Gran Cuñado (in Spanish, "Big Brother-in-law") was a segment of the TV program from Argentina Showmatch, hosted by Marcelo Tinelli. It had 19 participants, began broadcasting on 11 May 2009 with a 31.9 rating and a peak of 46 points. The program consisted of a series of comedians characterized as Argentina's most prominent politicians, including parodies of various clichés. With those imitators they made a parody of the reality show ''Big Brother'', especially the stay of participants in a "house" where he pretended to live, and a regular nomination process through which one participant was eliminated at a time. The triumph belonged to the imitation of Francisco de Narváez, by Roberto Peña. The program was broadcast for much of the electoral campaign for the legislative elections in Argentina in 2009 and given its huge success several media suggested that it influenced to some degree its development.〔(El efecto de Gran Cuñado sobre la intención de voto ) 〕 Several of the parodied political made statements on the program, and some even visited it in person. ==Description== The imitations of politicians were made by various comedians of the program, disguised in ways that grotesquely mimicked the look of major Argentine politicians of the time. The scripts were written by cartoonist Cristian Dzwonik, known as "Nik". Their dialogues and behaviors were based on clichés made from well-known events or quotes of them. For example, the imitation of former president Néstor Kirchner frequently used the phrase "¿Qué te pasa Clarín, estás nervioso?!" ("What's wrong Clarin, you're nervous?!"), reflecting the conflict between the Argentine government and Grupo Clarín. The specific phrase was used several times by Kirchner during a ceremony in the town of Tres de Febrero, shortly after his defeat in the elections at Catamarca.〔(Molesto por el impacto electoral, Kirchner apuntó contra la prensa ) 〕〔(Kirchner, contra Clarín tras comicios adversos ) 〕 Another example, one of the first commercials by Francisco de Narváez used the slogan "votame, votate" ("Vote me, vote yourself") which prompted his imitator to use other verbs in verbal forms like, or even the phrase "Alica, Alicate" that sounds similar in Spanish. The imitations were developed in two main contexts, the "house" and nominations; both parodies of similar procedures performed in the reality show ''Big Brother''. The house showed politicians in a simulated environment of everyday life, where all of them would live together. There were discussions taking place, parties, jokes among politicians, etc. The house was also the place where it was announced which politicis were nominated out of it and which ones were not, which was used to show various reactions. Groups of participants were nominated for eviction and viewer could vote by phone to decide who should "leave the house" and cease to be part of the program. One of the drawbacks of the format of the program was that some politicians (like Cristina Fernandez and Macri) were played by the same comedian, which prevented both being used simultaneously. This was resolved by not nominating politicians in this situation at the same time (the composition of the groups nominated was not controllable by the public), and using an extra actor in the house without speech lines assigned. The group of politicians elected in the beginning did not include Gabriela Michetti or Pino Solanas, who achieved notoriety soon after. The program office decided to include imitation by Anita Martinez and Toti Ciliberto respectively, but only for scenes in the house without incorporating them into the system of nominations. It was also included an imitation of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, the only non-Argentine politician parodied in the program. 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「Gran Cuñado」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
