0:13 I don't know why but the way Luis asked for the pronunciation with all the chaos going on around him, and that random guy even translated the phrase for him, had me completely lose it, comedic gold 🤣🤣😭💀
Spot on, people seem to always think something is funny only when they can laugh at it. It's happened to me many times when they show me funny videos and stuff like that. They laugh, I don't. Even though I find some of them funny. Kind of feels bad.
Hey Destin! Had this video randomly back in my recommended, decided to watch that amazing first 20 seconds again. A masterpiece! I see you recognize it too!
I don't see any chaos here ! What are you talking about ! Juste une joie de vivre manifeste pendant une bien bucolique randonnée dans les rues bien charmantes de Paris ! 😂
@@Forgesx Ok then describe your experience in France. France has the most tourists annually than any other country and also the most repeating tourists for a reason.
@@Lolfmao-lk8ti my experience with french people is that whenever I play with one online they flame hard. Also they're not known to be very excited about people speaking their language, I've heard a lot of people talk about this in particular. But I never been, obviously there's gonna be good and bad apples in every country, but it just seems that french are a bit unwelcoming to tourists and a bit rude, at least in Paris.
I'm french and your video is hilarious. Thank's for your honesty about croissants quality and no bad mentioning to riots :) We are fighting for our purchasing power to keep continuing buy croissants!
not even 10 days old, but this is already an all time youtube classic for me. the video we didnt know we needed. checking if the croissant is buttery and flaky in midst of ongoing street wars, absolutely superb.
It fills me with joy thinking that those people that pass by and see him talking think he's reporting on the ongoing situation, and he is just talking about *croissants* xD
There is something really powerful about this. I mean that without irony or satire. Doing a series highlighting the arts, culture, and humanity in a warzone or an area of strife like this is a statement in itself.
This is one of my favorite videos on this site. The comedy is so good, no over-the-top editing and zooming in like I've gotten so used to, and it's kind of poetic at the same time.
An Italian, speaking English, rating croissants on RU-vid, in Paris, while the French people are doing a massive strike. That's the magic of Europe in one video!
"A" protest? It's THE protest, probably the largest in the world since Tiananmen Square and it has gone on for years almost uninterrupted. They number hundreds of thousands, some days probably over a million across France. While the problems they protest for have been different, the cause they're protesting against has not; the corrupt government.
@@thisismyname1940 I remember visiting Paris in November and the day we came it was protests as well and the entire day it was police everywhere. The french truly like protesting.
Pourquoi je découvre cette vidéo que maintenant.. Le ton, le montage, le décalage du quotidien est juste parfait ! hilarant Mention spécial à la transition miette un régale x)
This is the real Paris. This is not what Hollywood will show you. It's both beautiful and terrible, and I like it like that. As a Frenchman, I thank you for showing it to the world.
Applies to western europe. In Poland our train stations used to be pretty grim 10-20 years ago, but the people you met there were usually homeless or common docile drunks. The thing was there were ZERO people of the no good kind that didnt speak our language. Makes a big difference. Nowadays our train stations are clean, modernised and more and more of them are being renovated. You can actually relax while waiting for your train and feel safe when sitting there by yourself when its already dark outside.
If you get run over by a car because you were trying to find a sidewalk in America, you are at fault. Don't forget to clap when the ambulance arrives. Eventually
@@j.kearney484 bro you can't compare US with any other countries about walkable city. Am not even from the US but I've seen enough, private property everywhere, car culture everybody use a car. The most ridiculous thing i see is a restaurant need a lot of parking space. So the culture is built for cars
We just want a croissant 🥐 you know? Whether that croissant 🥐 be a real croissant 🥐 or that croissant 🥐 be love, or menage a trois, or moneh, or a good outfit, or chaos, or peace...
The statement "and usually in Europe where there's a trainstation and a McDonald's, there's no good people" sums up the perfect honesty of the review! Excellent.
@@andreanavarro2341 Ngl in like the 10 years of me going to Recife, Brazil for summer to see family I’ve never seen a train station, did see a creepy ass alley that goes pitch black at night though
Isn't that every day in Paris? I mean nothing abnormal in my view. Several riots, gunshots, fire, maybe it lacks a sprinkle of stabbing incidents but in Europe we know London is the capital city of stabbing so not necessarily required for Paris to display its wholesome.
5:53 this has me in tears and I absolutely admire the editing and filmmaking of this whole video. Best thing I’ve seen all year. *ITS DECEMBER* Ps: tears of laughter
Honestly, love the idea of making a tier list of a country's famous snack food in a major city, also love the idea of trying to navigate Paris like a normal civilian during the riots. But most of all, the idea and execution for this video were phenomenal !
I never thought I’d watch a croissant rating video in my life, but the dissonance in this video had me DYING laughing the whole time. I am so impressed. Day made.
Actual peaceful protesers who have something valid to protest don't spoil their cause by breaking into small businesses to loot. Who would do that. Imagine if that happened.
Buenas Luis, Esto es un capolavoro, los cambios de escena y ambiente lo hacen super llamativo e interesante, el momento que preguntas el nombre del sitio en francés a un huelguista 😂😂, los cambios del ajetreo y la tranquilidad del resto de sitios de comida lo hace adictivo, sigue asi. Saludo de un desconocido.
I love how the guy at the start just answers his question without hesitation. Like it's just completely normal for him in these circumstances to have some tourist come up and ask how to pronounce the name of a Bakery 😂
What's missing in this video are the sunny views of Paris, where its Hausmannian architecture truly shines. I would recommend visiting Paris during late spring or summer when the weather is ideal, perfectly matching these lovely croissants
@@maryboo1530 sorry I don't think he ain't famous in Italy, I just wanted to say "consider that he ain't so much super famous"...I mean, he's not khaby lame...
I’m so glad this video exists. It has this “trolling” feel of comedy to it, but it isn’t actually trolling or disrespecting the people in the riot. I love it.
I would say that a general rule is that train stations attract people who are either after your wallet, your unfinished lunch, or a cigarette. I would not consider train nerds a problem.
@@JoJo-vm8vk ha bon ? Guarre du nord a Paris , Marseille st charles , Roissy , lille ? As tu vraiment pris le train regulierement ou tu as pris un tgv pour faire " le tour du pays" . Les garres sont des nids a delinquant depuis des années, les agression violentes et sexueIIes ne font que monter .. mais ok t as raison c est pas le farwest c est le frankistan
I really love the intro where he asked someone how to pronounce the first store's name. Even in the chaos, someone actually stopped and helped him. I don't know why that part hits me the most, but it does. Somethimg about that just feels so absurd.
Very relaxing video, the atmosphere was pretty chill with Luis talking about croissants, really felt like i was in Paris in 2023 10/10 would visit again
At the moment i'm writing an academic paper on this video, it's genuinely amazing how interesting this concept is. To film a fairly serious croissant review (or as serious as something like a croissant review can get) in the midst of historic protests is one of the most intriguing and hilarious things I've ever seen on RU-vid. If you think of this video a something similar to a documentary, it's actually incredibly innovative from a filmmaking point of view.
It shows something from that perspective shallow amidst as you said historic protests, it also highlights certain type of influencers, content that we are surrounded with. Rankings, hauls, trends, we forget about what big events we're currently living through. It's like we don't want to know or see, it's more comfortable to live in this imaginary world without it. Cool insight, nice to see some similar thoughts. Good luck with your paper!
As a parisian I'd like to thank you for spreading our beautiful croissant culture. I hope you had a nice stay, i don't know if you are aware of it but there are some protests in France rn, but it's minor and unnoticeable ✌️
This is truly one of the most interesting and surreal videos I‘ve seen recently. It just captures a (perhaps) historical event from such an unusual perspective. This should be saved somewhere in an archive!
It's funny to me, as a long time fan of Luis's, because to me this video seems totally on par with his style and doesn't strike me as surreal that much. I guess I've just become so used to it that I don't notice how funny he is anymore!
This is the most surreal video I've seen in a very long time. Not even riots have stopped a man from enjoying a delicious croissant. Thank you. Made my day!
I don't think any video can top the surrealness of the girl popping and locking in front of a military coup in Myanmar ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6r6vnSR0wbI.html
Ce jour là, vous aviez visiblement eu une bonne étoile au dessus de vous car je vous le dis, vous auriez pu repartir avec un œil, une main ou que sais-je en moins…Merci pour la belle pub de nos viennoiseries.Vive la France !🥐🇫🇷
Loved the review! You think you would get bored after so many croissant, but with how light and tasty each croissant is, its not hard to keep trying the other. Dammit now i want one xD
As a Frenchman it was fun It's even funnier that your video is showing to the world how much we keep living as if everything was fine, since protestors are everywhere
@@gandalf_thegrey I'm not kidding, just look at how our president just reacted like "yeah, they'll calm down in some months, no worries" and we were like "oh, another protest" when we were going to lunch during the midday pause lmao But I have to admit it was kind of surprising how much people there were But in my city, people aren't violent during protests, so it was safe to walk in the streets Someday, my friends wanted to eat burgers but the bus got blocked by the protest so I've just left them to eat somewhere closer from our school, but they litteraly went through the protest to walk to another bus stop, and there was a man playing the champ des partisans on idk which instrument, so one of my friends joined him with his kazoo, it's sad that I left them lol So yeah, it's really like... Usual but not usual but still fine when people aren't angry and cops aren't either
@@archeacnosare the protests still happening? If yes, are they with the same intensity as when they were on their peak? I've heard the policemen or jandarmes or whoever they were gained the right to do whatever they want when the protests happen, but I'm not sure if It's true
@@Yesnarxo well we have protests for other topics now The protests against the pension reform stopped when the National Assembly failed to vote the motion of no confidence (I'm using Google translate for the political words, tell me if it's not understandable) Something like 1 month ago, there has been another mess, but not because of this reform. A 17yo got killed by a cop because he refused to comply. The thing is, that kid was known, as it wasn't his first crime, which is the principal argument of the people defending him (most of the other arguments gravitate towards it, it's like "ok but this kid was already corrupted, his life was a pure failure, he deserves it because he just had to stay right there instead of running away with his car, it's because of people like him that cops aren't respected, we have to give them more power if we want to reestablish an harmony where people are aware that cops aren't shit"). But there's one more thing, he was an Arab. And, if racism wasn't high a few years ago, it's absolutely changing, because of communitarianism (there are a lot of factors for that: there are places field with immigrants because life is cheap there, and the fact they are struggling to feel like they're a part of French people, they just comfort themselves by staying with groups of other immigrants, rap is also a factor because they now feel like every groups of immigrants are link, they feel a kind of fraternity, but rap is also used to convey hateful messages now, and the groups of kids often start to isolate even more from France, and some of them become violent and antifrance, and their thing really work, since you can sometimes find teenagers with Algerian flags in their bio while they're actually white and just want to be badass renegades). And the Nahel's death caused : 1- a lot of protests, composed by normal protestors, and by renegades who just want France to be a total mess 2 - more police violences, since the protests are full of hateful people who provoke the cops so that they become violent, BUT ALSO because some cops are just dumbasses, or because they're racist or because, with the rise of the far right, people are just being more and more polarized and radicals, which makes France look like twitter sometimes, people really tend to do dumb things foe politics now 3 - far right people have raised something like 1 million euros for the cop, pretending that it was an indicator of decadence that the family of the victim got idk how much thousand euros from their own pool So yeah, big mess because cops are violent and groups of renegades destroy stuff during protests I don't remember about a low giving too much rights to cops, I must have heard about it and then forgot because it was an usual topic lol But 2 or 3 years ago, we already had some protests because they made a law to "protect the cops", which makes it forbidden to record cops, but no one cares lmao The big thing is that the IGPN is corrupted, while they're supposed to juge the cases of cops committing crimes, so a lot of cops aren't punished Also, the amount of cops have drastically increased, but for the number to increase, they had to lower the required level to be employed Oh, and during a protest, a man, who wasn't protesting, litteraly just walking around, got assaulted by cops, and, plot twist, the man is arabic, so that's started an other mess because it shows how many cops are corrupted
Ah Paris, so romantic My cousin has been in Paris since the beginning of the year; some days ago, he sent me a video of him and his French friends eating in front of a burning garbage container as if nothing happened. Thanks to this video I realize that actually that is the authentic Parisian experience, how dynamic!
I have visited Paris twice this year (3 days in January and five days this month (April). I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Demonstrations may be noisy but peaceful. Vandalism will occur but it's isolated and perhaps even unrelated to the protest demos.
Such a surrealistically hilarious video with dissonance in it which actually made my day today. An Italian guy trying French croissants 🥐 in the middle of the strike. Next time I am in a bad mood I know what to watch. 😂
