Top Comments of this video!! :3
I'm impressed by the number of people who lack a sense of humor. Even though this promotion isn't entirely to my liking as a promo of Vilnius, I find it very well done and funny.
BTW, Canned pizza is a piece of art, wow!

Tourists who come from the West want to experience Eastern European things, so running an ad that implies they won't find any Eastern European stuff anymore is a bit counterproductive. Tourists often ask me where to buy old Soviet memorabilia or antiques. I don't know, but that's what they are looking for. Nobody wants to be stuck in the past, but that's just how it is.

Advert makers set up a “hyperbole” premise with anticipation to massively subvert it, but in reality, Vilnius (and Lithuania as a whole) is somewhat of a mixture of two - some very pretty and cozy spots in city centre, as well as run down wooden house galleries on the outskirts or even within the city.

the street where they were filming the non real soviet part of the video is in the district called Markuciai, more specifically Pakraščio street, its just a small street that has been left out you could say, driving 2 minutes past it and you arrive to markuciu dvaras and a really nice place near vilnia river where you can have rly nice walks and stuff, and driving for a few minutes longer and you arrive at the rich outer city districts

I have visited my family in Vilnius several times and my impression is that it is an interesting, attractive and cosmopolitan city. Unfortunately, I don’t think the promotional video’s strategy is a good one. Too much time is spent on the satire and not enough on the interesting parts of the city. I don’t think it would influence me to come visit.

Lithuania Expectation: Hardbass
Lithuania Reality: Hardbass
I see no flaw!

It's nice that a Westerner like you living in one of the least fancy places of this city has a good grasp of reality and not just either just good or bad.

the amount of people who don't understand satire and want to show only good parts of vilnius is too damn high

Never seen banana in soviet times :D And I was born in 1982.

The clip with tires is filmed at 1 Pakraščio g. Vilnius, quite wierd place, to behonest, some industrial stuff, new stuff, old almost abandoned stuff, sort of mish mash of everything.

I think a recent YT Short of yours is a better promo than this ad.

It's filmed at the crossing of Pakrascio and Subaciaus streets.

I'm kinda neutral about this ad. It's funny and is meant to do a good thing, attract tourists, but I don't know if it will do that. The "expectations" part is too long, I'd say. Maybe people can click off and get bored or even worse, believe that that's how it is right now? I think they should have made this part much shorter and the "reality" part longer. Longer than the "expectations" part even because it is supposed to attract tourists, right? Then who are short and quick clips going to attract? They should have at least mentioned something interesting about these places, even if it's very short. At least maybe this would make tourists more interested. Now I feel like they're going to be more interested in the "expectations" part because it's funny and they're probably going to remember it better than the "reality" part. Or at least, that's just my opinion about it.

When I saw this video, reminded me of some area and stereotype locals in my own country tho. Weirdly not connected to my impressions of Vilnius 😂
I think it’s universal thing, every city in the world has this type of area and people. But still got a little bit surprised by playing this kind of dark humor in the ad. And people got so triggered and angry in the comments😅
I have friends from London, they came to visit me in Lithuania, and they commented that Vilnius is a clean, cozy, safe and beautiful city to live.
But for sure they made traffics and attention on this ad😅

I think it was funny. Unfortunately auto-irony mostly works for a domestic viewer (sadly not for eveeyone). As a promotion targeted at a foreigner, I'm afraid, it can be confusing and misunderstood.
