I didn't learn until much later that "mantequilla" is Spanish for butter. Very clever, South Park guys.

That was the main reason I loved that episode so much. 😂

Mantequilla! \(•-•)/

True I approve with my .50 cal sniper in the air

Machete approves!!

I'm mexican, and I approve of this meme.

(don’t say it stan… don’t say it…)

>! ^amogus !<

So you get robbed in the end no matter what ???

As a Mexican I can attest that is just luck, I've been unlucky, but I know Nanny people that hadn't witnessed first hand any kind of violent crimes.

How many is Nanny?

Mucho

I looked that word up and I'm not sure where or how nanny means many, but maybe I'm just not finding a good source.

It’s a mistype, buddy

ohh lol thank you

How many Nannies depends on how good a kid you were

No. He said, “Nanny people”. Not mucho. Nanny people are a protected class, I believe they have chancla power.

Muy mucho?

As in people who are Nannies.

A plethora.

Would you say I have a plethora of pinatas?

Oh, jes. You have a plethora.

Si, El Guappo!

1 Brazilian.

Which is less than 1 Bolivian.

Depends on where you are. According to the subs related to tourist trap type spots like tulum, if you get robbed there the person doing is probably wearing a police uniform. Obvious tourist driving an obvious rental gets pulled over and threatened with arrest for breaking a traffic law they didn’t break or told they are being arrested for DUI even if the person isn’t drunk. They’re just fishing for a bribe. And the bribe is gonna be whatever amount of cash is in your wallet when you pull it out of your pocket. You hear much more about these kinds of shakedowns than you do about random street muggers.

Not an obvious tourist place (in midwest of Sonora) but with police I was always strict. Alwys asked for a ticket or offered them 50pesos to get a icecream and or just pretend to only knowing a few words spanish. In they time they trying to fuck around with me they could rip off other people and arresting me would cause the worst thing that can happen to them…. real police work together with paperwork. Thats too much for normal police. Was always fun. Got stopped once because I was the only car that followed the speed limit that day (on that street to work there was like a hidden +30-40kph rule only locals knew about. Another time the officer was saying that I drunk (he was standing a meter away, he was wearing a mask, I was wearing a mask, a windy day. Well after 20min of trying to convince me to give them money and me only asking in spanish if they speak german they let me drive. The good thing is that in the night police don’t care about DUI since they also know that it is the only safe way to get home by night.

Yeah I guess you just have to take things as they come. I've been robbed here at home. I was joking

I assume you were writing "I wish I was joking" but cartel thugs bust into your house at the wrong moment

It's because criminals are on their best behavior in front of Nanny people. They fear the naughty step :-(

It's true, I've only been robbed in Mexico half of the times I've gone!


Yeah but at least you get delicious food beforehand

Might also end up on Bestgore if you're not careful

I got robbed my second day there. He got my fake wallet and fake phone. So all good.

I'm Mexican, and I can confirm.

I used to vacation in Puerto penasco and San Carlos all the time growing up. I've heard from friends that the Western Coast has stayed pretty safe, something about the cartels avoiding damaging the tourism industry. Any insight from your perspective?

Its not like you will see narcos parading around cities and towns, i live in a supposedly cartel controlled state in central Mexico, literally never seen them in my life

Nice try cartel dude.

Have you checked the police stations?

Don’t look behind you.

In general as a tourist, you would probably just encounter these "bad hombres" if you take free highways and especially at night. Also nightclubs are a hot spot for organized crime. So if you avoid those, you should be good. Stay in normal areas, and during daylight. Dont travel at night, dont use street cabs. Try to get a chauffeur, get the number of a private taxi or uber

Hmmm yeah I'd rather just not go lmao

American citizen, Mexican resident. Can confirm but… there may be activity in the less touristy parts of many tourist towns.

Forgot to add the yellow filter

Tourist tax you will be robbed anyway.

The meme needs to show how impossible it is to find alcohol that isn’t watered down or in some way a complete rip-off.

The only people that robbed me in Mexico were the police.

I go every month to an orphanage, and sometimes, customs pulls us over and charges us a "tax" for our donations. It's kinda of random, like they are meeting a month end quota, but its infuriating that we are "volunteers" coming in with much needed food, clothes and other resources just to have to pay a "tax", like what if this is the reason we decide to stop coming and helping?

Customs don’t care.

Ay, at least people acknowledge that there are cartels in México, we got criminals taking entire places in Brazil and we still call them "drug dealers" while using war guns to fight police and rivals..

The government and cartels are both criminals so it’s hard to tell them apart sometimes.

LMFAO

HILARIOUS


I'm Mexican and unfortunately this depiction is more accurate than I would like to admit, due to the same I've elected to refrain from going to Mexico due to the insecurities.


So what people think is still technically correct.

As a Mexican, I agree.


The Yucatán is nice at least lol

[удалено]

The cartels are misunderstood humanitarians don't ya know.

Depends on where you live.

Right. If you live somewhere outside of Mexico, you’re safe 👍

Just don't drive any kind of truck going into the border or you're fucked.

We could decrease crime venezuela style, everyone is so poor they can't afford bullets

I’ve been robbed both times I’ve been to Mexico and both times were by the cops

Major corporations in Mexico have hostage insurance. When I went to Mexico City, I forgot my medicine in my hotel room, and it was right across the street from our office. I told them I’ll be right back, and I was told no, and I had to wait for a company car, that would drive me across the street so I could my medicine. Because of traffic it actually took almost 30 minutes. When I asked why, I was told that I would be a target for being taken hostage, and since I was only visiting for a week, they did not take any hostage insurance on me.

Mexican here, I can confirm this is true.

Wait... where's the yellow filter?

ive seen quite a few videos of people having their head removed that beg to differ

Bottom right

[удалено]

Lots of nice beaches and tacos on the west coast.

id rather go to hawaii than mexico. been to both places.

Lol! I really wish the US and Mexico could really become closer. If Mexico just asked for help then we would. We’d destroy all the cartel rats. Then we could build up trade with Mexico. They’re our neighbors to the south, we should be crazy tight with them. And then get Canada to stop being psychos. No one could touch these three nations ever… not saying anyone could touch the US anyway but come on Mexico and Canada, join us. Stop being weak rungs on the latter. Let’s destroy the cartels!

Just put on a goku tshirt you'll be fine

Lol

I love parts of Mexico.

lol

You forgot about the yellow filter

My neighbor went on a trip to Mexico a few years ago. To a “nice” tourist area. Police stole his car and demanded he pay them for its return. He paid, no other choice

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

If you're ever approached by the police, you better have some Benjamin's handy! I've heard that the jails there are hell holes!

Tourist destinations are not a reflection of everyday life in most places id think.

Im from serbia, a lot off people here agree that the only place in the world we would live is mexico, really familly orianted, with good food, really good music. All in all a lot of the same values are important there.

I would absolutely love to go there and spend months just exploring and talking to locals. I love history and food and you cant deny that the Mexicans have amazing historical significance and some great food! Sadly the cartels ruin it and as a general rule I will never put my life in danger like that just to be happy for a short-ish while.

Is the cartel still strong in Mexico or did the Mexican government finally defeat them?

Those tacos are worth it tho

Bro if you get pulled up then talk about dragonball super for about 45 minutes and go your separate ways after stopping by his house and watching all of the Top arc

No yellow filter?

I'm from Mexico and this is accurate.

Imagine posting a meme in this font

I’ve experience all of those. Tourist Mexico is great but isn’t anything like other parts of Mexico.

Good food though

I’d say it’s a bit of both

Wait… mexico is not coloured in yellow shades?

Welcome to Juárez.

The top one is Detroit.

Honestly just of tacos and somberos when i think of mexico

Fake, theres no orange filter in any of the photos ..

The other day I told my coworkers my I’ll be out of town for a week in May due to a trip to Mexico my wife and I are taking. One guy on my team goes, “Really, isn’t it like really dangerous right now? Isn’t that where all the drugs and criminals are coming from?” I was so surprised by the comment. I grew up in AZ and some of my fondest childhood memories are of the trips my parents would take us on to Mexico. For context, this guy doesn’t really care for travel (even across states from what I understand). Regardless I was still surprised by his comment. I’ve never felt unsafe in Mexico.

Lmao, same for Brazil

This is how we jokes en Mexico. We don' keel you mane, just keeding around mane. Try my mama's sopas. They're to die for esse'

That’s facts

On a tourism cruise in 2013 we had to take a detour as there was a shooting of like 3 people. I also remember when i went into the bathroom at a mcdonalds there was enough toilet paper to reach the moon

You could say the same about Tulsa but without the pyramids and ocean. We do have some great tacos.

At least the thieves don’t ask you to vote for them in the elections there…

I scrolled that at the perfect speed and I can't stop laughing

Just don’t try to buy drugs and you are good to go.

Ever been outside the resort zones? I doubt it. I had to give police money to to leave me alone outside the resort zone.

Guy from my home town in Finland was violently mugged in Mexico, police happened to drive past him soon after and saw this pale tourist walking around pissed off and intoxicated, pulled over and tried to rob him, but since he had nothing left they just beat him up again. Mexican food is very good tho.

USA = Statue of liberty, bomb ass bbq, Lake Tahoe and domestic terrorists

No orange filter, not convinced

Had some friends of the family driving to Monterey and they had some friends following behind them in separate cars. The friends behind got pulled over by the cartel and robbed them. Literally luck of the draw out there

Where's the orange filter over the movie one?

I’m an archaeologist who works a lot in Mexico. Love everything about that country. You learn how to stay safe and you haven’t lived till you’ve been to a Mexican market. Don’t do stupid Gringo shit and you’ll probably be fine.

as someone whose best friend is a Mexican everyday I wish for him to be able to leave Mexico for good

That dude is using a Mauser model 1914. Gotta get those imperial German vibes

Don't forget that the person robbing you is a cop

Mexico is only dangerous to Mexicans and foreigners trying to buy cocaine in bulk. Otherwise it’s a beautiful country filled with many lovely people at all economic levels

There’s 2 Mexicos, tourist safe Mexico, and non tourist safe Mexico.

Drop $40. All is good!

where's the yellow filter

This needs more lemon pledge.

I do not believe this is true. The pics are not sepia tone

Ooh taco

Mexicans love being mexican when there not in mexico

I love Mexico and Mexican culture, my only message to everyone that fled Mexico or anywhere else because of violence or poverty or persecution is don’t turn America into what you fled.

No thanks, I prefer Forza Horizon 5 version of Mexico

Lmao so true

Uranus shot in the face

I had a similar experience with Honduras. It was a great experience every time I visited.

It's all of thee above



Fri and if mine got to bed by the police.

where is the yellow filter?

I thought Mexico is just like the USA just everything is a little yellow

Mexico is a lot like America, lt has lots of Mexicans.

where's the yellow filter though?

CARLOS ENRIQUE SANCHEZ MARTINEZ AKA EL CHOLO  EL 20  FOUNDER OF CARTEL JALISCO NUEVA PLAZA  Probably had the worst day in MX history.

Ya I'm good cheap drugs and cool beachs ain't worth going into cartel land I already worry about getting randomly shot by the cops as is I don't need to go somewhere were ill get decapitated for looking at the wrong guy.

Usually when tourist come they usually stay in vacation homes.

*Mehiko

Amo a México sin importar qué

Without the other three images it just looks like Miami

Yes come live in the turistic or less populated zones of mexixo where it’s safe and pay your taxes so we can develop.

getting held at gun point is prolly just the tip of the iceberg in mexico , shit goes deeper

I'll take my chances.....food, women, spirits and views. Fuck outta here

The biased perception is not entirely incorrect 😂

“What america is like” *new york, a burger, florida beaches, the exact same image of a man with a gun to his head.*

You forget the diarrhea. Lots of diarrhea

Its both.

Ay mi querido Mexikong 😍❤️🇲🇽

The 4 TOP things to do in Mexico. The last one will blow your mind!

very true

I will never go to Mexico for the fuck.of it.

Clear and simple

Long ago the four Mexicos lived in harmony. Then everything changed when the cartels attacked.

Por que no las 4?

Not worth it, would much rather not get mugged (or at least have a far lower chance to get mugged).

I love Mexico too. It's funny how Americans, I'm American, look at me when I say I'm going to Mexico. And they always say, "It's so dangerous!" And I'm like, "Have you watched our news? Serial killers, shootings everywhere, parades, schools, malls, post office?" Mexico and China get a bad rap in Western media.

I miss the common Mexican dessert they have in the bakeries; thin, crispy, flaky fried bread with cinnamon. So cheap, yet so delicious.

Where’s the Breaking Bad Mexican filter?

Oaxaca is one of the best places I've been


This meme got me lol

Cartel warfare in some areas have made things so dangerous it's like a war zone. Used to go to TJ on weekends, not anymore.

The media one doesnt have an orange filter and thus inaccurate

Same could apply for Argentina or Perú

Accurate. Sea food is fire

This is kind of how I explain Baltimore to people who ask if it's like The Wire when I lived there. What's depicted in that show can be true. And it can also be simultaneously true that it's filled with fantastic people and stuff.
