Striscia la Notizia (ENG: The News Slithers) is an Italian Satirical television program created by Antonio Ricci in 1988 and which still airs today. This program is a parody of the daily news that speak of important events in the Italian Peninsula but with a cartoon-like tone. It have 33 seasons and it counts (from June 27, 2020)  6,877 episodes, still in air every evening (except Saturday, Sunday, and in the Holydays, where still on air his humoristical spin-off: Paperissima Sprint).

Why it Rocks?

 * 1) Italian satire in its purest form.
 * 2) A lot of friendly and funny television guests, such as the memorable duo of Ficarra and Picone, Gerri Scotti and Michelle Hunziker. Also the mascotte of the show, Gabbibbo, is interesting, funny and memorable.
 * 3) The idea of making a TV show that parodies the usual boring national news in a more immature tone is fun and creative.
 * 4) Since the show's purpose is to parody the news, every single piece of news is taken in the most hilarious way possible: instead of dealing with it with a host reading the news while scrolling through a series of images as any bland newscast would, it loads them with delightfully Italian jokes., of sound effects by Hanna-Barbera, of ironic skits taken from various famous films and other similar slang while still having some seriousness.
 * 5) When the show begins, two expert dancers start dancing with provocative and well choreographed poses to the rhythm of pop music.
 * 6) They cover not only news, but other interesting facts and hilarious. For example, they have a lot of columns, each with a unique theme:
 * 7) *Striscia lo striscione: Speak of the football (in particular the A series).
 * 8) *Striscia il cartellone: The ex-comic Cristiano Militello take us for a trip in Italy to see the most Hilarious and non-sense text of the peninsula.
 * 9) *Spetteguless: Speak of the most hot gossips of the week.
 * 10) *Il cabaret di pasticcini: A little compilation of famous web videos.
