Moymoy Palaboy

Best known for their lip-sync parodies set to popular music, Moymoy Palaboy is a Filipino musical comedy duo comprised of two brothers--James Ronald and Rodfil Macasero, also known by their stage names Moymoy and Roadfill respectively.

Their career started in 2007 when they uploaded videos of themselves on YouTube in front of a webcam or in some cases a cellphone camera, lip-syncing to popular music in a comedic, exaggerated manner, with their aunt Benny "Mama Auntie" Obeso seen in the background on occasion. ("Mama Auntie" has been taking care of the Macasero brothers since their mother passed away from breast cancer prior to starting their career) Their on-screen antics, helped by the fact that their channel garnered over 5 million hits and 554,000 subscribers, attracted the attention of GMA Network, where they are now signed as contract artists. The duo has since collaborated with prominent Filipino celebrities who also joined in on the fun with their lip-sync parodies.

Besides lip-syncing, they have also done covers of popular music as well as sketch comedy routines parodying various local and international pop culture subjects. And while they are quite popular in their native Philippines, they have also attracted an international fan base, mainly from Hispanophone countries and in Russia, as evidenced by foreign-language comments on the videos praising or laughing with their performances.


 * Blackface: Done for laughs in a video parodying Gwyneth Paltrow's blog post where she made a dish using Datu Puti brand soy sauce. As to whether the duo would be able to pull off such a gag again especially in light of civil rights protests and racism controversies during the late 2010s and 2020s is anyone's guess.
 * Christmas Episode: "Merry Christmas!" and the "Brr!" commercial they made for Coca-Cola.
 * Drugs Are Bad: As stated in a disclaimer in their music video for "Rugby Boy", a parody of Aqua's "Barbie Girl". While the parody's subject matter is about inhalant abuse and the groups of street children and youths who huff the titular Rugby (A popular brand of rubberised contact cement which gained notoriety for its toluene content), they wouldn't want to encourage people to do that sort of thing either.
 * Hong Kong Dub: More often than not, their lip sync videos are often done for comedic effect.
 * Song Parody: Being a comedy duo, this is pretty much their bread-and-butter.
