Philippine Reference Alert

If you are like me, every time a foreigner makes a reference to the Philippines, you become very alert and interested. It doesn't matter if the reference is made in bad taste or if we are being rightfully extolled, but just hearing these guys utter the word Philippines or Filipino has the effect of five shots of espresso.

So imagine my amusement when watching some deleted scenes on a Family Guy DVD I get to a clip where I hear Stewie speak Tagalog. The scene involved Bryan's gay cousin Jasper apparently getting married to a Filipino. During the ceremony, Ricardo, the Filipino, whispers to the football-headed Stewie.

Ricardo: Baby, anong nangyayari dito? (Little baby, what is happening here?)
Stewie: Hindi mo ba alam, ikakasal ka sa kanya. (You don't know? You're marrying him.)
Ricardo: Ano? Kalokohan lang yan. Nakakatuwa ka, baby. (Ha! That's crazy. You're a funny little baby.)
Stewie: Yeah I'm funny... enjoy your wedding night.

Earlier in the episode, the gay dog cries "I cant believe the wedding’s off, all I ever wanted was to get married and make a home with a skinny hairless filipino boy, isnt that the American dream?”

Hehehe.

Here's the clip:

And while you're at it, why don't you listen to Britney Spears's "Piece of Me" in which she sings about sneaking away to the Philippines. You'd like that, wouldn't you? Britney in Pinas and doing another Claire Danes.

"A cockroach! I saw one! No, not in the pictures or on a TV show! Fucking real live cockroach! In my room! And I survived! I can do anything now! I am redeemed! Gimme back my fucking babies!"
