STRANGEBREW….Erning, ihanda mo ang awto..
“*Sa tagal nyo ng pagtratrabaho dito at paghihirap. Ano gusto nyong baguhing ugali ng tatay nyo?”
…eternal words of Tado…:)
From a line-up drawn from missed auditions and lop-sided bargainings, Erning and Tado lead the cast of which would become a prelude to several indie followers crashing the entertainment scene with butt-cracking antics you wouldn’t let your values education teachers watch.
Tado, a well known independent film actor/comedian and sidekick Erning, starred by Julia Clarete during the early stages then replaced by Angel Rivero later due to reasons i dont know, became instant icons as word spread of something “strange” brewing on Saturday nights.
Directed by RA Rivera, Strangebrew features the misadventures of Tado as he roamed the metro meeting day to day characters, sticking his nose to people’s lives while enjoying side trips to places he doesn’t seem to care about.
A factory making crayons, taho kitchens. firestations etc, who on earth would ever take interest on such things, however squeezing silly questions which are often out of the topic fairly deflected all my rotten tomatoes. Several of his lines were hailed classics by tambay communities all over.
Tado (Arvin Jimenes blurred on his NSO birth certificate) is quite a person who can draw sarcasm out of mere stupidity. His punchlines may be poorly delivered at times, nonetheless no one can dodge its confusing appeal.
Angel Rivero a.k.a. Erning built her popularity by constantly uttering the word “TAMA!” on every occasion she feels fit (or unfit), so many it sounds weirdly irritating. She also drives the famous “Awto”, an old beat-up volkswagen beetle used on the show that later received an overhaul before just like bumblebee, without the intuitive fm radio of course.
Lastly, there was Ramon Bautista. Because of the show’s ahem…exquisite demands for talent ( or lack of talent fee budget), Ramon Bautista played numerous spots such as the electrolux man, tubero,salesman,panday,sirena,direktor,diwata,multo,dwende, preso,bowling,golf,tennis king,magnanakaw,taong grasa and much much more. A diversed comedian with a unique sense of flexibility, he managed to stumble on other stints right after the show was cancelled. I guess i’ve seen him on a studio 23 sportshow and a locally filmed parody of David Blaine.
The show got cancelled after merely two seasons, maybe because of low sponsorship from advertisers. It made me feel a certain loss in a way, and I guess other people who followed the show share the very same sentiments. In a celebrity driven world where telenovelas rule the evening tube, it’s great to have at least one good show to lighten impromptu conversations with thoughts that would appeal to even the weirdest people you know. Too bad it has to end, but t’was indeed damn good while it lasted.
Kudos to RA Rivera for setting the indie flame ablaze. I leave u now with unforgettable lines from the show, who knows you might get something from it,.. well maybe not.
