The show was originally aired on Saturdays, began from March 20, 1999 to November 17, 2001, replacing Tropang Trumpo and moved to Fridays from November 23, 2001 to March 7, 2003, to compete with GMA 7's Bubble Gang. From March 16, 2003 to February 15, 2004, the show was reformatted with its new title Ispup Atbp. and moved to Sundays, replacing the former timeslot of The Price is Right and was replaced by PBA on ABC.
The program was known for its extensive use of political satire and parodies poking fun at various aspects of Filipino and occasionally foreign pop culture, solely focusing on the popularity and sometimes notoriety of celebrities, television shows, and political figures. When the show was reformatted in 2003, original sketches were added.
