Dabarkad

Stupid fanbase, that feels like a cult, comprised of middle-old aged Filipinos who watch EatBulaga and criticizes Its Showtime, the best tv show ever (as well as its fanbase, the Showtimers), and call that show woke and EB "superior". Here's what they are:
- Watches EB since at least 1980
- Thinks EB is still funny
- Disrespects the Showtimers
- Treats the hosts of EB like the fucking Messiah
- Social media mostly on Twitter and YouTube
- Usually hates Anjo Yllana
- Calls Vic Sotto "BOSSING" and screams that word every time they meet him for the first time

Showtimer: I love Its Showtime, its the best show ever made

Dabarkad: Dont you dare say that! EatBulaga is the best show!
Showtimer: EatBulaga is so unfunny, it hasnt been funny since 1994, the jokes are dated, and the camera angles look old
Dabarkad: EatBulaga is the funniest show ever how dare you have you even seen a single episode???
Showtimer: Nope, youre wrong
Dabarkad: Fuck off
