BUBBLE Gang Anniversary

BUBBLE Gang will marks the 16th anniversary - Original run October 20, 1995 – 2011.

Bubble Gang is a sketch comedy television show in the Philippines. It airs every Friday evenings by GMA Network. The show is part of the network's GMA KiliTV block. Currently, it is now the longest-running gag show in Philippine television. The TV program is known for their parodies of TV commercials, politicians and current events.The show used to be one-week delayed on GMA Pinoy TV but has "caught up" and is up-to-date as of 2011.

Bubble Gang first aired on GMA Network on October 20, 1995 as a counterpart to the ABC's gag show Tropang Trumpo. The show occupied the Friday night timeslot of the now-defunct musical variety show "Vilma!". Two of its first cast members; Ogie Alcasid and Michael V. came from that show.

GMA hired two talents from ace talent manager, Douglas Quijano, Wendell Ramos and Antonio Aquitania who is one of the first netflix of comedy television show with Alcasid and Michael V. on their early days. During its first year, it was shown around 7:00 in the evening and carried a slogan "Bubble Gang: Just chew it!"

The show gained popularity when it introduced a segment called Myusik Tagalog Bersyon (MTB) and Music English Version (MEV) in 1996. In later months of 1998, Bubble Gang came up with an idea to spoof a religious program, Ang Dating Daan into Ang Dating Doon. They originally intended to quote the Bible, but because of religious sensitivities, they just decided to quote English fairy tales and Tagalog nursery rhymes and make fun of it.
