Cristina Chiabotto, finally a presenter: vote 8
“You’re not offended if we only called you for the rhyme with Tv8, are you?” Forest usually asks her at the beginning of the episode. Cristina Chiabotto, however, is there to subvert the predictions. And she succeeds. Gialappa’s shows have always been a “male association” (penalty quote), few presenters, over the years, have accomplished the feat of not letting themselves be engulfed by trios and associates in the studio. After the baptism of fire with the impalpably voiceless Paola Di Benedetto and the second episode entrusted to Melissa Satta’s ectoplasm, here is finally a presenter who knows how to do her job, despite a courageous coral suit. Impervious to Forest’s jabs, Chiabotto kept the rudder firmly, giving life to a perfectly balanced 50 and 50. In addition, we discovered new details about her: she wears shoes in sizes 42-43 (“You are the all you can eat of every fetishist!”), she eats mainly fruit and vegetables (“Like orangutans!”) and, of course , wrote a book. She launches the sketches, she sends Forest’s hits back to the sender and, above all, she has fun. We go overboard: she too deserves to return to TV on a permanent basis. She is certainly statuesque, she is a statuette not even in jest.
Ornano trudges (and slips on Gianluca Vacchi): vote 5
We reiterate it: it is difficult to reject something from the GialappaShow. Not out of fond nostalgia, simply because, on the whole, more or less everything works. To trudge, however, Antonio Ornano. Seven days ago we had already addressed the strengths and weaknesses of his influencer dad Vinicio who, from the “Sugar Daddy” channel, not even too secretly hates all the children in the world. This time, it’s the turn of the renewed “Brando Godano narrates”. The sketch no longer takes place in the studio but outdoors and this certainly helps to make it less static. The comedian, in an attempt to imitate Federico Buffa, leads us to the discovery of Gianluca Vacchi’s mansion, guarded by the financial police. Every gimmick is, all in all, trivial. Not to mention that the targeted character, although still very popular on social media and arch-millionaire, is no longer strictly topical. Especially after the controversy that arose around him months ago, at the same time as the launch of the Prime Video documentary on his life. Perhaps, he would have benefited from targeting a more talked-about celebrity hic et nunc. Or, simply, of this rogue narrator who cleans his shoes on the curtains of Vacchi’s villa while dreaming of Ibiza… unfortunately we don’t care. Also because, on closer inspection, it always seems like a tired reiteration of a parody by Ornano himself, as we have come to know him on stage, rather than by someone else. Maybe it gets better. For now, he’s boring.
Alessandro Betti, a bit of a chef and a bit of a fakir: vote 7
Alessandro Betti deserves to be in the fixed cast of the GialappaShow perhaps more than all the others. Already the backbone of the mythological Buona la Prima by Ale and Franz on Italia 1, he has a lot of stage behind him. Here we see him playing a starred chef greedy and prone to porcine incest, but also the Tandoori fakir. We could dare even more on the first character: hyperbolically (but not too much) every day we witness the whining of some superstar chef who complains of not earning enough, while he leaves hundreds of euro blank rigatoni on the menu. It would not be bad, possible lawsuits aside, to ride this trend. The Tandoori fakir, on the other hand, is an evergreen character. Seven days ago he had his heart shot after a number gone wrong, this time he’s stone dead for a hair dryer in the tub. Regardless of the danger, he’s as funny today as he could have been in ’95. On Twitter it works a lot and vox populi, vox dei. However, we would like to give Betti an even higher mark than this, even though it deserved, 7. In the meantime, namastè!
The commentary on the Sky reality shows (desperately wanted trash): vote 6-
Gialappa’s Band, despite the absence of Mr. Carlo Taranto to whom our thoughts always go with the hope that he will return to the fold, would make you laugh even commenting on any shopping list. It must be said, however, that the Sky archive does not have the same trashy potential as the Mediaset one. Mai Dire Grande Fratello remains unattainable precisely because of the variegated human material that lived in the most spied on house in Italy (or who wanted to enter it). Shows like X Factor and Masterchef are decidedly more “elegant” and lack that ferocious, primordial biscionesque “shining”. Ex on the Beach and Primo Apuntamento put a patch on thanks to characters from the parts of the extraordinary, like the guy who claims to have the womanizer look of one “Raoul Crowe”. Strange to say, he will return home with a two of spades dealt to him by Jenny, one of whom says of herself: “I think I can consider myself a woman in all respects”. They would have been a wonderful couple to nightmare, but unfortunately this is not a dream. Giorgio Gherarducci and Marco Santin, while always phenomenal in their jabs, would however need even more free-range audiovisual finds to make this reality block legendary at the level of the good old days. Right now, it tastes a bit like a wedding with dried figs…
Brenda Lodigiani, Ester Ascione superstar (better than Robocop): vote 8.5
If already seven days ago we were talking about a rescue for Brenda Lodigiani, now let’s break the delay: it is a consecration. The character of the artificial intelligence Ester Ascione stands out as a perfect fit, as well as a true superstar of the GialappaShow and of “disgusto” (for Forest). Aware of having hit the bull’s eye, dear Ester becomes more and more wicked and ambitious, reiterating that she wants “more space in the program” and then taking it on her own, with annoying slap-in-the-wall entries when she likes. Queen. A very good system interference, in an already superbly insane system. Orietta Berti’s vitriolic version of her is also excellent who, always connected from home, this time unmarks “the radioactive waste of the Pasini Brothers” proudly showing barrels covered with skulls, but very useful “for making the vegetable garden grow”. Brenda Lodigiani, after having gone quiet during the last edition of Lol on Prime Video, is now recovering all that she could have been of her. We can only congratulate you. And not just because she has more “Rabìa” than Robocop.
Toni Bonji, (il)legitimate son of Maccio and Frassica: vote 6.5
This third was perhaps not his best bet. And he still managed to entertain a lot. One and triune, Toni Bonji at the GialappaShow brings three characters. The first is the demotivator, a classic social media life coach who, however, aims to destroy the morale of those who follow him: “Do something you’ve never done, eat a pelican! And he remembers: you haven’t done everything wrong in life, you can fail even more ”. The sketch “Chi l’ha morto?” is also really inspiring, a short satire of the passion that more or less we all show we have for true crime programmes. Finally, Toni Bonji, launched on TV from the stage of Italia’s Got Talent, is also the writer Gustavo Delle Noci, known so far under the pseudonym of “Best Seller”. Among his most famous books, “How to lose weight without eating” but also “How to age well and quickly”. The next publishing success will be the sequel to “Bovini Adults”, i.e. “Manzo Criminale” which “will be released in all bookstores. Except sixteen”. In practice, the bizarre-surreal style of the sketches he proposes instills in the viewer, between one laugh and another, a palpable doubt: is it possible that Maccio and Nino Frassica are his Parents 1 and 2? He remembers them very much. Maybe too much?
Ubaldo Pantani, Barbieri who infiltrates Brianza is already a cult: vote 9
You can hardly see it, but it’s there. There is indeed. Ubaldo Pantani, the only historical name launched by Gialappa’s to have happily returned to the fold, is as always the king of imitators. Here he brings two characters, already loved by the public, namely Bruno Barbieri and Costantino Della Gherardesca. The first interprets it faithfully, only in the surreal context of “Quattro Motel”, an imaginary transmission that leads us to discover “one of the most romantic places in Europe: the province of Monza and Brianza”. Hunting for alcoves, Pantani-Barbieri in this third episode ends up in a boarding house by the hour with an evocative name: La Nave Scuola. To manage it, Mrs. Franca who has a penchant for narcotic herbal teas and Patrick from Big Brother (special guest of the sketch). If he is already perfect with Barbieri for unmotivated enthusiasm, voice and movements, Pantani surpasses himself with Costantino Della Gherardesca, a character objectively born to be imitated. He enters the scene on the shoulders of a bevy of porters, among which Alfredo stands out “who was previously the third of the Coma Cose (musical guests of the episode, ed) but then preferred to undertake a serious job”. He distils elegant contempt on everything and everyone for a few feral minutes and then leaves, advising Forest and Chiabotto to learn how to carry out a program by watching Beijing Express: “the show where a superfine conductor manages to make a trip out of town pleasant between celebrities in disgrace”. The parody is so successful that he would not be surprised to discover that Costantino himself wrote the lyrics…
