SeriesComedy
Each episode takes the form of a broadcast made by a fictional pirate television station from a fictional small-minded village in East-Flanders, manned by a small number of VJs who introduce various sketches disguised as news or human interest reports. The style of both the program and its official website is deliberately amateurish. Most episodes involve a framing story which intertwines with certain sketches. Many characters are recurring and feature several catchphrases. The series sometimes includes sketches about current news, such as a baby found at a railway station, but also reacted to some negative critique, not taking itself too seriously.

The nerve-racking events of a cold winter's day, seen from two different perspectives. The odd episodes tell the story of a team of police negotiators and special forces who respond to a hostage crisis in a small bank branch.

MovieComedy
Neveneffecten is een cabaretviertal bestaande uit Jonas Geirnaert, Lieven Scheire, Koen De Poorter en Jelle De Beule. Jonas en Lieven zijn in het echte leven dubbele neven: de moeder van de ene is de zus van de vader van de andere; en de vader van de ene is de broer van de moeder van de andere. Dubbele neven dus, vandaar de naam Neveneffecten. In november 2003 reden Neveneffecten in een geleende Nissan Micra 372 km noordwaarts naar het Groninger Studenten Cabaret Festival. Twee dagen later keerden ze terug – toegegeven: in dezelfde Nissan Micra – maar ook met de hoofdprijs en een geweldig juryrapport. De voorstelling groeide van 30 naar 90 minuten, en De Morgen vond de première van Zinloos Geweldig de beste comedvoorstelling van 2004. Neveneffecten tourde vervolgens door Vlaanderen en Nederland, maar niet altijd in de Nissan Micra want Jonas zijn ma had hem soms zelf nodig.

In Geub, the wife of fictional Philippe Geubels runs off with the charismatic Dutchman William Van Bronkhorst, who is thirty years her senior. In addition to being eligible for retirement, William is also an almost too sympathetic man who seems impossible to anger. However, that doesn't stop Philippe from regularly trying. Deeply humiliated and depressed, Flanders' most popular comedian turns to his mother Sonja, who supports him with advice and laundry baskets full of ironed clothes. Philippe's entourage also includes his regular technician Dikke Dirk and his best friend Pannenkoek. They do what they can to cheer Philippe up, but unfortunately, that's not much.
