    • Quotes

      Bruno: Baja ahora mismo que no quiero manchar la tapicería del coche.

      Nino: ¿Y si no me bajo?

      Bruno: Entonces tendré que manchar la tapicería del coche.

      Vecino indignado: ¡Que pasa ahi! ¿Es que se ha vuelto loco? ¡Voy a llamar a la policía!

      Bruno: ¡Eh! ¡No me pise el césped o disparo! ¡Esta es nuestra casa y hacemos lo que nos da la gana!

      Vecino indignado: ¡Cuidado! No hable con él señora que es peligroso.

      Bruno: ¡Eso! ¡No hable conmigo! ¡No me dirijan la palabra que me acaban de taladrar un pie y estoy muy nervioso!

      Vecina desdentada: ¡Son unos cerdos degenerados! ¡Como todos los que salen por la televisión!

      Bruno: ¡Cállese señora! ¡Y póngase los dientes que no se le entiende nada!

      Bruno: Sal de ahí.

      Nino: ¿Me vas a matar adelante de toda esta gente?

      Bruno: ¿Que pasa, que te da verguenza?

      Nino: No, me la suda, estoy haciendo tiempo, porque a las siete esto va a estar plagado de policías, van a ver lo loco que estás y te van a meter en la cárcel ¡Así volveremos a estar juntos!

    10/10
    One of the best Spanish comedies
    This is a great comedy, I really don't know a thing about Spanish TV, but it doesn't matter, for this movie speaks a universal language, the language of comedy.

    Packed with scenes of absurd nature, this movie is a fantastic farce, as we follow the ridiculous careers of a pair of comedians who's fate is dictated by the public, rather than by their own decisions.

    Its exaggerated drama gives the perfect tone through the entire movie, you can either follow it or just wander about the ridiculousness of every single minute. Some may regard this kind of comedy dull or dumb, but the truth is its the most simple, minimalistic, rawest, unpretentious comedy you will ever see.

    Ridicule, absurdity, nonsense, drama.... you can find everything in this movie.
