Zorra Total was a Brazilian television comedy broadcast by Globo Network. It was launched on March 25, 1999 and has aired on Saturdays, at 10p.m., ever since May 1999.
Despite being leader of hearing in its exhibition schedule, "Zorra" is heavily criticized for his style of fool humor, and is considered by many as one of the worst programs of Brazilian television.
This part was created based in the new Brazil's president Dilma Rousseff. Here, a parody, called "Dilmaquinista" (Fabiana Karla) (a pun in Dilma and Maquinista [Portuguese for Machinist]) drives a subway. In the subway, there's a lot of people inside it, representing the Brazilian people. Some of this people are the couple Valéria (Rodrigo Sant'Anna) and Janete (Thalita Carauta) (who is often called by Valéria as a Baboon, Weird or American [since she aways talks some English phrases during the comedy]). At the very end of the episode, she says: "Eu sou maquinista de primeira viagem, mas já estou pegando o jeito!" (I'm a beginner machinist, but I'm getting the hang on this!).
In this part, a man called Fernando (Lucio Mauro) always receive visits (which are famous people). They start to talk when his wife, Ofélia, ever shames him, telling offensive things for them, but not by purpose. At the end, the celebrity gets angry and go out, making Fernandinho lose one more friend. At the very end, Ofélia says: "Eu só abro a boca quando eu tenho certeza!" (I talk only when I'm sure!).
In this part, there is an eight-people family (four of them are a wife, a husband and two sons, and the other part is a wife, a husband and two daughters). While the adults play cards, the kids think in something to play and start to talk. During the playing, they call their parents, to confirm something their parents said, but, on the back on the other family. The kids reveal this says and shame their parents.
Lady Kate is a rich woman with a hard past. The main comedy starts when her ex-boyfriend and her enemy invade her house and mess up with her. At the very end of each episode, she says: "Eu tenho a grana, só me falta me glamour! O que que é? Eu tô pagando!" (I have all the money, missing just the glamour. What's up? I'm paying it!). She's always talking some words in wrong way.
Salomé (Chico Anysio) is always talking with Dilma in a telephone, just to claim about the government. At the very end of the episode, she says: "Desligou! Eu não quis ofender! Eu juro, juro..." (Hung it up! I haven't wanted to offense! I swear it, I swear it...).
