Characters

Ceasar and Chuy are a couple of animated hosts of a music video show on LATV. The pair watch and critique music videos as they are being shown. Ceasar and Chuy have ongoing hilarious stories throughout the episodes, and they touch on serious issues ranging from Global Warming to the state of education; all of course, from their unique perspective.

Ceasar and Chuy attend the East City Vocational Junior College and they interact with other characters in that setting. One of them being Keel Whitay, a professor, and others include their classmates, Jerome, Rosario, and Dhat Ho.

Ceasar
Ceasar is a native of Puerto Rico, and he seems to bring the calm and peace that has become indispensable to Chuy. he tries to keep an open mind, while still being reasonable. Chuy hardly ever listens to Ceasar's advice, hence ensuring that Ceasar is constantly cleaning up after Chuy.
Keel Whitay

Even though he is a Caucasian male, Keel Whitay feels the guilt and responsibility to the welfare of minorities in the United States. Having studied at UC Berkeley, Keel Whitay received his PhD in liberal arts.
Jerome
Jerome is Ceasar and Chuy's African-American friend. Jerome is paranoid and feel everything in his life, especially bad things, happen because he's black. Jerome is most likely Ceasar and Chuy's best friend.
Rosario

Holiday specials

Music videos

One of the key elements of the program is the inclusion of music videos, and their ruthless and irreverent critique of the artists and music featured on the videos, à la Beavis and Butt-head. Nothing is sacred: the performer, lyrics, or the production in general.

Criticism

The critiques of the music video are often censored by LATV due to the content of some of the content; however, Ceasar and Chuy have been known to speak the truth.

Ceasar and Chuy in most shows play a cultural music video, being a Mexican banda or a Puerto Rican orchestra. They really turn up their criticisms on these types of music videos.

Good music videos

Ceasar and Chuy absolutely love music videos that feature women in skimpy attire.

Reggaeton is another genre that gets Ceasar and Chuy to become heartless with their comments.

Music video interaction

Ceasar and Chuy are sometimes seen dancing or skating as the videos play.

Controversy

Sometimes, the program gets into a little trouble by touching issues and/or saying things that may cause a reaction from their audience. In the "Touch My Horroscope" episode, the animated duo called Walter Mercado's hotline, only to find that their future was being gathered from Mercado's crystal balls, in which it was insinuated that it was referring to his genitalia.
