No, Pio and Amedeo with their little ones listen to Elisa sing “A modo tuo”! But how, the champions of the politically incorrect, the two unpunished parasites, the insane carriers of rudeness, have a heart and are moved when they cling to the image of innocence!
Who expects a «Happy Evening. All inclusive» (channel 5) under the banner of rudeness (better than the act of rudeness), he will have been disappointed. But breaking the mold, wearing surprising new clothes, is a sign of maturity. Perhaps the first edition of the show had disappointed precisely because of the contrast between a type of comedy that needs street and editing and the classic variant. This time Pio and Amedeo seem to have found the right balance, ranging from the slight sneer (the obsession with inclusivity, the mockery of Chiara Ferragni’s “Pensati libera” in Sanremo) to the amusing interview with Silvia Toffanin, striving in every way to get himself the stone guest Piersilvio Berlusconi.
Zucchero’s performance, which offered a potpourri of his repertoire, got the audience dancing in the hall, but I don’t think it thrilled them at home. Even all the gags on the singer’s name (Cane of, veil of, sachet of…) didn’t seem exciting.
The presence of Gigi D’Alessio was much funnier and more professional, who played with being neglected by intellectuals and wore radically chic clothes to entertain the audience of Rai3, the Lucia Annunziatas, the Paolo Crepets, the Marco Travaglios (who it is a known sorcino, it’s just radical). The pair’s lengthy tirade about how difficult it is to behave with children resumed subjects already addressed with greater spirit by Fiorello, while the inevitable presence of Michelle Hunziker added little to the show (as if to say: After midnight it can be a bit heavier, that’s all).
Pio and Amedeo looked like two hard-working students of Checco Zalone, careful not to overdo it, because on TV, like in life, context always matters. On Italia 1 they like vulgar, sleazy, rude, unfiltered. On Canale 5, especially after the references to the “Big Brother” cases, we need to be more controlled and less… “stochastic”.
