After gaining high praise from the viewers with its superb production, Kapamilya crime suspense thriller Dirty Linen went viral again, but this time for its spot-on humor.
In the February 3 episode featuring the chase scene between Ador (Epy Quizon) and Stella (Rans Ripol), Stella tried to ask for help from Mila (Janine Gutierrez) through text message.
However, eagle-eyed netizens were able to capture the phone screen with the text “sa may benitez keme.” The scene quickly drew laughter from the netizens and has since gone viral on social media.
Twitter user @iskolarium couldn’t help but laugh out loud with the funny instance as he tweeted, “Yung papatayin ka na pero di ka sure kung nasan ka. HAHAHAHAHA! FOTA!”

Other netizens, meanwhile, shared how relatable the scene is because of Stella’s use of the colloquial word “keme.”
