-Viraliving.
Together with.
Together with Viraliving.
Viral, huh?
Perfect family, happy vibes?
This ad is way too fake.
This is the one I saw.
Welcome to Viraliving.
How can we help you go viral today?
How much is this?
It's on there.
Right.
Ma'am, please be gentle.
- It's...
- Is this thing off?
Yes, it's not plugged in yet.
Plug it in, then.
Are there any other colors? Blue, maybe?
Another color?
Give me a second. I'll check.
You need to plug it in. Look.
But it's cheaper online.
Let's buy it online.
Okay.
Ma'am, we've got other colors,
including blue.
Can you deliver today?
For you guys, of course.
Just seal the deal today.
We'll think about it.
- Thanks.
- Thanks for coming to Viraliving.
I'm happy to assist,
even if you don't make a purchase.
- Just checking out stuff
- You think we can't afford it?
Not at all.
If you purchase here,
it's better than the ones online.
Are you even trying to sell?
You keep going back to check.
Don't make me call your manager.
Perfect.
Hey.
Not your friend, your manager.
Indeed. I am the manager.
What are you laughing at?
My name is Tawa.
Are you Tara?
- I'm sorry, ma'am, sir.
- You joke around too much.
They were customers!
They got so mad that they left!
My name is Tawa,
but my life is miserable.
Even right now, I'm a mess.
I just got fired.
That's why I look like this.
This is my skin care business.
Check it out.
It's great. Lisa from Blackpink
placed an order with me.
How am I supposed to make money?
Getting a job isn't easy.
I grew up without a dad.
I've never known him since I was a kid.
It's fine. Don't laugh.
I like it when it's quiet.
It's rough being mixed-race in Depok.
Whenever I go out,
everyone thinks I'm a tourist.
You think it's funny?
He's meant to be the head of the house,
but he's useless.
Even the charger head is more useful.
I'd do anything for you.
Oh, you sweet talker!
Look! See it for yourself.
That's your sugar baby?
Don't call her that.
She prefers "mistress."
- Ani!
- That's what you call her?
That's her name, Ani Sianiwati.
Ani, oh, Ani.
You're such a shark and tart!
You broke my heart!
Daddy!
- Don't seduce me!
- Daddy!
I'd leave my wife and kids for you!
We've only met once. That's not love!
Daddy. Move.
Set buset!
- Nice!
- Set buset!
But sir, I think a shark
that eats a tomato
- Serves him right.
- I love you so much.
- Did they change it?
- It was that all along.
Tawa.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Pardon the intrusion.
Drop the formality. My mom's not here.
This jerk.
What's taking you so long?
Hey! Shoes off! I just mopped the floor.
- This is brand-new.
- We were waiting for you downstairs.
- I want some.
- Wa, why don't you just move out?
Your place is too far.
Showing your true colors
without Mom here, huh?
Your place is so far, plus the traffic.
Right?
Is this basreng or fried meatballs?
Basreng is fried meatballs.
Let's pursue our dreams to Stand-Up Space.
I've been losing my mind
over which kindergarten to pick
for my kid.
I've checked out a bunch of them.
Expensive ones come with great facilities.
Cheaper ones have facilities,
but they're not always good.
Sometimes, the cheaper kindergartens
have animal murals,
but they don't look real.
There's one that costs
around a dozen million per year.
The facilities are complete,
there's the Cambridge curriculum,
and most importantly,
the orangutan drawing actually looks real.
That's all from me. Thanks.
Nice one.
Actually, we're done for the night.
But one comic showed up late.
So?
- Are you still sure you want to go on?
- Go. We'll support you.
- That last set was hilarious!
- You can do this.
Hold this for me.
Give it to me.
- Okay.
- Stay calm.
Take it easy. Breathe.
Wow, she's got guts. Pretty cool.
If she's not funny, toss the fries.
Let's welcome.
Tawa!
- Tawa!
- Let's go, Tawa!
Hello, my name is Tawa.
Am I in the way?
- I'm not recording her.
- Real-life frustration fuels stand-up,
but right now, I'm frustrated with you.
If I flop, you're throwing fries?
Might as well throw flour too.
Your material screams TV references.
If you're not funny,
then learn and read more.
No wonder you've only been stuck
in the community.
And you? Acting smart, not funny.
Plus, insulting the seniors.
Who do you think you are?
Why not? Because I'm a girl?
Mom!
Why are you screaming "Mom" now?
Your mom is in the hospital.
Damn.
Geez, Mom.
You should've been more careful.
If you're hurt,
who's going to provide for me?
A good kid would say,
"Mom, you should just rest at home."
"I'll earn money for you."
Are you hurt anywhere else?
Just my foot.
After this, I'll visit the psychologist
and head home.
You need to visit a psychologist?
Oops, I misspoke.
The psychopath.
Something's wrong with your head.
It's the physiotherapist.
Yeah, I said that.
Who hit you?
Set buset!
Thank you.
Tawa!
How are you?
Don't start.
D
Y
Did you hit my mom?
You caused her accident?
Answer me!
It's not like that. Listen.
Your mom was chasing me.
- And then I...
- Keset?
Enough!
Don't ever come back.
All you do is hurt my mom.
Just go.
Wow.
Is he actually your dad?
I'll tell you later.
That's right.
I'll leave in a bit,
but the doctor wants me to tell you
that your mom
has a history of diabetes.
It's all because of you. Just go away.
Right.
Take it. To buy vitamins.
Okay?
I don't want money.
I just want my mom to be healthy.
You were never there for us anyway.
Don't start acting all important now.
You're going to throw it? Do it.
You clown.
Here.
Thanks.
Iyas.
What do you want to play?
Hide-and-seek!
Where are you, Tawa?
Tawa!
Tawa?
Where are you?
Tawa?
Tawa. Are you done?
Hey. Where are you?
You're done?
Hello.
Are you done?
Tawa's school fees haven't been paid.
Bills are piling up.
I'm working all day long,
while you just sit at home
without a single care.
Don't you feel ashamed
seeing your friends succeed
while you're stuck like this?
Many haven't achieved success yet.
Some of them
are zombies!
Are you done?
I'm serious.
Not everything has to be a joke.
I get that your dream is important.
To be a comedian, appear on TV,
and have your own show.
But what if it doesn't work out?
You need to be patient.
How much longer must I wait?
Tell me!
I'm running out of patience.
Don't dream so big if you can't afford it!
You think dreams can pay
for Tawa's school?
You couldn't be a good husband.
The least you can do
is be a good dad to Tawa.
What? You're going to throw it?
Go ahead. Do it!
Can you even afford to replace it?
But you promised me.
That we'd build
everything together from zero.
I also started from zero!
But look who's still stuck
at zero with no growth.
Mom!
Mom!
- Tawa!
- Mom!
Mom! It hurts!
- You got scratched?
- Tawa.
I'm so sorry.
- Mom!
- Go away!
Yeah, but
Why did you grab the money?
I don't want any money from him.
My mom will kill me if she finds out.
It could help you and your mom
rent a new place.
How could you let your mom
go up and down the stairs like that?
Yeah, Tawa.
You've been staying here for a while.
Don't you want to move?
The place reeks of cat poop.
Well, yeah.
Then I'll take the money.
Got fired but refuses money.
Stupid move.
What are you doing?
I don't want the money. Don't pressure me!
What a joke.
You do want it.
I could adopt a new dad with this.
What are you doing walking around, Mom?
I'm thirsty. I also got you some cimol.
That's fine, then.
Careful, Mom.
Come on.
Iced drink again? And it's sweet!
You have diabetes, right?
Why didn't you tell me?
Mom.
See? You're lying.
Why did you lie to me?
If you lie, who else can I trust?
You're the only one I have.
Everyone else can lie or walk away,
but not you.
Unless you've got a big inheritance,
I'll think about it.
Don't think about money right now.
Just focus on your recovery.
Cut down on the sweet stuff.
Tomorrow, I'll be checking out
a new place.
We've stayed here way too long
and those stairs are not safe
for your legs.
And I think the feng shui here
is pretty bad.
Our lives haven't moved forward at all.
Do you have the money to move?
Cool, right? Here, a foreigner greets you.
- Ma'am, how are you? Feeling better?
- A bit.
Welcome to the Always Funny Residence.
It's not perfect,
but it's better than your previous place.
I'm going inside.
Come on.
- Slowly, Wa.
- Careful, Mom. One, two, three!
- Tawa!
- Sorry!
- You startled me.
- We'll go slow.
- Carry this one.
- It's a long walk. Go further in.
Carry the big boxes.
Guys, sorry if we're slow.
- It's fine.
- No worries.
Another step. Careful.
Ma'am, this will be yours and Tawa's room.
Over here.
You'll be neighbors with Fachri.
Fachri He's super tidy.
He even likes plants. He loves nature.
He used to live in the forest as a child.
He may not look like it,
but he's rich.
- As for that room...
- And this is her room.
It's got a lot of cables.
It looks like there's an AC inside.
But really, it's just a fan.
Don't be fooled.
Why?
It's nice and chilly.
But it's noisy.
But I like it.
But it's fake.
That's true, ma'am.
Her room is filled with fake stuff.
Fachri.
I'm right, though.
You're a movie extra, right?
Actress.
I've never faked being someone else...
- Enough!
- I...
Be quiet, you ungrateful friend!
Your acting is nowhere near
as good as mine!
Who do you think you are?
What? You keep auditioning
but never get called.
- Right?
- That's better than your face!
- What?
- You never had a glass skin.
That may be so, but you
take pictures with actors
at film premieres
and put the caption "Congrats, babe."
Take this!
Have a good stay.
How could you?
You don't eat it with rice?
He doesn't like rice,
despite his name sounding like one.
My name is Rais, ma'am.
People call me Nasi.
- But I don't like them.
- Ma'am.
This is delicious.
It's been a while
since I had home-cooked meals.
I can make more.
Don't. They'll get spoiled.
- Nice, right?
- Wow.
- Look.
- It's nice.
I'll set up some lights and stuff
Ma'am, do you want to be called.
Ms. Cantik or Ms. Indah?
Up to you, Rais.
- Mom, look at what I made. Come on.
- What?
- Walk slowly.
- I know.
You can do it. Okay.
So good.
It's like dining at Green Lake.
No, idiot. This is Iceland.
Hello, how are you?
What color are we feeling today?
You can grab it from the back.
Your equipment is all set here.
Lamp's here,
the nail file is there,
so you can grab everything in one go.
Well? Do you like it?
If you need any help, just ask them.
What?
I'm working.
Where? You got hired?
I'll get hired eventually.
Dumbass.
Hey, Co.
How are you?
Hello.
How are you?
Are you still working
at that viral celebrity bakery?
I've worked at a furniture store before.
Can you work under pressure?
Of course.
That's good.
You play padel?
Tawa.
You got your materials?
I don't get the saying
"A child is a blessing." What's that?
They say having more children
means more blessings.
But I don't think so.
More children just means more problems!
Honestly!
Experts say,
"You shouldn't scold kids
or they'll get traumatized."
But think about it. We're fathers,
the backbone of the family.
What's the better option,
the father being traumatized or the child?
If the kid's traumatized,
that's a problem for the future.
I'd probably be dead by then.
But if I'm the one traumatized,
I can't work and can't make money.
My kids could die.
Which is better,
living with trauma or the dead?
The first one's better, right?
I'm Pandji Pragiwaksono.
Thank you. Good night.
- He's the inventor of stand-up comedy!
- Founder!
- Yeah, founder.
- Nice.
Tawa is up next.
You sure?
- Yes.
- He's the founder.
Give it up once more for Pandji.
It's rare to see fathers
who care about parenting,
especially toxic parenting,
as he mentioned.
Kids are the source of the problem?
We didn't ask to be born.
If you can't handle a kid,
just take care of a cactus.
It'll grow even when neglected.
Any orphans in the house?
Come on. Raise your hands.
- Orphans!
- My dad is still alive.
- Or I'll slap you.
- Come on.
Orphan squad.
My dad left me when I was six.
I remember it well.
We were playing hide-and-seek.
But he hid way too far.
And now, I found him at age 21.
He's a funny guy.
I don't mind if he disappears
and never comes back.
But every day, his face is on TV.
He makes people laugh,
yet he disappoints his own family.
Cuaks.
Now you must be wondering,
"Who is her dad?"
My dad is.
Hasan.
Also known as Keset.
Yes, Keset.
Yes, him.
I'm serious.
The "set buset" guy.
You all think that's funny, right?
Because you're not his wife and kids.
Set buset.
My mom and I live alone.
Making money just to eat is a struggle.
We had no money,
moved from one rental house to another,
and even got kicked out by the landlord.
But him?
All he does
is get covered in flour every day.
I'm like, "When do we fry him?"
Too far? All right.
Just use the air fryer.
If you knew how nasty he was
to my mom and me,
you'd be saying,
"Set buset, that Keset guy is a bastard."
That's it from me. I'm Tawa. Thanks!
RESPECT, IT'S PAINFUL BUT FUNNY
IS HE REALLY YOUR DAD?
I ENDED UP CRYING WATCHING YOU.
FUNNY, YES. BUT IT HITS DEEP.
WHAT A STRONG KID
NICE!
THAT'S REALLY YOUR DAD?
SO RELATABLE. MY DAD LEFT TOO
KID: OPEN MIC, DAD: OPEN, LEAVE
CRAZY DARK HUMOR
WHAT'S GOING ON? CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN?
ASKING FOR REAL
YOUR STORY GAVE ME CHILLS.
POOR TAWA. SHE'S A GOOD KID.
THE SILENCED VOICE OF SOMEONE GROWING UP
WITHOUT A DAD ISN'T JUST A PERSONAL STORY.
IT SHOWS HOW MANY CHILDREN
BECOME VICTIMS OF TOXIC PARENTING.
SO FUNNY!
YOU WOULDN'T EXIST WITHOUT HIM
WISHING YOU SUCCESS. YOU'RE AMAZING.
OTW TO KESET'S ACCOUNRESPECT FOR OPENING UP
ABOUT PERSONAL STUFF
@SETBUSET SO, WHAT TO DO?
#ORPHANPROTECTORPHAN
I finally went viral! Yes!
Write down all your worries.
Use that as your premise.
PREMISE
True.
The life of a fatherless kid.
Passive orphan's POV. Many will relate.
Passive?
You're not an absolute, step,
functional, premium, or pro max orphan.
What does that mean?
Your dad's around, but he's useless.
- Right?
- Correct.
Tawa.
You should go last. People are waiting.
Sure.
Up next, the new big thing,
the most independent passive orphan,
Tawa!
I don't get it.
My dad never provided for my mom and me.
That's why names are like prayers.
His name is Keset.
His wallet's a desert.
Keset, desert.
Don't be a parent if you're not ready.
That's all from me, Tawa. Thank you!
People say children are a gift from God.
- But many parents treat it like junk mail.
- It's so funny.
When I found out who God left me with,
it wasn't God making a joke,
but my dad, a doormat.
THE GREATEST DEBUYou know how doormats say "Welcome"?
He isn't even welcoming at all.
Right?
He gets covered in flour every day.
Even I don't get it.
Is it his birthday every day?
There's always a celebration.
I want to be celebrated too!
I hope you have a good day.
Please forgive Jakarta's terrible air.
It's really polluted, right?
You're so funny.
Talking to plants.
This is my janda bolong,
the only plant I've managed to keep alive.
Well, same here.
I'm back.
- Hi.
- Tawa!
- Can I take a picture with you?
- Yes. Sure.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
I watched your show. You were hilarious.
Thank you so much.
That one.
Hey, I feel bad for your friend.
He talks to plants.
Don't be. He's a man of culture.
By the way,
what skin care products are you using?
- We use a lot.
- A lot.
I hate to say it,
but your skin seems a little dull and dry.
Dull?
I've got a product
that's great for our skin.
It helps your skin look glassy,
moisturized, and plump.
- Let me try.
- Go ahead.
Ms. Cantik uses it too.
She's a regular customer.
So?
- Smells like milk.
- Exactly.
Three dabs equals a glass of milk.
- Give me more.
- Try it.
Sorry. If you're not buying,
don't take too much.
Excuse me.
You've got to smell it, right?
I don't think you're using
your own products.
This is the before.
Before. Then...
- Then let me try again for good measure.
- We'll try again.
Don't fall for it. That product's a scam.
What are you and Fachri doing here?
Shouldn't you be helping my mom?
Where's Adin? It's getting busy.
- Adin!
- Hey, stop.
Din, come help my mom.
What do you want?
Who are you?
- You idiot!
- It's too early to be looking that scary!
I'm auditioning!
- Go help my mom!
- Gosh!
Take off those contact lenses! Idiot!
You're the idiot!
Have mercy, Ustad!
Have mercy!
Mom. Business is booming, huh?
So I'm getting royalties, right?
Miss Tawa!
- Oh, my God!
- Yes?
Your life is so tragic!
I'm fine.
I wish you greater success
and lots of good fortune.
Amen.
Thank you, miss.
Props to you both.
You've got the basics of cleaning nails.
Mom, no need to hire anyone else.
They're cheaper.
No, thank you, ma'am.
I'd rather
go back to gardening.
That won't help you make money.
I'm not built for it, ma'am.
- I'm terrible with details.
- What?
I'm sorry. It's not a lot.
- You don't have to.
- Thank you so much.
I'm serious. Thank you.
Fachri, this is yours.
Thank you for helping me today.
Are you sure?
- Yeah.
- Mom.
Do you have an extra?
They really don't mind.
It's okay.
I'm taking it.
I'm digging in.
You're rich. You don't need money.
This fried rice is amazing.
Rais?
Why? Not enough?
After two years of working away from home,
this is the first time
I've received a paycheck.
And it's not from stand-up comedy,
writing,
or selling skin care.
It was from
doing nail art.
Thank you so much.
May you be blessed.
Guys, check the split bill I sent
before you finish eating.
Hey!
Check the split bill.
My phone's plugged in in my room.
Just don't forget before you go to bed.
Pay the split bill first.
Eat up.
Rude.
No respect at all.
A split bill, seriously?
Just pay!
- I just got paid!
- Hey, don't worry about it.
Here's Fachri's share.
Thank you.
- Here.
- Don't touch me!
- Done?
- I paid mine.
- Got it. Thanks.
- Sure.
Ma'am, do I have to pay for the crackers?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello.
Yes?
Is this Tawa?
Yes, that's me.
I'm the producer for OTS
and I'd like you
to be a guest in two days.
Are you available?
Keset is no longer a cast here.
Yeah, filming starts soon.
- Mr. Santos.
- Yeah.
Hello.
Let's meet up after the shoot.
- Hello.
- Okay.
Right. I know.
Ms. Anggun.
How are you?
I'm good.
Miss, sir, I just wanted to let you know
that I'll be roasting you.
Do I need to show you what I wrote?
Hold up.
It's fine. Go ahead.
Make sure it's funny.
Yeah, don't worry about it.
Wow, the moon is so quiet.
Maybe it's Ramadan.
Help!
Someone, help!
The moon is beautiful.
There he is.
There he is.
I fell and it hurts.
Poor thing.
- Please heal her.
- She must recover.
Help!
Feels nice, right? Feeling better?
She's finally smiling.
- Where's your sway?
- Right.
- I forgot.
- Don't forget to sway.
But I think she's pissed.
Settle down now.
I heard she has a message
for the audience.
- Really?
- She said she'll be funny.
- We should give her a chance.
- Okay.
- Let's go there.
- Sure.
Oh, we're done?
Seriously, covered in flour?
Senior mentality, right?
Always picking on the young ones.
Ms. Anggun.
You're genuinely pretty,
but your stage costumes
are always so weird.
Your name means "graceful,"
but your look is a mess.
But it's better
than a messy career, right?
Japon.
Flashy but in debt.
Pay your friends before it gets viral.
Mr. Santos.
I respect him a lot.
In case you didn't know,
he overcame a dark period.
Why?
Because he used to be a drug user.
But he's clean now.
Right? Amazing.
Give him a round of applause.
So don't be surprised if the old Santos
was funnier than he is now.
- Tell her off!
- Talk to her.
That's all from me. I'm Tawa. Thanks.
Excuse me. I'm going home now.
Sorry if I said anything wrong earlier.
Excuse me.
Unbelievable!
I told them I was going to roast them!
I got floured too, but I didn't get mad
even though
I told the producer I didn't want that.
This is for you, Tawa.
I'll take it.
This is yours.
I knew you'd come.
Thank you.
Tawa, you did great. You were funny.
I'm so glad my talent runs in you.
Did you write that yourself or...
Talent?
I learned it on my own.
I write my own jokes, research,
practice, and think.
It's not just flour and slapstick comedy.
Let's go. Come on.
- Come on!
- Just do it to me.
Just me.
Don't drag them in.
There's still a lot about me.
I have plenty of flaws
for you to write about.
Let me help you.
Help?
Too late!
Twenty years too late
and all you did was vanish.
Iyas, come on!
- See you.
- Yeah.
At least take this.
It's just weird.
Running into him
at this age feels so surreal.
It's like seeing the dead
come back to life.
That sounds more like horror.
I'll just eat this.
I HOPE YOU LIKE ITERATAI RAYA STREET, BLOCK C20
Tawa.
I'm good.
You have to try this.
Typical Keset.
Even his lunchbox tastes funny.
What? No.
Come on.
- I don't need it.
- Just a bite.
The guys from the community
asked me to pass this on to you.
Hope it helps you end your day
on a good note.
I was going to give it earlier,
but the mood was too tense.
- What is it?
- Open it.
Iyas.
Is this real? This isn't a prank, right?
Finally!
I'm so happy!
Finally, some good news!
One of my prayers came through!
If all our wishes came true,
we'd probably forget
how to pray and be grateful.
Iyas.
Say it again.
- What?
- What you just said!
Like a quote on TikTok.
Click it.
- Again.
- Again.
It's tilted.
Do it properly.
- Wa.
- Yeah.
Have you got your materials ready?
It's probably going to be about him.
But I'm not sure.
Pretty sure I've said everything.
Here. Maybe this can help you.
Din, you want an old man's number?
Dumbass.
You want me to be your stepmom?
Hell no! Why would I contact him?
My dear!
Shut up.
But you know,
just treat it as a way
to get new materials.
- Right?
- I agree.
Go see him.
If you're scared, we'll go with you.
No.
We'll go together. Are you in? Yes.
- Are you?
- Yes.
Count me out.
Just a moment.
Just a moment!
Who the hell is it?
A protest?
Almost 20 years ago,
you left my mom and me with nothing.
Don't worry.
I'm not here to ask for money
or hold you accountable.
Because I'm lucky that I had a tough mom
who raised me by herself.
She worked hard every day for me
and made me who I am today.
I paid for all my phones
and laptops myself.
I took installments, but they're paid off.
Because I make my own money.
Many people are surprised, saying,
"How come she and her mom are so strong?"
"She grew up without a dad
and her mom's been single the whole time."
You left us with months of rent overdue.
Over there, my friends are ready
to protect me from bad people.
I came here just to see
the regret in your eyes,
to turn it into new stand-up material.
After that, I'll go back to the stage
and tell more stories about the pain
of growing up without a father.
Would you like to eat?
I'm in the middle of cooking.
She's going in?
It's all right. We'll wait here.
- Isn't she angry?
- What are you doing?
For the transition effect.
I'm sure you haven't had this in forever.
This is for you
Tawa?
Did Dad leave because of me?
He left us.
He's a bad guy.
- Tawa!
- Tawa!
See you. My dad's here.
This is you, your mom, and who is this?
My dad.
But you don't have a dad.
Says the one whose dad stinks!
Once I have a job,
I'll buy you a big house.
It'll have three big rooms.
One for me, one for you,
and one for dad if he ever comes back.
One room each.
That way, you two won't fight.
Thank you,
but I'll get you a big house
before you do.
- Would you like that?
- Yeah.
Relax.
I'm not asking you to come or vote.
I just want one thing.
Pray that I win.
This event is presented by Blu,
a new bank from the BCA Group.
All right, let's welcome
our next performance.
Give it up for Tawa!
- Tawa!
- Tawa!
Hello, I'm Tawa.
And I'm Keset's daughter.
NO TAWA, NO LAUGHTER.
To be honest,
it's kind of embarrassing to admit.
Because he's never improved.
From when I was a kid till now,
he's been a doormat.
He should've worked harder.
Maybe he'd level up into a carpet.
Every time I pass by the doormats
at a furniture store, I think to myself,
"That's my dad."
I used to wonder where he disappeared to.
Who knew he ended up with a dustpan?
My mom's competition
is literally a dustpan.
Just for a doormat.
I'm Tawa. Thank you.
Now that was loud!
Let's give it up once more for Tawa!
MY HEART IS FULL OF TAWA
- Amazing.
- Let's go, Tawa!
All right, without further ado,
let's hear the judges' comments.
Please, judges.
I like your act today,
but this is a long competition.
I don't think you can last long
if you're just complaining about your dad.
Look around you.
There's still so much you can talk about.
Not every emotion has to be anger.
You have to explore.
Especially if you make it to next week,
since the theme's going to be
Love as the theme for round two?
I don't get that stuff.
I don't even have a boyfriend.
You got this.
A lot of movies
have hate turning into love.
True.
Nothing's impossible in this world.
True.
But it's fiction, dumb-ass.
That's true.
But why do you want to win so badly?
You can still perform a stand-up
even if you lose.
I want to prove
that I'm better than my dad.
So my mom believes in me.
You compete with the other contestants,
not your dad.
Anyway,
what you really should do
is go see your dad.
See if he has any love in him.
See him while you still have the chance.
Because I can't.
More like
I don't know who my dad is.
It's fine.
He's a foreigner. Handsome.
Unlike you guys.
Do you want to see my dad instead?
Such tacky decor for such a big house.
Why so many rooms?
That's the storage room.
And over here is my room.
There's one more room.
Want to see?
Here it is.
Just come in.
Come on.
This room
Is for you.
Well
I always hoped that
one day,
you'd show up
and live here.
Oh, right.
There it is.
Here.
I've been collecting comics as well.
Remember when you were small and told us,
"Mom, Dad, I want to collect comics
so I can be a comedian when I grow up."
Oh, no.
I think my cooking is burnt. Let's eat.
The mother is Cantik, the father is Keset.
The daughter's Kusut.
-The mother is Cantik, the father is Keset.
-The father is Keset.
-The daughter's Kusut.
-The daughter's Kusut.
-The mother is Cantik, the father is Keset.
-Dad!
Set buset!
Hold me up too!
Keset, Keset, Keset.
What are you doing?
Hello, little booger!
I want to do your makeup,
but close your eyes.
Anjay Group!
Aman Jaya!
- One heart, countless laughs!
- One heart, countless laughs!
- Anjay! Anjay!
- Anjay! Anjay!
Dear, help!
- Can we get one room for four?
- Please.
No!
You can't hug my dad!
He belongs to Mom!
My mom's pretty, not like you.
You're safe now, Dad.
The egg is laughing.
I hurt you.
I'm sorry.
Why haven't you apologized to Mom yet?
Don't tell me you can't?
Approach her nicely,
ask to talk privately,
look her in the eye and say,
"I'm sorry. I regret what I did."
You could at least text her saying sorry.
It's hard.
Excuses.
Excuse?
The excuse died,
causing the circuit to break.
It sounded like
That's a fuse.
Everything's a joke to you.
It's not like that, Tawa.
I just don't know how.
Do you know that what you did is wrong?
How can you fix things
if you can't even apologize?
Or maybe you don't even feel guilty.
Tawa.
I'm just afraid.
I'm afraid I might let you
and your mom down again.
Forget it.
Please hear me out.
Please.
I'm begging you.
No amount of money I save
or how well I choose my words
can compare to what you went through
with your mom without me.
Dear.
Tawa.
Being this close to you
feels more than enough.
I didn't realize, Tawa.
That time flew by so fast.
Suddenly, you're grown up,
beautiful,
and funny.
Dear.
If
I ever get
That second chance,
I promise
I'll do my best for you and your mother.
I'm sorry.
Please accept me.
Don't. You'll mess it up.
That's fake?
Stay here. I need to grab something.
Set buset.
Let's go.
Drive safely, Iyas!
Take care.
THANKS, DEAR. COME HERE AGAIN
YOU'RE WELCOME
UGLY
Did Dad leave because of me?
He left us.
He's a bad guy.
Use these
to get your nails done.
And also a tip for Ms. Cantik.
Since I'm a passive orphan,
I often feel bad for my mom
for being a single fighter.
I thought about finding love for her,
like matching her with a rich widower.
But it's hard,
not because widowers are hard to find,
but it's hard to find one
who'd want a divorcee.
Multiple choice is out of the question.
He thinks it's funny.
You want a divorcee?
Sure, if I can find one.
There he is.
How dare you sit in the director's chair?
You're nothing but a janitor!
Why become a doormat?
Is it fun getting bullied like that?
- not the bag!
- Take off your clothes!
Hey!
Why become a doormat?
So, you're the director?
That's just
My fashion.
Passion, yeah.
So, yeah.
Basically,
in comedy,
there's a role called
the butt of the joke.
And I prefer that.
Someone being made fun of.
The others could be the ones striking.
Life's like that too.
Sometimes joy
counts more after tears.
- Nice.
- Good one.
Sure.
So you know the theories?
Of course.
Eat more.
No.
I've been eating that all my life.
Always fritters.
Offer TV next time.
The TV at our place is broken.
I ate that all my childhood.
- How am I supposed to turn out smart?
- Sure, let's go.
Come on. Geez, my foot.
Mr. Keset?
Set buset!
Welcome to Rajawali Electronics.
How can I help you?
Yes, I need a TV.
- A water dispenser.
- Okay.
A fridge.
Do you need AC too?
No, the house doesn't have enough power.
Those ones.
You have the money?
Underestimating a capital-city celebrity,
I see.
Miss, please take care of it.
Yes, sir.
So, which one do you want?
I don't know.
You got a PlayStation?
A PlayStation?
We don't have it.
Oh, I see.
Check.
One, two,
- three.
- Gosh.
- Low.
- What is he doing?
I'm so sorry.
Check, check.
What are you doing?
So embarrassing.
That's such an old song.
Seriously?
I'm sure in my heart.
You're the one I need.
I feel like it's only you.
Who makes me miss you.
When you're finally mine.
I'm sure your love.
Won't be divided and won't turn away.
Because I know that's just who you are.
Because I know that's just who you are.
I'll make sure to wait.
No matter how long it takes.
For the love I feel.
That's only for you.
Trust me, I mean it.
Everything I said.
Be sure in your heart that you're mine.
Because I know that's just who you are.
- That's you.
- As if!
-Because I know that's just who you are
-Wait, a photo booth!
Come here!
Dad, come on.
-When you're finally mine.
-When you're finally mine.
-I'm sure your love.
-I'm sure your love.
-Won't be divided and won't turn away.
-Won't be divided and won't turn away.
-Because I know that's just who you are.
-Because I know that's just who you are.
-Because I know that's just who you are.
-Because I know that's just who you are.
- Music.
- Music.
It says music.
Music.
Why are you crying?
We're doing something fun.
There's a video too!
Water dispenser, air purifier, TV,
I'm off to bed now.
You don't seem happy.
Since you've been busy,
I've felt like you've grown distant.
I'm worried you'll leave me.
I won't, Mom.
I'm working hard
so you can have a good life
and don't have to work anymore.
Mom.
I asked for your permission back then.
Please trust me.
I can make you proud.
Tawa.
All that matters to me is your happiness.
I just want you to be happy.
Enjoy your life for your own sake.
At first, stand-up comedy was so much fun.
But over time,
I feel like I'm hurting
the people closest to me.
Everyone.
My mom.
Maybe you too someday.
I feel like every job has its risks.
When I'm sewing,
there are times I argue with Nini
over different tastes.
It is what it is.
Like,
it's not your fault
nor the job's fault.
Just keep in mind that
your life is more important
than your work.
You're up next.
Okay.
Good luck.
Tawa!
Come on.
3 MINUTES LEFLet's go, Tawa!
3 MINUTES LEF- Tawa!
- Tawa!
You're lying to me.
What are you doing?
Just go home.
Get off! Get off the stage!
Get off!
Get off now!
- Come on, Tawa.
- Get off!
- Get off the stage!
- Come on, Tawa.
- Come on.
- Now!
- Tawa.
- Get off!
- Come on, Tawa.
- Get off!
Respect.
- That girl, really.
- Stop. Don't you dare.
- She's going to feel even worse.
- There she is.
Congratulations.
That was quite a spectacle.
A bomb!
- Stop it, Le.
- Let her learn her lesson.
- Let her learn her lesson.
- Stop. Her friends are here.
Tell your friend
that her performance just now
makes our community look bad!
No. As if you could pass the audition.
- Cocky, are you?
- I don't care.
- I'll keep an eye on you.
- Hey, that's enough.
- What now?
- Thanks.
Sir, come on.
Just go.
Hello. How are you?
Drop the formality.
You moved without notice.
Running away, huh?
No, I'm still saving up. I'm almost there.
So where is it?
I heard your kid got famous on TV.
Tell her to come out!
Not so loud. She's sleeping.
Ms. Tia, let me know your bank details.
I'll transfer them.
Trying to challenge me?
I've even printed it for you.
My bank account and QRIS.
I'll be waiting.
Don't just joke around. I can't laugh.
See? Because you haven't paid.
If you pay
I'll laugh easily.
Pay up. I'll be waiting.
No transfer so far.
My phone is still silent.
Make me laugh, Tawa! Not cry!
Pay up!
You all have to pay!
I don't care whose account. Just pay!
If you can hear me, you still owe me!
I'll only be quiet after you pay up!
Tawa.
Tawa.
What are you doing here, Dad?
What if Mom sees you?
Are you okay?
Your friends and I have been
looking for you. Are you okay?
I'm okay, really.
I'm okay, so you should go.
I've read your materials.
They were great.
I'd like to see you perform it sometime.
Okay, but we should go now.
- You promise?
- Yes, but let's go! Mom can't see us.
Hurry.
RISPEK STALL
Excuse me.
What do you need?
A vacation?
Or Pilates?
Padel?
What are you saying? Drink your coffee.
I just want you to be happy.
I'm okay.
Don't give up.
Never give up,
no matter how many times you fail.
You're funny.
And if you feel this is your calling,
you have to keep trying.
I want to order.
Thanks.
I think I want to take a break
from stand-up comedy.
I want to get a proper job
to help Mom out.
What do you do now?
Nothing.
Being a comedian on TV is hard nowadays.
Your comic friends run the scene.
Maybe I should try stand-up?
Yes. That's a great idea.
I'll help you.
I can be your comedy buddy.
Where do we even start?
When you left Mom and me.
Set buset!
We'll start with the three things
that make people laugh.
The unexpected, superiority, and relief.
We expect one thing,
but the truth is something else.
For example, you're a successful comedian.
You're supposed to be a good dad,
yet you're not.
In stand-up, you should be able
to laugh at yourself.
It's called self-deprecation.
Being able to joke about your own sadness.
For example
My dad and I used to play hide-and-seek.
I'd close my eyes and search,
but couldn't find him.
And he shows up 20 years later.
I had no choice but to listen.
When I blew the trumpet, they went
Your punch line is good,
but it takes too long.
The story leading up to it is too long.
Make it shorter.
Are you happy I got eliminated?
I'm just kidding.
Even though I don't prefer you
to go into comedy,
I am sad that
you couldn't achieve your dream.
Oh, please, dreams?
Can commoners like us even dream?
You can't say that.
We can.
You should always dream.
My fringe!
What?
Come to our open mic.
I'll pass. I'm on a hiatus.
Who even are you?
Just come.
You'll be back for more.
You should go.
Better to leave than stress here.
You're not coming, ma'am?
It's Saturday night. Keep Tawa company.
It's open mic night.
With a surprise guest
you wouldn't expect.
- Let's welcome
- Welcome
-Our special guest,
-Our special guest,
- Keset!
- Keset!
Give it up for Keset!
Come on up.
How are you, sir?
I'm good.
I meant your family.
Our first comic of the night,
Adin!
Thank you, Nasi.
Mr. Keset.
As a father, he's independent,
optimistic, and passionate about his job.
It's no surprise he's thriving
in entertainment.
Work is less stressful
when you don't think about family.
I'd rather have a real doormat
than this dude.
A real doormat costs less than a dollar.
But this one? Worthless.
Even his daughter makes fun of him.
Tawa likes to share stories about Kusut.
- Keset!
- Keset!
If you don't mind, how old are you?
Forty-seven.
That's pretty old.
Sorry, but when you pass away,
will your inheritance be cash
or Styrofoam?
Adin.
Enough.
I don't like seeing people
make fun of my dad.
It's a comedy club, Tawa.
Not everything can be a joke.
- Tawa.
- Just calm down.
This is for you.
For me?
I never asked for this.
- You never asked me.
- It wasn't you.
It's your dad.
I asked them to do this.
Plus, I get to learn
how to do an open mic.
- Just stop it.
- We're doing this
to get your stand-up mood back.
You think I'm just not in the mood?
You all think this is funny?
You don't know how I feel.
Don't act like you do!
You never open up.
How could we have known?
- Tawa!
- Your receipt and change.
- I'll go get your drink.
- Okay.
- Tawa.
- You're supposed to defend me, not them.
Didn't you want to be a good dad?
A good dad can disagree
with their child and...
They don't know anything about us!
Only I get to make fun of you.
Mom, I'm going to sleep first.
Just a moment.
- The number you've dialed is unavailable.
- Shit.
To leave a message, please call
Ma'am, I'd like nail art.
Are you open?
No, my mom went outside.
Mom!
Fachri, have you seen my mom?
I ran out of water.
Time to refill.
Din, have you seen her?
Adin.
Adin.
I don't know.
Okay, yes.
I got it. I'll get to it today.
Good morning!
Unstoppable!
Yes.
Tawa.
I'm not the brightest among us,
but I know one thing.
There's a time for jokes
and a time to be serious.
We asked your dad's permission.
And he said okay.
How can we succeed
when we're given a chance to run an event
but aren't united?
Have you ever tried to understand us?
We're the ones always listening to you.
Just so you know,
others struggle too.
You're not
Amazing.
Rude.
You really should pick
your friends wisely here in Jakarta.
Idiot.
I'm tired.
Just when I'm about to be happy,
everyone leaves me.
Even my parents couldn't stick around.
Do you know your mom's close friend?
Maybe she's there.
I know where she is,
but I don't understand
why she won't come home.
Why does it look like this?
It's a different color.
What, you hate it?
You're going to leave me too?
No. It's just a different color.
- Mom.
- Calm down.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Did you take your meds?
Did you eat?
Let's go home.
Are you listening to me?
When have I ever not listened to you?
I've always put you first.
I've worked all this time for you.
You're all I have.
Yet you lie to me so easily.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Now you want to live with him?
He can help you
achieve your dreams, right?
No, I want to be with you.
I'm here to look for you.
You left me.
Yes.
I left you
because you don't need me.
No, I need you.
Not everyone is as lucky as your dad.
To have fulfilled his dreams.
But I only have one option.
You.
I chose you.
But clearly,
you didn't choose me.
You're happy with him now.
All right.
I accept it.
Just a second.
What's going on?
The helmet.
Helmet.
Thanks, Iyas.
What happened?
She had a fight with her mom.
Tawa.
The dishes are cleaned.
It'll be extra clean.
You should go to bed.
Just let me do whatever I want!
Everyone's telling me what to do.
Being a comedian has its ups and downs,
but mostly downs.
Sometimes I get used
as a punching bag, ostracized,
dusted with flour,
or made to look like a clown.
But
What clown looks this handsome?
But well, I'm grateful.
I became a comedian.
That's where I found my livelihood.
Even though my income as a comedian is
Not much.
We, comedians, joke a lot.
Even our pay's a joke.
So funny.
My name's Keset. Thank you.
Honestly, instead of wasting energy
on stand-up,
you'd better learn how to be a dad first.
Teach your kid not to be weak.
Set buset.
Just look at her.
She's got daddy issues thanks to who?
Always craving attention.
Clearly starved for affection.
If no one keeps an eye on her...
Tawa
Sorry for bothering you.
We just need a favor.
- Maybe you can talk to...
- Tawa!
Tawa?
Is she home?
Don't bother looking for Tawa!
I've heard it all from them.
You acted miserable, pretended to be poor
just to make Tawa pity you
and forgive you, right?
What are you doing here?
Just keep running! Go away!
Disappear for good!
I was wrong for not apologizing to you,
but it's because I was scared.
Hasan.
Since you left, I've learned
to handle everything by myself.
I don't want to get hurt again.
I just want a peaceful life,
for Tawa and for me,
without you in it.
Without me?
I'm sorry.
I just wanted to make you and Tawa happy.
I thought I had it all figured out,
but I ruined everything.
Perhaps you're right.
I don't deserve to be forgiven.
Why can't you just forgive him?
I know you've been tired
of doing everything alone,
but stop pretending to be so tough!
I was a mistake, wasn't I?
I shouldn't have been born.
If I didn't exist,
maybe you two wouldn't fight.
No.
Maybe you two would
get to do what you want now.
I'm just your burden.
Tawa.
Tawa's got it rough,
having a dad like you
And a mom like me.
We're sorry, Hasan.
We didn't mean to borrow money from Indah.
We just wanted her help
so we can talk to you.
We're sorry.
I've spent almost half my life
with you guys.
I've always put you first.
We're not performing every day.
Can't I
just this once,
have what I need and what I want?
Set buset.
Sorry for barging in.
The gate's open.
Hasan.
I have to go.
Indah, see you.
He means well.
Get along, you two. Okay?
Indah.
I'm sorry.
Yesterday, I...
Hasan.
I'm going back.
Don't worry about it too much.
Send my regards to Tawa.
Indah.
Yesterday,
I was
They left?
I should go too. Sorry.
- Indah...
- It's fine.
I forgive you.
Tawa is strong.
She's strong for having parents like us.
She used to wait for you by the door,
always asking, "When's Dad coming home?"
Always.
When she's with you,
she never stops laughing.
She's always been that bright, funny kid.
I know she looks up to you.
I shouldn't have taken out
my anger at you on her.
I should've kept your principle.
No matter the problem,
face it with a laugh.
It'll make it easier to bear.
Hasan.
If we have to get back together for Tawa,
let's do it.
Let's make Tawa happy.
Maybe this is our last chance
to be good parents.
Sayonara, sayonara.
Don't worry, Mom.
No more being a comedian.
I'm going to be an entrepreneur.
Wait, let me give this to Nasi.
Hey, Rais.
Now that's a smash.
- You just stayed quiet.
- It's padel.
What's padel?
It's a kind of sport.
The one where you hit the ball
Our shoes?
Ma'am, it's okay. Don't.
Please forgive Tawa.
I can't accept this.
Look at this. I got two stitches.
I've got proof.
I'll show it to you
Why is he here? Let's talk
about this later. Don't delete it.
Why is he here?
Excuse me, ma'am. No outside food allowed.
It's fine.
I'm sorry.
Forgive me.
I'm Tawa's mom.
I brought some food. Please have some.
And I want to ask you guys a favor.
If Tawa comes back,
I hope you can help her.
Tawa's dad is not that funny
and I don't really get stand-up.
If someday,
both of us are no longer around
and she needs help,
please help her.
Because
if she asks for help,
it means
She has no other choice.
Okay?
Is it spicy?
No.
Let's eat.
Welcome to Dekoruma. How can I help you?
I want to check out the kitchen set.
They're over here. Follow me.
Here's one of our kitchen set designs.
It includes a marble kitchen island.
And you can customize the glass
or replace it with wood.
Come home.
I've got to work, so I won't be a burden.
There, my boss, a total Kesetmania.
She wants a picture.
Your mom is waiting at home.
Your mom's been through a lot,
always taking on everything by herself.
Sometimes, she snaps at you,
but it's not because she dislikes
or resents you.
It's because she's furious with herself
for feeling like
she wasn't a good mother to you
and for not giving you an easy life.
That's all your mother ever wanted.
But you know,
she is
The best mother I've ever known.
When you're angry or frustrated
and need to let it out,
don't take it out on her.
Try to hold back
and just talk to me instead.
Okay?
Yes.
Let's get married.
Get married?
What can you offer me?
I can give you laughter every day.
I can give you anything.
Anything.
I want
my own salon.
I'll build it.
What else? That can't be all.
I want
To be a good mother for my children.
Also,
as for our kid, let's name them
Tawa.
So every day is full of laughter
and we can live happily forever.
Thank you.
- Nice, right?
- Yeah.
It's funny.
- Tawa.
- Tawa.
Tawa.
I used to believe a kid's mistakes
were the parents' responsibility.
But I've messed up as well.
It's my first time going through life
as their child.
And it's also their first time
learning how to be parents.
But it's not about
figuring out who's to blame.
It's how we deal with the problem.
Right?
And you're watching Jalinan Kasih.
Maybe it was naive of me.
TEST RESULT ANNOUNCEMENBut when my dad left,
I thought he was the worst,
a failed father.
One, two, three.
I made it!
Mom! I got into UGM! I'm going to college!
I'm going to college!
Wait! I want to call my friends!
But I've come to realize
Adin! Nasi! I got into college!
that being a parent never ends.
Hello, Iyas! I got into UGM!
- There are no failed fathers.
- Will you send me off?
They're just fathers
who never stop trying for their families.
It's not a comedy show now.
Click the link below to donate.
Wish me luck.
Of course.
Bye, Mom, Dad.
- Take care.
- Yeah.
Bye!
Hold on!
I left my fringe.
Wake up! I'm going to clean up.
Hurry.
The court hereby grants the divorce
between the petitioner and the respondent.
Bye!
I'm Tawa! Thank you. Bye!
The mic's here.
Okay, up next
My bad.
Let's welcome Ms. Cantik to the stage.
No!
Come on!
- Ms. Cantik!
- Ms. Cantik!
- Ms. Cantik!
- Ms. Cantik!
- Wait, her hand's missing!
- What?
Yeah! Ms. Cantik!
Viral furniture, lasting joy.
The soft mattress? Viral!
The cozy sofa? Viral!
Even the dining table, all viral.
Happy family? Obviously.
Viraliving.
Plenty of budget-friendly products.
Viraliving.
Life's even better with a sale.
High-quality life filled with laughter.
And joy.
-Go viral.
-Viraliving.
Together with.
Together with Viraliving.
Viral, huh?
Perfect family, happy vibes?
This ad is way too fake.
This is the one I saw.
Welcome to Viraliving.
How can we help you go viral today?
How much is this?
It's on there.
Right.
Ma'am, please be gentle.
- It's...
- Is this thing off?
Yes, it's not plugged in yet.
Plug it in, then.
Are there any other colors? Blue, maybe?
Another color?
Give me a second. I'll check.
You need to plug it in. Look.
But it's cheaper online.
Let's buy it online.
Okay.
Ma'am, we've got other colors,
including blue.
Can you deliver today?
For you guys, of course.
Just seal the deal today.
We'll think about it.
- Thanks.
- Thanks for coming to Viraliving.
I'm happy to assist,
even if you don't make a purchase.
- Just checking out stuff
- You think we can't afford it?
Not at all.
If you purchase here,
it's better than the ones online.
Are you even trying to sell?
You keep going back to check.
Don't make me call your manager.
Perfect.
Hey.
Not your friend, your manager.
Indeed. I am the manager.
What are you laughing at?
My name is Tawa.
Are you Tara?
- I'm sorry, ma'am, sir.
- You joke around too much.
They were customers!
They got so mad that they left!
My name is Tawa,
but my life is miserable.
Even right now, I'm a mess.
I just got fired.
That's why I look like this.
This is my skin care business.
Check it out.
It's great. Lisa from Blackpink
placed an order with me.
How am I supposed to make money?
Getting a job isn't easy.
I grew up without a dad.
I've never known him since I was a kid.
It's fine. Don't laugh.
I like it when it's quiet.
It's rough being mixed-race in Depok.
Whenever I go out,
everyone thinks I'm a tourist.
You think it's funny?
He's meant to be the head of the house,
but he's useless.
Even the charger head is more useful.
I'd do anything for you.
Oh, you sweet talker!
Look! See it for yourself.
That's your sugar baby?
Don't call her that.
She prefers "mistress."
- Ani!
- That's what you call her?
That's her name, Ani Sianiwati.
Ani, oh, Ani.
You're such a shark and tart!
You broke my heart!
Daddy!
- Don't seduce me!
- Daddy!
I'd leave my wife and kids for you!
We've only met once. That's not love!
Daddy. Move.
Set buset!
- Nice!
- Set buset!
But sir, I think a shark
that eats a tomato
- Serves him right.
- I love you so much.
- Did they change it?
- It was that all along.
Tawa.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Pardon the intrusion.
Drop the formality. My mom's not here.
This jerk.
What's taking you so long?
Hey! Shoes off! I just mopped the floor.
- This is brand-new.
- We were waiting for you downstairs.
- I want some.
- Wa, why don't you just move out?
Your place is too far.
Showing your true colors
without Mom here, huh?
Your place is so far, plus the traffic.
Right?
Is this basreng or fried meatballs?
Basreng is fried meatballs.
Let's pursue our dreams to Stand-Up Space.
I've been losing my mind
over which kindergarten to pick
for my kid.
I've checked out a bunch of them.
Expensive ones come with great facilities.
Cheaper ones have facilities,
but they're not always good.
Sometimes, the cheaper kindergartens
have animal murals,
but they don't look real.
There's one that costs
around a dozen million per year.
The facilities are complete,
there's the Cambridge curriculum,
and most importantly,
the orangutan drawing actually looks real.
That's all from me. Thanks.
Nice one.
Actually, we're done for the night.
But one comic showed up late.
So?
- Are you still sure you want to go on?
- Go. We'll support you.
- That last set was hilarious!
- You can do this.
Hold this for me.
Give it to me.
- Okay.
- Stay calm.
Take it easy. Breathe.
Wow, she's got guts. Pretty cool.
If she's not funny, toss the fries.
Let's welcome.
Tawa!
- Tawa!
- Let's go, Tawa!
Hello, my name is Tawa.
Am I in the way?
- I'm not recording her.
- Real-life frustration fuels stand-up,
but right now, I'm frustrated with you.
If I flop, you're throwing fries?
Might as well throw flour too.
Your material screams TV references.
If you're not funny,
then learn and read more.
No wonder you've only been stuck
in the community.
And you? Acting smart, not funny.
Plus, insulting the seniors.
Who do you think you are?
Why not? Because I'm a girl?
Mom!
Why are you screaming "Mom" now?
Your mom is in the hospital.
Damn.
Geez, Mom.
You should've been more careful.
If you're hurt,
who's going to provide for me?
A good kid would say,
"Mom, you should just rest at home."
"I'll earn money for you."
Are you hurt anywhere else?
Just my foot.
After this, I'll visit the psychologist
and head home.
You need to visit a psychologist?
Oops, I misspoke.
The psychopath.
Something's wrong with your head.
It's the physiotherapist.
Yeah, I said that.
Who hit you?
Set buset!
Thank you.
Tawa!
How are you?
Don't start.
D
Y
Did you hit my mom?
You caused her accident?
Answer me!
It's not like that. Listen.
Your mom was chasing me.
- And then I...
- Keset?
Enough!
Don't ever come back.
All you do is hurt my mom.
Just go.
Wow.
Is he actually your dad?
I'll tell you later.
That's right.
I'll leave in a bit,
but the doctor wants me to tell you
that your mom
has a history of diabetes.
It's all because of you. Just go away.
Right.
Take it. To buy vitamins.
Okay?
I don't want money.
I just want my mom to be healthy.
You were never there for us anyway.
Don't start acting all important now.
You're going to throw it? Do it.
You clown.
Here.
Thanks.
Iyas.
What do you want to play?
Hide-and-seek!
Where are you, Tawa?
Tawa!
Tawa?
Where are you?
Tawa?
Tawa. Are you done?
Hey. Where are you?
You're done?
Hello.
Are you done?
Tawa's school fees haven't been paid.
Bills are piling up.
I'm working all day long,
while you just sit at home
without a single care.
Don't you feel ashamed
seeing your friends succeed
while you're stuck like this?
Many haven't achieved success yet.
Some of them
are zombies!
Are you done?
I'm serious.
Not everything has to be a joke.
I get that your dream is important.
To be a comedian, appear on TV,
and have your own show.
But what if it doesn't work out?
You need to be patient.
How much longer must I wait?
Tell me!
I'm running out of patience.
Don't dream so big if you can't afford it!
You think dreams can pay
for Tawa's school?
You couldn't be a good husband.
The least you can do
is be a good dad to Tawa.
What? You're going to throw it?
Go ahead. Do it!
Can you even afford to replace it?
But you promised me.
That we'd build
everything together from zero.
I also started from zero!
But look who's still stuck
at zero with no growth.
Mom!
Mom!
- Tawa!
- Mom!
Mom! It hurts!
- You got scratched?
- Tawa.
I'm so sorry.
- Mom!
- Go away!
Yeah, but
Why did you grab the money?
I don't want any money from him.
My mom will kill me if she finds out.
It could help you and your mom
rent a new place.
How could you let your mom
go up and down the stairs like that?
Yeah, Tawa.
You've been staying here for a while.
Don't you want to move?
The place reeks of cat poop.
Well, yeah.
Then I'll take the money.
Got fired but refuses money.
Stupid move.
What are you doing?
I don't want the money. Don't pressure me!
What a joke.
You do want it.
I could adopt a new dad with this.
What are you doing walking around, Mom?
I'm thirsty. I also got you some cimol.
That's fine, then.
Careful, Mom.
Come on.
Iced drink again? And it's sweet!
You have diabetes, right?
Why didn't you tell me?
Mom.
See? You're lying.
Why did you lie to me?
If you lie, who else can I trust?
You're the only one I have.
Everyone else can lie or walk away,
but not you.
Unless you've got a big inheritance,
I'll think about it.
Don't think about money right now.
Just focus on your recovery.
Cut down on the sweet stuff.
Tomorrow, I'll be checking out
a new place.
We've stayed here way too long
and those stairs are not safe
for your legs.
And I think the feng shui here
is pretty bad.
Our lives haven't moved forward at all.
Do you have the money to move?
Cool, right? Here, a foreigner greets you.
- Ma'am, how are you? Feeling better?
- A bit.
Welcome to the Always Funny Residence.
It's not perfect,
but it's better than your previous place.
I'm going inside.
Come on.
- Slowly, Wa.
- Careful, Mom. One, two, three!
- Tawa!
- Sorry!
- You startled me.
- We'll go slow.
- Carry this one.
- It's a long walk. Go further in.
Carry the big boxes.
Guys, sorry if we're slow.
- It's fine.
- No worries.
Another step. Careful.
Ma'am, this will be yours and Tawa's room.
Over here.
You'll be neighbors with Fachri.
Fachri He's super tidy.
He even likes plants. He loves nature.
He used to live in the forest as a child.
He may not look like it,
but he's rich.
- As for that room...
- And this is her room.
It's got a lot of cables.
It looks like there's an AC inside.
But really, it's just a fan.
Don't be fooled.
Why?
It's nice and chilly.
But it's noisy.
But I like it.
But it's fake.
That's true, ma'am.
Her room is filled with fake stuff.
Fachri.
I'm right, though.
You're a movie extra, right?
Actress.
I've never faked being someone else...
- Enough!
- I...
Be quiet, you ungrateful friend!
Your acting is nowhere near
as good as mine!
Who do you think you are?
What? You keep auditioning
but never get called.
- Right?
- That's better than your face!
- What?
- You never had a glass skin.
That may be so, but you
take pictures with actors
at film premieres
and put the caption "Congrats, babe."
Take this!
Have a good stay.
How could you?
You don't eat it with rice?
He doesn't like rice,
despite his name sounding like one.
My name is Rais, ma'am.
People call me Nasi.
- But I don't like them.
- Ma'am.
This is delicious.
It's been a while
since I had home-cooked meals.
I can make more.
Don't. They'll get spoiled.
- Nice, right?
- Wow.
- Look.
- It's nice.
I'll set up some lights and stuff
Ma'am, do you want to be called.
Ms. Cantik or Ms. Indah?
Up to you, Rais.
- Mom, look at what I made. Come on.
- What?
- Walk slowly.
- I know.
You can do it. Okay.
So good.
It's like dining at Green Lake.
No, idiot. This is Iceland.
Hello, how are you?
What color are we feeling today?
You can grab it from the back.
Your equipment is all set here.
Lamp's here,
the nail file is there,
so you can grab everything in one go.
Well? Do you like it?
If you need any help, just ask them.
What?
I'm working.
Where? You got hired?
I'll get hired eventually.
Dumbass.
Hey, Co.
How are you?
Hello.
How are you?
Are you still working
at that viral celebrity bakery?
I've worked at a furniture store before.
Can you work under pressure?
Of course.
That's good.
You play padel?
Tawa.
You got your materials?
I don't get the saying
"A child is a blessing." What's that?
They say having more children
means more blessings.
But I don't think so.
More children just means more problems!
Honestly!
Experts say,
"You shouldn't scold kids
or they'll get traumatized."
But think about it. We're fathers,
the backbone of the family.
What's the better option,
the father being traumatized or the child?
If the kid's traumatized,
that's a problem for the future.
I'd probably be dead by then.
But if I'm the one traumatized,
I can't work and can't make money.
My kids could die.
Which is better,
living with trauma or the dead?
The first one's better, right?
I'm Pandji Pragiwaksono.
Thank you. Good night.
- He's the inventor of stand-up comedy!
- Founder!
- Yeah, founder.
- Nice.
Tawa is up next.
You sure?
- Yes.
- He's the founder.
Give it up once more for Pandji.
It's rare to see fathers
who care about parenting,
especially toxic parenting,
as he mentioned.
Kids are the source of the problem?
We didn't ask to be born.
If you can't handle a kid,
just take care of a cactus.
It'll grow even when neglected.
Any orphans in the house?
Come on. Raise your hands.
- Orphans!
- My dad is still alive.
- Or I'll slap you.
- Come on.
Orphan squad.
My dad left me when I was six.
I remember it well.
We were playing hide-and-seek.
But he hid way too far.
And now, I found him at age 21.
He's a funny guy.
I don't mind if he disappears
and never comes back.
But every day, his face is on TV.
He makes people laugh,
yet he disappoints his own family.
Cuaks.
Now you must be wondering,
"Who is her dad?"
My dad is.
Hasan.
Also known as Keset.
Yes, Keset.
Yes, him.
I'm serious.
The "set buset" guy.
You all think that's funny, right?
Because you're not his wife and kids.
Set buset.
My mom and I live alone.
Making money just to eat is a struggle.
We had no money,
moved from one rental house to another,
and even got kicked out by the landlord.
But him?
All he does
is get covered in flour every day.
I'm like, "When do we fry him?"
Too far? All right.
Just use the air fryer.
If you knew how nasty he was
to my mom and me,
you'd be saying,
"Set buset, that Keset guy is a bastard."
That's it from me. I'm Tawa. Thanks!
RESPECT, IT'S PAINFUL BUT FUNNY
IS HE REALLY YOUR DAD?
I ENDED UP CRYING WATCHING YOU.
FUNNY, YES. BUT IT HITS DEEP.
WHAT A STRONG KID
NICE!
THAT'S REALLY YOUR DAD?
SO RELATABLE. MY DAD LEFT TOO
KID: OPEN MIC, DAD: OPEN, LEAVE
CRAZY DARK HUMOR
WHAT'S GOING ON? CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN?
ASKING FOR REAL
YOUR STORY GAVE ME CHILLS.
POOR TAWA. SHE'S A GOOD KID.
THE SILENCED VOICE OF SOMEONE GROWING UP
WITHOUT A DAD ISN'T JUST A PERSONAL STORY.
IT SHOWS HOW MANY CHILDREN
BECOME VICTIMS OF TOXIC PARENTING.
SO FUNNY!
YOU WOULDN'T EXIST WITHOUT HIM
WISHING YOU SUCCESS. YOU'RE AMAZING.
OTW TO KESET'S ACCOUNRESPECT FOR OPENING UP
ABOUT PERSONAL STUFF
@SETBUSET SO, WHAT TO DO?
#ORPHANPROTECTORPHAN
I finally went viral! Yes!
Write down all your worries.
Use that as your premise.
PREMISE
True.
The life of a fatherless kid.
Passive orphan's POV. Many will relate.
Passive?
You're not an absolute, step,
functional, premium, or pro max orphan.
What does that mean?
Your dad's around, but he's useless.
- Right?
- Correct.
Tawa.
You should go last. People are waiting.
Sure.
Up next, the new big thing,
the most independent passive orphan,
Tawa!
I don't get it.
My dad never provided for my mom and me.
That's why names are like prayers.
His name is Keset.
His wallet's a desert.
Keset, desert.
Don't be a parent if you're not ready.
That's all from me, Tawa. Thank you!
People say children are a gift from God.
- But many parents treat it like junk mail.
- It's so funny.
When I found out who God left me with,
it wasn't God making a joke,
but my dad, a doormat.
THE GREATEST DEBUYou know how doormats say "Welcome"?
He isn't even welcoming at all.
Right?
He gets covered in flour every day.
Even I don't get it.
Is it his birthday every day?
There's always a celebration.
I want to be celebrated too!
I hope you have a good day.
Please forgive Jakarta's terrible air.
It's really polluted, right?
You're so funny.
Talking to plants.
This is my janda bolong,
the only plant I've managed to keep alive.
Well, same here.
I'm back.
- Hi.
- Tawa!
- Can I take a picture with you?
- Yes. Sure.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
I watched your show. You were hilarious.
Thank you so much.
That one.
Hey, I feel bad for your friend.
He talks to plants.
Don't be. He's a man of culture.
By the way,
what skin care products are you using?
- We use a lot.
- A lot.
I hate to say it,
but your skin seems a little dull and dry.
Dull?
I've got a product
that's great for our skin.
It helps your skin look glassy,
moisturized, and plump.
- Let me try.
- Go ahead.
Ms. Cantik uses it too.
She's a regular customer.
So?
- Smells like milk.
- Exactly.
Three dabs equals a glass of milk.
- Give me more.
- Try it.
Sorry. If you're not buying,
don't take too much.
Excuse me.
You've got to smell it, right?
I don't think you're using
your own products.
This is the before.
Before. Then...
- Then let me try again for good measure.
- We'll try again.
Don't fall for it. That product's a scam.
What are you and Fachri doing here?
Shouldn't you be helping my mom?
Where's Adin? It's getting busy.
- Adin!
- Hey, stop.
Din, come help my mom.
What do you want?
Who are you?
- You idiot!
- It's too early to be looking that scary!
I'm auditioning!
- Go help my mom!
- Gosh!
Take off those contact lenses! Idiot!
You're the idiot!
Have mercy, Ustad!
Have mercy!
Mom. Business is booming, huh?
So I'm getting royalties, right?
Miss Tawa!
- Oh, my God!
- Yes?
Your life is so tragic!
I'm fine.
I wish you greater success
and lots of good fortune.
Amen.
Thank you, miss.
Props to you both.
You've got the basics of cleaning nails.
Mom, no need to hire anyone else.
They're cheaper.
No, thank you, ma'am.
I'd rather
go back to gardening.
That won't help you make money.
I'm not built for it, ma'am.
- I'm terrible with details.
- What?
I'm sorry. It's not a lot.
- You don't have to.
- Thank you so much.
I'm serious. Thank you.
Fachri, this is yours.
Thank you for helping me today.
Are you sure?
- Yeah.
- Mom.
Do you have an extra?
They really don't mind.
It's okay.
I'm taking it.
I'm digging in.
You're rich. You don't need money.
This fried rice is amazing.
Rais?
Why? Not enough?
After two years of working away from home,
this is the first time
I've received a paycheck.
And it's not from stand-up comedy,
writing,
or selling skin care.
It was from
doing nail art.
Thank you so much.
May you be blessed.
Guys, check the split bill I sent
before you finish eating.
Hey!
Check the split bill.
My phone's plugged in in my room.
Just don't forget before you go to bed.
Pay the split bill first.
Eat up.
Rude.
No respect at all.
A split bill, seriously?
Just pay!
- I just got paid!
- Hey, don't worry about it.
Here's Fachri's share.
Thank you.
- Here.
- Don't touch me!
- Done?
- I paid mine.
- Got it. Thanks.
- Sure.
Ma'am, do I have to pay for the crackers?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello.
Yes?
Is this Tawa?
Yes, that's me.
I'm the producer for OTS
and I'd like you
to be a guest in two days.
Are you available?
Keset is no longer a cast here.
Yeah, filming starts soon.
- Mr. Santos.
- Yeah.
Hello.
Let's meet up after the shoot.
- Hello.
- Okay.
Right. I know.
Ms. Anggun.
How are you?
I'm good.
Miss, sir, I just wanted to let you know
that I'll be roasting you.
Do I need to show you what I wrote?
Hold up.
It's fine. Go ahead.
Make sure it's funny.
Yeah, don't worry about it.
Wow, the moon is so quiet.
Maybe it's Ramadan.
Help!
Someone, help!
The moon is beautiful.
There he is.
There he is.
I fell and it hurts.
Poor thing.
- Please heal her.
- She must recover.
Help!
Feels nice, right? Feeling better?
She's finally smiling.
- Where's your sway?
- Right.
- I forgot.
- Don't forget to sway.
But I think she's pissed.
Settle down now.
I heard she has a message
for the audience.
- Really?
- She said she'll be funny.
- We should give her a chance.
- Okay.
- Let's go there.
- Sure.
Oh, we're done?
Seriously, covered in flour?
Senior mentality, right?
Always picking on the young ones.
Ms. Anggun.
You're genuinely pretty,
but your stage costumes
are always so weird.
Your name means "graceful,"
but your look is a mess.
But it's better
than a messy career, right?
Japon.
Flashy but in debt.
Pay your friends before it gets viral.
Mr. Santos.
I respect him a lot.
In case you didn't know,
he overcame a dark period.
Why?
Because he used to be a drug user.
But he's clean now.
Right? Amazing.
Give him a round of applause.
So don't be surprised if the old Santos
was funnier than he is now.
- Tell her off!
- Talk to her.
That's all from me. I'm Tawa. Thanks.
Excuse me. I'm going home now.
Sorry if I said anything wrong earlier.
Excuse me.
Unbelievable!
I told them I was going to roast them!
I got floured too, but I didn't get mad
even though
I told the producer I didn't want that.
This is for you, Tawa.
I'll take it.
This is yours.
I knew you'd come.
Thank you.
Tawa, you did great. You were funny.
I'm so glad my talent runs in you.
Did you write that yourself or...
Talent?
I learned it on my own.
I write my own jokes, research,
practice, and think.
It's not just flour and slapstick comedy.
Let's go. Come on.
- Come on!
- Just do it to me.
Just me.
Don't drag them in.
There's still a lot about me.
I have plenty of flaws
for you to write about.
Let me help you.
Help?
Too late!
Twenty years too late
and all you did was vanish.
Iyas, come on!
- See you.
- Yeah.
At least take this.
It's just weird.
Running into him
at this age feels so surreal.
It's like seeing the dead
come back to life.
That sounds more like horror.
I'll just eat this.
I HOPE YOU LIKE ITERATAI RAYA STREET, BLOCK C20
Tawa.
I'm good.
You have to try this.
Typical Keset.
Even his lunchbox tastes funny.
What? No.
Come on.
- I don't need it.
- Just a bite.
The guys from the community
asked me to pass this on to you.
Hope it helps you end your day
on a good note.
I was going to give it earlier,
but the mood was too tense.
- What is it?
- Open it.
Iyas.
Is this real? This isn't a prank, right?
Finally!
I'm so happy!
Finally, some good news!
One of my prayers came through!
If all our wishes came true,
we'd probably forget
how to pray and be grateful.
Iyas.
Say it again.
- What?
- What you just said!
Like a quote on TikTok.
Click it.
- Again.
- Again.
It's tilted.
Do it properly.
- Wa.
- Yeah.
Have you got your materials ready?
It's probably going to be about him.
But I'm not sure.
Pretty sure I've said everything.
Here. Maybe this can help you.
Din, you want an old man's number?
Dumbass.
You want me to be your stepmom?
Hell no! Why would I contact him?
My dear!
Shut up.
But you know,
just treat it as a way
to get new materials.
- Right?
- I agree.
Go see him.
If you're scared, we'll go with you.
No.
We'll go together. Are you in? Yes.
- Are you?
- Yes.
Count me out.
Just a moment.
Just a moment!
Who the hell is it?
A protest?
Almost 20 years ago,
you left my mom and me with nothing.
Don't worry.
I'm not here to ask for money
or hold you accountable.
Because I'm lucky that I had a tough mom
who raised me by herself.
She worked hard every day for me
and made me who I am today.
I paid for all my phones
and laptops myself.
I took installments, but they're paid off.
Because I make my own money.
Many people are surprised, saying,
"How come she and her mom are so strong?"
"She grew up without a dad
and her mom's been single the whole time."
You left us with months of rent overdue.
Over there, my friends are ready
to protect me from bad people.
I came here just to see
the regret in your eyes,
to turn it into new stand-up material.
After that, I'll go back to the stage
and tell more stories about the pain
of growing up without a father.
Would you like to eat?
I'm in the middle of cooking.
She's going in?
It's all right. We'll wait here.
- Isn't she angry?
- What are you doing?
For the transition effect.
I'm sure you haven't had this in forever.
This is for you
Tawa?
Did Dad leave because of me?
He left us.
He's a bad guy.
- Tawa!
- Tawa!
See you. My dad's here.
This is you, your mom, and who is this?
My dad.
But you don't have a dad.
Says the one whose dad stinks!
Once I have a job,
I'll buy you a big house.
It'll have three big rooms.
One for me, one for you,
and one for dad if he ever comes back.
One room each.
That way, you two won't fight.
Thank you,
but I'll get you a big house
before you do.
- Would you like that?
- Yeah.
Relax.
I'm not asking you to come or vote.
I just want one thing.
Pray that I win.
This event is presented by Blu,
a new bank from the BCA Group.
All right, let's welcome
our next performance.
Give it up for Tawa!
- Tawa!
- Tawa!
Hello, I'm Tawa.
And I'm Keset's daughter.
NO TAWA, NO LAUGHTER.
To be honest,
it's kind of embarrassing to admit.
Because he's never improved.
From when I was a kid till now,
he's been a doormat.
He should've worked harder.
Maybe he'd level up into a carpet.
Every time I pass by the doormats
at a furniture store, I think to myself,
"That's my dad."
I used to wonder where he disappeared to.
Who knew he ended up with a dustpan?
My mom's competition
is literally a dustpan.
Just for a doormat.
I'm Tawa. Thank you.
Now that was loud!
Let's give it up once more for Tawa!
MY HEART IS FULL OF TAWA
- Amazing.
- Let's go, Tawa!
All right, without further ado,
let's hear the judges' comments.
Please, judges.
I like your act today,
but this is a long competition.
I don't think you can last long
if you're just complaining about your dad.
Look around you.
There's still so much you can talk about.
Not every emotion has to be anger.
You have to explore.
Especially if you make it to next week,
since the theme's going to be
Love as the theme for round two?
I don't get that stuff.
I don't even have a boyfriend.
You got this.
A lot of movies
have hate turning into love.
True.
Nothing's impossible in this world.
True.
But it's fiction, dumb-ass.
That's true.
But why do you want to win so badly?
You can still perform a stand-up
even if you lose.
I want to prove
that I'm better than my dad.
So my mom believes in me.
You compete with the other contestants,
not your dad.
Anyway,
what you really should do
is go see your dad.
See if he has any love in him.
See him while you still have the chance.
Because I can't.
More like
I don't know who my dad is.
It's fine.
He's a foreigner. Handsome.
Unlike you guys.
Do you want to see my dad instead?
Such tacky decor for such a big house.
Why so many rooms?
That's the storage room.
And over here is my room.
There's one more room.
Want to see?
Here it is.
Just come in.
Come on.
This room
Is for you.
Well
I always hoped that
one day,
you'd show up
and live here.
Oh, right.
There it is.
Here.
I've been collecting comics as well.
Remember when you were small and told us,
"Mom, Dad, I want to collect comics
so I can be a comedian when I grow up."
Oh, no.
I think my cooking is burnt. Let's eat.
The mother is Cantik, the father is Keset.
The daughter's Kusut.
-The mother is Cantik, the father is Keset.
-The father is Keset.
-The daughter's Kusut.
-The daughter's Kusut.
-The mother is Cantik, the father is Keset.
-Dad!
Set buset!
Hold me up too!
Keset, Keset, Keset.
What are you doing?
Hello, little booger!
I want to do your makeup,
but close your eyes.
Anjay Group!
Aman Jaya!
- One heart, countless laughs!
- One heart, countless laughs!
- Anjay! Anjay!
- Anjay! Anjay!
Dear, help!
- Can we get one room for four?
- Please.
No!
You can't hug my dad!
He belongs to Mom!
My mom's pretty, not like you.
You're safe now, Dad.
The egg is laughing.
I hurt you.
I'm sorry.
Why haven't you apologized to Mom yet?
Don't tell me you can't?
Approach her nicely,
ask to talk privately,
look her in the eye and say,
"I'm sorry. I regret what I did."
You could at least text her saying sorry.
It's hard.
Excuses.
Excuse?
The excuse died,
causing the circuit to break.
It sounded like
That's a fuse.
Everything's a joke to you.
It's not like that, Tawa.
I just don't know how.
Do you know that what you did is wrong?
How can you fix things
if you can't even apologize?
Or maybe you don't even feel guilty.
Tawa.
I'm just afraid.
I'm afraid I might let you
and your mom down again.
Forget it.
Please hear me out.
Please.
I'm begging you.
No amount of money I save
or how well I choose my words
can compare to what you went through
with your mom without me.
Dear.
Tawa.
Being this close to you
feels more than enough.
I didn't realize, Tawa.
That time flew by so fast.
Suddenly, you're grown up,
beautiful,
and funny.
Dear.
If
I ever get
That second chance,
I promise
I'll do my best for you and your mother.
I'm sorry.
Please accept me.
Don't. You'll mess it up.
That's fake?
Stay here. I need to grab something.
Set buset.
Let's go.
Drive safely, Iyas!
Take care.
THANKS, DEAR. COME HERE AGAIN
YOU'RE WELCOME
UGLY
Did Dad leave because of me?
He left us.
He's a bad guy.
Use these
to get your nails done.
And also a tip for Ms. Cantik.
Since I'm a passive orphan,
I often feel bad for my mom
for being a single fighter.
I thought about finding love for her,
like matching her with a rich widower.
But it's hard,
not because widowers are hard to find,
but it's hard to find one
who'd want a divorcee.
Multiple choice is out of the question.
He thinks it's funny.
You want a divorcee?
Sure, if I can find one.
There he is.
How dare you sit in the director's chair?
You're nothing but a janitor!
Why become a doormat?
Is it fun getting bullied like that?
- not the bag!
- Take off your clothes!
Hey!
Why become a doormat?
So, you're the director?
That's just
My fashion.
Passion, yeah.
So, yeah.
Basically,
in comedy,
there's a role called
the butt of the joke.
And I prefer that.
Someone being made fun of.
The others could be the ones striking.
Life's like that too.
Sometimes joy
counts more after tears.
- Nice.
- Good one.
Sure.
So you know the theories?
Of course.
Eat more.
No.
I've been eating that all my life.
Always fritters.
Offer TV next time.
The TV at our place is broken.
I ate that all my childhood.
- How am I supposed to turn out smart?
- Sure, let's go.
Come on. Geez, my foot.
Mr. Keset?
Set buset!
Welcome to Rajawali Electronics.
How can I help you?
Yes, I need a TV.
- A water dispenser.
- Okay.
A fridge.
Do you need AC too?
No, the house doesn't have enough power.
Those ones.
You have the money?
Underestimating a capital-city celebrity,
I see.
Miss, please take care of it.
Yes, sir.
So, which one do you want?
I don't know.
You got a PlayStation?
A PlayStation?
We don't have it.
Oh, I see.
Check.
One, two,
- three.
- Gosh.
- Low.
- What is he doing?
I'm so sorry.
Check, check.
What are you doing?
So embarrassing.
That's such an old song.
Seriously?
I'm sure in my heart.
You're the one I need.
I feel like it's only you.
Who makes me miss you.
When you're finally mine.
I'm sure your love.
Won't be divided and won't turn away.
Because I know that's just who you are.
Because I know that's just who you are.
I'll make sure to wait.
No matter how long it takes.
For the love I feel.
That's only for you.
Trust me, I mean it.
Everything I said.
Be sure in your heart that you're mine.
Because I know that's just who you are.
- That's you.
- As if!
-Because I know that's just who you are
-Wait, a photo booth!
Come here!
Dad, come on.
-When you're finally mine.
-When you're finally mine.
-I'm sure your love.
-I'm sure your love.
-Won't be divided and won't turn away.
-Won't be divided and won't turn away.
-Because I know that's just who you are.
-Because I know that's just who you are.
-Because I know that's just who you are.
-Because I know that's just who you are.
- Music.
- Music.
It says music.
Music.
Why are you crying?
We're doing something fun.
There's a video too!
Water dispenser, air purifier, TV,
I'm off to bed now.
You don't seem happy.
Since you've been busy,
I've felt like you've grown distant.
I'm worried you'll leave me.
I won't, Mom.
I'm working hard
so you can have a good life
and don't have to work anymore.
Mom.
I asked for your permission back then.
Please trust me.
I can make you proud.
Tawa.
All that matters to me is your happiness.
I just want you to be happy.
Enjoy your life for your own sake.
At first, stand-up comedy was so much fun.
But over time,
I feel like I'm hurting
the people closest to me.
Everyone.
My mom.
Maybe you too someday.
I feel like every job has its risks.
When I'm sewing,
there are times I argue with Nini
over different tastes.
It is what it is.
Like,
it's not your fault
nor the job's fault.
Just keep in mind that
your life is more important
than your work.
You're up next.
Okay.
Good luck.
Tawa!
Come on.
3 MINUTES LEFLet's go, Tawa!
3 MINUTES LEF- Tawa!
- Tawa!
You're lying to me.
What are you doing?
Just go home.
Get off! Get off the stage!
Get off!
Get off now!
- Come on, Tawa.
- Get off!
- Get off the stage!
- Come on, Tawa.
- Come on.
- Now!
- Tawa.
- Get off!
- Come on, Tawa.
- Get off!
Respect.
- That girl, really.
- Stop. Don't you dare.
- She's going to feel even worse.
- There she is.
Congratulations.
That was quite a spectacle.
A bomb!
- Stop it, Le.
- Let her learn her lesson.
- Let her learn her lesson.
- Stop. Her friends are here.
Tell your friend
that her performance just now
makes our community look bad!
No. As if you could pass the audition.
- Cocky, are you?
- I don't care.
- I'll keep an eye on you.
- Hey, that's enough.
- What now?
- Thanks.
Sir, come on.
Just go.
Hello. How are you?
Drop the formality.
You moved without notice.
Running away, huh?
No, I'm still saving up. I'm almost there.
So where is it?
I heard your kid got famous on TV.
Tell her to come out!
Not so loud. She's sleeping.
Ms. Tia, let me know your bank details.
I'll transfer them.
Trying to challenge me?
I've even printed it for you.
My bank account and QRIS.
I'll be waiting.
Don't just joke around. I can't laugh.
See? Because you haven't paid.
If you pay
I'll laugh easily.
Pay up. I'll be waiting.
No transfer so far.
My phone is still silent.
Make me laugh, Tawa! Not cry!
Pay up!
You all have to pay!
I don't care whose account. Just pay!
If you can hear me, you still owe me!
I'll only be quiet after you pay up!
Tawa.
Tawa.
What are you doing here, Dad?
What if Mom sees you?
Are you okay?
Your friends and I have been
looking for you. Are you okay?
I'm okay, really.
I'm okay, so you should go.
I've read your materials.
They were great.
I'd like to see you perform it sometime.
Okay, but we should go now.
- You promise?
- Yes, but let's go! Mom can't see us.
Hurry.
RISPEK STALL
Excuse me.
What do you need?
A vacation?
Or Pilates?
Padel?
What are you saying? Drink your coffee.
I just want you to be happy.
I'm okay.
Don't give up.
Never give up,
no matter how many times you fail.
You're funny.
And if you feel this is your calling,
you have to keep trying.
I want to order.
Thanks.
I think I want to take a break
from stand-up comedy.
I want to get a proper job
to help Mom out.
What do you do now?
Nothing.
Being a comedian on TV is hard nowadays.
Your comic friends run the scene.
Maybe I should try stand-up?
Yes. That's a great idea.
I'll help you.
I can be your comedy buddy.
Where do we even start?
When you left Mom and me.
Set buset!
We'll start with the three things
that make people laugh.
The unexpected, superiority, and relief.
We expect one thing,
but the truth is something else.
For example, you're a successful comedian.
You're supposed to be a good dad,
yet you're not.
In stand-up, you should be able
to laugh at yourself.
It's called self-deprecation.
Being able to joke about your own sadness.
For example
My dad and I used to play hide-and-seek.
I'd close my eyes and search,
but couldn't find him.
And he shows up 20 years later.
I had no choice but to listen.
When I blew the trumpet, they went
Your punch line is good,
but it takes too long.
The story leading up to it is too long.
Make it shorter.
Are you happy I got eliminated?
I'm just kidding.
Even though I don't prefer you
to go into comedy,
I am sad that
you couldn't achieve your dream.
Oh, please, dreams?
Can commoners like us even dream?
You can't say that.
We can.
You should always dream.
My fringe!
What?
Come to our open mic.
I'll pass. I'm on a hiatus.
Who even are you?
Just come.
You'll be back for more.
You should go.
Better to leave than stress here.
You're not coming, ma'am?
It's Saturday night. Keep Tawa company.
It's open mic night.
With a surprise guest
you wouldn't expect.
- Let's welcome
- Welcome
-Our special guest,
-Our special guest,
- Keset!
- Keset!
Give it up for Keset!
Come on up.
How are you, sir?
I'm good.
I meant your family.
Our first comic of the night,
Adin!
Thank you, Nasi.
Mr. Keset.
As a father, he's independent,
optimistic, and passionate about his job.
It's no surprise he's thriving
in entertainment.
Work is less stressful
when you don't think about family.
I'd rather have a real doormat
than this dude.
A real doormat costs less than a dollar.
But this one? Worthless.
Even his daughter makes fun of him.
Tawa likes to share stories about Kusut.
- Keset!
- Keset!
If you don't mind, how old are you?
Forty-seven.
That's pretty old.
Sorry, but when you pass away,
will your inheritance be cash
or Styrofoam?
Adin.
Enough.
I don't like seeing people
make fun of my dad.
It's a comedy club, Tawa.
Not everything can be a joke.
- Tawa.
- Just calm down.
This is for you.
For me?
I never asked for this.
- You never asked me.
- It wasn't you.
It's your dad.
I asked them to do this.
Plus, I get to learn
how to do an open mic.
- Just stop it.
- We're doing this
to get your stand-up mood back.
You think I'm just not in the mood?
You all think this is funny?
You don't know how I feel.
Don't act like you do!
You never open up.
How could we have known?
- Tawa!
- Your receipt and change.
- I'll go get your drink.
- Okay.
- Tawa.
- You're supposed to defend me, not them.
Didn't you want to be a good dad?
A good dad can disagree
with their child and...
They don't know anything about us!
Only I get to make fun of you.
Mom, I'm going to sleep first.
Just a moment.
- The number you've dialed is unavailable.
- Shit.
To leave a message, please call
Ma'am, I'd like nail art.
Are you open?
No, my mom went outside.
Mom!
Fachri, have you seen my mom?
I ran out of water.
Time to refill.
Din, have you seen her?
Adin.
Adin.
I don't know.
Okay, yes.
I got it. I'll get to it today.
Good morning!
Unstoppable!
Yes.
Tawa.
I'm not the brightest among us,
but I know one thing.
There's a time for jokes
and a time to be serious.
We asked your dad's permission.
And he said okay.
How can we succeed
when we're given a chance to run an event
but aren't united?
Have you ever tried to understand us?
We're the ones always listening to you.
Just so you know,
others struggle too.
You're not
Amazing.
Rude.
You really should pick
your friends wisely here in Jakarta.
Idiot.
I'm tired.
Just when I'm about to be happy,
everyone leaves me.
Even my parents couldn't stick around.
Do you know your mom's close friend?
Maybe she's there.
I know where she is,
but I don't understand
why she won't come home.
Why does it look like this?
It's a different color.
What, you hate it?
You're going to leave me too?
No. It's just a different color.
- Mom.
- Calm down.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Did you take your meds?
Did you eat?
Let's go home.
Are you listening to me?
When have I ever not listened to you?
I've always put you first.
I've worked all this time for you.
You're all I have.
Yet you lie to me so easily.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Now you want to live with him?
He can help you
achieve your dreams, right?
No, I want to be with you.
I'm here to look for you.
You left me.
Yes.
I left you
because you don't need me.
No, I need you.
Not everyone is as lucky as your dad.
To have fulfilled his dreams.
But I only have one option.
You.
I chose you.
But clearly,
you didn't choose me.
You're happy with him now.
All right.
I accept it.
Just a second.
What's going on?
The helmet.
Helmet.
Thanks, Iyas.
What happened?
She had a fight with her mom.
Tawa.
The dishes are cleaned.
It'll be extra clean.
You should go to bed.
Just let me do whatever I want!
Everyone's telling me what to do.
Being a comedian has its ups and downs,
but mostly downs.
Sometimes I get used
as a punching bag, ostracized,
dusted with flour,
or made to look like a clown.
But
What clown looks this handsome?
But well, I'm grateful.
I became a comedian.
That's where I found my livelihood.
Even though my income as a comedian is
Not much.
We, comedians, joke a lot.
Even our pay's a joke.
So funny.
My name's Keset. Thank you.
Honestly, instead of wasting energy
on stand-up,
you'd better learn how to be a dad first.
Teach your kid not to be weak.
Set buset.
Just look at her.
She's got daddy issues thanks to who?
Always craving attention.
Clearly starved for affection.
If no one keeps an eye on her...
Tawa
Sorry for bothering you.
We just need a favor.
- Maybe you can talk to...
- Tawa!
Tawa?
Is she home?
Don't bother looking for Tawa!
I've heard it all from them.
You acted miserable, pretended to be poor
just to make Tawa pity you
and forgive you, right?
What are you doing here?
Just keep running! Go away!
Disappear for good!
I was wrong for not apologizing to you,
but it's because I was scared.
Hasan.
Since you left, I've learned
to handle everything by myself.
I don't want to get hurt again.
I just want a peaceful life,
for Tawa and for me,
without you in it.
Without me?
I'm sorry.
I just wanted to make you and Tawa happy.
I thought I had it all figured out,
but I ruined everything.
Perhaps you're right.
I don't deserve to be forgiven.
Why can't you just forgive him?
I know you've been tired
of doing everything alone,
but stop pretending to be so tough!
I was a mistake, wasn't I?
I shouldn't have been born.
If I didn't exist,
maybe you two wouldn't fight.
No.
Maybe you two would
get to do what you want now.
I'm just your burden.
Tawa.
Tawa's got it rough,
having a dad like you
And a mom like me.
We're sorry, Hasan.
We didn't mean to borrow money from Indah.
We just wanted her help
so we can talk to you.
We're sorry.
I've spent almost half my life
with you guys.
I've always put you first.
We're not performing every day.
Can't I
just this once,
have what I need and what I want?
Set buset.
Sorry for barging in.
The gate's open.
Hasan.
I have to go.
Indah, see you.
He means well.
Get along, you two. Okay?
Indah.
I'm sorry.
Yesterday, I...
Hasan.
I'm going back.
Don't worry about it too much.
Send my regards to Tawa.
Indah.
Yesterday,
I was
They left?
I should go too. Sorry.
- Indah...
- It's fine.
I forgive you.
Tawa is strong.
She's strong for having parents like us.
She used to wait for you by the door,
always asking, "When's Dad coming home?"
Always.
When she's with you,
she never stops laughing.
She's always been that bright, funny kid.
I know she looks up to you.
I shouldn't have taken out
my anger at you on her.
I should've kept your principle.
No matter the problem,
face it with a laugh.
It'll make it easier to bear.
Hasan.
If we have to get back together for Tawa,
let's do it.
Let's make Tawa happy.
Maybe this is our last chance
to be good parents.
Sayonara, sayonara.
Don't worry, Mom.
No more being a comedian.
I'm going to be an entrepreneur.
Wait, let me give this to Nasi.
Hey, Rais.
Now that's a smash.
- You just stayed quiet.
- It's padel.
What's padel?
It's a kind of sport.
The one where you hit the ball
Our shoes?
Ma'am, it's okay. Don't.
Please forgive Tawa.
I can't accept this.
Look at this. I got two stitches.
I've got proof.
I'll show it to you
Why is he here? Let's talk
about this later. Don't delete it.
Why is he here?
Excuse me, ma'am. No outside food allowed.
It's fine.
I'm sorry.
Forgive me.
I'm Tawa's mom.
I brought some food. Please have some.
And I want to ask you guys a favor.
If Tawa comes back,
I hope you can help her.
Tawa's dad is not that funny
and I don't really get stand-up.
If someday,
both of us are no longer around
and she needs help,
please help her.
Because
if she asks for help,
it means
She has no other choice.
Okay?
Is it spicy?
No.
Let's eat.
Welcome to Dekoruma. How can I help you?
I want to check out the kitchen set.
They're over here. Follow me.
Here's one of our kitchen set designs.
It includes a marble kitchen island.
And you can customize the glass
or replace it with wood.
Come home.
I've got to work, so I won't be a burden.
There, my boss, a total Kesetmania.
She wants a picture.
Your mom is waiting at home.
Your mom's been through a lot,
always taking on everything by herself.
Sometimes, she snaps at you,
but it's not because she dislikes
or resents you.
It's because she's furious with herself
for feeling like
she wasn't a good mother to you
and for not giving you an easy life.
That's all your mother ever wanted.
But you know,
she is
The best mother I've ever known.
When you're angry or frustrated
and need to let it out,
don't take it out on her.
Try to hold back
and just talk to me instead.
Okay?
Yes.
Let's get married.
Get married?
What can you offer me?
I can give you laughter every day.
I can give you anything.
Anything.
I want
my own salon.
I'll build it.
What else? That can't be all.
I want
To be a good mother for my children.
Also,
as for our kid, let's name them
Tawa.
So every day is full of laughter
and we can live happily forever.
Thank you.
- Nice, right?
- Yeah.
It's funny.
- Tawa.
- Tawa.
Tawa.
I used to believe a kid's mistakes
were the parents' responsibility.
But I've messed up as well.
It's my first time going through life
as their child.
And it's also their first time
learning how to be parents.
But it's not about
figuring out who's to blame.
It's how we deal with the problem.
Right?
And you're watching Jalinan Kasih.
Maybe it was naive of me.
TEST RESULT ANNOUNCEMENBut when my dad left,
I thought he was the worst,
a failed father.
One, two, three.
I made it!
Mom! I got into UGM! I'm going to college!
I'm going to college!
Wait! I want to call my friends!
But I've come to realize
Adin! Nasi! I got into college!
that being a parent never ends.
Hello, Iyas! I got into UGM!
- There are no failed fathers.
- Will you send me off?
They're just fathers
who never stop trying for their families.
It's not a comedy show now.
