Google translate of the title says "boy crying because she left him".

But she seems to sorta be crying, so who knows ??

She´s making a parody of a monologue by a famous italian youtube star regarding a breakup discourse ... funny in italian, loses honestly a lot of meaning in english

Background is about a little teen boy that actually was pretty mad about his breakup and specially his ex , this webstar produced a funny response spreading the original video and now for some inane reason, as most things in the net , its semi viral.

Funny when explained eh? not.

Big smile

Imagine a Leave britney alone type of video of someone really angry about something ....


He is pretty annoyed at his ex, like really really annoyed , and its so damn funny in italian ... he sobs too, what makes the video is the directed swearing, since he spouts the words in sorrowful anger Evil

TLDR : parody of a teen angry at his ex that went viral and now everyone mocks him

She's doing a parody of some guy who went on Youtube to ***** about his ex leaving him. Lots of eff yous, piece of s, etc. It's not what he said, but how he said it. Nuance and all that. English has very little nuance, so it doesn't translate very well. There is more humor in the everyday language of Italian than Italian comedy, which is awful. Italians do and say naturally funny stuff, but when they try to write humor it's just dumb.

This is one of those naturally funny times. Especially the bestemmia (blasphemy) at the beginning..."dio cane", or "dog god". Unlike just about every other language, Italian has swear words that literally swear at God, calling him a dog (dio cane), a pig (porco dio, dio porco), calling Mary a wh0re (puttana madonna), and calling for the execution of God (dio boia). Like I said, everyday Italian is much, much funnier than any scripted Italian.

Garbage rarely tastes so awesome in my experience. I like their wine too.

I do like their Endless Salad paradigm.

But as far as actual Italian, it's just not there, like Red Lobster is not all there for seafood.

But OG is a good thing for smaller towns and such that do not have many places to eat out. It's a good approximation.

Nothing replaces mozeralla made on location, on the day.

But then it starts running up in expense, of course. It takes a town like San Fran to actually not have an Olive Garden.

And don't get me started on pizza chains like Dominoes, Little Caesar, Pizza Hut. Ugh. It's so artificial and plastic tasting it's just a waste of good currency.

Oooor...maybe I just like Olive Garden. I've been to other Italian places. "Authentic" Italian places in various parts of the country. They were great. I enjoyed them. ...but Olive Garden is still yummy, too. I guess I'm not understanding the Italian food elitism here. There's nothing saying I can't like Olive Garden and real Italian food simultaneously.

Well, I tried to imply that with liking their salads and bread in particular Smile

It's not Italian food elitism, it's just not Italian food. Chicken parmesan isn't Italian food, and neither is fettuccine alfredo. You can like whatever you want, but what you consider Italian food isn't Italian food if it's Olive Garden.

I heard SF has great Italian pizza, but only if you wanna pay 30 bucks for it...which kinda defeats the purpose of pizza. One day I'm gonna bring back some frico and polenta and open up a restaurant in SF and make a fortune. Just go to places like Whole Foods and watch idiots buy 10 dollar packages of polenta and laugh all the way to the bank. Throw in some seriously overpriced 5 euro wine and watch everyone lord their elitism over all their friends while they eat grits and pretend it's high culture.

Try $20-22 Long Bridge Pizza opens in Dogpatch

How does paying for fine, fresher ingredients "defeat the purpose of pizza". Much less paying for finer ingredients ?? "Defeats" ?

Have you ever actually tried making your own polenta ??

You seem to resent paying even a dollar for food.

What kind of slop do you gorge on then ???

I live in Italy, so I make polenta all the time. Since I live in the north, I eat it so much I'm friggin' sick of it. Polenta is grits...it's nothing special. Everyone makes fun of us southerners for eating grits, but call it polenta and it's gourmet all of a sudden. There are so many different types of polenta that you've probably only tried one variation.

The fact that you have to pay MORE for fresh ingredients back home in the states is a travesty in and of itself, and it's exacerbated by the fact that Americans equate cost with quality, that in order to eat well you have to pay a lot of money. This is what I rail against.

Pizza is a simple food and unless it's a steak and lobster pizza or caviar pizza with baby seal whiskers, a damn good pizza shouldn't cost more than 10-12 bucks.

I resent paying a lot of money for food in the states because it's either re-heated chain restaurant crap a la Chili's or Olive Garden or it's a place that serves something overpriced because someone actually sliced a vegetable by themselves and called it fine dining. Burger joints and Mexican food are usually really good, but for some reason in the states Italian food is all screwed up. It's either way too complicated and has no thought given to the dish whatsoever, or they tossed some prosciutto on a pizza and somehow didn't burn it and now it's all of a sudden worth $20. How do they get away with this? Because people don't know any better and, as I said before, Americans equate cost with quality.

An Italian would go to McDonald's and eat a Big Mac for 5 bucks before he or she spent $20 on a pizza, unless that was the greatest pizza in the history of mankind. That 20 dollar pizza you linked is an 8 euro pizza here, only the one here has better ingredients because judging from those pictures, it'd be more like 5 euros. That pizzaiolo tossed some pasta, threw on some regular mozzarella (not even bufala, btw), probably doesn't even make his own pomodoro, and added some random ingredients (that people call fresh just because it's not wrapped in plastic) and wants 20 bucks for that? You could make a better pizza than that yourself. I know I could.

You guys have to stop trolling me with food. I'm like an ADD kid in a room full of shiny things when we start talking about food, especially Italian food. I'm not being elitist, it's just I believe in authenticity or nothing. I'm a purist.
