Exclusive - Foreign Youtubers Can't Handle the 'Hugot' From the Viral Jollibee Ads! Watch Their Reactions Here!

The Filipino fast-food chain giant Jollibee was trending all over social media during Valentine’s season with their popular ‘hugot’ advertisements. 

Filipino netizens reveled in the bliss and misery that comes with love, perfectly captured by the viral 'Kwentong Jollibee' commercials.

Apparently, even foreigners can’t escape the 'hugot' as popular YouTubers have shared their reactions for the advertisements as well.

Specifically, these American Youtube users shared their live reactions while streaming the Jollibee trilogy ads titled 'Date,' 'Vow' and 'Crush.'

HighKnucklesTV, a widely-popular channel hosted by American duo HighKnuckles and HottSamn, were just one of the many channels who shared their reactions to the bittersweet ads. 

While watching the 'Vow' commercial, the duo enjoyed the seemingly light-hearted story of how two people with similar orders met. However, they were completely stunned when the video's plot twist was revealed at the end. 

HighKnuckles said: “I had goosebumps and then it crushed me.” “How the hell can it do that to me?! I had – I never had goosebumps and then I immediately got smacked.”

His companion, HotSamn, was in tears and couldn’t believe the ending. Don’t worry, you two - anyone who watched 'Vow' felt the same way.

The mood was distinctly lighter when they viewed the 'Crush' commercial.

“I’ve never been emotional about a food commercial,” HighKnuckles said “This one was good. I’m so happy he got the girl.”

“This is a freaking commercial for a restaurant, for a Valentine’s Day commercial…It came from nowhere, [and] was not expecting this. Whoever is in charge of marketing is like next level…Hats off [and] I’m gonna take my hat off,” HighKnuckles said after viewing 'Date.'

Adobo Sandwich, another YouTube channel run by a Fil-Am guy and his American girlfriend, were also hooked by the viral commercials. They were especially emotional after the climax of 'Vow'.

However, just like Adobo Sandwich, Achilles was completely wrecked by 'Vow'.

“She’s not getting… No no no! He got friend-zoned!?” he said, visibly shocked with his mouth open and tears in his eyes.

Many other popular YouTubers were enamored by Jollibee’s ‘hugot’ videos; such as Josh Dove, Angelina Eonni88 and Indonesian channel Iklan Super Sedih.

Love transcends any boundary, regardless of how it ends. The well-written and compelling shorts released by Jollibee have struck a nerve not only home, but across the oceans to our foreign neighbors.

Guess this means no one does romance like Filipinos do.
