The segment became even more humorous when Vice Ganda realized the potential implications of the joke. Referring to the network where the show is currently aired, the host quickly added, “Ay ume-ere pala tayo sa kanila… joke joke lang ngani,” which drew laughter from the audience and the other hosts. The remark was a playful nod to the fact that their program reaches viewers through various channels, including those with business ties.

Netizens were quick to clip the moment, with one social media user commenting, “Pasmado talaga bibig ni Vice ‘no,” referring to the host's famous reputation for having no filter when it comes to satirical comedy.

The joke comes at a time when a video of Cynthia Villar has been circulating widely across various digital platforms. In that video, the former senator was seen in a tense discussion with security staff at BF Resort Village in Las Piñas City. The staff were reportedly implementing a dry run for a new traffic scheme during rush hour. Villar was clearly displeased, shouting at the personnel, “Ide-demanda ko kayo!” and questioning their authority by saying, “Ano’ng kalsada? Eh harap ng bahay ko ‘yan lahat. Bakit ‘yung iba hindi mo nilalagyan?”

Vice Ganda, whose real name is Jose Marie Viceral, has built a massive career out of observational comedy and social commentary.
