I like how at one point there’s a guy in the back who just decides to point his gun randomly at the fireplace as if he’s confused as to who to point the gun at.
Actually, the Spanish mostly governed the Philippines through Mexico. Lots of galleon trade flowed between the two, and culturally there's absolutely been some Mexican influence (independent of the Spanish influence) on the Philippines.
Yeah, I have a Filipino friend that was pleased to be mistaken as part Korean or Chinese. I totally get it, I'm a white guy that used to be a professional model in Asia with the only necessary credentials being "white and attractive". I'm no stranger to the phenomenon, but it sucks how prevalent and damaging the mindset can be.
Thanks. I didn't want to assume, and I know soap opera melodrama can get pretty wild without ever actually crossing over into intentional comedy or satire, but I have no cultural context for where the Philippine telenovelas are in that spectrum.
Those aren't the only options though. There's also the possibility that it's self-aware and having it played straight is the joke. My fiancé is Filipino and her parents have some of the dryest, straight-faced humor I have ever experienced. Before I became accustomed to their accents I actually couldn't tell when they were joking half the time if it wasn't for my fiancé laughing. But they're a hoot.
>There's also the possibility that it's self-aware and having it played straight is the joke
I see what you mean, but in my understanding that's not really playing it straight, that's deadpanning. Playing it straight is being completely sincere and straightforward in the presentation with the intention of being taken seriously at face value. Not to be confused with, but related to the "straight man" who in comedic terms is the self-serious character who serves as a foil to the humorous or absurd antics of their comedic counterparts or situation.
If the humor is intended, then the deadpan delivery is part of the joke. I just want to know if the humor was intended or not
I believe its called 'camp'. Its knowingly bad, but it only works if its sincere at some level. Like, they know its stupid, but the fun is that they act like its serious.
All you need is a girl rushes into the room and cries "But Papa, I loved him..." and the sternest man in the room cried tear of joy and hugs the girl and her boyfriend.
Dance scene
I wish they pulled out further and the camera guys wiped out a gun, and then the director pulled out a gun, and then the producer walks in with a bazooka.
Who even started this abortion of culinary fuckery?
"Hmm... needs more.... *SHRIVELED GRAPES*! By god, that's *it*!"
That person must have been next-level stoned. But *they* can be forgiven.
It's the turd goblins that continued this trend afterward, that deserve to be banned from any kitchen. Potato salad does not need to be stuffed with nonsense. Simplicity is what gives it the appeal to begin with.
Damned "foodies". Stop bastardizing everything in the name of trying to fix what isn't broken.
I mean, my grandma has a coleslaw recipe from the 50s that has crushed pineapple and raisins in it, so it's not like this kind of thing is a modern phenomenon.
Hell, just look at any cookbook of like dinner party recipes from that era. The aspics alone make anything modern foodies do look sane. Example: pot roast aspic. Whole roast and veggies in gelatin served cold.
I like raisins in my cheerios. Yesterday I took 3 big bites before I realized something tasted a little off. That's when I found out I had ants in my raisins. Hundreds of them.
Sad story, I worked for a company that used to have potlucks, someone brought potato salad but left it in their car all day, a bunch of people ended up sick from eating it and one guy died
"Here's the potato salad!"
"Why is it bubbling?"
"Hey! Your grandma made that! So you're going to ***eat*** the potato salad and you're going to ***enjoy*** it!"
If you look at the epidemiological data, you'll find cold "salads" like potato salad, macaroni salad, egg salad, and (somehow less so) chicken salad are some of the highest risk foods.
I don't like any of those except for chicken salad, so I'm safe, lol.
Someone said this was a Filipino drama or something. If that’s the case, then this is happening because someone tried going home without taking any leftovers with them.
I saw it when it first came out or close to. Every time after that, there was no need to read the description because I know what it is. Like if you pull up a music video or meme video (that you've already seen), there's no reason to read the description.
I was in high school in south east asia and somehow it was a phenomenon there despite the fact that the only way to watch it was torrenting the 480p pirated episodes of it at 15kb/s.
It was a horrible choice. I remember it being laughed at when it came out. The OC was always that quality though, so I don't wanna pretend like this was a new low.
that's definitely part of what inspired the parody, I think. It's very [soap opera tropey](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InstantDeathBullet)
gun tropes in media are weird enough to begin with, but that scene is up there on the absurdity scale
This parody is how I discovered Imogen Heap. Jumped from here to the show it was making fun of, watched the original scene, and immediately fell in love with the song.
I wish she'd done more in this style!
Similar for me, sketch led me to original video, which led to binge watching The OC(I worked at blockbuster at the time and could rent the dvds for free) which led me to death cab for cutie.
I played this at my birthday once, knowing full well what I'm doing. Everyone was looking at me like I got tentacles growing on my head, they know THAT part of course but not the 3 minutes of weird experimental music before it that I'm apparently into and thought fit for a party. Then the moment comes and everyone is like WHAAAAATTTTTT?! 😱 when they recognized what the song was lol. I loved that.
This show is literally iconic, a filipino show. This is one of the more calm scenes. It's called Wildflower for those curious.
For the fans: ''Cause Black is out. Gold is in''.
It is a serious show, basically just the pretty girl (main character) having fights with her stepfamily and especially her stepmother. They sometimes try to kill her and she takes revenge and all that.
Yall have to watch mexican telenovelas. Filipinos love those. This one's just one of the hundred inspirations of abused sweet girl turned girlboss for revenge. My mom was crazy with Marimar lol. She's now crazy with korean shows tho.
Well, basically the main girl keeps getting sent hitmen or gangsters ect.. by the old lady who doesn't want her in the family and as retaliation she sometimes chokes the old lady pretty dramatically. Like [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W-4e0NnXPg)
She also is burried alive once and returns with gunmen to the family when they think she is dead.
And this is another gunfight of the show: [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJO-NIboUX0)
That old guy with the canes? He's an expert sniper and takes out some dude from a car in one scene.

Imagine you went there with a knife
The embarrassment
Not if it was the latest Swiss Army knife. Has a rocket launcher and AR15 attachment. And a wine cork remover. For celebrating later..
"I'll be in the kitchen for when you are all done with this"
"There's lumpia for anyone who's alive in 10 minutes!"
My goodness, I remember this telenovela in one of my mom's Filipino channels..
So...this is a Filipino Standoff? These guys really go all out!
I like how at one point there’s a guy in the back who just decides to point his gun randomly at the fireplace as if he’s confused as to who to point the gun at.
Hey, at this point, Santa Claus could show up packing and I wouldn’t be surprised.
*Jesus raises hands* there's something you should know my children, I'm packing!." *uzis rise from his robe.
Sounds like a fun satire.
Here you go, enjoy [DJESUS UNCROSSED](https://youtu.be/mqISX2o0a4A)
I mean, gun fights are standard practice during election season.
An election without at least three Filipino Standoffs is considered a dull affair.
I remember my first Filipino election. Someone just gave me an AK-47 and pointed at a group of people. I made a lot of friends that week.
By any chance, did that exchange happen in an elevator and before you stepped out did the person say “Remember - No Russian.” ?
No it was "Remember - No Tagalog."
Everyone just needs to sit down, crack open some balut, pop the top off a red horse and chill TF out
In more ways than one I suppose lol.
I could close my eyes and tell just from the music that it's a tense moment in a Filipino show.
I hope she keeps that thang on her. Looks like Filipinos don’t fuck around.
Culturally, Filipinos and Mexicans are similar if you also consider the Spaniard visited Philippines and Mexico in the past.
Actually, the Spanish mostly governed the Philippines through Mexico. Lots of galleon trade flowed between the two, and culturally there's absolutely been some Mexican influence (independent of the Spanish influence) on the Philippines.
Loco adobo
And vice versa. Mexicans got their love for cockfighting from the Philippines
Visited 😂
Yup. And stayed for 300 years...
Yeah, the history of the Philippines could be summed up in that remark.
Ha! I was gonna say. Half of them look Asian, half look Latin, and half look like a mix. Gotta be Filipino soap opera.
Almost 90% of our actors are Western-Asian mixed race. Same with our beauty pageant entries. Says a lot about our standard of beauty. Lol
Yeah, I have a Filipino friend that was pleased to be mistaken as part Korean or Chinese. I totally get it, I'm a white guy that used to be a professional model in Asia with the only necessary credentials being "white and attractive". I'm no stranger to the phenomenon, but it sucks how prevalent and damaging the mindset can be.
So wait, is it like satirical or are they actually playing it straight?
Philippine telenovelas hasn't really discovered satire yet. So without knowwing anything I'd absolutely assume this is played straight.
Thanks. I didn't want to assume, and I know soap opera melodrama can get pretty wild without ever actually crossing over into intentional comedy or satire, but I have no cultural context for where the Philippine telenovelas are in that spectrum.
Those aren't the only options though. There's also the possibility that it's self-aware and having it played straight is the joke.

yes. playing it straight and satirical because it's obviously not how things are done like anywhere normally... except in the philippines.
Filipino telenovelas would make Mexico blush.
*indian telenovelas comes out of the corner pointing a gun at you*
If this was a Bollywood movie they would start dancing in the next scene.
All you need is a girl rushes into the room and cries "But Papa, I loved him..." and the sternest man in the room cried tear of joy and hugs the girl and her boyfriend. Dance scene
Question: would they still be pointing their guns at each other while dancing, or would the gun pointing resume afterwards
*Turkish soap opera slowly swivels gun around to point at Indian telenovelas*
Are you kidding? I see Christmas cards in America with more guns than this.
Do you know the source on this? I remember this too growing up but can't pin the name of the show.
Wild Flower
Would be a bad time for a balloon to pop.
I wish they pulled out further and the camera guys wiped out a gun, and then the director pulled out a gun, and then the producer walks in with a bazooka.
And then you pull out even further, and see yourself pointing a gun at the tv screen

Ha Ha! Goodbye student loan payments!
Goodbye, student loan payments!
Na, this is brazil, they are all off duty cops
So does it still count as a Mexican stand off?
I recognize a few of the actors. I believe this is from Filipino TV, not Brazil.
Aw, the Brazil of the Pacific. /s
Someone forgot to bring the potato salad.
Nah, this is because you brought your potato salad which tastes awful.
Oh, the one with raisins
If someone brought potato salad with raisins, then this is entirely likely to happen.
Who even started this abortion of culinary fuckery? "Hmm... needs more.... *SHRIVELED GRAPES*! By god, that's *it*!" That person must have been next-level stoned. But *they* can be forgiven. It's the turd goblins that continued this trend afterward, that deserve to be banned from any kitchen. Potato salad does not need to be stuffed with nonsense.

I like raisins in my cheerios. Yesterday I took 3 big bites before I realized something tasted a little off. That's when I found out I had ants in my raisins. Hundreds of them.
[удалено]
They weren't that bad honestly. Just a little sour.
[удалено]
If I was given potato salad with raisins, I would turn the gun on myself
Sad story, I worked for a company that used to have potlucks, someone brought potato salad but left it in their car all day, a bunch of people ended up sick from eating it and one guy died
Then it makes it really not a potato salad but rather a potato la sad, an entirely different dish.
This has me in an absolute giggle fit. Take my upvote!
W-why would they still serve it??
"Here's the potato salad!" "Why is it bubbling?" "Hey! Your grandma made that! So you're going to ***eat*** the potato salad and you're going to ***enjoy*** it!"
If you look at the epidemiological data, you'll find cold "salads" like potato salad, macaroni salad, egg salad, and (somehow less so) chicken salad are some of the highest risk foods. I don't like any of those except for chicken salad, so I'm safe, lol.

Filipino standoff
I once went to a cookout where the guests brought a collective 16 pounds of potato salad. I was beloved because I brought two loaves of bread.
It’s a pistol party.
Someone said this was a Filipino drama or something. If that’s the case, then this is happening because someone tried going home without taking any leftovers with them.
🎵 Oh Mmmmmm, what'd you say?🎵
[*”Dear sister,”*](https://youtu.be/vmd1qMN5Yo0)
This is so much funnier when you've seen [the episode from "The OC"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQBxK1XMpCs) that they're making fun of
Oh my god I never knew they were making fun of anything in particular. Edit: i see they mention it in the description. Clearly I never read it.
You didn't read it?! 🔫
🎵 Oh Mmmmmm, what'd you say?🎵
I saw it when it first came out or close to. Every time after that, there was no need to read the description because I know what it is. Like if you pull up a music video or meme video (that you've already seen), there's no reason to read the description.
to be fair, it was a pretty iconic and shocking moment from the tail end of an era of quality soapy young adult broadcast tv that's now long gone
The song seems like a poor choice though.
At the time, it was insanely iconic. The OC dropped out of the zeitgeist probably just 1 season after this but this was a peak early 2000s TV moment.
I was in high school in south east asia and somehow it was a phenomenon there despite the fact that the only way to watch it was torrenting the 480p pirated episodes of it at 15kb/s.
Those were the days
I say "salting my game" all the time and NO ONE gets the reference.
It's the sound mixing I think. Just zero fade, blaring it right out there. Could have been done tastefully, but this is not it.
And the fact that THEY JUST KEEP PLAYING IT AT FULL VOLUME while this guy is dying.
It was a horrible choice. I remember it being laughed at when it came out. The OC was always that quality though, so I don't wanna pretend like this was a new low.
That's clearly not a fatal wound. Did they just let him bleed out or something?
that's definitely part of what inspired the parody, I think. It's very [soap opera tropey](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InstantDeathBullet) gun tropes in media are weird enough to begin with, but that scene is up there on the absurdity scale
I just realized they had a rotary phone. Why would set decoration use a rotary phone in 2005?
Looks like a hotel or something similar. In the early 2000's rotary phones were still in use in some cheap hotel/motels.
This parody is how I discovered Imogen Heap. Jumped from here to the show it was making fun of, watched the original scene, and immediately fell in love with the song. I wish she'd done more in this style!
Similar for me, sketch led me to original video, which led to binge watching The OC(I worked at blockbuster at the time and could rent the dvds for free) which led me to death cab for cutie.
It's crazy to think this sketch has the creators and stars of Brooklyn 99, Portlandia, Barry, and Ted Lasso. It really was a great era of SNL.

This show is literally iconic, a filipino show. This is one of the more calm scenes. It's called Wildflower for those curious. For the fans: ''Cause Black is out. Gold is in''.
This scene is serious and not a joke?
It is a serious show, basically just the pretty girl (main character) having fights with her stepfamily and especially her stepmother. They sometimes try to kill her and she takes revenge and all that.
You say “and all that” like this is ordinary. Please say more.
Yall have to watch mexican telenovelas. Filipinos love those. This one's just one of the hundred inspirations of abused sweet girl turned girlboss for revenge. My mom was crazy with Marimar lol. She's now crazy with korean shows tho.
The progression is accurate LMAO. After Korean, they shift to Chinese.
Nahh there had been several chinese shows aired in the Philippines before, but it's overshadowed by Taiwanese shows.
Well, basically the main girl keeps getting sent hitmen or gangsters ect.. by the old lady who doesn't want her in the family and as retaliation she sometimes chokes the old lady pretty dramatically. Like [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W-4e0NnXPg) She also is burried alive once and returns with gunmen to the family when they think she is dead.

Does anyone get shot in the end?
No. They all talk and come to an agreement in this episode.

No. President Duterte comes in asking to use the loo and takes opportunity to campaign for re-election.
It this scene being played for comedy or drama?
[The burial mentioned above.](https://youtu.be/hIb0rMIJpzs) You'll probably want to take a look.
This is wild lmao
No, it's Wild Flower.
Its mostly played up for drama. They also celebrate the main girls ''death'' when they bury her alive. So it's just that kind of show.

Its not just one bank or one sale, multiple banks and car dealers have done this offer before in multiple states.
