The viral video of an Italian comic parodying the evolution of foreign tourists driving in Bali is currently being discussed on social media. The video depicts the evolution of foreign tourists from being unable to ride motorbikes to getting annoyed seeing other tourists just learning to ride motorbikes.
The video was made by an Italian comic named Christian Giacobbe. He is a comic who has lived in Bali for quite a long time, for five years, to be exact.
From his observations, Chris succeeded in describing the evolution of the foreign tourists riding motorbikes in Bali into a short parody video.

In the video, Chris shared on his Twitter and Instagram account, he captioned it “The evolution of scooter riding in Bali”. Chris described three phases in the evolution of a foreign tourist who rides a motorcycle in Bali.
The first phase he called ‘The first day riding a motorbike in Bali’. In the video, Christ demonstrates a tourist riding a motorbike for the first time. Christ looks like he’s having trouble controlling the gas and steering.
Then in the next phase, Chris referred to it as ‘After a year riding a motorbike in Bali,’ he pretended to be a foreign tourist already good at riding a motorbike. Feeling that he is already good at riding a motorbike, Chris pretends to be annoyed when he sees other tourists who cannot ride a scooter.
“Come on, you tourist,” Chris said with a sigh like he was annoyed.
In the last phase, he calls ‘5 years of driving in Bali’, he pretends to be an online motorcycle taxi often seen on the streets of Bali. He looks irritated at the foreign tourists’ behaviour, driving recklessly in Bali. Chris eloquently parodied the online motorcycle taxi drivers’ annoyance by turning on the horn while saying, “Bule Gob**k,”.
From the video uploaded by Chris, he received a positive response from netizens.
“Is this from personal experience?” one user asked, and Christ replied, “Of course,”.
“Oh really funny,” wrote another user who was amused by the viral video.
