Wow Mali

The revival of Wow Mali, finally aired this Sunday evening, February 22, 2009 with familiar setup. As usual hosted by Mr Joey de Leon, it was funnier than ever. Practical joke, actual gag show along the streets with random people as victims.

Wow Mali has become the Original Philippine practical gag show aired over ABC (Associated Broadcasting Company) Now TV5. It has been imitated several times by different directors and television channel. "Victim" by ABS CBN and even GMA's Yari Ka by Micheal V. took the idea from this show and a lot more. I see this as a potential rival/counterpart of Yari Ka!, since they have almost the same set up. Though they do not have the same timeslot, (with Wow Mali and Bitoy's Funniest Viedeo, where Yari Ka is shown) I still can see rivalry. Jeoy de Leon and Micheal V are good friends, infact they are both in our favorite noon time show Eat Bulaga. IDK... what do you think?

Bubble Gang

Bubble Gang is my favorite gag show. I have been watching this ever since I was young. Though I can no longer recall the past gags made by them in the past, I could still recall some of the gags which tickles me some times.

When I was still in grade 5(1995), I enjoyed watching Tropang Trumpo in ABC 5. I could not forget the Smokey Manaloto (one of Tropang Trumpo's cast) singing and dancing "Caronia" immitating the edvertisement of Coronia, a nail polish. I have fun watching them. I was young then and on that same year about October, Bubble Gang was aired to counterpart Tropang Trumpo. They almost have the same programs. The main casts who are pioneer of the show are Ogie Alcasid, Micheal V, Antonio Aquitaña and Wendell Ramos. Diego and Myka came in later and the rest came in a few years ago.

Bubble Gang first aired on GMA Network on October 1995 as a counterpart to ABC's gag show Tropang Trumpo. The show occupied the Friday night timeslot of the now-defunct musical variety show "Vilma! on Seven". Two of its first cast members; Ogie Alcasid and Michael V. came from that show. GMA hired two talents from ace talent manager, Douglas Quijano Wendell Ramos and Antonio Aquitania. During its first year, it was shown around 7:00 in the evening and carried a slogan "Bubble Gang: Just chew it!"

Bitoy's Funniest Video

Bitoy's Funniest Videos is a Philippine comedy show aired every Saturday nights on GMA Network hosted by Michael V. (also known as Bitoy), dubbed as the Master of Disguises. It is patterned after America's Funniest Home Videos, Jamie Kennedy Experiment and Girls Behaving Badly.

Yari Ka! (You've Been Fooled!), the main segment of the show, features various disguises of the host pulling off non-offensive pranks to ordinary people. This is usually done by collaborating with the relatives or close friends of the person to be fooled. The show also contains themed segments of complied videos from America's Funniest Home Videos, with the segment entitled America's Funniest Videos. Filipinos can also send their own funny video clips to be shown on the segment Pinoy's Funniest Videos, where the senders of the winning clips are awarded PHP 10,000, 5,000 and 3,000 for first place, second place and third place, respectively. The winners are voted upon by the studio audience or chosen by a selected judge in absence of the studio audience. Just For Kikays, abbreviated as "J4K", hosted by Kris Bernal (formerly Jewel Mische, then Ryza Cenon), shows ladies performing pranks to people, particularly men. This segment is patterned after Girls Behaving Badly. Co-hosts Chariz Solomon and "Mang Enriquez" (who impersonates Mike Enriquez) hosts On The Spot Kasabwat (On The Spot Accomplice), a contest where three passers-by are called to do prank challenges. Each is given PHP 3,000 when the challenge is completed. Shocking Siya! (He's Shocking!) features a dwarf person, "Dennis Jimenez", who disguises as any unsuspectible spot or object and shocks people, by revealing himself while yelling "Yari Ka!".
