What Divine? Where's the Comedy?


Is it just me, or do others also find this the most ironic comic strip title?  I can't find anything divine or comedic here and, believe me, I tried to look. I can hardly remember a time when I read this strip and I actually chuckled. When it got dissed in PDI to give space for Carlos Caparas's oversized melodramatic strip (which is BTW the biggest wrong move in the history of funny papers), I thought I've seen the last of it. I do not hate Divine Comedy, I just can't take the fact that someone actually gets away with this kind of mediocrity. Given, magaling s ya magdrowing, pero wala lang t alagang lasa mga patawa nya. Minsan pa, downright nakakaasar lang. Ok lang hindi funny, 'wag lang almost daily dose of WTF. Gusto ko pag binaba ko ang dyaryo, after all the bad news, and after I read the comics, may ngiti ako kahit paano. That's why when I read PDI's Comic Relief, I always save Pugad Baboy for last.

To Mr. Pabalinas: Please take more time in thinking about the humor content in your strips. And please, read more about issues before you attempt to make a cartoon commentary.

Pero eto, may mga pumupuri sa Divine Comedy at naisasama pa sya sa nominees as one of the best Pinoy comic strips. Kulelat nga lang. http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?forumID=75566&p=3&topicID=7653980

But I'll prefer Divine Comedy anytime over Fringe Benefits Cafe. That one's just plain--there's no word that fits. Lemme just say FBC is The Vile Tragedy.

Family Guy: Tagalog Scene





I don't know if this is a real clip from Family Guy or if it had been edited. Pero ang galing nung pagkakaboses kay Stewie.

Para sa mga hindi pamilyar, isa sa mga bida sa Family Guy ay si Brian na asong nagsasalita. Si Brian ay may pinsan (na lalakeng aso rin) na may "life partner" na lalakeng tao. Hindi lang basta tao, siya ay si Ricardo na isang Filipino. It was in Season 4 that the wedding was announced, and Lois Griffin was so against it. Tumakbo ang story sa issue ng gay marriage.

I have no way to verify if this video is real because it is a supposedly deleted scene. Kung deleted na, pano ko pa malalaman?

I wonder how Pinoys would react. May aangal kaya na ini-stereotype nito ang mga Pilipino as gay dog lovers? O sasabihin ba nating pino-portray tayo nito bilang mga taong "gagawin ang lahat para lang magkaroon ng US Visa at green card"?
