Ep 6. The Teammate

Arturo Castro brings a new episode of his sketch comedy series "Alternatino with Arturo Castro," and this time he delivers an exciting episode titled "The Teammate." In season 1, episode 6, Castro depicts the story of a man who has a peculiar way of dealing with his fear of losing his spot in a basketball team.

The episode starts by introducing us to a basketball team, where Castro's character, played by Arturo Castro himself, is a standout player. He dominates the game and scores the most points, but his teammates only pass him the ball because they are afraid. They know that if they pass it to somebody else, they may lose possession, so they rely solely on Castro to win the game.

One day, they have a game against a new team, and one of the players on that team, played by comedian Mark Indelicato, catches everyone's attention. He's a skilled player, and he's not afraid to take chances. The team starts to worry that Indelicato's character might be a threat to Castro's place in the team. The anxiety grows when a game is scheduled between the two teams, and Castro gets injured, leaving him unable to play.

The team is devastated, feeling like they're going to lose the game without their best player. However, things take an unexpected turn when Castro comes up with a bizarre and outrageous plan. Realizing that he can't play and wary of losing his place in the team, he suggests that one of the teammates (played by a hilarious Chris Distefano) stay behind and “be” him during the game.

The teammate agrees, and the plan goes into action. The teammate dresses like Castro, mimics his mannerisms, and even starts speaking in a Jamaican accent (which is hilarious in its own right). The team is incredulous but willing to try anything to win, so they go along with the plan; after all, nobody knows them in the new team, right?

As the game unfolds, things start to spiral out of control. The teammate starts using Castro's signature moves, but he can't pull them off the way that Castro does. He can barely keep his wig and beard in place. To make matters worse, Indelicato's character sees through the charade and calls the teammate out.

What follows is a chaotic and hilarious game that ends up going down a different path than expected. The episode concludes with an unpredictable turn of events that leaves the viewer laughing and scratching their head in equal measure.

"The Teammate" is a refreshing and funny episode of "Alternatino with Arturo Castro." It successfully combines elements of drama and comedy, keeping the audience on their toes throughout the entire episode. The episode is absurd, witty, and well-scripted, and the characters are vividly brought to life by the talented cast.

All in all, "The Teammate" is a must-watch episode for fans of sketch comedy. Castro continues to push the boundaries of what we expect from comedy, and each episode proves his sharp comedic timing and versatility. This episode is no exception, and it's sure to leave viewers laughing out loud.
