WATCH | Clueless Americans decipher #AlDub in Buzzfeed video
Buzzfeed finally came to the AlDub party.
“This show is electric! I don’t know what the f*ck is going on but it’s just like a whirlwind of fun sh*t,” says a staffer of one of the internet’s premier merchants of viral content in the video “Americans Respond to #AlDub”, released online on Friday, two days after BBC Online reported about the global social media phenomenon spawned by the “Eat Bulaga” love team of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza.
The hilarious two-minute video dissects the tandem’s appeal and the meaning of “pabebe” from the point of view of Americans who not only don’t understand a word of Tagalog but also think “Bulaga” sounds like a whale — “a cute whale.”
One respondent even pronounced it “Ba-loo-ga” — as in the pejorative term for a dark-skinned person — while paying the the 36-year-old noontime show the ultimate compliment.
“Say good bye to your ’Desperate Housewives’, ‘Parks and Recreations’. Throw that sh*t out. ‘Eat Baluga’ is coming to the States.”
