Iconic Filipino comedian and performance artist, Michael V, has taken a hilarious and brutally honest jab at what many netizens call Cringey Outrage Bad Influencers (COBI) in the Philippines with his latest song, “Oh Wow! By Hilaw.”

The comedic rendition, a parody of the popular song “Uhaw” by Dilaw, has taken the internet by storm, amassing over 240,000 views and 2,000 comments on YouTube within a mere 15 hours of its release.

Taking on the modern-day social media influencers, Michael V’s uproarious song has ignited a wildfire of excitement among netizens. On Facebook, the comedy version has become an instant sensation, accumulating an astonishing 1.8 million views and 186,000 likes. Clearly, the Filipino audience couldn’t resist the temptation of laughing along with this side-splitting take on the influencer culture.

Michael V’s latest parody song fearlessly takes a diss or swipe at certain individuals who fall into the category of toxic and cringey social media influencers and content creators. As netizens listen to the witty lyrics, they find themselves nodding in agreement, as Michael V fearlessly tackles the shallowness and clout-chasing mentality of today’s young Filipinos’ idolized influencers. In contrast to the contentious rap songs released by the following talentless content creators- returning actor Carlos Agassi, blogger-turned-actress Toni Fowler, and vlogger/self-proclaimed CEO Rosmar- Michael V’s song stands out as a refreshing and humorous critique of the online influencer frenzy.

“Michael V’s parody song is many times better than Carlos Agassi, Toni Fowler, and Rosmas’s cringey rap songs,” some netizens commented.

The song commences with these biting lines, “Sa pic niya ‘di halatang may ‘something’ siya pero ‘di ko alam kaya fi-nollow ko lang, kayo fi-nollow ko lang. May Ilan naman siyang likes may mga tag din ng barkada, may talent kayo, pero wala lang laman,” leaving no room for misunderstanding the lack of depth in some content creators.

Then, Michael V proceeds with his comic genius, “Kahit di kayo pinilit, kahit na pangit puwede na ‘tong ipo-po-po-po-post, po-po-po-po-post…” before reaching the catchy refrain, “Eh di oh wow, eh di ikaw, trending ka now. Di aayaw, kahit and, kahit sabaw. Ang babaw ng pananaw, cola pa dito, penge naman ng followers mo. Ang masasabi ko lang, oh wow, oh wow!”

The comedian cunningly manages to sneakily reference outrage ‘motivational influencer’ Rendon Labador, whose content often raises eyebrows for its controversial yet shallow nature. The song hilariously captures the essence of these influencers who thrive on mindless pranks and click-bait posts.

Netizens were quick to express their delight and admiration for Michael V’s brilliant wit. “Bitoy just dropped a diss track disguised as a parody. Genius level!” one netizen commented, recognizing the comedic brilliance of the seasoned artist.

Not shying away from calling out specific influencers, many netizens tagged controversial vloggers and content creators who perfectly fit the bill of Michael V’s biting message. The song brilliantly continues, “Mag-react sa viral video ko walang effort content na ‘tong pangpo-po-po-po-post, po-po-po-po-post. Eh ‘di oh wow, eh ‘di ikaw, trending ka now. ‘Di aayaw, kahit ano, kahit sabaw…”

Netizens couldn’t help but applaud Michael V for hitting the nail on the head with his witty and on-point parody. “You nailed it,” many netizens chimed in, showing their overwhelming agreement with the message of the song.
