I know everything he said is meant as a joke, but I've been living outside of Greece for nearly a decade now and I've always had a chip on my shoulder due to this harmful stereotype that Greeks are lazy. We're the Mexicans of Europe. It cuts deep and I can't easily laugh about it. It especially angers me because most of the time it comes from snobby north Europeans with the cushiest jobs and lives. Yeah, go work in Greece for ten hours a day to get 650 euros with a 300 Euro rent and see if you like it, princess.

There is NOTHING MORE BEAUTIFUL then being half Greek/half Italian.❤️❤️

I am Italian and I love Greece. You don't have to tease your roots, they are the best things you have. Greece and Italy have built almost all of our Western world. The Anglo-Saxons only wrapped it in plastic. It has never happened to me to find restaurants with fake menus and lazy waiters in Greece. They simply let you enjoy dinner without bothering you every moment. In the same way, in Milan there is no one who sits like that to drink a coffee. In Milan, everyone is always in a rush and produces more money in that city than in all of Bavaria. But not even in the most remote villages of southern Italy, not even on a Sunday afternoon in the middle of August, have I ever seen someone sitting like that drinking coffee. It's okay to use stereotypes, but at least make sure you use the right ones !!

Μια Βουλγαρικη παροιμία λέει: δουλεύω τόσο όσο με πληρώνουν για να μην πεθάνω ". Σπούδασα εθνική εργασιολογια στην Γερμανία. Το πρώτο μάθημα, στο οποίο τονίζω ότι κάναμε ανάλυση για τουλάχιστον 3 βδομάδες, ήταν: Καλός εργάτης /υπάλληλος είναι μόνο εκείνος που πληρώνεται καλά! Το αντίθετο, η εκμετάλλευση, η κάθετη εργασία, οι προβολές ή οι βρισιές (σε πρώτο ή και δεύτερο πρόσωπο), κατά οποιοδήποτε ατόμου σε εργασιακή σχέση, είναι προς μη όφελος του παροχου εργασίας!!!!

In Sicily we do the same gesture to say "no" ahahaha

i am greek but not offended Shit happens to EVERY country and YES we have these kind of people but definately we are not like this But THIS is comedy and i enjoyed it really ! good one

It all comes down to preference. What I actually love and value about Greece and Italy is how real it is. Would rather not have the “service”, but create a friendship for life and build a relationship with the “waiter” and the people who are supposed to “serve”. As a Greek Australian living in Greece and the United States for a decade, I must say I haven’t missed Australia at all. Australia is no doubt a great economic country and I’m proud to have been born there. For those who enjoy systems and structures australia is golden ! I prefer to be young and free though 😉

In the States, customer service in restaurants is based on tips, which obviously means that the waiters are paid based on their service to the customers. However, that also means that in most places, the goal is to get the people in and out of the place as quickly as possible in order to serve as many potential customers as possible. So, while you do get the waiter asking you a million times do you need anything, etc..the ultimate goal is to get a big tip and then get you out. In Italy, the waiters are paid a salary and do not depend on tips, thus they allow customers to sit back and enjoy their meals without running over to the table asking you if you need this or that and then attempt to get you out. I guess Locascio doesn't realize this and just likes to be waited on.

I live in greece 30 years now and never happened those things you just said about restoraurants! Also if you think Greeks are lazy then get a job in Greece and then you'll realize that all jobs in Australia are like kindergarten in contrast to Greece!!!

For the people who get offended by a stand up comedian: wtf are you doing here? And as you understood from the name i am Greek...

Oh my God, a comedian who exaggerates, how dares he!

in italy we make the same sound for no.

Ρε παιδιά στα σχόλια, ποιος κωμικός είπε ποτέ τα πράγματα όπως είναι; Υπερβάλλει αρκετά, όπως κάνουν όλοι ανεξαρτήτως για ποια χώρα μιλούν. Λίγοι είναι αυτοί που τα παίρνουν τις μετρητοίς και παρεξηγούντε όμως. Δεν είπε και τίποτα ακραίο καν. Μάλλον πρέπει να έλεγε και για το πόσο εύκολα μας πειράζουν αυτά που ακούμε για μας, σαν να είναι όντως αλήθεια.

I’m Italian and French Canadian. I have seen stereotypes from both nationalities. I relate to them fully and I’m not offended with it. We’re Human. We’re much more alike than different.

I am Greek and outside the lazy remark, everything else was pretty much spot on. I can't speak about the Italian stuff as unfortunately I have met very few Italians (TWO) in my life, never been to Italy etc. I will tell you one thing though, though we didn't always have the best of relations with them, I like them. One of a handful of languages I wish I could speak. Good comedy.

I understand that many things he says are for the purpose of the stand up comedy performance and in some extend they are funny indeed. HOWEVER. You can be funny without perpetuating stereotypes and generalisations of an entire population. According to the World Economic Forum with data from Eurostat 02/2018, Greeks have the longest working weeks with 42.3 hrs/week. And not only that, if you haven't realised the situation from your trips in Greece, they are seriously underpaid. The middle class that you so easily make fun of and describe as the laziest has been practically destroyed from the constant reduction of salaries and the unbearable taxes. And I can personally testify for that since I belong to one of the few middle class families still standing. And I get it, of course there is a huge, continuous problem with a big percentage of the public sector of the country but that doesnt mean that everyone's lazy. And it's SO FRUSTRATING when they keep telling you you're lazy or a thief just because SOME OTHER PEOPLE ARE.

This is funny, he can say the worst shit about nationality and race about southern europeans but he would never use the word nigga in a joke cos would be racist. Cmon people

i am greek and this video cracked the shit out of me laughing.

im Greek and i lived and worked in Sydney for a year and a half , during the crisis in 2012-2013...i worked in a fine dine restaurant for that time with another 15 waiters/waitresses. from this staff we were 3 greeks working there. one day my manager was telling me that Greece and Cyprus were in all this economic problems because Greeks are lazy and all that shit that ignorant people were saying at the time...my response was...name me your 3 best waiters from all your staff....his face was priceless!!! YOU should be ashamed for calling "your" people lazy and building in that reputation of us being lazy...thats just not funny...u could make jokes about greeks in so many other ways and it would be fine...NOT THIS!!!

Nowadays when we work we work hard and long hours .. but the rest time we enjoy life , crazy friends and family

- I tell you, I tell you... - Man, you just did. hahahahahahahaha so good

OMG I need to start watching Greek/Italian comedies so many similarities between us Persians and Greek/Italians. At some point it felt like you’re making fun of us. Btw we also make that annoying "nOcH" sound, I wonder if other countries do that too lol

BS Greek people work hours per week than any other EU country.This from a survey by the EU

Really? You want to talk about laziness of Italians and you pick as an example Milan? The most efficient more nordic-like city in Italy? Naples or Rome would have been more fitting examples.

My friend, i think that you dont know Greece 😅

GENERALIZING IS NOT GOOD AT ANY ISSUE OF OUR LIVES!!!

According to my rabbi, the *kiss noise* is how Israeli shopkeepers say “yes”, but the first time they did it to him, he thought they disapproved of his Hebrew.

Also in italy "no" is "tzs"

He is wayyy to australian to understand that mentality, chill!

In Italy is the same thing when you have to say no

I'm Greek American and the wonder product thing is true... For me it was Nyquil (I could sleep no matter if I had a stuffy nose, fever etc...) Now the waiter thing has been better. But all in all I want to see more of this guy!

Mmmmh... I guess you've never been to Italy... really...

how is Tunisia an "obscure place"?

I love how it is about Greeks and Italians being lazy and it shows him sitting in the thumbnail doing “stand up” comedy

Greeks and Italians we’re basically the same 😂

Were these laughs added in post? "When you go to a restaurant in Australia..." Crowd: LOLOLOLOLOLOL

I'm an American in the comment section near New Jersey and I thought that was fucking hilarious. I didn't even realize it till he said it but I do the... "I'll tell ya" thing, albeit not so pronounced although I've found it's more about showing enthusiasm to whatever emotion the situation calls for. In a way like saying "Oh My God" and how it can be good or bad depending on if you're happy or not.

Thanks KZfaq algorithm! Fabrizio seems a lot like the guy I work with... Funny, lovely, clever, but also totally unworthy for his job somedays, at the point you wanna murder him because sometimes he makes you work twice harder. The fact is: I'm Italian (as you might have understood) from Cremona and, despite the irony, you've described the mentality in a pretty true way and that was fuckin hilarious to me man. But still, sometimes I'm more proud of our mindset over the anglo/american... Which is: man, take your time and take it easy, we're all friends 😎

I'm Greek and I'm not lazy I'm a hard working single mom and I know a lot of hard working Greek people don't know where your from but in Tarpon Springs Florida all the people work really hard at their jobs

"I tell ya" 😂😂😂

He probably doesn't know that there are dishes that are cooked e.g. every morning and one can't cook uncountable quantities, he probably thinks everything is cooked on demand. He can't understand that at some point things just finish....

Picture this; Thailand, 2017. 3 backpackers, a Turk, a Greek and a German are trying to get from one town to another, so they take the latest bus. As they arrived a little early-but not too much, they put their stuff in the bus and do some snack shopping. The Turk and the Greek do their shopping fast and arrive at the bus conveniently, but the German...arrives at last minute-in fact we were a little worried that she'd miss the bus while we waited. So much for the punctuality stereotypes.

I’m just here for the comments. I’m certain they’re going to be epic.

Fabrizio was everywhere in Italy when we visited 😫

Lol the little mouth click for "no" is also a Turkish thing!! Haha also with a little head nod up usually so it confused me for a while the first time I visited Turkey.

For us (Greek-American) papou's and yia yia's wonder product was Metaxa, it doesn't really cure the cough; just knocks your ass out.

Dave Berry says that there is a clause in the Constitution that everyone has to laugh when the words "New Jersey" are uttered, although no one knows why. Notice that that happens here, even before the joke.

If a small town and not often busy restaurant has got everything on the menu, you can be sure it comes from the freezer and it s not fresh

I don't know why but the people who went in Australia for a better life almost hate their origins .I think that they wanted to fill better for themselves! Especially in Australia there are so many Greeks but if you ask them they say that Greeks who live in Greece are lazy! Why is that? And also if someone wants to be a comedian should have something new to say ,not something that it's been said so many times! It's a pity!

Did you really went to Milan? I can take a joke about my country, but when it's funny. The one about the dog, fun joke, the others about Greece, not so. How about making jokes about things that are funny and true instead of cashing for cheap laughs with false stereotypes.

I don't think some of the people who commented below get it. He has every right to laugh at himself. In the usa we are big on ethnic jokes, no one said you can t make a living making jokes about your crazy family. They owe you!

Top bloke re ! Love it

So good to finally find a real Italian comedian!

You do the Jersey accent great. They sound like that in Brooklyn too. 😊

Τρελαίνομαι πως μιλάει τα ελληνικά ❤❤❤❤Θεός 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Hey, at least he pronounces Fabrizio perfectly, LOL!!

Oh, my Gooood... Give the man a break, this is stand up COMEDY, get over yourselfs...don't like it, don't watch it. Simple as that

Is that a "Juventus" tattoo bro?

Malakies!!!! We are not lazy bro!! You are so jealous 😝😝🇬🇷

The waiters didn't like you. I never had an issue with the menu.

Serious Ryan Gosling vibes tho

Guys...I get it...u don't like being called lazy but he is joking about stereotypes! He is a stand up comedian!

Dear tourist @anthonylocascio, the reason there is a shortage in materials in taverns is because in the majority, the protein is fresh. If the fisherman caught 10 kilos of barbounia, your eating-off-the-frozen-pacific-crap ass will eat fresh fish, if you are lucky. I also invite you to work our 10hour shifts in the Greek private sector, and once you come back home from an exhausting day, have some random australian guy (that is "greek-italian" 'cause that's hot) half the globe away telling you "ah..greek people are lazy. I would know! I've been there once!"

I'm not offended by anything he said, I just think he's horribly unfunny.

Guys, as a fellow Greek, why are you getting upset? It's a joke - we've been satirizing ourselves since Theophanes and you're upset over a common stereotype? Whether it's true or not, there is a laid-back culture within Greek towns and islands (NOT cities) - so chill out... Have a frappe. Laugh at yourselves once in a while.

Get a real job funny guy, and open your mind every time you travel because in every country there is so much history, and guess what 🇬🇷 .. is just bigger than you

You paid money to watch him? Stopped at 2:00

It's embarrassing how you described Italy and Greece, with such idiotic stereotypes

The American and Australian system works for the boss and the Greek and Italian system works for the worker... Different perspective

Anthony, I like the comedy and having a laugh. However my own experience is contrary to these stereotypes.

In America, you forgot the, "Not for nothing" in every sentence. Which atcually sounds more like: Notfonuthin

I would like to see your job performance if you worked for 12 hours per day, 6 days pers week for 600 euros and you have a phd.

It is kinda true that taverna's menus are not so accurate but it is not about lazyness.. In Greece we have a different system that the weiter will tell you every single thing in one breath. No greek goes to a restaurant and just ask the menu. Disappointed that Anthony missed that.

*:) shame to anyone who misunderstands Antony's jokes is true and we should not be ashamed of just accepting them and correcting them (btw είμαι Έλληνας)*

Roma Fiumincino....and then straight to McDonald 's ...Italian food. Amazing.

I can take all the jokes about Greeks, from a Greek. If you weren't Greek i'd be really pissed right now. P.S. Good job learning both Italian and Greek.

I hope you are joking because everything I learnt is thanks to the greek values. I like greeks because they have relationship building

Fabricio could easily be Kostas or Vaggos.

I’m half Greek

You're so good !! You explain everything perfectly !

I know you probably won't read this and I rarely comment on videos, just wanted to chip in with the rest of the Greek people that did not get butthurt and think it is ridiculous you got that much hate in the comments. Cheers!

im greek and this is funny as fuck chill out

No one in NJ speaks that way lol 😂

Yeah cause they serve you fresh stuff, not frozen unless his referring to foods that are magireuta then yes you would get an answer like that, doubt it he went to a kreato taverna and was told no chicken etc etc

Savastano at Gomorrah does the same for a "no". More things we share with southern Italians!

Lamb not goat. I've never eaten goat in Greece.

Poveretto, che cazzate non si direbbero pur di guadagnarsi il pane

There is nothing more untrue than Greeks and Italians been lazy. Try and work 70 hour weeks for 900 euro avg and then tell us if they are lazy.

This is very wrong depiction of greek restaurants. Greek waiters are super fast and super wffucient, greek restaurants have huge menus and waiters traditionally knew them by heart and also remwmbered the orders my heart knay times and they were fast both cleaning plates making tables and taking orders and delovering non stop and also with very bad pay many times. Greek waiters are super efficient and greek menus have everything except if finished because wveything is fresh and could have gone within the day of there was greay demand but there many other things except for the imeras part which is the day part woth every day having different things. He gor confused by wrong stereotypes here which can be true for some greek workers in certain areas but definitely not waiters

Buy i like this guy 😂

Oh no. New Jersey.

My lovely Tunisia.

TSOOK! OCHI VREH THEN ECKOOMEH AFTO TO BIIF KE THEN ECKOOMEH TO TSEEKEN MALAKIA PU LES !LOL

Lol this was good!

I like his many accents...

Fa ridere perché è vero.

Tunis is everything but obscure!

Every Greek person in this comment section needs to chill out. The guy is a comedian. He generalizes. And he is funny.

At minute 3:45 I stopped watching. How he describes Italians and Greeks it is not just completely fake, it is heavily offensive. I hope he does not have the Italian passport . He is a dangerous person and does not deserve it.

Σάτιρα ναι ,κωμωδία όχι...
