* Insults of the public
Daily section of the presenter David Broncano where he receives insults from the public through social networks and comments on them.
* Monologues
Daily and initial section presented by David Broncano in which he reviews current affairs in a humorous way, especially the most absurd and surreal news on the scene. Despite having a humorous and casual tone, its most critical side has also been applauded with some of the political and social situations of the moment.
* Interview
Program space in which David Broncano interviews a guest, a group or some formation. The guests tend to have a lesser presence in the media than those of other programs on the same network, which allows to discover characters that until now had carried out a few or any interviews. The star question that David Broncano always asks is "How much money do you have?", along with the question of "When was the last time you had sex?". Many guests respond and others prefer not to respond and keep the mystery.
The program has often been applauded because of the great visibility it gives to women's sports in the country by very often inviting athletes who do not have the opportunity to attend other programs to do their promotion.
*Who would you rather see dead?
Jorge Ponce shows two photographs of two different celebrities and asks the audience a question: who would you prefer see dead. He presents arguments in favor of each famous and finally it is the public who makes the decision; the most applauded is the one that they prefer to die.
