Eastern Europeans Stay Cheerful

“Life is beautiful. How can you be depressed?” EASTERN EUROPEANS:

A wide-eyed bald man in a white shirt stares into the camera with an unnervingly cheerful expression while the video cycles through bleak Eastern European landscapes: gray skies, industrial ruins, abandoned trucks, and a dilapidated house. The joke contrasts the cheerful claim that “life is beautiful” with grim surroundings, parodying outsiders who cannot understand why Eastern Europeans might be depressed. The upbeat music, 405Okced’s “Creelles Town” featuring Lucas Boato De Souza, makes the exaggerated smile and bleak montage even more absurd, so the clip works as a reaction to forced optimism or surviving miserable conditions.
