Most emblematic representations:

The grandmother: She was an older lady with little filter who was encouraged to ask the strangest questions.

This character arose as a result of the remembered “Mama Cora”, from the movie “Waiting for the float” of 1978.

The teacher Noelia: She was a teacher who was willing to talk about everything. In 1996, he was already referring to sex education, something that at that time was almost not mentioned in schools.

The public employee: “Outside,” he was heard saying to this character every time a famous one approached him. He interpreted it in his programs and in the cycle of Susana Giménez.

Soledad Dolores Solari: She was a woman who was looking for work, but who was lonely and distant and had a strange relationship with her mother. With black wig, Morticia Addams style, this character was that of a fearful and quite quiet woman.

Bárbara Don´t Worry: This character was that of a quite lush television presenter, a lot of mouth, a lot of hair, many breasts. Very pompous and full of errors or furcios when expressing.

Yolanda: This character is that of a woman who makes everyone believe that she is invalid and takes advantage of it to ask all those around her favors.
