User Reviews

This series is absolutely hillarious. I watch a lot of movies with subtitles so I didn't really mind it.

The jokes are great the story is unique and each character suits their role perfectly.

7.3.

Excelente demostración de carácter por parte del director, Martín Piroyansky, protagonista, guionista y director de la producción. Casting revelador y tomas cinematográficas. Aguante Argentina, pa!

Summary

Modern and ingenious comedy by Martín Piroyansky that unfolds a multitude of situations and characters, many times with a parodic register and always with perfect timing.

Review

Pablo (Martín Piroyansky) and Ramón (Ignacio "Nachito" Saralegui) are two thirtysomething single friends who get together every Friday to watch porn movies and have ice cream. But when they go to a taxi bar they link up with Cecilia (Sofía Morandi), a small-time swindler who sees the opportunity to form a rock band with them to run it and profit from it. The detail is that the two friends are not musicians...

This is the trigger for what could generally be defined as a sitcom, but it is much more than that. Martín Piroyansky writes, directs and co-stars in a modern and very Buenos Aires comedy that perfectly captures many generational elements of millennialism in Buenos Aires (although shot in Montevideo and Punta del Este).

The tone goes from the naive to the perverse, depending on the situations and the multitude of characters that parade, with figures from the under and not so much in small roles and even cameos. It is necessary to name, among many others, Susana Giménez incarnating the despotic and millionaire wife of a candidate for president (a character surely quite similar to her) who enjoys (and suffers from) a curious and funny sexual fetishism and Jimena Anganuzzi in a character absurdly far removed from his physique du rol.

Parodic moments abound (it is better not to advance the topics and genres) in a succession of very well scripted short chapters that are pure happiness and that boast moments of very ingenious humor. And since we are talking about a fake band that ultimately ends up playing, some original musical themes will parade that will be very difficult to get out of your head as part of a great musicalization in general.

The technical bill is impeccable: the series, with its bright colors, is also a feast for the eyes and its timing is perfect. The three protagonists are very good: Pablo and Cecilia are revealing their nuances not exempt from miseries, although perhaps the discovery of the series is the almost imperturbable and endearing Ramón de Ignacio Saralegui.

Porno y Helado is one of those series that you can also enjoy when you see it again and perhaps it will have a cult following.

I'm very glad I stumbled on this new show as it is extremely funny, with gags on many levels: think Spaced, Broad City, Seinfeld or early Simpsons. The characters are compelling and warm, and there's a certain sweetness to it that means you root for the lovable losers even when they sabotage themselves.

While you might not get the appeal of a post-modern Argentinian sitcom on paper it really is a gem you should try.

Very funny. Piroyanski really knows about entertainment, the film was produced in Aegentina and Uruguay and i like it. Great actors, locations, soundtracks, characters. Definitely a good one to see with friends!

Hilarious series that tells the story of a group of unsuccessful thirtysomethings. Some scenes are very very funny. The story is told in the city of Buenos Aires with many features of the millennial and the argentinian culture (fight uber vs taxis, economic crisis, 30's crisis, get rich, specialty coffees, be cool, rock band, etc etc).

Abrazo Martin Piro!

Sali.

I didn't expect much from an Argentine comedy, but I was pleasantly surprised!

It was very good, very funny, I will continue watching it.

This chapter is an 8 out of 10.

I found some similarities to "The Big Bang Theory"

Martin has talent as director, nobody denies that. Nacho is funny, charismatic and did a good job here. Sofía is a really good actress. Having said that the show sucks.

Martin may make his fans laugh but a real actor was needed in his place.

I know it's a comedy, but it was a way too overacted comedy. Not funny at all (and I'm not demanding the script just doesn't work, jokes don't work).

I couldn't make it to the second episode. After a few days I gave it a second chance with same luck.

Artistically looks nice but everything was too clean. If you were in Buenos Aires you know what I'm talking about.

If you want to watch something that is silly and where you don't have to think about anything, then yes watch it. It has a very silly and simple humor. I rescue the themes that they composed, are very catchy.
