First video:

She's absolutely right about Argentina's accent. But on top of that, Argentinians talk like gattling guns. So fast, and with a vocabulary too similar to Spain's, that I just cannot understand what they're saying most of the time.

As for Venezuela, she's right and wrong. Some do sound like that, but we have a variety of accents ourselves. More info in the next section. One thing she forgot though is that we love:

1-Replacing every R with an L or vice versa as if we were drunk japanese. How much varies by region, though some just can't say things like "Profesor" or "Por Que", they have to say "Profesol" or "Polque".

2-Skipping letters, syllables or excising out sections of words to unnecesarily shorten them. "Para Adelante" > "Pa'lante", for example. Or "Ingle" instead of Ingles.

3-Maracuchos are incapable of speaking without screaming.

Second video:

1-Well, no one here has ever confused Venezuela with Minnesota, so......

2-Yes, we curse a damn lot. Yes, we are pretty artistic with it. Yes, Vaina is the most versatile thing in the word.

3-Yes, What'sapp is too used. Overused. You know how it feels to receive more than 30 WA messages every 3 minutes that are nothing but goddamn spam about overpriced food, whining, and generic "feel-good" and "God is Awesome" messages?

In the past, it used to be Blackberry Messenger, because everyone had it. Now it's What's app. Nothing has changed.

4-FUCKING YES WE DO. Someone got shot? Can't buy food? Crime is over the roof? All commented as casually as if we were talking about the weather.

5-Unless you're like me and act like a street cat to everyone you meet, yes, we speak friendly to strangers more often than not.

6-HA! But yeah, they are sacred. Especially now that they are harder to make and most people have to resort to the ever-practical Arepa.

Now, there are other kinds of tequeños that are bigger and crunchier, but those are not sacred, they don't even compare.

7-Yeeeeaaaaah......it depends, actually. You see, he was severely hated because he was blamed for everything (not always his fault, though some things indeed were). BUT, the chaviztas cover at least 1/3 of the entire population, at least half a decade ago. And even today they are in a fair amount.

So most people talk shit of him as if he was the Devil himself, but the contrary is still very common.
