History Series / HomoZapping

* CatchPhrase:

* VisualPun: During several ''[[Series/BigBrother Gran Hermano]]'' parodies, one of the contestants was trying to talk to another one named Cristal (the word 'cristal' can be translated as 'glass' or 'chrystal'). In one of these instances, he ended up yelling at a glass jar.

'''''Homo Zapping''''' was a Spanish SketchComedy show produced by El Terrat for Antena 3, which ran between 2003 and 2007. The cast of actors, led by José Corbacho, parodied the shows that Spanish television had to offer at the time. It was particularly popular in its first two seasons, later slowly declined and eventually was [[{{Retool}} retooled]] into a NewsParody called ''Homo Zapping News'', which starred Corbacho as Zacarías Prats (parody of famed news host Matías Prats). The format ultimately met its demise when ''Homo Zapping News'' introduced Zacarías' cousins as co-hosts, this last version lasting only three weeks before Antena 3 ultimately pulled the plug on the show. On December 2016, the show returned for a Chrismas special on Antena 3's sister station Neox, that is set to turn into a full-fledged revival during 2017.

* ReunionShow: A Christmas special was aired on December 2016. There is no word yet on whether this will turn into a full-fledged {{revival}}.

* {{Retool}}: In 2006, ''Homo Zapping'' returned as a daily NewsParody show, renamed ''Homo Zapping News'', hosted by José Corbacho in the role of Zacarías Prats, a parody of veteran Antena 3 news host Matías Prats. After a hiatus, it returned in 2007 with even more modifications: now it was weekly Friday night show, and Zacarías shared table with his cousins Rebeca, Germán and Lolo. This incarnation scored very poor ratings and was cancelled after just three weeks, effectively ending ''Homo Zapping'''s run.

* AccidentalMisnaming: ''Homo Zapping'''s resident {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, Raquel Revuelta, was the hostess of a show where she had to introduce viewers to upcoming films. Chances were she would not get the title (or any other thing about the movie of the week, for that matter) right.
