Filipino Comedian Returns on YouTube

Years after his death, a legend finally gets the global recognition he deserves. Weng Weng, a 2’9″ Filipino midget martial artist who played “Secret Agent 00” in ’80’s spy movie spoofs For Your Height Only and The Impossible Kid, comes back to life on YouTube. It’s a classic example of the read/write nature of the Web: at the same time YouTube is huge in the Philippines, Filipinos are huge on YouTube.

Eat your heart out, Verne Troyer.

Challenge of the Super-Duper Friends Preview

Filipino comic book creator Jonas Diego presents a preview of Challenge of the Super-Duper Friends, a parody of American politics based on the Saturday morning cartoon Challenge of the Super-Friends.

It’s hilariously goofy and bitingly accurate at the same time. Yes, America, this is how Filipinos see your leaders. Enjoy.
