Vice Ganda’s quick wit and over-the-top reactions are part of what makes "It’s Showtime" a daily comedy fix. And some of her funniest moments actually come when she zeroes in on the most unexpected topic—her co-hosts' armpits. Here are some of the best entries in what Kapamilya Update would like to call “Vice Ganda vs Kili-Kili” chronicles.
One time during the “Laro Laro Pick” segment, Vice dared Kim Chiu to raise her arm but only to realize it was a bad idea because, as she jokingly said, "Mas makinis pa sa mukha ko!"
It was a similar story with guest co-host Barbie Forteza during one “Karaokids” session. Vice pretended to be overwhelmed with emotion when Barbie raised her arm as she prepared to press the buzzer. "Mas maganda pa kaysa sa mukha ko," Vice said, acting annoyed.
Even when the "Tawag Ng Tanghalan" hurados were working from home during the pandemic, Vice put Angeline Quinto on the comedic hot seat by calling out the singer's fair underarm. But of course, she had to follow it up with a punchline, "Makinis talaga 'yan si Angeline pero may hadhad 'yan," to which Angeline clapped back, “Nakita kita may an-an."
In an older episode, Hashtags member Ronnie Alonte was so pumped about his team’s win during the “Singing Mo To” segment that he jumped with his arms in the air, giving Vice a perfect view of his flawless pits. She only had one word—“nakakabuwisit”—when she noticed Ronnie's smooth underarm peeking out from his sleeveless top.
And who could forget the playful exchange between Anne Curtis and Vice Ganda about dark armpits? Anne teased Vice with, “Kili-kili mo, maitim.” But when jestingly confronted about it, Anne quickly backpedaled and insisted that Vice must have just misheard her statement, leading to a funny 'bardagulan.'
