Casseta & Planeta is a Brazilian group of comedians who run a TV show named ''Casseta & Planeta Urgente'', broadcast by Rede Globo. The humour featured on the show is mostly satirical, relating to religious or ethical groups, and minorities (Portuguese, Jewish, politicians, homosexuals, drunkards, Gaucho, natives of Bahia, Argentines, and others). The group founded a company called ''Toviassu Produções Artísticas'' (Toviassu Artistic Productions), whose name is an acronym composed of syllables from the phrase ''"Todo viado é surdo"'' – "Every gay is deaf"; which is the ending of a widely known Brazilian practical joke. Each one of the seven members has a specific function within the company. They present their TV show at Rede Globo and publish a website and many books, among other products, for example the ''"Machobol"'' (a parody of frescobol which is a game similar to tennis played in Brazilian beaches). Originally a magazine named ''Casseta Popular'' and a humour newspaper called ''O Planeta Diário'' (in a nod to Clark Kent's Daily Planet), the two teams joined forces and were hired by Rede Globo to become writers for the network's comedy shows, starting with TV Pirata in 1988. A few years later, they starred in their own show. ==Members== * Beto Silva * Bussunda (''died June 17, 2006 as a victim of a heart attack, while covering the World Cup in Germany'') * Cláudio Manuel * Hélio de La Peña * Hubert * Marcelo Madureira * Reinaldo * Maria Paula (''sometimes considered the 8th member, at least for the TV show'') 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Casseta & Planeta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
