Javier Berridy is back with his signature humor in a new video on his social media channels, where he humorously depicts the various types of Cuban immigrants newly arrived in the United States. In the video, the Cuban comedian dresses up, characterizes, and performs as six archetypes of Cubans in the country: "The One Who Was a Millionaire in Cuba," "The Lazy One," "The Critic," "The Fighter," "The Clueless One," and "The Miami Critic."
"The One Who Was a Millionaire in Cuba" laments leaving behind a supposedly comfortable life on the island, while "The Lazy One" gripes about the necessity of working in the United States. "The Critic" finds nothing to his liking, especially the food, which he claims lacks flavor and doesn't measure up to Cuban pork or avocados. "The Clueless One" struggles to adapt to social norms, such as dating women. "The Fighter" is determined to conquer the world, and "The Miami Critic" never stops pointing out the negative aspects of the city.
The video, shared on both TikTok and Instagram, has garnered a flood of laughter, applause, and even personal experiences and opinions in the comments. Javier Berridy, who has lived in the United States for 20 years, shared his parody that strikes a chord with many.
Comments range from humorous to critical: "I am currently a mix of The Fighter and The Clueless One"; "Everyone was a millionaire in Cuba"; "The only truth is that the food here doesn't compare to Cuba's." Others took a more critical tone: "If you don't like the U.S., there's the door… no one here will miss you"; "I identify with the Miami Critic"; "Literally," are among the hundreds of reactions.
