The Noose is a parody of local news programmes such as News 5 Tonight, with fictional news reports and a presentation mimicking that of the real news. For example, every episode of News 5 Tonight begins with a CGI clock indicating the time, while every episode of the first two seasons of The Noose would spoof it by displaying the time using something more mundane, such as a plastic clock hanging on a wall. At the beginning of every episode, there is a candid disclaimer telling the viewer that the stories are not true. Each episode stars Michelle Chong, Chua En Lai, Alaric Tay and Suhaimi Yusof, with various actors and actresses as newscasters and interviewees, often with parodic mannerisms and names.

A weekly round up of all the headlines and stories you will not see anywhere else. We report, you believe, not our fault. Our stable of correspondents brings you in-depth reports about issues, idiosyncrasies, incumbents and insurgents, whatever all that means. The Noose…proudly brought to you by us.- The Noose Team. It is NOT the news. Irreverent, hilarious and totally outrageous, The Noose is a brand-new comedy variety programme which spoofs television news. Starring talented comedians Gurmit Singh and Michelle Chong as newscasters Roy Terse and Adrianna Wow, The Noose features news parodies which incorporates real news footage. In a format which follows the nightly newscast format, the straitlaced Roy and the bimbotic Adrianna are joined by an equally dubious team of "roving reporters" played by Chua Enlai and Alaric Tay.
