María Gómez, a presenter on the television show Zapeando, performed a rap song dedicated to hemorrhoids during a broadcast on May 19, 2026 [1].
The performance highlights the program's focus on comedic, lighthearted content and the presenter's willingness to engage in unconventional challenges to entertain the audience.
Broadcast on La Sexta in Spain, the segment featured Gómez rapping about the medical condition [1]. The performance was not a random occurrence but a deliberate attempt to improve upon a previous comedic rap. Gómez said she decided to take on the challenge after seeing Roberto Leal rap a medication prospect on the show El Hormiguero [1].
By choosing a topic as taboo as hemorrhoids, Gómez sought to demonstrate that no challenge is too daunting for her to tackle on air [1]. The segment reflects a trend in Spanish daytime television where presenters utilize absurdist humor, and physical performance to drive viewer engagement.
This specific performance occurred last week during the May 19 episode [1]. The clip has since been shared via the network's digital platforms, continuing the conversation regarding the intersection of health topics and comedy in mainstream media.
“María Gómez performed a rap song dedicated to hemorrhoids.”
This segment illustrates the use of 'shock humor' and self-deprecation in Spanish variety programming to maintain audience attention. By transforming a medical ailment into a rap performance, the show leverages the contrast between a clinical subject and a modern musical genre to create viral, shareable content.
