What it actually is

Short sketches, usually two or three minutes, performed at full conversational speed with the slang, sarcasm and cultural references intact. Nothing here is adapted for learners, which is exactly the value: if you laugh at the right moment you understand Brazilian Portuguese. Free, enormous back catalogue, Portuguese auto-subtitles are usable. Frequently crude and irreverent about religion and politics, so it will not suit everyone.
