(SPOT.ph) Filipino humor on social media is… something else. One day we're hijacking the comment section of Harvard University, the next we're confirming our attendance to a Facebook event called “I-reto si Burger King kay Dairy Queen.” The possibilities are endless.
You’ve seen those Facebook events. You might have even clicked on “interested” or “going” if they successully made you blow air out of your nose. Making a mockery out of Facebook events isn’t new, but the trend seems to have resurfaced this April. Here's why.
Why are Facebook events popping up right now?
You might recall the infamous Suntukan sa Ace Hardware—the mother of all Facebook events in 2016. Well, the viral event had recently celebrated its 8th anniversary last week on April 15, which is likely what reignited Filipino’s yearning for more memery.
The event became so widespread on Facebook that Ace Hardware Philippines had to issue a statement clarifying to the public that “no such event was organized” by the store. Since then, we can't seem to shake off that ridiculous Facebook event-shaped hole in our hearts.
Suntukan sa Ace Hardware set the bar pretty high, but the ones we included below come pretty darn close.

(Just in case the jokes go over anyone’s head: All of these Facebook events are fictional—no matter how realistic the event organizer makes it seem—so please don’t actually show up.)
