In Philippine English, dogshow refers to satirically mocking a celebrity or any other famous person through memes or jokes. Dogshows are usually done by the fanbase of the celebrity that is being poked fun at. Dogshows do not intend to harm/ destroy the image of a famous person. Posting dogshows lead to further prominence of icons despite what seems to be bad publicity stunts.

Dog shows are events or contests for dogs to show their amusing tricks. Doing tricks is synonymous to playtime since both cause entertainment or fun. Being dogshowed means one is a source of jest. The slang has been existing for decades in underground gay communities as a term to nonsensically fooling people for fun.
