Peter Capusotto y sus Videos

Diego Esteban Capusotto (Born: ) & Pedro Saborido (born:) known on YouTube as Peter Capusotto y sus Videos (alias: peter capusotto) was an Argentine humor and music television program hosted by actor and comedian Diego Capusotto, who presents a collection of classic and contemporary rock videos, alternating them with sketches humorous starring himself. The sketches are sent by Peter Capusotto, the character that gives the program its title and that arises from the conjunction of the names of its creators
* the Anglo-Saxon version of the name of the program's co-creator, Pedro Saborido (Peter), and the last name of the host and also creator.
The program uses humor with various nuances, from the obvious to the allegorical (including the double meaning), to illustrate and parody, mainly, the behaviors, thoughts and typical attitudes of Argentines, both of the musical figures and of a large part of the country's inhabitants. In this way, surreptitiously or not, it produces a vision and a veiled criticism of certain idiosyncrasies and common acts of the Argentine people, generally framing them in a musical context.
