On the evening of March 1, the program "Gap nhau cuoi dan" aired for nearly 1 hour. After 20 years of absence, the comedy show returned to the screen, and was eagerly awaited by many audiences.
According to the production team, the program does not have a fixed format, does not follow a pattern, and will flexibly transform, creating surprises in each episode.
In the first episode, the story of festivals and folk culture is exploited from many perspectives. The program staged both live and interactive parts on stage to diversify the audience experience.
The first part is "Quac Quac News" about the innovations in the festival, the situation of spring trips at the beginning of the year for the people. In this part, BTV Viet Hoang and BTV Son Lam dominated, making the format quite similar to a TV broadcast news report.
A controversial scene is the scene where BTV Son Lam met 3 "hot girls" in the urban gentry club. When seeing the male hero fight the female hero and have a physical contact, Son Lam and the young men have tactless words and expressions, like "hot people".
The scene of Son Lam being excited and happy because he thought he could fight with the beautiful girl also caused a lot of controversy. This part also uses AI technology to simulate some customs in festivals, making the framework unreal.
After that, the two main characters played by Do Duy Nam and Trung Ruoi had an activity to learn about the village of Duoi. The two young men communicated with the elderly, but the dialogue was sometimes brilliant because the character kept cursing, sometimes it was noisy because the old man had a hard ear and could not hear clearly.
The second half of the show took place in the studio, with a Luck Spin format similar to " Choose the right price" or "The Magical hat".
Through games and rituals staged by the two scammers, the message before being conveyed is forms of transformation and profiteering from folk customs such as praying for luck, watching feng shui, " grabbing" people's virtue, paying money to watch the festival.
Many viewers commented that the show brought laughter and satire about ugly stories during the holiday season. Although there are no veteran artists who have been involved with "Gap nhau cuoi tang" 20 years ago, the efforts of the actors and BTV are worth mentioning.
Taking advantage of the digital platform, the program actively interacts with the audience, creating a playground where the audience can contribute their opinions, comments or even send their humorous situations and stories for the crew to adapt into skits.
Released in the early 2000s, "Gap nhau cuoi dan" was once a popular comedy program, leaving a deep impression on the audience with satirical comedies, "for life" characters and creative staging style. More than two decades have passed, and many audiences still mention the show as a symbol of laughter on television.
