PFIPIFs - Vol. 13 - Railway Safety, Latvian Style!

Wow. Been a while since I classified a video as a PFIPIF (Peachy's Favourite International PIFs), but this is absolutely deserving a spot on the list of fame here. This is absolute comedic gold from Latvian Railways. It transcends language, so I don't even need to be particularly fluent in Latvian as it seems to need very little dialogue, and what Latvian text there is that is important is translated here. Unfortunately that does mean that for any sight-impaired viewers, it's a bit of a no-go. It is basically an almost Wallace and Gromit style claymation sequence of people doing various things wrong on the railways (crossing in non-designated spots, throwing stones at the railway, driving their car over a level crossing) framed in an almost cutesy, very comedic way - no gore, nobody really dies, although a bride and groom switch heads when they collide from hanging out their train windows... Well done, Latvia. Well done.

3:58 - Note to self - waving a $100 bill at a train will not cause it to stop for you.

[@tarkelprice6875]

Especially not in a country where the dollar is not legal tender lmao.

[@yaremer]

@@tarkelprice6875 Dollar is widely used in post-soviet countries and in 90s was in fact lot more reliable and stable than any of local, national currencies. I can't be sure about Latvia, but in Ukraine/Russia until today people are selling/buying serious, expensive things (e.g. houses/cars) mostly for dollars, not for hryvnia/rubles. Respectively, same can be said about bribes.

[@HugoLaStrange]

[@FaimortiseArt]

Сколько нужно тонн доллоровых купюр, чтобы остановить поезд? Тепловоз весит 90 тонн (примерно), пассажирский вагон весит до 60 тонн (примерно), груженый товарный вагон может весить до 180 тонн. Если масса долларов будет привышать массу поезда более чем в два раза, то поезд удастся остановить.

[@hermanuslemmer1695]

​@@FaimortiseArt Using Google Translate, this says, "How many tons of dollar bills does it take to stop a train? A diesel locomotive weighs 90 tons (approximately), a passenger car weighs up to 60 tons (approximately), a loaded freight car can weigh up to 180 tons. If the mass of dollars exceeds the mass of the train by more than two times, then the train will be stopped."

[@ToastedAlmond98]

These adverts were based off a Latvian stop-motion cartoon called _Avārijas Brigāde_ (which loosely translates to _Trouble Crew_ ). The lead characters were the three guys in overalls who frequently appear in the adverts, the eponymous _Trouble Crew_ . As far as I can make out (not knowing any Latvian myself), they were the equivalent to the Three Stooges: Give them a problem to solve, and they'll end up making it worse in their attempt to solve it.

My beloved youth year animations! Creators of "Avārijas Brigāde" episodes often mixed international slang in funny latvianized way. At 3:26 guy in a car hit a chicken and said "Kiš, Hasta la vista". "Kiš" is latvianised Russian word "киш" which in English mean "shoo". "Vista" in Latvian translates to "chicken" in English. And you most likely know the "Hasta La Vista" quote from T2 movie. All together in English is "Shoo! Good bye, chicken!". We in Latvia when viewed AB episodes, laughed our socks off.

[@andyjay729]

Thanks for that bit of trivia! Knowing this, I'd imagine Latvian comedy writers have gotten a lot of mileage out of "hasta la vista".
