People who do not know of the power of Boy Pick Up (of Bubble Gang) must be living under a rock.
Indeed, nonsensical concepts + out of this world humor + immense popularity can be equated to national fandom.
Boy Pick Up, another character of Ogie Alcasid, has been known for his parody of cheesy tagalog pick up lines.
The aforementioned character borders on the thin line of being a thug and retardation. A bit on the retarded side, perhaps.
Here is one episode of Boy Pick Up:

That’s the very sense of the word nonsensical right there, eh? But it floats our boat, undeniably.
This stint of Ogie Alcasid and Co. must have sprung out from the equally cheesy pick up lines from the hit movie of John Lloyd Cruz and Toni Gonzaga, My Amnesia Girl which later on evolved into an internet craze.
Here are some tagalog pick-up lines which I deem appropriate for the hopeless romantic nerdos: (pick up lines lifted from all over the internet)
sana holdaper ka na lang… para “ibibigay ko sayo lahat, wag mo lang akong sasaktan..”
Kaw ba c Jolibee? Kasi I love u sabado, kahit buong linggo.
Lotto kba? kse hangang ngaun umaasa paden ako sau
SANA KAAWAY NALANG KiiTA .. (BAKiiT ?) PARA PATULAN MO AKO ..
Para Kang JOKE, kahit KORNY,,,,, napapaSAYA mo ako
ihi kba?kinikilig kz ako tuwing lumalabas ka
(like the Facebook page of Kwentong Pag-ibig to receive daily doses of cheesy banats)
Here is a Boy Pick Up sampler in one episode of Bubble Gang:
Boy Pickup: Sugar ka ba?
Girl: bakit?
Boy Pickup: Kasi Kilala ko si ELMER!
Girl: Sino si ELMER?
Boy Pickup: Kaklase ko nung grade 4…

Mind you, this kind of humor is bought by Pinoys of transcending ages.
Such is the shallow happiness of Pinoys. But happiness, no matter the depth, is never wrong right?
Really, these quotes have the power of entertaining people in one way or the other (myself included).
This kind of shallow, slapstick humor has the ability to make hapless people like me get through the rainiest of days.
Salamat Boy Pik Ap! 🙂
