The Talk Show Host
Little Miss Oprah is usually accompanied by a clueless friend or date–the type who likes to ask, "Ano daw?" and "Ay, bakit ganoon?" The talk show host thinks so highly of himself that he feels the need to elaborate on the mind-boggling scenes of the movie. He thinks that he is the only one who got the subtly intelligent/witty/funny scenes, which is why he explains the gist out loud. It makes you want to snap back, "Dude, we GOT it. Thanks. Now, shut up."
Madam Auring
She can predict the future–the movie's sequence of events, that is. You will hear her utter, "Nandun sa likod mo!" and "Naku, mamamatay yan mamaya!" Yes, she's the only one who can see the obvious outcome of the cliché plot. Everyone in the theater has already figured out that the husband was cheating on his wife the whole time, but Madam Auring believes that she is the only one who saw it coming, hence the need to verbalize her eureka moment. Somebody please throw a crystal ball in her direction.
