In a land where humor supposedly reigns, Filipino entertainers have somehow mistaken body-shaming for comedy gold.

Who could forget Vice Ganda’s infamous concert moment, where ridiculing Jessica Soho’s weight became the highlight? Throw in a distasteful “rape” joke, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for comedic disaster.

These entertainers, with their razor-sharp tongues seem to believe that poking fun at someone’s physique is the pinnacle of humor, eagerly cheered on by audiences whose laughter echoes their own cluelessness.

Perhaps it’s time for these comedians to step off the stage and enroll in a crash course on empathy—or better yet, comedy that doesn’t punch down. After all, there’s nothing funny about degrading others for a cheap laugh.
