Style
Style
Capatonda's comedy is based primarily on parodying common mistakes of Italian speakers, and also in using long words out of their intended context; he makes his characters speak as clumsy illiterates that accidentally create new words along the way, trying to express themselves. Another part of his production ridicules commercials, reality shows, TV snake oil sellers and fortune tellers, soap operas, and film trailers. Sketches are peppered with onomatopoeia and strong emphasis in pronunciation. Another regular feature are the extremely unlikely names of the portrayed characters, frequently based on puns.
