Muchachada Nui is a Spanish television comedy show, consisting of unrelated sketches that use absurd and surrealistic humour. It was broadcast on La 2 of Televisión Española. It is the sequel of La hora Chanante, that first aired on Paramount Comedy (Spain).
Since Paramount Comedy owned the rights of the previous programme, including its name, "La Hora Chanante", a new name was needed.
In an interview [1], the cast explained that "Muchachada Nui" is a combination of "muchachada", a common word in their manchego vocabulary meaning "a group of lads", and "nui" from "ojete nui", as in "cuando te pica el ojete porque no te has lavado bien" (when your arsehole itches because you haven't washed it well).
The same actors that appeared in "La Hora Chanante" appear in "Muchachada Nui". However, their roles are not the same, as a result of the copyright issue. The ones that appear most often are: Julián López, Ernesto Sevilla, Raúl Cimas, Carlos Areces, and the director and creator Joaquín Reyes.
As in "La Hora Chanante", each programme is hosted by a impression of a famous star facing some kind of trouble. This story is divided in parts, and, between them, other sketches are shown. Some of these sections are repeated throughout the weeks, though only "Celebrities" and "Mundo viejuno" are always present. Many of these sections were present in "La Hora Chanante" with a different name.
Celebrities: Joaquin Reyes characterises a famous person, and speaks about their life from a humorous point of view, always with a manchego accent. This character introduces the other sections throughout the programme. It is the equivalent of the old "Testimonios" section in "La Hora Chanante".
Mundo viejuno (Elder world, viejuno being a word from their manchego vocabulary): Old movies - generally B movies, such as Mr Wong in Chinatown, with Boris Karloff - are redubbed with a plot that echoes the original one and at the same time takes advantage of the images to create a comic effect. It is the equivalent of the old "Retrospecter" in "La Hora Chanante".
Las aventuras del joven Rappel (The adventures of young Rappel): A parody of the show Smallville, where the main character is Rappel (a famous fortune-teller in Spain) who is in the process of discovering his powers. Rappel is played by Carlos Areces.
