Bro. :) Czechia and Chechnya are vastly different places. :) Czechia is essentially in the center of Europe, nestled between Austria, Germany and Poland. It's the place where the Reformation started, when they threw a Catholic bishop out the window the the biggest church in Prague. Chechnya is a republic of Russia, it's a Muslim country, famous for their capital city having been wiped out by the Russians during the Chechen wars. There's about 2000 km distance between them, or the equivalent of the distance from Florida to Venezuela. :) Estonia and Georgia - again, they're both neighbors of Russia, but they're vastly different countries in vastly different places. The Baltic countries are, as their name says, next to the Baltic sea. Georgia is in the Caucasus region, between Russia and Turkey. Again, Estonia and Georgia are about 2000 km apart from each other. Not the same general area either.
About the Poles working abroad - specifically being the "mexicans" of Europe its just a stereotype from the 90's / 00's. Nowadays its safe to say that without Polish doctors and nurses the German healthcare system would be in big trouble, so its not just construction workers that emigrated after Poland joined the EU. The stereotype comes from the fact that Poland simply is the biggest eastern block country that joined the EU and its not even close. For example, due to population differences it was 4 times as likely to encounter a construction worker from Poland as from Hungary. And that stereotype that Poles are not the smartest is also just a stereotype. PISA studies (OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment) shows that Poland is consistently among the top ranking countries of how well educated kids are able to receive an education (that statistic is flawed, because it doesn't include kids that don't get any education or just primary school education, so countries like China are ranking way higher here than in the case of studying entire school aged populations). In all honesty I have no clue why that stereotype even exists considering that only Estonians and Slovenians have similar or better education.
Yes we Poles are intelligent. This means we understand how world works and how fucked up it is so to cope with that we drink at least liter of vodka daily.
stereotype about dumb Poles is pretty unique to US. It essentially comes from around XIX century - in US (just like other catholic nations - Italians or Irish as well as black or native people) were heavily discriminated against and were limited mostly to manual labour. Later during communism people who managed to emigrate had to US usually didn't spoke english and their degrees were not recognized. It spawned a dumb Polack joke line and steorotype stuck. It doesn't exist in any other part of the world (mayby waaay back in Germany)
In America, a lot of the "stereotypes" actually started with the German/Russian propaganda, from the war time, but even before, from the time if Partitions. It's an interesting topic, basically the occupying powers were trying to present Polish people as this lesser type of people, who are too incompetent/ unworthy of having their own country.
As a Pole, I know that people in other countries think with stereotypes, it's better to listen to those who have already been to Poland and saw with their own eyes what it really is like.

The Baltics are actually not similar to russians at all...like seriously :D have lived in Estonia most of my life and russians and estonians couldnt be more differnet , people used to get soo offended in here if tourists all assumed that we speak russian( we dont mostly) :D overall the baltic states have done everything they can to distance the,mselves from Russia , soviet times were awful for us, reason why eastern europe isnt developed more is because we have had psychopath neighbour holding us back :D thing is that russians just have done soo much awful stuff to us, occupied us, massacred us, deported us to siberian gulags and so on, thats why we are not happy with them and rightfully so
As a Lithuanian I completely agree! But personally I don't get offended by Americans putting us together with the ruskies. I think, for the Americans, if you're not into geography/European history or foreign politics, how are you supposed to know about our tiny countries? Sure, maybe you've heard of us (not to brag, but we, Lithuanians have a few good basketball players in the NBA lol), but you won't know anything specific about us, nothing to distinguish us from the general stereotype of Eastern Europe/russia. P.S. The stereotype about our food is wrong! I promise, like 90% of the time there's nothing moving in our food!
Its all about education and educating the west the history of the Baltics or people will always compare your Baltics countries to Russia due to the infrastructure, architecture and language.
Russians and everyone else don't really care about you baltics. All 3 Baltic countries barely have a 2 millions population and already shrinking😂 . You'll legit disappear in just couple decades. Not to mention every Baltic state is comprised of AT LEAST 20% Russians
Inderdaad Milo , Poolse mensen werken niet alleen op de bouw , hier in Nederland werken zei in allerlei sectoren en als wij de Europeanen niet hadden , dan zou de Nederlandse economie het een stuk minder doen , gr . uit Nederland voor mijn Poolse vrienden .
As dude from Poland i know that world see us as "eastern european", but they ussualy forget, that Europe end on Ural Mountains, not on border with Russia ^^ But we dont care, everyone know how bad with geography are americans ^^
That's because Western and Eastern Europe division is NOT about geography. It's about politics, economics and culture. Poland is literally THE definition of Eastern Europe. No one is more Eastern European than Poland, not even Russia itself.
@@damyr we are center, because we literally don't care about west and East. Eu union (who is definition of west) can do shit in our country (because no one can tell us what to do), and we hate everyone on east. For us "east" is full of enemy's.
Russia is not an european country, they are based on golden horde rulling system rather than having any connection with europe. For example european towns started from market place, meanwhile russian towns starts with fortrece
Poland is Direct in the center of Europe. Distance from Warsaw to the Moscow is the same like distance from Warsaw to Paris. Distance from Warsaw to the Atlantic shore in Portugal is the same like distance from Warsaw to the Ural mountain na which are eastern border of Europe.
2 words: *Warsaw Pact* Poland is literally the heart of the Eastern Europe. No country in the whole universe can be more Eastern-European than Poland. xD
anything stuck in a barrel with vinegar for half a year - yes, thats very good food in my opinion, seems like Poles and Ukrainians like the same kind of food. We actualy know that this is natural probiotic. :)
You don't look like a Czech or Chechen. Czechs are fair, the Chechens are not as much. Many Chechens have distinct facial features that you don't have, so I wonder who suggested it.
Just so you know, there are some more countries in Eastern Europe not mentioned in this video: Slovenia, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Estonia, Croatia, Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia and Kosovo. As for Poland, maybe we are not like Floridians, but we have some crazy people here. And comparing us to Mexico would be fair some years ago, but we are slowly approaching standard of living of Germany. So I guess we are now somwhere between Mexico and Canada, as compared to USA..
@@Marina_-_-Eastern Europe is an outdated and deeply flawed term. It refers to every post-communism country. So it includes all countries from the USSR, other Warsaw Pact members and Yugoslavia. It is not a geographic or ethnic term.
Brian's Polish / Mexican workforce analogy is quite on point actually. In France our brillant politicians used the "Polish Plumber" as a meme (yeah a meme from the 90s) to describe the invasion of cheap labor from eastern europe as a source of all french unemployment problems. More seriously in my region of northern France, Polish people play a huge part of our historical immigration, we actually have some Polish dishes now that are considered local delicacies and Polish last names are very much the norm in this part of France. This is due to an immigration policy signed between France and Poland in the 19th century, to bring tens of thousands of families to work in the coal mines. Northern France was one of the coal hot spots, along with textile manufacturing, during the industrial revolution. The last mines closed in the 70s or 80s, and is now a world heritage site. It also produced a few strange "pyramids" overlooking the very flat landscape.
Poland did not exist in the political sense in the 19th century - emigration was the result of repression against Poles after two failed uprisings against the Russian occupier and the participation of Poles in the Napoleonic Wars on the side of France.
well since my fellow trolls don't bother to actually check anything, i did. My mistake was not that it was not poland, because of course everyone knows that when a region gets occupied or joins a wider group its people magically disappears, but that it actually happened in the early 20th century when poland was shortly sovereign. I got influenced by Zola's book and whenever i think of coal mines here i think 19th century. And so another interesting point was that a good number of them came from Germany where they were also working in the mines. oh and i recently heard again about the infamous "Polish Plumber" and it was actually used around 2005 and not in the 90s. The Polish tourism office created an advertisement campaign using that meme, and to mock our glorious French politicians.
They were speaking polish. The video was made in German bus (in Poland we sometimes buy used cars from germany) and cyrylic is often used as a 3 language in instructions
If that doesn't work with the Czechs because of the risk of confusion, you can also use the geographical term Bohemia and Bohemians... And of course the Bohemians are the most German Slavs. We were in a common empire, connected to each other, for many centuries. That's why, for example, there is more of a Central European cuisine, with regional specialties (which is partly due to the same agricultural products, the same climate and soil conditions), than a specifically German, Swiss or Austrian cuisine. And of course that includes Bohemia and Moravia...
as far as i know the guy is Hungarian-Serbian and lives in hungary i bellive but overall those stereotypes are not from the countries he talk about but from abroad mostly from the west and some of them for me were new and Czecha, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia are Central Europe even though Slovakia is more east minded. And other funny thing he said at the beggining that anything east of vienna is Russia in denial meanwhile Vinne si more on the east than Prague capital of Czechia lmao
Many of those videos were not created in the country that was described. It is not very informative and not very accurate but it was funny a little bit. I am from what you call an Eastern European country called Slovakia.
Why is there still intolerance between Western and Eastern Europeans today? That is economic racism. Today, almost 40 years after the fall of communism, the differences in wages in Western and Eastern Europe, as well as in the standard of living, are enormous and multiple. A lot of young people from Eastern Europe immigrate to Western Europe and mostly do the hardest jobs there. But there they don't earn 500 or 1000 euros, but 3 or 4 thousand. Why can't the countries of Eastern Europe recover financially even in 40 years of capitalism? Well, because corrupt politicians sold all the banks and good companies for nothing to Western Europeans. Today, the countries of Eastern Europe are colonies of Western Europe, which extracts billions of euros from them. That is why they are failing both economically and demographically!
That's only half of the whole truth. Yes, it is the problem that we sold everything in 90s and western companies treat us as a second grade people, selling worse quality food for higher price than in the west etc.....but those companies were bankrupting in early 90s and were not able to compete in capitalist market without western money and investments. Like for example Škoda Auto, it would probably not exist now if Germans didn't buy. And another problem is that corrupt politicians stole everything and again - west is not responsible for that, we did it by ourselves. And even worse thing is that people still vote these criminals.
You are right in some things and overall description but wrong on conclusion. We are part of EU, each country pays something to EU budget and takes something from EU budget. Through all 21st century Germany and sometimes France are the only two countries paying more than taking. Doesn't seem like "western Europe sucks easterners blood and money. I consider being wrong but for me it looks more like (I'm not talking exclusively or mostly about Poland, there's much more countries in Eastern Europe. I'm not going to pretend to be expert on neighbors, but right now I don't see the reason why would it be much different. In Baltic region 2 out of 3 countries were almost never independent in last... Many centuries. So my theory of "why are they still much worse economically then the west" is that when they broke free from USSR, majority of people with power and some kind of control over something valuable, weren't so optimistic about "how long is it going to last before some random country will invade and make us part of their territory. As usual." So with this idea only reasonable thing you can do (as person with power) is to milk own population, extracting as much money as possible as fast as possible, also selling land and property quick. Then boom, we're part of EU, which means some promise of safety, EU shooting money this direction, so much precious money to steal.. But usually when someone gets a source of income, people keep using it as long as they can. So alongside EU money, state budget also keeps being mostly stolen. Why not when you can? 😅😅 Other important thing is depopulation. As soon as door opened, many (like, really a lot) of people instead of "be hungry for some time" and rebuild own state decided to move to those "rich" countries to make money there. When quarter of population abandons country it's not helping. You insist "Poland is sentral jourop!" 1. No. Main reasons for you standing economically look like "Germany gives you money as form of being sorry for our past, your country is relatevly big and population can recover loss of quantity quicker. Also you have weird thing called national pride so as soon as Poland showed signs of development and people started to come home which also helps a lot. Being honest with you, personally I find Poles saying "we're not Eastern Europe!" all the time quite upsetting. So instead of being a sort of a leader of Eastern Europe, an example of development, instead of saying "we are LIKE other countries in the west now. Hey, neighbors, we are friends and brothers, let me help you to catch up and join us on our journey to development ", no, instead more successful you become more you start to say things like "oooo, I ekshully never was part of this group of poor stupid losers, look at the map, look at the map, we are CENTER!!!!! Don't call us Eastern Europe, it's an insult!" No. Your words are an insult. Stop being an asshole and start being good neighbor. Stop offering other Eastern Europe to go enjoy themselves but start being part of it. When you see an old lady with heavy bag, don't express disgust on your face and cross the road, approach her and offer help. It is beneficial for everyone. It's beneficial for all countries in the region if all of them prosper. P.s. not a single word was said with bad intention or emotion. It's more like "my childhood friend suddenly became rich and now says we are losers and don't want to be friends anymore. Mate, we are friends, we live nearby. We really don't need your money, we don't want it, all we want is to keep being friends, hang out with you and enjoy lives. Advice on how to become rich would be nice, but not mandatory. Just go back to being nice with us and let's have fun together!" Also do consider that main rich guys you want to hang out with still see you as minor to them and will see you that way for a long time. So if you (I mean Poland, not you personally) are so obsessed with being string, rich and respected, why you want to be "one of the least respected and adored in rich guy club" when you can be "most rich and respected guy in the poor neighborhood, so much that people start to follow his example"?
As the name of the film suggests, these are stereotypes, this film is made for entertainment with a heavy dose of sarcasm, and should not be taken as a serious source of information. There is a grain of truth in every stereotype, but here the grain is blown to the size of Jupiter. Poland - Mexico of Europe? LOL, yeah, I heard this term in the 90's and early 2000's when our economy was forcing people to emigrate west. Ironically, now the role has been reversed. People from the "West" (not only Europe) are increasingly considering emigrating to Poland and the rest of the countries of Central Europe.
You guys have everything wrong ,and eastern Europe is everything east of polish border Poland Czechia Germany Austria Hungary and Slovakia is central Europe
Russia is the Biggest opponent of eastern european countries!!! And we are very diffrent than Russia!! And Eastern European countries were not all Russian!!! Only a few belonged to Russia And were always fighting With it!!!! + There IS Central European Region g e o g r a p h i c a l l y. AND HOW you confuse Czech Republic with CHECHENYA!!!!🫤🫤
6:10 - in Europe, we have Ukrainians and Romanians instead of Mexicans and no, Czechia and Chechnya is something completely different. Czech Republic is the most western country of former eastern block, Chechnya is part of Russia and they are muslims.
hahaha almost all your statements were wrong, like Hungary has bad weather (no it has one of the best in Europe), Checz are same as Chechnyan, Georga is close to the Baltic states etc. How wrong these assumptions? About 2000 - 3000 km.
Hungarians and Poles are IMO similar in this aspect - scepticism and if smt seems to be too good we just wait for the collaps of it or for other tragedy. And I personaly think that this is good stoic realism, its good. :)
First of all, you do actually look Chechen. This is not a good thing. It tends to get you detained at airports. Secondly, as someone from a Caucasus background I'd really recommend avoiding such stereotype views as this video portrays. I spend a lot of my time trying to dispel such ideas of the place and people I come from (Circassia) - Spending time debunking myths is exhausting in itself. Avoiding repeating such myths is a good practise, it gives time to talk about real issues
All right, so in order: 2:00: one of the reasons why a term "Central Europe" come to be is exactly to distance from Russia, as most of the peoples living in central Europe fought at some point in time against Russia and to be independent from Russia. Additionally historically those lands are mostly related to former Holly Roman Empire of the German Nation (that's before German unification), Austria/Austria-Hungary and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. 3:20 Why are Hungarians so pessimistic? I don't know, definitely not the weather, as countries more up north, with much worse weather aren't so pessimistic. What I do know is between around 1900s until 1945 it was essentially all downhill for them (since 1945 it was "shitty, but stable"). 4:15 Slovenians have a stereotype of being very feminine because their language is softer in pronunciation. Because of that the jokes about them where prelevant for a long time and now took a form of being two types of men in there. A femboy and Slavoi Zizek (probably the most famous philosopher alive) 4:33 It said Czechia, which is the preferred way of saying this country name. Full name is Czech Republic. Czech isn't exactly correct, as half of the country is Czech, other half is Moravia and there's a tiny part of Silesia there as well. Now Chechnya is a part of Russia, in the Causaus, which tried to break off after the fall of the USSR, and which Russia fought a few wars over (which they won in the end but made a clown of themselves in the process). 5:50 Poles being the Mexicans of Europe? Well, that's quite true on a very surface level. There's a movie about some lady coming from America, buying a home in Italy and having Poles renovate it. What shocked her was that when they had breaks, they were reading (because that was during the times of the cold war, the Poles in question run away from communism and had higher education). Right now Poland has more engineering going on internally. Like we have companies like Solaris and Newag, which are making buses and trains respectively - so good in fact that they are very common throughout Europe (a bit like the Hungarian Ikarus buses in the old days, like the one seen at 2:15). Gee, I'm going in deep, I hope someone will read it. Anyway, no - you're not wrong. 7:20 Well interestingly enough Poland, Lithuania and Belarus are arguing between each other about where the geographical center of Europe is, each claiming it's in their country. As for Nordic, only Estonia aspires to be Nordic, Lithuania and Latvia - not really. 8:00 Georgia - basically - you have Black Sea - the see that's between Ukraine and Turkey. On the eastern side, the first country that's "under Russia" (so south of them) is Georgia. Completely different part, completely different sea. Parts of Georgia are occupied and they want to separate. But, just north of them is Chechnya, a region that does want to separate from Russia. 10:36 yeap, that's a real thing :/ I honestly don't know how those people get around here, considering how much traditional gender roles in Slavic countries in general, and Ukraine in particular, differ from the west. Over here it's stereotyped for women to basically run the household and most of the immediate family decisions.
No, dude, you don't look like a Chechen. Chechens are Caucasians. You look like an Iranian. (What you hear about Georgia is that they enacted the same type of the foreign financed NGOs law that Russia, USA and Poland has. They don't have a trace of Russian rule over them. They are 100% independent.)
Hungarians are pessimistic since hungarian history is one big 500 year long slow downward spiral... ...and whenever things look like they finally start improving a decade passes and everything is fucked up even worse. Finally make peace with habsburgs, start industrializing, contributing to science ...etc. habsburgs start WWII. They lose. Hungary gets ripped to shreds, to top it off, habsburg realm gets territorial concessions - i guess france had to reward starting WWII ...then after a century of various homegrown and intenrational commies looting the country dry. We finally join the EU. The "we fucked up speech" makes our two party system implode and we end up with Orban.
2:35 no, fake example;. Actually the law which deserved objection stated expressis verbis that traditional family should be treated with immediate suspicion of violence etc.
This whole genre is based on the idea that an illiterate person can say some of import about a novel or a poem. Most of the time, severe embarrassment occurs, without, it seems, the authors even noticing it. Please, do some basic homework first.
I would not say all Eastern Europe just makes you think of Russia lol. Most of them have had their independence for maybe 30 plus years now from Russia, and are totally thankful for it. They also don't have the same origins of languages....The Baltic countries would feel so disrespected right now lol. Not watching this video though man....Learn your history before saying things.
The vid might be entertaining but don't treat it as any source of actual knowledge, even for stereotypes ;) It's more of a video based on: "I heard a bit about a country, not much, I'll take that random fact and make some other random stuff up around it" ;) Don't get me wrong, I love taking the piss out of my own country and neighbours, but there's more accurate stereotypes to focus on.
Nahh there is a better Hungarian saying, though it is the first line of their national anthem. Isten, áldd meg a magyart. (Which wikipedia translates wrongly. If it would even translate as "nation of Hungary" the text would read either Magyarorszag or Szent Korona ...) The Hungarians have reasons to be proud of their country, think of people like Bartok, Liszt, Sandor Marai, Sandor Petofi and so much more. Politicians are always wrong in 1 way or the other, so one cant say they reflect the people.

Boy, that's some trashy video. I mean the original, not the reaction. Kinda question whoever created it... I personally visited few of these countries, and really struggle to understand where those stereotypes come from. Beautiful, kind, and super bright people that are proud of their respective cultures, are super creative about making things happen, and enjoy living closer to their roots as opposed to overcommercializing everything. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if eastern europe will once become a more desirable part of that continent given all the crap we experience in the west, like dirty streets, drugs, crime, exorbitant prices, and growing homelessness. Either way, we all need to be kind and respectful of other cultures and help each other become better if we want to live in a peaceful and beautiful world.

The best stereotype is for Slovakia being always left out 😅 yet we are the Czechs, Poles and Magyars if they were mixed together (we kinda are).
The Baltics are actually not similar to russians at all...like seriously :D have lived in Estonia most of my life and russians and estonians couldnt be more differnet , people used to get soo offended in here if tourists all assumed that we speak russian( we dont mostly) :D overall the baltic states have done everything they can to distance the,mselves from Russia , soviet times were awful for us, reason why eastern europe isnt developed more is because we have had psychopath neighbour holding us back :D thing is that russians just have done soo much awful stuff to us, occupied us, massacred us, deported us to siberian gulags and so on, thats why we are not happy with them and rightfully so
As a Lithuanian I completely agree! But personally I don't get offended by Americans putting us together with the ruskies. I think, for the Americans, if you're not into geography/European history or foreign politics, how are you supposed to know about our tiny countries? Sure, maybe you've heard of us (not to brag, but we, Lithuanians have a few good basketball players in the NBA lol), but you won't know anything specific about us, nothing to distinguish us from the general stereotype of Eastern Europe/russia.
P.S. The stereotype about our food is wrong! I promise, like 90% of the time there's nothing moving in our food!
Ну конечно же беленькие вы наши ,оккупировали вас.так пишите честно как вы мечтали быть в коалиции с гитлеровской Германией)))
Its all about education and educating the west the history of the Baltics or people will always compare your Baltics countries to Russia due to the infrastructure, architecture and language.
Countries like the baltics are nothing but dogs of America... 😂
Russians and everyone else don't really care about you baltics. All 3 Baltic countries barely have a 2 millions population and already shrinking😂 . You'll legit disappear in just couple decades.
Not to mention every Baltic state is comprised of AT LEAST 20% Russians
This video is made to upset millions of people not knowing where is centre of Europe and showing old worst mental videos from each country.

As dude from Poland i know that world see us as "eastern european", but they ussualy forget, that Europe end on Ural Mountains, not on border with Russia ^^ But we dont care, everyone know how bad with geography are americans ^^
That's because Western and Eastern Europe division is NOT about geography. It's about politics, economics and culture. Poland is literally THE definition of Eastern Europe. No one is more Eastern European than Poland, not even Russia itself.
@@damyr we are center, because we literally don't care about west and East. Eu union (who is definition of west) can do shit in our country (because no one can tell us what to do), and we hate everyone on east. For us "east" is full of enemy's.
Russia is not an european country, they are based on golden horde rulling system rather than having any connection with europe. For example european towns started from market place, meanwhile russian towns starts with fortrece

Just so you know, there are some more countries in Eastern Europe not mentioned in this video: Slovenia, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Estonia, Croatia, Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia and Kosovo.
As for Poland, maybe we are not like Floridians, but we have some crazy people here. And comparing us to Mexico would be fair some years ago, but we are slowly approaching standard of living of Germany. So I guess we are now somwhere between Mexico and Canada, as compared to USA..
How are Slovenian or Croatia Easter Europe? Even as a nationality they are southern Slavic.

Brian's Polish / Mexican workforce analogy is quite on point actually.
In France our brillant politicians used the "Polish Plumber" as a meme (yeah a meme from the 90s) to describe the invasion of cheap labor from eastern europe as a source of all french unemployment problems.
More seriously in my region of northern France, Polish people play a huge part of our historical immigration, we actually have some Polish dishes now that are considered local delicacies and Polish last names are very much the norm in this part of France.
This is due to an immigration policy signed between France and Poland in the 19th century, to bring tens of thousands of families to work in the coal mines. Northern France was one of the coal hot spots, along with textile manufacturing, during the industrial revolution. The last mines closed in the 70s or 80s, and is now a world heritage site. It also produced a few strange "pyramids" overlooking the very flat landscape.
Poland did not exist in the political sense in the 19th century - emigration was the result of repression against Poles after two failed uprisings against the Russian occupier and the participation of Poles in the Napoleonic Wars on the side of France.
And we used the same argument in the UK to promote brexit...
Show me Poland on the map in 19th century and I will give you 1 milion $.
well since my fellow trolls don't bother to actually check anything, i did.
My mistake was not that it was not poland, because of course everyone knows that when a region gets occupied or joins a wider group its people magically disappears, but that it actually happened in the early 20th century when poland was shortly sovereign.
I got influenced by Zola's book and whenever i think of coal mines here i think 19th century.
And so another interesting point was that a good number of them came from Germany where they were also working in the mines.
oh and i recently heard again about the infamous "Polish Plumber" and it was actually used around 2005 and not in the 90s. The Polish tourism office created an advertisement campaign using that meme, and to mock our glorious French politicians.
Well,in every nation there is some idiots,but in Eastern Europe they have incredible sence of humor and fantasy.
They were supposedly showing pictures from Poland, but signs were written in Russian. This shows you, how accurate it was. Total bull...
The sign was actually in Ukrainian.
It was very obvs Ukrainian and the people in the video were speaking Polish(or maybe another western slavic language I don't know)
They were speaking polish. The video was made in German bus (in Poland we sometimes buy used cars from germany) and cyrylic is often used as a 3 language in instructions
Confusing Czechs with Chechens is funny af, and asking why everyone hates ruzzia...bruh... very American reaction
If that doesn't work with the Czechs because of the risk of confusion, you can also use the geographical term Bohemia and Bohemians... And of course the Bohemians are the most German Slavs. We were in a common empire, connected to each other, for many centuries. That's why, for example, there is more of a Central European cuisine, with regional specialties (which is partly due to the same agricultural products, the same climate and soil conditions), than a specifically German, Swiss or Austrian cuisine. And of course that includes Bohemia and Moravia...
as far as i know the guy is Hungarian-Serbian and lives in hungary i bellive but overall those stereotypes are not from the countries he talk about but from abroad mostly from the west and some of them for me were new and Czecha, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia are Central Europe even though Slovakia is more east minded. And other funny thing he said at the beggining that anything east of vienna is Russia in denial meanwhile Vinne si more on the east than Prague capital of Czechia lmao
The dolls in the Czech part were speaking Serbian.
But this video is more humor then facts.
Many of those videos were not created in the country that was described. It is not very informative and not very accurate but it was funny a little bit. I am from what you call an Eastern European country called Slovakia.
Słowacja to dosłowne centrum Europy, która przecież jest aż po Ural. Wschodnia Europa to głównie Rosja.
Why is there still intolerance between Western and Eastern Europeans today? That is economic racism. Today, almost 40 years after the fall of communism, the differences in wages in Western and Eastern Europe, as well as in the standard of living, are enormous and multiple. A lot of young people from Eastern Europe immigrate to Western Europe and mostly do the hardest jobs there. But there they don't earn 500 or 1000 euros, but 3 or 4 thousand. Why can't the countries of Eastern Europe recover financially even in 40 years of capitalism? Well, because corrupt politicians sold all the banks and good companies for nothing to Western Europeans. Today, the countries of Eastern Europe are colonies of Western Europe, which extracts billions of euros from them. That is why they are failing both economically and demographically!
That's only half of the whole truth. Yes, it is the problem that we sold everything in 90s and western companies treat us as a second grade people, selling worse quality food for higher price than in the west etc.....but those companies were bankrupting in early 90s and were not able to compete in capitalist market without western money and investments. Like for example Škoda Auto, it would probably not exist now if Germans didn't buy. And another problem is that corrupt politicians stole everything and again - west is not responsible for that, we did it by ourselves. And even worse thing is that people still vote these criminals.
You are right in some things and overall description but wrong on conclusion.
We are part of EU, each country pays something to EU budget and takes something from EU budget. Through all 21st century Germany and sometimes France are the only two countries paying more than taking. Doesn't seem like "western Europe sucks easterners blood and money.
I consider being wrong but for me it looks more like (I'm not talking exclusively or mostly about Poland, there's much more countries in Eastern Europe.
I'm not going to pretend to be expert on neighbors, but right now I don't see the reason why would it be much different.
In Baltic region 2 out of 3 countries were almost never independent in last... Many centuries. So my theory of "why are they still much worse economically then the west" is that when they broke free from USSR, majority of people with power and some kind of control over something valuable, weren't so optimistic about "how long is it going to last before some random country will invade and make us part of their territory. As usual."
So with this idea only reasonable thing you can do (as person with power) is to milk own population, extracting as much money as possible as fast as possible, also selling land and property quick. Then boom, we're part of EU, which means some promise of safety, EU shooting money this direction, so much precious money to steal..
But usually when someone gets a source of income, people keep using it as long as they can. So alongside EU money, state budget also keeps being mostly stolen. Why not when you can? 😅😅
Other important thing is depopulation.
As soon as door opened, many (like, really a lot) of people instead of "be hungry for some time" and rebuild own state decided to move to those "rich" countries to make money there.
When quarter of population abandons country it's not helping.
You insist "Poland is sentral jourop!"
1. No. Main reasons for you standing economically look like "Germany gives you money as form of being sorry for our past, your country is relatevly big and population can recover loss of quantity quicker. Also you have weird thing called national pride so as soon as Poland showed signs of development and people started to come home which also helps a lot.
Being honest with you, personally I find Poles saying "we're not Eastern Europe!" all the time quite upsetting.
So instead of being a sort of a leader of Eastern Europe, an example of development, instead of saying "we are LIKE other countries in the west now. Hey, neighbors, we are friends and brothers, let me help you to catch up and join us on our journey to development ", no, instead more successful you become more you start to say things like "oooo, I ekshully never was part of this group of poor stupid losers, look at the map, look at the map, we are CENTER!!!!! Don't call us Eastern Europe, it's an insult!"
No. Your words are an insult.
Stop being an asshole and start being good neighbor. Stop offering other Eastern Europe to go enjoy themselves but start being part of it.
When you see an old lady with heavy bag, don't express disgust on your face and cross the road, approach her and offer help.
It is beneficial for everyone. It's beneficial for all countries in the region if all of them prosper.
P.s. not a single word was said with bad intention or emotion. It's more like "my childhood friend suddenly became rich and now says we are losers and don't want to be friends anymore. Mate, we are friends, we live nearby. We really don't need your money, we don't want it, all we want is to keep being friends, hang out with you and enjoy lives. Advice on how to become rich would be nice, but not mandatory. Just go back to being nice with us and let's have fun together!"
Also do consider that main rich guys you want to hang out with still see you as minor to them and will see you that way for a long time.
So if you (I mean Poland, not you personally) are so obsessed with being string, rich and respected, why you want to be "one of the least respected and adored in rich guy club" when you can be "most rich and respected guy in the poor neighborhood, so much that people start to follow his example"?

As the name of the film suggests, these are stereotypes, this film is made for entertainment with a heavy dose of sarcasm, and should not be taken as a serious source of information. There is a grain of truth in every stereotype, but here the grain is blown to the size of Jupiter. Poland - Mexico of Europe? LOL, yeah, I heard this term in the 90's and early 2000's when our economy was forcing people to emigrate west. Ironically, now the role has been reversed. People from the "West" (not only Europe) are increasingly considering emigrating to Poland and the rest of the countries of Central Europe.
You guys have everything wrong ,and eastern Europe is everything east of polish border Poland Czechia Germany Austria Hungary and Slovakia is central Europe
Everything east of vienna is eastern europe
Russia is the Biggest opponent of eastern european countries!!! And we are very diffrent than Russia!! And Eastern European countries were not all Russian!!! Only a few belonged to Russia And were always fighting With it!!!! + There IS Central European Region g e o g r a p h i c a l l y. AND HOW you confuse Czech Republic with CHECHENYA!!!!🫤🫤
6:10 - in Europe, we have Ukrainians and Romanians instead of Mexicans and no, Czechia and Chechnya is something completely different. Czech Republic is the most western country of former eastern block, Chechnya is part of Russia and they are muslims.
Czechia and Chechenya are completely different places😂. Czechia is below Poland and Chechenya is Russian oblast near Georgia and Azerbaijan😂
hahaha almost all your statements were wrong, like Hungary has bad weather (no it has one of the best in Europe), Checz are same as Chechnyan, Georga is close to the Baltic states etc. How wrong these assumptions? About 2000 - 3000 km.
Hungarians and Poles are IMO similar in this aspect - scepticism and if smt seems to be too good we just wait for the collaps of it or for other tragedy. And I personaly think that this is good stoic realism, its good. :)
Total bullshit...😂
America, DO NOT LAUGH!
HAH Slovakia is not mention in this video that means Slovakia is central europe confirmed.
First of all, you do actually look Chechen. This is not a good thing. It tends to get you detained at airports. Secondly, as someone from a Caucasus background I'd really recommend avoiding such stereotype views as this video portrays. I spend a lot of my time trying to dispel such ideas of the place and people I come from (Circassia) - Spending time debunking myths is exhausting in itself. Avoiding repeating such myths is a good practise, it gives time to talk about real issues
Stop being racist dude.
Georgia is at the Black Sea in SouthEast Europe.
All right, so in order:
2:00: one of the reasons why a term "Central Europe" come to be is exactly to distance from Russia, as most of the peoples living in central Europe fought at some point in time against Russia and to be independent from Russia. Additionally historically those lands are mostly related to former Holly Roman Empire of the German Nation (that's before German unification), Austria/Austria-Hungary and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
3:20 Why are Hungarians so pessimistic? I don't know, definitely not the weather, as countries more up north, with much worse weather aren't so pessimistic. What I do know is between around 1900s until 1945 it was essentially all downhill for them (since 1945 it was "shitty, but stable").
4:15 Slovenians have a stereotype of being very feminine because their language is softer in pronunciation. Because of that the jokes about them where prelevant for a long time and now took a form of being two types of men in there. A femboy and Slavoi Zizek (probably the most famous philosopher alive)
4:33 It said Czechia, which is the preferred way of saying this country name. Full name is Czech Republic. Czech isn't exactly correct, as half of the country is Czech, other half is Moravia and there's a tiny part of Silesia there as well. Now Chechnya is a part of Russia, in the Causaus, which tried to break off after the fall of the USSR, and which Russia fought a few wars over (which they won in the end but made a clown of themselves in the process).
5:50 Poles being the Mexicans of Europe? Well, that's quite true on a very surface level. There's a movie about some lady coming from America, buying a home in Italy and having Poles renovate it. What shocked her was that when they had breaks, they were reading (because that was during the times of the cold war, the Poles in question run away from communism and had higher education). Right now Poland has more engineering going on internally. Like we have companies like Solaris and Newag, which are making buses and trains respectively - so good in fact that they are very common throughout Europe (a bit like the Hungarian Ikarus buses in the old days, like the one seen at 2:15). Gee, I'm going in deep, I hope someone will read it. Anyway, no - you're not wrong.
7:20 Well interestingly enough Poland, Lithuania and Belarus are arguing between each other about where the geographical center of Europe is, each claiming it's in their country. As for Nordic, only Estonia aspires to be Nordic, Lithuania and Latvia - not really.
8:00 Georgia - basically - you have Black Sea - the see that's between Ukraine and Turkey. On the eastern side, the first country that's "under Russia" (so south of them) is Georgia. Completely different part, completely different sea. Parts of Georgia are occupied and they want to separate. But, just north of them is Chechnya, a region that does want to separate from Russia.
10:36 yeap, that's a real thing :/ I honestly don't know how those people get around here, considering how much traditional gender roles in Slavic countries in general, and Ukraine in particular, differ from the west. Over here it's stereotyped for women to basically run the household and most of the immediate family decisions.
My Dad was Polish and my lovely son says that I inherited the "unhinged", genes! I say that it's my Mum's Welsh genes that has caused that.
On planet Earth Hungarians had the 3 most wars... and started like maybe 10% of it. Hungarians are not pessimist, they are harsh realist.
6:00 Man, That's so true
Greets from Poland
No, dude, you don't look like a Chechen. Chechens are Caucasians. You look like an Iranian.
(What you hear about Georgia is that they enacted the same type of the foreign financed NGOs law that Russia, USA and Poland has. They don't have a trace of Russian rule over them. They are 100% independent.)
Hungarians are pessimistic since hungarian history is one big 500 year long slow downward spiral...
...and whenever things look like they finally start improving a decade passes and everything is fucked up even worse.
Finally make peace with habsburgs, start industrializing, contributing to science ...etc. habsburgs start WWII. They lose. Hungary gets ripped to shreds, to top it off, habsburg realm gets territorial concessions - i guess france had to reward starting WWII
...then after a century of various homegrown and intenrational commies looting the country dry.
We finally join the EU.
The "we fucked up speech" makes our two party system implode and we end up with Orban.
2:35 no, fake example;. Actually the law which deserved objection stated expressis verbis that traditional family should be treated with immediate suspicion of violence etc.

I sincerely hope these were over-exaggerated stereotypes, otherwise there'd be a lot to worry about our Civilization!!!
I would not say all Eastern Europe just makes you think of Russia lol. Most of them have had their independence for maybe 30 plus years now from Russia, and are totally thankful for it. They also don't have the same origins of languages....The Baltic countries would feel so disrespected right now lol. Not watching this video though man....Learn your history before saying things.
The vid might be entertaining but don't treat it as any source of actual knowledge, even for stereotypes ;) It's more of a video based on: "I heard a bit about a country, not much, I'll take that random fact and make some other random stuff up around it" ;)
Don't get me wrong, I love taking the piss out of my own country and neighbours, but there's more accurate stereotypes to focus on.
Nahh there is a better Hungarian saying, though it is the first line of their national anthem. Isten, áldd meg a magyart. (Which wikipedia translates wrongly. If it would even translate as "nation of Hungary" the text would read either Magyarorszag or Szent Korona ...) The Hungarians have reasons to be proud of their country, think of people like Bartok, Liszt, Sandor Marai, Sandor Petofi and so much more. Politicians are always wrong in 1 way or the other, so one cant say they reflect the people.

I personally visited few of these countries, and really struggle to understand where those stereotypes come from. Beautiful, kind, and super bright people that are proud of their respective cultures, are super creative about making things happen, and enjoy living closer to their roots as opposed to overcommercializing everything. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if eastern europe will once become a more desirable part of that continent given all the crap we experience in the west, like dirty streets, drugs, crime, exorbitant prices, and growing homelessness. Either way, we all need to be kind and respectful of other cultures and help each other become better if we want to live in a peaceful and beautiful world.
