Resumo
The laugh is a human phenomenon, that has different faces depends on the historical period
and how the intellectuals see it. It can be morality s instrument and deviation s punishment;
element of be extinct; way of release, since it would produce a new world s vision, based in a
nom-official popular true ; or a way to economize the psychic energy necessary to keep an
inhibition; or still, it can be answer of the nothing the existence, what award it, in the
contemporarily, moment of provisionals truths, a deep presence in the society, so to say that
the laugh became present in all of the places, show that the reality is, at the same time, liquid
and humoristic and confirming the importance of to study this human skill. So, it opted to
work with the humor, specifically in the television, principal mass media in the Brazil and,
particularly, the Chaves program, since it is considered a greater success Brazilian mass
media, as proves the audience. However, this program presents a difference: it is being
televised too much than 20 years, almost without stop, what make it a case to be studied, but
in a different way: associated it with the picaresque literature, because believes that it main
character is a nom-hero, as the picaresque hero (with home, work and swindler) and the
program, itself, is a picaresque romance, because the others characters are ways to make a
social criticism that is, specifically here, conservative, like the parody, since doesn t try to
change the poverty s situation of the main character or of any others characters life, but only
to let see these life s conditions. At the same time, Chaves presents a series of aspects that
explain, in a certain way, it success, since the innocence; the type of humor, founded in
everyday and simple plots; the textuality ; the theatrality ; a persuasition s grammar; the
use of concrete and primary thought; and still, the proximity with the italian commedia
dell art, elements confirmed from the analyses of ten histories on, when tables about many
scenes and about the characteristics of the characters were built. But, it s still necessary to say
that not even all these elements together are capable to justify the success of this humoristic.
Due to see Chaves as a cultural product of Latin America, that goes besides of technical
questions, and so it gets to keep itself for many years, wining, always, new publics, over
