No te rías, que es peor

There were two contestants competing. The first test consisted on them facing the jokes of several comedians. Every time any of the contestants laughed they were deducted points (or, in later seasons, granted less points). Other test consisted in the contestants trying to make laugh each other. They were also faced with an occult panel in which they had to make pairs (at first, in the panels there were Spanish comic characters and later the faces of the comedians) in a limited time. The maximum prize there was 350.000 pesetas (2.100 €).

The contestant who earned more points had to face again the comedians and stand still and serious in order to not lose points.[2] In the final test, the contestant had to select as many boxes from an occult panel as points he had. The contestant would win any object appearing twice in the panel. The prizes went from a plunger to a car.
