Noticiario Desinformativo

A popular Dominican sketch comedy show from the early 1990s hosted by Felix Pena and Rafael Alduey. It parodied the style of radio news broadcasts using puns, absurd street reports, and slapstick misunderstandings. The show was a pioneer for the style of sketch comedy troupes that still dominate Dominican television, and it featured recurring characters like Bolivita and his catchphrase, But how is that possible! (The mention of Dario in the example refers to the Dario Contreras trauma hospital in Santo Domingo).

Aware that man lives in a world of ideas that clash, break a leg, and are taken to Dario, we present... (teletype sound effects) NOTICIARIO DESINFORMATIVO! IVO! IVO! ivo! ivo! ivo!... NOTICIARIO DESINFORMATIVO! ...TRRRRRRAGIC! They dry up a river with a towel!
