no one without a sense of humor should ever write seriously. For without knowing what is funny, one is constantly in danger of being funny without knowing it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
