Caught in the Act: Snapchat Sins of Alley Bardfield — From Classroom to Courtroom

In the latest chapter of “Celebrities Doing Internet Things and the World Losing Its Mind,” Vice Ganda and Regine Velasquez have officially entered meme royalty status after serving their own chaotic, laugh-out-loud interpretation of the viral “Jet 2 Holiday” meme.

Yes, the same meme your cousin wouldn’t stop posting last Christmas, the one your office group chat still uses to roast Brenda from accounting, has now been taken hostage by two of the Philippines’ biggest stars — and the result is equal parts comedy gold and pure internet chaos.

Reports say the performance was so unhinged that one fan allegedly “spilled their entire milk tea in shock,” while another claims their mother “replayed it so many times she accidentally deleted her banking app. ”

Welcome to 2025, where a meme about discount flights somehow overshadows global politics.

For those blissfully unaware of what a “Jet 2 Holiday” meme is, congratulations — you’ve probably been spending your time doing productive things like reading books or learning a new skill.

But for the rest of us who live knee-deep in the digital swamp, you already know: it’s that exaggerated, sing-song, slightly manic parody of a budget airline commercial, originally meant to poke fun at painfully cheerful vacation ads.

Now imagine Vice Ganda and Regine Velasquez — one known for unapologetic sass, the other for hitting notes so high they make glassware nervous — teaming up to bring it to life.

Spoiler: it was campy, it was chaotic, and it was loud.

Like, “turn your volume down before you lose a speaker” loud.

The moment went down during a variety show segment, when Vice sauntered in wearing a bright red “flight attendant-meets-Drag Race” ensemble while Regine appeared in an aggressively sequined gown that looked like it had swallowed a disco ball whole.

The two then launched into a duet-slash-mock commercial, complete with exaggerated jazz hands, over-the-top grins, and facial expressions that screamed, “This is either satire or a mental breakdown — you decide. ”

The audience ate it up, screaming, laughing, and recording on their phones like the rent depended on it.

Within hours, clips were plastered across TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, and the mysterious Facebook Marketplace listings where someone is definitely selling “Vice Ganda Jet 2 Holiday cosplay kits” for ₱500.

Naturally, the internet had thoughts.

Die-hard fans hailed it as “art,” “a cultural reset,” and “proof that the Philippines needs to host Eurovision immediately. ”

One particularly emotional comment read, “Vice and Regine just cured my seasonal depression and my lactose intolerance in one performance. ”

But not everyone was on board.

The Serious Internet People™ (you know the type — the ones who write 17-paragraph essays in Facebook comments) complained that the bit was “unprofessional” and “a disgrace to serious musical performance. ”

One critic dramatically declared, “This is the downfall of Philippine entertainment,” as if two celebrities having fun on stage were somehow responsible for the country’s GDP.

Even Regine herself seemed tickled by the backlash.

In an Instagram story, she reposted a particularly salty comment alongside the caption: “Don’t worry, next time we’ll do it in Latin with a live orchestra. ”

Vice, on the other hand, simply tweeted: “It’s called camp, Google it,” followed by a gif of someone throwing glitter into the air like they just ended a toxic relationship.

Fake “experts” have now entered the discourse, because of course they have.

Dr. Floro Bautista, who we’re 90% sure is not a real doctor but has an excellent Twitter presence, claimed, “The ‘Jet 2 Holiday’ performance marks the beginning of the post-ironic meme era in Philippine pop culture.

This is no longer about humor — this is about ascension. ”

Meanwhile, a self-proclaimed “Meme Anthropologist” from Quezon City argued, “This is proof that memes have fully colonized traditional media.

Soon, the news will just be weather reports delivered in TikTok dances. ”

Some conspiracy theorists (because every viral moment needs a conspiracy theory) are now convinced the performance was actually a coded message.

According to one Facebook thread with suspiciously blurry screenshots, Vice’s hand gestures “spelled out” a secret political statement, while Regine’s high note at 2:17 “perfectly matched the frequency of a local mall elevator announcement. ”

Others claim the duo might actually be sponsored by Jet2 Holidays itself, despite the airline having zero operations in the Philippines and absolutely no reason to be involved.

But hey, when has logic ever stopped the internet?

Of course, no meme moment is complete without celebrity reactions.

Lea Salonga reportedly texted “WTF did I just watch?” to a mutual friend, while Anne Curtis commented with a single airplane emoji on Instagram, which instantly sparked 4,000 replies debating whether she was supportive or subtly throwing shade.

50 Cent — yes, the American rapper — even chimed in after someone tagged him, posting: “I don’t know what’s going on but I’m here for it,” accompanied by three crying-laughing emojis and a stock photo of an airplane.

The merch machine has already kicked into overdrive.

Bootleg “Vice & Regine Holiday Airlines” T-shirts are popping up on Shopee, with one particularly cursed design showing the two flying a cartoon plane while being chased by giant meme fonts.

Fan edits have transformed the performance into everything from K-drama trailers to fake Netflix docuseries promos.

One edit, ominously titled Turbulence: The Meme That Shook a Nation, has already racked up half a million views in two days.

Meanwhile, the OG “Jet 2 Holiday” meme creators overseas have reacted with delighted confusion.

One of them tweeted, “We have no idea what’s happening in the Philippines right now, but apparently our meme is now a musical?” The airline itself has yet to comment, but given the sudden spike in their Google search stats from the Philippines, they’re probably not complaining.

Still, the biggest winner in all this might be the audience members lucky enough to witness it live.

One woman who attended claimed she’s already selling her phone’s recording for ₱5,000 to “serious collectors of cultural artifacts. ”

Another man swore he hasn’t stopped humming the tune since, much to the annoyance of his coworkers.

“If I hear ‘Jet 2 Holiday’ one more time,” one of them told reporters, “I’m filing for noise-induced trauma. ”

Whether you loved it, hated it, or just watched it on loop while wondering what the hell you were doing with your life, one thing’s clear: Vice Ganda and Regine Velasquez just proved that in the age of the internet, you don’t need a Grammy, a blockbuster, or even an actual plot to make history — you just need a meme, a stage, and the kind of confidence that says, “Yes, I will scream-sing a budget airline slogan in a sequin gown, and the world will watch. ”

And watch we did.

Loudly.

Obsessively.

Possibly too much.

If the pattern holds, this won’t be the last time celebrities hijack our collective attention span for meme content.

In fact, insiders whisper that Vice and Regine are already plotting their next move — possibly a full-length parody concert where every song is based on a viral TikTok sound.

Whether that’s true or just another fever dream from the internet’s chaotic imagination, we’ll be here, refreshing our feeds, ready for takeoff.

Because in 2025, the line between pop culture and memes doesn’t just blur — it gets bedazzled, covered in sequins, and belted at a high note that can be heard from space.

And if you think that’s ridiculous, buckle up.

The next “Jet 2 Holiday” moment is already boarding.
