Parodies

Before and after the show's duration a "disclaimer" was presented "a la Star Wars opening credits" stating that the spoofs were taken from television shows, commercials, and movies with permission, ending up as the show's tagline: "Walang pikunan, ispup onli."

Lucky Me, a popular noodle brand, and Gilbey's Gin also sponsored spoof portions of this program with permission. As a result of growing popularity, Gilbey's Gin and Ispup made a promo for the best Gilbey's spoof in 2002.
