Bad taste jokes at Yes FM Love Radio

It’s lunch hour and you’re trying to enjoy the only refuge you have from the ravages of work for the next five hours. But the radio at the fastfood joint is blaring, at full volume, audio from FM station 101.1 Yes FM. And the silly, helium-voiced DJ keeps on blabbering those green jokes and you think, WTF, there are kids here! Those jokes don’t seem to appropriate for the general audience!

Update: I stand corrected. The radio station is actually Love Radio, and not Yes FM. But still, it can’t be denied that there are also other erring stations. Check out the comment thread below.

Or perhaps you’re in a cab with your grade-school aged daughter. Or perhaps you’re in your car and a jeepney passes you, ‘woofers at full throttle. Or perhaps you’re at home, station-surfing for that new, popular song you just love (and maybe LSSing on).

One time or another, we Metro Manilans are bound to have our ears pestered by this radio characted called “kukurukuku.” Not only are the jokes super corny, they’re not even fit for general patronage. And what’s ironic is, the station is being marketed for a mass audience (read: masa), but the content doesn’t seem fit for the airwaves.

And it gets really bad especially since this is the radio station of choice of about 99.9% of public-utility-vehicle drivers.

I think the regulatory bodies should have a word with the station’s producers.

And the playlist–well, that’s worthy of yet another lengthy blog post.

Kailangan pa bang i-memorize yan?

    Yes, you can always turn off the radio; get off the public utility vehicles; or better yet watch tv. But if the people rate 90.7 as no. 1 in FM stations, respect the opinion of the majority. After all, who cares about your opinion. You do not own “our” radios; you do not pay for our electric bills; you do not advertise in that station. You know, I like Nicole and Chris.

    Pare, titulado rin akong tao and have labored for more than a decade in college for titles few people have but I do not denigrate anyone because of his preference. After all, what makes me happy is good for me quesehodang jologs ako. Being sophisticated never adds color in my life anyway.

    Filipinos are hypocrite! Im also a Filipino but thats a fact.No one can disagree to that!As a filipino I must accept that! Dont you ask yourself why is it that if you communicate to someone and youre talking about our genital organ or about sex we cannot translate the words in our own language…we use Euphimism/english word or scientific word. and if we hear the double meaning jokes in fm we are thinking that its a bad.why?but if it is in english manner like if you listen to 89.9 its okay!but in Love radio, you questioned!!!what a hypocrite manner!cant we be a professional Filipino in our own language..I am a masscom practicioners and Im wishin’ that please open your mind as long as you are not immoral!!!

  3. I actually like this station, Love Radio. I’m sorry if many feel that they are insulted or offended in any way by “bad stations” but think of it this way, these “bad stations” are still on the air. That only means there is actual support for it. True, radio stations must respect the sensitivities of people who are offended but how about the sensitivities of other people who are not offended and actually enjoy these stations. When you call these stations “bad” you’re already implying that the people who listen to them have bad taste. It is important to note that those who enjoy listening to these radio stations are the majority of the people, who might be “masa” or otherwise. I am more sorry for you people who can’t and perceive more than themselves. Besides if its really that bad, why not just turn off the radio or change frequency? There are less people here defending maybe because most people have harder problems in life than just the green jokes they hear and these people (those with harder problems) don’t have the luxury of time to rant about in their blogs.

  4. “Filipinos are hypocrite! Im also a Filipino but thats a fact.” LOL you just called YOURSELF a hypocrite.

    “I am a masscom practicioners” … no comment na ako dyan.

    Reading your post made my brain bleed. :\ Where did you get your mass com degree? Sisiguraduhin kong hindi ko ipapadala doon ang anak ko.

  5. hey man, no offense, but you’re problem is as petty as those microbes found in your body, or maybe even smaller.

    i mean, what do you care if those jokes are corny? i mean, its not their fault if they can’t deliver such prestigious jokes that level to your almighty-brain.

    you act to smart for your own good. you shouldn’t be called a Filipino you hypocrite!

    go take your brain someplace else where people all have heart as hard as rocks.

    that’s reality man, even if it doesn’t come from that station, kids are already exposed to those “green things”. kids can surf the internet and be exposed to those things for free, and an even worse image is given than those jokes by the radio’s broadcasters.

    lalng. hehe.

  6. haha joke lang.:D

  10. Sa mga against sa Love Radio 90.7, Sinasabi nyo na ang pangit and bad taste ang mga jokes ng station. Hellooooo…mga kill joy lng kayo ang madudumi ang utak. When I was in Manila, marami ng mga FM Station ang gumagawa sa mga style ng jokes ng Love Radio lalong lalo na ang iFM na ang mga jokes ay walang kasense-sense. May mga kanya-kanya tayong paniniwala sa mga bagay-bagay at kung sinasabi nyong ayaw nyo sa Love Radio eh wag kayong makinig! very easy di ba?

    Mga critics na naiingit…keep your mouth shut up!

  11. the reason i’ve stopped listening to radio stations (except nu107) and just bought myself an mp3 player is to be spared from the irritatingly corny and unbelievably stupid jokes and remarks, which is sometimes unavoidably imposed upon me from the wrecked speakers of jeepneys on my ride home, from kukurukuku who, in my opinion, should be shot dead! anyone who patronizes that retarded midget (i imagine ‘it’ to be one) should also be shot dead because they obviously live such boring lives that kukurukuku’s beyond-bad-taste jokes has become the highlight of their sad and pathetic existence (like you, ryan montilla!)…

  12. Stupid people says:

    Hey…just wanna comment…dont be too stupid to publish this nonsense on the net…Are you a priest or sumone religous? Hello???? come on…Wag kaung makinig anu ba???!!!

    STUPID PEOPLE!!!

  13. wag na kayong mag way para lahat masaya

  14. seems like a lot of you have so much 2 complain about the station,but hey,y r u all listening 2 it?…its ur choice if u wanna listen to oit,der!,just spending time posting all of ur complains?think about it…turn ur bloody radio off and lock urself in the bathroom!

  15. ipokrita tawag sa inyo,well may choice kau kng gus2 nyo o hinde,y the hell would u listen if u dont like the damn radio station?what a bunch of idiots!makinig na lng kau s AM kay kuya cesar ull probably enjoy better!

  17. I stumbled on this thread dahil nakikinig ako ng Love Radio. Kayo ba? Nuff’s said about the topic actually, kung ayaw mo, wag mo. Nasabi na nila Warbaby at Jetza ang ibig kong ibahagi.

    I started tuning in to this station a month ago. I was just tired of listening to the same pop tunes or the same rock songs or the same crossover hits over and over… felt like I needed something different. Then this station was playing a Visayan song. It had a catchy melody but I couldn’t understand it. I needed to hear it again so I kept the station on. Also got hooked listening to Chris and Nicole… brainless entertainment!

    Still can’t find the title and the artist for that song I like. I deciphered the dialect though… really funny lyrics! Oozing with Filipino culture.

  18. Wala kang kwenta! Sa simbahan ka na lang tumira, puro ka reklamo! Wag mo maliitin mga maliliit na tao. Wag ka mgpa-conio HOY!!! Mabaho rin tae mo! Kukurukuku… Hindi mo alam marami tao napapasaya nila tapos ganyan ka. Sana karmahin ka!

    Ako ay palaging nakikinig sa 91.1 Love Radio, sa Tacloban, Leyte. Maganda ko ang mga style nila sa pag-entertain ng mga listeners ng radio station. Hindi naman “bad taste” yung mga jokes nila, dahil ito ay isa sa mga kanilang munting pamamaraan para lang mawala ang mga problema ng mga nakikinig sa kanila, kung meron man sila. Ang Love Radio ay isang magandang radio na No. 1 sa amin doon sa Tacloban!

    Kailangan pa bang i-memorize yan? Bisyo na ‘to! No.1!

  20. OO nga, maraming hipokrito dito na kunyari naiirita pero deep inside natatawa. Kape kape nga jan.

  21. lahat ng tao ay may karapatang makinig sa kung anu mang programang kanyang naisin at tama lang na maging concern ka sa mga batang maaaring nakakarinig ng kanilang “corny at “green” jokes” pero sana naman ay ipaglaban mo din ang karapatan ng mga nasa radyo dahil ito ay nakalahad na karapatang pang tao na ipahayag ang kanyang ninanais.. maraming nagbuwis ng kanilang buhay sa karapatang ito at kailangan mo pang ireklamo ito sa regulatory board…. tulad mo napapahayag mo ng malaya ang iyong nasa isip…dba ang sarap ng pakiramdam? so wag ka sanang maging IMPOKRITA

  22. paki tugtug naman ang paborito ko buong buhay ko,langit ayong tabi at paano na kaya.

    Baliw Radio isigaw mo pare, Baliw Radio ang papangit nyo, Baliw Radio isigaw mo pare, Baliw Radio urangutan ang mayari sa inyo, kaya nga kayo nasa radio dahil pangit kayo, kailangan pa bang i memorize yannnnn….

  24. i commute everyday, almost every single PUV out there listens to this kind of radio programming. I agree it is annoying, let’s just hope someday the government sees the implications done by these wayward,profound,ridiculous,groutesque,and english degrading programs. for now if you are like me, a commuter who also can’t stand what they hear in the PUV, I suggest you buy an Mp3 player or an Ipod, plug your ears, and set the volume on full! like the previous posts says, don’t listen to it you don’t want to. just pretend it’s nothing but noise

  27. I agree, minsan dina nakakatuwa ang mga jokes sa mga radio stations. Specially pag nasa long family trip madalas naka tuned in lang sa mga FM stations along with the kids. Kami we always tune in sa YES! FM 101.1. We even support and vote for it at http://www.pinoytop10.com as Pinoy’s Favorite FM Station.

  30. Yes! I agree with this opinion. I dont like radio stations like Love, YES, 101.9, Magic, LS, IFM because:

    1. They played songs that can distract the persons who sleep especially children.

    2. They play hip-hop music which I dont like.

    3. They have “noisy’ DJ’s and greenish jokes.

    For me, my favorite radio stations are:

    97dot9 Home Radio
    105.1 Crossover
    92.3 XFM
    106.7 Dream FM.
    But my most favorite station is home radio because they dont have DJ’s, they only have a voice over. She did not play greenish jokes, but awesome and interesting trivia and Home Radio airs pleasing music that cant distract children who is sleeping.

    Thank you. by: Paul Adrian Samarita

  31. I hope Love Radio and YES FM will abolished or I hope they will change their format.

  32. you cant talk to their producers since this dead clowns in the airwaves is as bugok as the idiots they employ. piling nila maraming gaya nila na sumusuporta at nakikinig sa kanila, mga utak kabute.

  33. the fallen angel says:

    to those who listen and continue to support this kind of radio format, you may see me as another meddling jerk, but I hope you guys won’t blame the government two to three decades later if this country’s literacy rate drops to 60%, because media like this is one of the main reasons kids get all of this junk fed into their heads! you people will realize this long after this day!! I will only laugh the day I see it happen!!

  34. try nyo to listen sa other station n inglisero ganun din naman cla mga corny at green jokes or baka d nyo napupuna kc nag iinglish sila hehehehhe…yung iba nga may nag huhubad pa sa station nila at on air mismo pinapaalam n nag huhubad ang isang starlet n fok2 sa station nila..oh bat d kayo nag rereklamo…ay uu nga pala….NAG IINGLISH CLA at d nyo maintindihan…nakikinig din ako sa Monster or sa LS or sa Magic..meron cla corny at green jokes..perobat d nya napupuna…ay oo nga pala KC INGLISH… BAng…..

  35. TANGINA!! kung madali lang magtakip ng tenga gaya ng pagpikit ginawa ko na. Nakakairita talaga yung mga hayop na DJ na doon sa Love. Ang hilig pa nila magpatugtog ng mga tagalized version songs at yung may “lyrics na magmahal ng bakla” TANGINA talaga!
    Meron kasing jologs na naglilipat ng sa station nayon dito sa office. Nakakairita!! Ang hirap magtrabaho. Buti na lang may IPod ako pag nasa bus or jeep. Sana mawala na yung lintek na radio station na yan.

  36. Radio Listener says:

    Actually, it is not Love Radio that has those green jokes and punch lines. Yes FM is the most green national radio station in the country. Love Radio is nothing compared to the inconsiderate, rude, and unprofessional behaviors of Yes FM’s DJs. One of those DJs is my friend. I would say that he is the most considerate DJ there, but as a whole, Yes FM has a very unwholesome atmosphere. I love the way Bruno, Brownie, and Beauty deliver their jokes, though; they’re the best. I agree that radio stations that are not wholesome should not be used for public places like restos, fast food chains, and even public utility vehicles. But having corny jokes is not objectionable; it’s up to you to listen and appreciate…or not.

  37. kahit kelan ayoko talaga ng mga ganyang “jologs” stations kasi talagang panira ng araw at tadtad ng green jokes, at ang masama pa doon sila din mismo ang dahilan kung bakit nagiging outdated ang opm songs sa walang kamatayang pagpapatugtog nila ng mga kanta ng air supply at sexbomb…sa mga tinatamaan at nasasaktan diyang mga listener ng mga jologs station…hindi kami nagdidiscriminate ng social status… nasa class c lng din ako ng society pero hahayaan niyo na lang ba na mabrainswashed kayo ng mga station na nagpla-play dumb sa ere??? hindi niyo kasi naiisip un, tignan natin after 5 years kung ano mangyari sa mga batang na-eexposed sa bastos fm

  38. STUPID JOKES are good enough for STUPID PEOPLES, nuff said.

  39. pangit joke ng love radio…
