In the program, Sunshine played many characters; one particular character portrayed a clever closet homosexual named "Vitín Alicea Arévalo", many of whose phrases became household sayings. Another character portrayed a fake Pentecostal minister, "El Hermano Emmanuel" (Brother Emmanuel), who had a hunch (mirroring that of a famous Puerto Rican minister, Yiye Avila), was constantly angry (as yet another local minister, Jorge Raschke), frequently schemed to profit from the members of his congregation, and almost always was caught doing so. El Hermano Emmanuel constantly spoke trilling r's (and was often referred to as "Hermano Emmanuerrrrr"), and used a phrase mocking speaking in tongues: ""¡Salamaya!"" (derived from ""¡Sea la madre"!", or " be his mother!") as a punchline, particularly whenever the Hermano met a stunningly attractive woman, or when another character caught him in a profiteering scheme. A famous episode had the Hermano try (unsuccessfully) to cure José Feliciano from his blindness (Feliciano's memorable response was: ""I can see! I can see! I can see that you're a fake, I still can't see a damn!")
