This is now one of the most popular commercials in the Philippines. This is an ad for Motillium, a medicine for queasy stomachs. It features an impersonator of Philippine president Gloria Arroyo and a man who looks a lot like US President-elect Barack Obama (heck, he even sounds like him):
In case you didn't get the jokes:
- Kare-kare is a beef dish, thus the remark that "It's ox." The remark also means that it's OK.
- Ginataang mais is corn with coconut milk, thus the remark, "We use our coconut". Also, coconut is also a slang term referring to one's brain.
- Impatso is the term for queasy stomachs, which can be caused by eating too much.
- Kape Barack refers to kapeng barako, which is the Filipino term for brewed coffee.
