Finding humour in political affairs
The Briefly News team caught up with comedian Ongie to find out more about how she executed Fadiel Adams’ skit. We asked how she decides which parliamentary moments are perfect for a skit. She responded:
“My decision on which parliamentary moment is perfect for a skit is usually based on the information witnesses provide. I’ve noticed that witnesses often say or do silly things when they are withholding information, and it almost always turns into an embarrassing or outrageous moment.”
The team asked what the hardest part was about mimicking Fadiel’s impression, if any. She shared:
“I watched that Ad Hoc Committee testimony by Fadiel Adams and noticed that he would often speak over MPs who were not praising him. Mimicking that is difficult because sometimes you genuinely can’t hear what they were saying — and then there’s the sudden change in tone and mood.”
When asked if viewers can expect a follow-up video on recent developments concerning the parliamentarian, Ongie said:
“I’m following this case closely, and I will definitely do another skit as soon as my orange overalls package arrives.”
SA applauds rising comedic talent
The clip gained massive views and over 200 comments from social media users entertained by the creator's humour. Many viewers noted that she has a rare ability to capture a person's essence through simple gestures and tone, describing her as effortlessly hilarious. Others expressed that her content provides a much-needed break from the serious nature of current news. Amidst the laughter, other users called for her next act, advising her to do Fadiel’s arrest.
