If Red Ollero's first special on Netflix doesn't have the most consistent laughs or the most original punchlines to make, it still serves as a good introduction for users of the platform to crass, everyday Filipino humor. Whether due to editing or Ollero's writing itself, there are a number of times during his set when he stays on a topic for far too long without adding much insight to it or building on things he's already said. But as the special goes on, there's still something to be taken from how Ollero treats the mundane with an almost hyperfixation. Intentionally or not, he sketches out an absurd view of ordinary life in the Philippines with the self-assurance of someone who doesn't care whether you're grossed out or not.

Ollero's sudden turn to talking about religion towards the end of his special may at first seem jarring, but even its placement here feels smart and considered. It's almost like a tongue-in-cheek appeal for forgiveness from whichever god is watching, or a reminder that all these crass things are still being said in a highly conservative, predominantly Catholic nation. But the idea that a Filipino can be (irreverently) respectful to their religion while also being sex-positive, baffled by the world around them, and extremely annoyed about some poop they've stepped on—all at the same time.
