I found the video below over that John McCrarey's blog. It shows many of the tropes and stereotypes of life in the Philippines (often just called "the PI") by a guy who knows how to laugh at himself while also writing a love note to his own country. This is right up there with South Korea's own self-deprecating Mr. Pizza ad from some years back.
Not to mention our very own "America! Fuck, yeah!"

AND A NEW RULE (per this post): comments critical of Trump's lying must include criticism of Biden's or Kamala's or some prominent leftie's lying on a one-for-one basis! Failure to be balanced means your comment will not be published.
I'm glad you liked it. The guy has some talent. I see he's got some others, "If Lady Gago was Filipino," "If Michael Jackson was Filipino," etc., that I need to get around to watching as well.
ReplyDeleteThat Mr. Pizza video is fantastic!
ReplyDelete"The closer you get to Jinju, the closer you get to the classical pizza."
"...And we invented garlic bread." The tone of that was comment was PERFECT.

A lot of expats loved that video as an example of good PR from Korea instead of the usual breathless, overexaggerated, melodramatic nonsense.
