Two Montenegrins were watching a woman drown in a river. One of them says, this is horrible! We're just standing here! The other says Good idea, let's sit down.

One thing that unites all these countries is that they have more citizens in germany than in their actual country

When a Bosnian turns 18, he goes to Croatia searching for work. When a Croatian turns 18, he goes to Bosnia searching for his father.

As a Belgian man I really appreciate this channel because it helps me differentiate between the different types of construction workers.

I am Italian and I've always refused to believe these stereotypes.. Until this summer I went to Montenegro and guess what? I had to wait one hour outside my hotel cause the receptionist guy was SLEEPING so he couldn't come to open the mf door. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Divided by hate, united by memes. Welcome to the Balkans. Great video, as always, my fellow Bosnian 🤡🤡

I'm an American who lived in Serbia during the late '90s, and in my experience the Serbs tend to break down into one of two types of people: they were either incredibly friendly and would happily share their last bowl of soup with you or they were secret police/army and some of the scariest psychopaths you'd ever meet. In either case they tended to be extremely knowledgeable about their history, I remember asking one of our embassy drivers "What's the story of that castle?" I was expecting a quick little response, instead he begins by saying "It all started 500 years ago when the Turk invaded..." While I was not prepared for such a lengthy answer at the time, I definitely believe that the Serbs helped instill my love of history.

You know there’s a saying in a good rivalry you need two people who are incredibly similar with one key difference

"Montenegrins are considered lazy people because they consist mostly of rural areas, have a mediterranean climate and have moutainous terrain with little to no arable land" Me, a Greek: *sweats intensively*

There is a Jugoslav joke about where a wife hides money from her husband. From a bosnian: in a book, from a montenagran: under a shovel, and from a slovene: puts it on the table with the words 'take it if you dare'. As a slovene i love old jugo jokes

I remember telling an "Englishman, Irishman, Scotsman" joke and my Serbian friend burst out laughing at the punchline, saying: "we have the exact same joke for Bosnians!".

I respect you respecting the Kosavan stereotype of not mentioning them and pretending they don't exist.

Balkan KZfaq comments are weird because you have either "♥️ to 🇭🇷 from 🇲🇰" on some random video comparing military powers or they will be calling eachother "gay dogs" in the comment section of a PewDiePie video. Both sent from their apartments in berlin

A balkan prison was filled with people around the balkans, everyone got a wish Albanians - Gear Serbs - Alcohol Bosnian - Guns Montwnegrian - A Chair Everyone looked at him questionably, The montenegrian explained: well the first thing i need to do when i wake up isto sit down to have a rest from my sleep

Considering one of Slovenia's main cultural exports is the anime-inspired deathcore band Within Destruction, I am starting to think that the stereotypes were just randomly assigned to countries and the people just felt like they had an obligation to follow them

This is not a Balkan agendapost This is an important lesson in history

There are 5 seasons in Balkans: Spring, Summer, Autum, Winter, War

As an American with Croatian ancestors, I found this video both informative and hilarious 😂😂😂

As an austrian who grew up 2km from the slovenian border I sure came across a lot of slovenian stereotypes but never heard anything about them being gay or femboys.

As a Montenegrin I can confirm the meme. I sleep from 11:00PM to 11:30AM

Turned the radio on driving through Montengro. "Dobro jutro radnici crne gore, 13 sati je, ovo su vijesti"

Interestingly, the German speaking Slovenes over the border (who vehemently deny their slavishness due to historical persecution) in the Austrian province of Carinthia also have a distinctly "soft" Austrian German accent. Even for non-german speakers easily distinguishable from the harsher variants north of the Alps.

As a balkan person i find this sad politics actually brainwashed people to hate each other instead of being friends its just amazing how simple minded people are and can be controlled by some politics/media propaganda. For example Macedonians and Bulgarians where on good terms until like 2015. Until a new goverment arose in bulgaria and started claiming macedonia is bulgaria now the hate is unbelivable its just unreal.

as an Australian, i hitchhiked through the Balkans in 2017. it was great, everyone loved me and the hospitality was perfect because you know...Australia? my dutch girlfriend was pissed though, cause many people kept asking her for weed.

fun fact: the word "Macedonia" in Italian can also mean fruit salad. Which could relate to the fact that the monkeys' favorite food, the banana, is a fruit Edit: for all the people who don't understand sarcasm, i'm not serious, it's just that under a video of stereotypes it was good as a joke. And for Macedonian I can only tell you that I respect you, after you kick our ass I respect you even more

I came as fast as a Romanian pickpocketing wallets in Western Europe

As someone from Merica, I know little of the Balkans, but I have a stolen story. So this Army recruiter comes to our high school, and he yammers on about the army, and someone asks him about stories from where he was stationed, and at one point, he was stationed in Macedonia, and he and his crew were given r&r, so they went off to explore the place they were at right? Well one of the first things they discovered, was that a US servicemen’s salary translates quite well into Macedonian currency, so they rented a hotel room normally reserved for literal diplomats, and spent most of their time there just drinking and partying, and came back to the base at the end having spent less money in a week then they would have if they had just stayed on base. They net profited from partying in the Balkans. That’s all I have, y'all have a good one!

2:30 When I think Slovenia I think "that place Slavoj Zizek is from"

I grew up in melting pot Canada, my two best friends were a Serbian Male, and a Bosnian Female, and my girl friend was Albanian, and our city also had a massive Croatian population. Basically I grew up in little Yugoslavia, but in Canada, and I can honestly say none of these are stereotypes, they’re just facts lmao. Literally the stereotypes fit those people perfectly, to the point it’s not a stereotype anymore.

The Balkans remind me of how here in Latin America we're all pretty similar and suffer the same problems yet all these stereotypes arise and everyone mocks each other This post was made by someone with a coast (not Bolivian) Edit: 7:40 yo we love fried pork chips here a lot too

I will say as a Macedonian we are so based when it comes to history and we refuse to listen to anything else 😂 feels like we are in our own bubble

Its so funny that i laughed at nearly every meme despite being born in germany. Its is hard to describe if your parents/relatives arent from there. Calling someone a "crno gorac" because he is slow, or your sarcastic grandparents just making fun of the situation. Iam happy to be from there and having this sort of humor in my life. I really do hope the tension someday gets away, because deep down of what makes you you, is this sort of balkan mentality. and you cant devide this by any means

I find it hilarious how both Montenegro and Estonia share the stereotype of being slow and sleepy

I grew up in St Louis, Missouri. Went to a Serbian Orthodox church, and grew up in a Bosnian neighborhood (100,000 Bosnians live in St.Louis, that's 1/10th the population). We also have lots of other Balkanoids there. All these stereotypes we're obvious to me from a small child.

as a Slovak femboy, slovenian femboys are the best buddies

As a Brit I am fascinated by Eastern Europe. I must admit that I generally regard Croatians as being pretty badass. Yet here's the strange thing, when the Euros are on I root for Croatia. Even when they're playing against England!

The lazy Montenegrin stereotype was continued in Yugoslavia since a lot of Montenegrins took up positions as directors and managers in state-owned companies throughout the country. Those were well paid jobs that didn't require you to do much work nor produce any results.

As a Thai, am proud to have my nation represented as Serbia in the picture

ME: Dad what came first the egg or the chicken? DAD: THE MACEDONIAN, MY SON, THE MACEDONIAN

As a Bosnian, this was hilarious. Sir, may you reach 1 million subs, hopefully with less struggle than Bosnian heads passing the vaginal canal.

There is actually a pretty easy explanation to the stereotype of Bosnians being stupid. My great-grandfather was born while Bosnia was still "technically" part of the Ottoman Empire, so he was schooled in alhamijado writing, writing our language with the arabic script, using arabic letters to represent single sounds pretty much like the Latin or Cyrillic alphabet does. During his life, he went from Ottoman school kid to Austro-Hungarian Jäger to being a train conductor in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia to a pensioner in Commie Yugoslavia. Even though he spoke 3 languages and knew how to write in 3 different fucking scripts, he pretty much did not know any well. Oh, and obviously as Muslims, pretty much none of our grannies went to more than 4 grades in school, leaving many of them literally illiterate. I still remember this 90something year old woman signing a document with an X, as she did not know how to write, as her dad did not consider schooling girls of any importance. So yeah, kind of explains it. :D

I really love how you incorporate memes into your videos, as it's easier to relate lol. Keep it up!

As a Mexican who lived in the Balkan for 2 summers it was so weird how similar we are lol. But serbia is my favorite! Živeli. Should do a video on the 90s war songs 😂😅

I'm Brazilian, and when I tried to explain this to my mother she kind of understood it by saying: "So like [Insert Brazilian state]". I'm concerned.

Ah yes. The Balkans, my homeland.

Fresh!! Love the content. Love the delivery. The ideas are not "presented". The ideas are personally delivered with openness and honestly anticipating understanding and appreciation. Well done. Well done.

We hate each other yet we love each other.

as a Bulgarian knowing our stereotype is being Mongolian for some reason im excited but dreading the next video (ps love your channel love from 🇧🇬🤝🇷🇸 id love to visit serbia

Ah yes, My favorite Bosnian KZfaqr 🇧🇦💪

❤😂❤ pig chips you meant Čvarke great video love it, I left with my family back in the 70 ‘s it was a great place from my memory ❤

Interesting tidbit: In Norwegian, and many other germanic languages, the word krabat, which now means boisterous but cute child, used to mean people who make Attilla look tame, due to Tilly's use of Croat troops in the 30 years war. It's also where the word Cravat (a type of neck tie for dandies) is from.

As a slovenian I think the stereotype also comes from how slovenia was always more progressive than other countries from balkan, for example, it held the first pride parade and was way more tolerant of queer people than something like bosnia or serbia for example, alot of queer people fled the other countries for better life to live here. That's just my theory tho.

Love your videos !!! As a Serb 🇷🇸raised in America 🇺🇲 and not having any superficial hatred towards any ethnic group in the balkans, I love seeing this content of how petty we all are and/or promoting Balkan unity and peace. I'm starting a you tube channel as well where I'll be doing something somewhat similar called American Bastard. Keep up the amazing content 👏. 💪

I'm half Slovenian and I loved this!

Macedonian’s biggest fears are Bulgarian dictionary, haplogroup map as well as 5th grade history textbook.

Loved your video. As a Bulgarian living in Vienna (which is pretty much the ultimate Balkan melting pot) it was really interesting how all Balkan nations hate each other (mainly because all of them see themselves as pretenders for the title best nation ever). While at the same time everyone is soooo similar. Looking forward to your video for the rest of the Balkans.

Great video yet again. You are my favorite Bosnian youtuber, keep it up.

Cheers from Ireland. Super cool fun and interesting vids!

Stereotype about Croatians as bootlickers (or sometimes as "Austrian hostlers") was coined by Serbs. It stems from the fact that Croatia was a part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Reign of the House of Habsburg brought many improvements, made a big cultural impact and actually built Croatia in those times. Even today, there are roads and buildings made by Habsburg monarchy, which are still in use. But, under the reign of the A-H empire, the fact is that Croatian people of the time were recognized as a constitutional nation. And that right was earned during wars against the Ottoman expansion toward Croatia and further toward Central Europe, when Croatians fought and bled heavily in order to stop Ottoman's progress and to keep their cultural heritage... which they've actually succeeded, as opposed to other Balkan nations/countries, which were for centuries entirely occupied by the Ottomans. And that's one of the biggest reasons why Croatia and Slovenia are culturally different from their eastern neighbors, and why their cultural heritage is more aligned with the western civilization. The other big reason is acceptance of the Catholic church (lead by the Roman Pope), after the division of the Christian church into Catholic and Orthodox (so called the great Schism of 1054. AD).

Me when I go to Slovenia and don't see lots of cute femboys. "Those bastards lied to me."

Covjek je stvarno stavio Omcu u video😂😂 Keep up the good work

austrian here: living in vienna means being familiar with all the different kinds of balkan people which gives me just enough insight to appreciate the top tier memes. stray strong slovenia ^^

This is fun to watch as an Austrian since we are the border from ex-Yugoslavia to Western Europe I guess and we have so many people of former Yugoslavia living here that fled the war…gets interesting when they all mix despite the hate these different nations sometimes have towards each other…

As a Macedonian, I can say that this is very accurate. Keep up the good work. Поздрав 🇲🇰🇲🇰

I’m from New Jersey and I imagine that the hate I feel towards every other state is exactly what the balkans are like except turned up to 11.

They asked a Serb if he wanted to be a Gypsy?."Ne brate,dosta sam bio jedan put" kaze on.

The monkey thing for Macedonia started as a barebone insult from the greek and greek aligned views, initially it was received fiercely to a point of physical and insulting combat however it was simmered down over the years because the ultras/supporters for the football team from Prilep blatantly call themselves "Majmuni" or monkeys. So it stopped having that initial derogatory meaning where there is no need to aggressively respond to it. Just a little info dump.

Your videos always make my day! Thank you for all the hard work you do!

I Like How the Balkan and Scandinavia are So Diffrent yet Still so Simulare.

You forgot that another stereotype of Bosnia is real life mine sweeper

“Slovenian when spoken sounds softer” *Gorenska has entered the chat*

Thanks for the break to laugh, man. Been rough as of late but kicking back w/ a beer and your content reminds me that it'll be alright 'cause I'm not from the Balkans

Greetings from 'North Monkeyland'-adjacent Bulgaria. I just found your channel, it brings me much joy because no one west of Rijeka or east of Bucaresht truly understands the balkans and the intricate racism we have woven over the past centuries.

08:24 that is a turkish movie character called recep ivedik btw

As a Slovenian, I am very thankful for your explanation of the origin of the femboy stereotype.

As a Serb, I can confirm, bread, meat and raw onions can keep me going for days.

"Molim?" "Opalim te golim" "Jer tako?" "tako" Average Balkan conversation:

massive respect for the thumbnail map having serbia fully intact :D

My man looks like he just came out of the siege of Sarajevo in this video.

Balkan history always seems like random /pol/ shitposts and memes to me, but it never fails me.

We are told to hate each other, but it is best when we do not.

hands down, you have the best transition I've seen

My mom is from Croatia and I'm surprised that there's no stereotypes about Croatian men being lazy mama's boys due to the Italian influence.

The funny thing about Haso is that he’s a foreign fabrication. As a Serb from Sarajevo, I can tell you with 100% certainty that Mujo’s sidekick is Suljo. Haso was, as my dad put it, created by Serbians who didn’t know that Suljo existed but sometimes needed multiple Bosnians in their jokes.

The Montenegro one is incredibly accurate, like right as im watching this video, my phone is at 3 percent and im too lazy to go on my pc and continue watching youtube. Its 23 : 37 and im too lazy to even sleep 😂😂

As a Macedonian this video is really funny ngl The song in the background while you where talking about Macedonia💀💀💀

I didn't know about Slovenians being portrayed as femboys and I think it's as random as it can be. Probably due to the lack of real stereotypes and ignorance of history. I'll just give you a few historical facts from the last 100 years. After the first world war, the German municipal council declared Maribor to be part of German Austria (a country x23 bigger than Slovenia and much more powerful). Slovenians declared Maribor to be part of back SHS and stormed Carinthia (Koroška) with only 4000 men. In WW2 Slovenians were attacked from all three sides (Italy, Hungary, and Third Reich) and yet resisted until the arrival of the Red Army. In 1941 Ivan Hribar, the then mayor of Ljubljana committed suicide (shot himself in the head) rather than officially surrendering Ljubljana to the Italians. And lastly, though the Yugo war in Slovenia lasted for only 10 days (due to the homogeneity of the nation - because there were no Serbian minorities) no one expected it would last only 10 days. And even though the Slovenes betrayed the Yugoslavs in Serbian eyes at the time, I think it's fair to say that Slovenians had the balls to leave the congress and be ready to fight for their own homeland against a much bigger and stronger country (Yugoslavia). As for the language, I always thought Serbo-Croatian sounded softer and much more melodic. Slovenian is relatively similar to Czech and Slovak whose vocabularies have been extensively influenced by Latin and German as opposed to southern Serbian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, ... was influenced by the Ottomans. Anyways, not that most of you care but I wanted to share this. Slava Slovanom!

Поздрави от България ,много добро видео 🇧🇬

My boy didn’t forget the Recep Ivedik Show in turkey what a chad

seeing the “monte****” made me chuckle. You guys are wild 😅

I love your channel for its 2balkan4you-ness, good content

can't wait for the next vid on Balkan stereotypes, finally someone doing us justice and explain to the rest of the world

I live in Florida, this channel inspired me to go to Hungary, Czechia, and Austria. I’m going to Croatia, Serbia, Albania next. Thanks for making me care about a part of the world I knew very little about

Bravo care - great video. The Balkan people need more of what you are doing.

As a Brazilian, the relationship between the balkans remind me quite a lot of South America

On the flip side to the Slovenia not being under Ottoman rule (much): the 3 times the Turks tried to invade Austria with the Sultan at the helm (Siege of Vienna doesn't count, prime minister went rogue there) 2 times going through Slovenia broke the advance and ended in a route one way or another. Mind both times they experienced summer rains in Dolenjska, which for those who don't know the forests are a coinflip of regular forest & concealed bogland, uneavewn terrain and general river silliness like the Krka river carving a ditch where it flows meant the camels got sick and died off & the bronze canons were lost in various ways.

Proud to be Croatian

A video about yugoslavia: ‘’ *USES RECEP İVEDİK IN THE THUMBNAIL* ‘’

BTW at 2:59 we don't say "trudna". We say "utrujena".
