Let’s settle this the way our hilarious titos and titas would: with some friendly banter and a mandatory list! Seriously though, why are 1980s Filipino comedy movies still funnier than my last three family reunions?
Give me your ABSOLUTE must-watch Pinoy komedya films from the 80s. Is it Dolphy doing Dolphy things? Is it Tito, Vic & Joey making every scene look like an Eat Bulaga segment with zero commercial breaks? Did you ever try and copy Rene Requiestas’ punchlines with your classmates (and fail miserably)? And why does every comedy from that era include either a food fight, bed-slapping, or an obviously fake mustache?
Drop your favorites! Bonus points if you can actually find somewhere to stream them (I’m not above bribing my tita for her Betamax collection).
