I am very fascinated on how Comedians in a comedy bar can hold their power over you. I recall this one event wherein me and my barkada went into a certain "Laughs" comedy bar in Tomas Morato. There's this comedian who looked like "Tsokoleyt". He was chubby, dark and in our society's norm not much good looking. Me and my boys seated at the front row. Drinking beer and having fun. When suddenly this comedian noticed my friend who much looks like an "aetan".
He teased my friend saying that "Ay! Tignan nyo to mga echos! Ito ang katunayan na naghihirap na talaga ang bar na toh, aba eh pati ba naman pomeranian pinapasok nyo nya! Guard!" refering to my friend. The room bursted with laughter of course, but my friend just kept his cool and quiet. Then the comedian asked my friend to go on stage, my friend obliged, the comedian asked what's his name, after my friend answered, the comedian said "ah akala ko brusko?" Laughter emerged from the room again. I myself was laughing from the way the comedian makes fun of my friend.
Now I realized what's the power of someone who is in the position to make fun of you. He is in the authority to disempower you and put his rules and regulations unto you because we are in his authority. I mean come on, to tell you the truth the comedian is not in a hell chance good looking, his looks weren't far from my friend but since he is in the one holding the mike and putting on the jokes, he captured the audience and made fun of my friend. Just to show how the power of authority works in a comedy bar.
Of course it's filipino humor, if you get insulted because of this then you lose. Ika nga nila "Ang pikon ay laging talo".
