<p>Every season of “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/your-face-sounds-familiar" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u><em>Your Face Sounds Familiar</em></u></strong></a>” never fails to amaze us with incredible performances and transformations from our talented ka-Familiars---moments that give us goosebumps and spark conversations on social media.  </p><p>But beyond the breathtaking performances, the show wouldn’t be complete without the hilarious banters and funny moments from our performers, jurors, and hosts. Let’s look back at the highlights that brought laughter to our screens!</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Erik Santos visits… Erik Santos?</strong></div><p>Erik Santos makes a surprise visit to Jason Dy, but the catch is that Jason transforms into Erik Santos himself during the performance. In the episode, Jason is tasked to talk to Erik---while also portraying him. Being friends in real life makes their interaction even funnier, especially when Jason laughs just like him. The two performed a duet of Erik&#x27;s “Pagbigyang Muli,” bringing smiles to the audience. </p><div> </div><div><strong>Rufa Mae as Vice Ganda</strong></div><p>Dressed up as Vice Ganda, Rufa Mae brought out smiles and loud cheers with her first transformation this season. This makes it even funnier when Jason Dy as Erik Santos, her old acquaintance, interacts with her. Rufa Mae later on shares old anecdotes with Erik Santos. </p><div> </div><div><strong>Klarisse and Sharon show their signature ‘rampa’</strong></div><p>Transformed as Maymay Entrata, Dia Mate interacted with jurors Klarisse De Guzman and Sharon Cuneta in a fun challenge where they showcased their signature walks. Klarisse demonstrated her “klangot” walk, starting with a stride before acting like a basketball player. Meanwhile, Sharon presented her “tumbahin” walk, complete with a slow turn in between. </p><div> </div><div><strong>Rufa Mae as Cyndi Lauper</strong></div><p>Rufa Mae once again brought fun as she transformed into pop icon Cyndi Lauper. She not only performed but also delivered jokes, calling Jhong and Vhong “Langit at Lauper (lupa)” and quipping, “Ang lauper-t (lupet) ko.” She continued with more fun and entertaining banter with the hosts, making everyone in the studio burst into laughter. </p><div> </div><div><strong>Cyndi Lauper, Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, Jay-R, and Sam Smith at a party</strong></div><p>One of the things we love seeing is when our ka-Familiars dive into skits and banters that make us all laugh. One such moment was when Lady Gaga (Marielle Montellano), Bradley Cooper (JM Dela Cerna), Jay-R (Jarlo Base), Sam Smith (Jason Dy), and Cyndi Lauper (Rufa Mae Quinto), together with Klarisse, Jhong, and Vhong, joined in a lively party filled with hilarious exchanges. </p><div> </div><div><strong>Boy Pick-up visits “YFSF”</strong></div><p>Boy Pick-up, one of Ogie Alcasid’s most famous personas, paid a visit to the “YFSF” stage. He playfully threw a pick-up line at Rufa Mae, who transformed as Miley Cyrus, “Tsubibo ka ba?” Ogie asked, then ended the line with a funny, unrelated answer---true to his signature style. Rufa Mae responded with, “Hindi ko naintindihan,” which drew laughter from the audience. </p><div> </div><div><strong>Miley Cyrus asks for a piece of advice</strong></div><p>Another fun Miley Cyrus moment from Rufa Mae came when she asked Akira, transformed as Charlie Puth, for advice. But instead of a typical advice-seeking phone call, it turned into another fun scene---Rufa Mae pretended to call for an emergency rather than advice, playfully turning aggressive in between.<strong></strong></p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Ogie Alcasid shows his dance moves</strong></div><p>Judge Ogie shone in his own moment as he showcased his signature dance moves on the “YFSF” stage. He was joined by JM Dela Cerna, who transformed into Ogie himself. What began as a lighthearted performance turned hilarious when Vhong pointed out Ogie’s open fly. Ogie and JM later danced together, joined by the hosts, making the moment even more entertaining. </p><div> </div><div><strong>Rufa Mae as Moira Dela Torre</strong></div><p>Channeling Moira was no easy task for Rufa Mae, as she had to break away from her naturally funny self to embody the shy persona of Moira Dela Torre. Still, the transformation turned out to be entertaining as Rufa Mae bantered with the hosts and judges, admitting that she really couldn’t go through her day being serious. “Nung sinabi niyang ‘ako ang nauna,’ nauna talaga siya sa music,” Jhong teased, commenting on her performance. Rufa Mae later took on an acting challenge for good vibes, serving heartfelt expressions as Moira. </p><p>Part of the jurors’ job is to give comments on the performances of our ka-Familiars, but sometimes they can’t resist throwing playful banter---especially with Rufa Mae. While giving feedback, judge Klarisse joked that Rufa Mae’s vocals were so airy, like Moira’s, that she almost handed her a nebulizer. Judge Ogie praised Rufa Mae but later teased that he never really expected anything, yet she did well. He added that it was good she followed Klarisse’s instructions, though she went overboard and ended up looking like she was “naghihingalo.”</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Rufa Mae and Marko Rudio answer historical questions</strong></div><p>Guest performer Marko Rudio, as Yoyoy Villame, did not hold back in bantering with the hosts and Rufa Mae as Moira. When asked about Lapu-Lapu’s surname, the two gave witty answers---Marko replied “Dela Cerna,” referencing ka-Familiar JM Dela Cerna, while Rufa Mae gave something related to Magellan.  </p><p>In another history-themed question, they were asked what “KKK” means. Marko answered, “Kataas-taasan, Kagalang-galangan, Ka-gwapuhan,” while Rufa Mae quipped, “Go, go, go! KKK!”---a nod to her signature expressions. Finally, when asked about Jose Rizal’s birthplace, Marko correctly answered Calamba, Laguna. Rufa Mae, however, disagreed and jokingly quipped a funny answer, “Sa hospital.”</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Rufa Mae and Dia Mate as beauty queens</strong></div><p>Rufa Mae as Jessi and Dia Mate as Michelle Dee answered a question like true beauty queens. Dia showcased her pageant skills, while Rufa Mae embraced her comedy queen persona, declaring, “My confidence is coincidence,” which earned big laughs from everyone in the studio.  </p><p>She was then asked, “Anong klaseng aso ang gusto mong magbantay sa bahay mo, ‘yung paos o bungal at bakit?” Rufa Mae delivered a witty reply, “I believe the aso should be bungal, so no ngalngal and angal… and no toothbrush,” leaving the audience in stitches. </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Rufa Mae as Mercy of Aegis</strong></div><p>Saying she got carried away with her performance of “Christmas Bonus,” Rufa Mae shared laughter as she transformed into Mercy of Aegis. At one point, she admitted to murmuring the lyrics, explaining that the audience had stood up to jam with her and accidentally blocked the prompter showing the song lines.</p><p>It was truly a season of fun on “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/your-face-sounds-familiar" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u><em>Your Face Sounds Familiar</em></u></strong></a>,” and it’s always a joy to look back at the hilarious moments that lit up our screens and brought smiles to our faces.</p><p>Catch more funny moments on “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/your-face-sounds-familiar" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u><em>Your Face Sounds Familiar</em></u></strong></a>&quot; every weekend night on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), A2Z, and <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>iWant</u></strong></a>!</p>
