Spanish TV is known for its vibrant and sometimes hilariously unexpected moments. Here are four of the most absurd and unforgettable moments from Spanish television that left viewers in stitches:

1. El Gran Wyoming's "Fake Heart Attack" on El Intermedio

In a humorous yet shocking prank, the host of El Intermedio, El Gran Wyoming, pretended to have a heart attack on live television to demonstrate how media can manipulate emotions. The "heart attack" quickly escalated, with viewers genuinely worried until he revealed it was a staged prank to make a point about sensationalism in the media.

2. "Campanadas con las Uvas de la Suerte" Blooper

Every New Year's Eve, Spaniards tune in to the Campanadas to eat 12 grapes at the stroke of midnight. In 2012, a notorious blooper occurred on Canal Sur when they cut to a commercial right as the clock began to strike. Thousands missed the countdown, causing confusion and outrage, as Spaniards are serious about their New Year's tradition. The incident became a running joke on Spanish TV.

3. Leticia Sabater’s "Salchipapa" Music Video
