Talk:Casseta & Planeta

Untitled

The group merged the nonsense from Monty Python and the social caricatures from Saturday Night Live.

Untrue. They're nothing like Monty Python. I can see a bit of SNL's style in there, but saying it resembles Python is completely misleading. ☢ Ҡi∊ff⌇↯ 16:27, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

DISCOGRAPHIC WORK

Guys, this article is missing something quite crucial. Even before Casseta & Planeta made it to TV Globo, they released an album, "Preto com um Buraco no Meio" ('Black with a Hole in the Middle', a reference to a vinyl record). I believe this was released in 1987 - before TV Pirata.

I'm pretty sure they released at least ONE more album after that, but I don't know its name or release date. I will research further.

(I actually came to this article looking for that info, but found that none of their musical work is mentioned AT ALL!)

UPDATE ON THE ABOVE:

The Portuguese version of Wikipedia has info on these releases. ;) Apparently they started after they got into TV Globo, contradicting what I said above.

Link to the article of their first album (from there you can move to the next ones): http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preto_com_um_Buraco_no_Meio

Removed part

Reverted this edit since it's entirely unsourced and seems to be just some fan making a point.

Section removed:

One of its creative peaks was a sketch in which Jesus (as the coach) and the apostles formed a football side (Corinthians, in a nod to Sport Club Corinthians Paulista and to Espistles to the Corinthians) to play a Roman legionary team called Apocalypse -- famous for its foul play. In only two minutes of mind-boggling action we see the Apostle Peter (playing forward) miss three incredibly easy scoring chances (he also received a yellow card for injuring an oponent's ear). In the end Judas, the goal-keeper, accepts a wide shot and Corinthians lose the match. A mob of angry fans demand the coach crucified (to be "crucified" is Brazilian slang for receiving the blame unjustly) despite whispers that Judas had been "bought" by the enemy.

The episode attracted so much anger and criticism that it is often remembered as one of the causes of the show's decline in popularity.

Is it possible to be more homophobic and xenophobic?

Really, even this "comedian" group has an article on wikipedia? I mean, they are nothing than just a bunch of homophobes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.152.218.94 (talk) 20:28, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

That doesn't matter. Wikipedia is not to be censored. If we are to do as you believe, then shouldn't we remove the KKK article as well? Give us a break.

Unfortunetly, these guys are a huge success here in Brazil. Brazilian humour revolves around prejudice and puns, and these guys offer just that. Since they're notable, they get an article. — Kieff | Talk 09:10, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
