Cuban parodies the viral video of Georgina Rodríguez: "This is how you make a potato omelette in Cuba."

The Cuban influencer Geylis García has parodied a viral video of Georgina Rodríguez on Instagram, humorously showing the preparation of a potato omelette in the context of the energy crisis in Cuba.


The Cuban influencer Geylis García is causing a stir on social media after sharing a humorous video on her Instagram account, @iam_geylis, in which she parodies the famous Spanish influencer Georgina Rodríguez.

In the original video, the partner of famous Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is shown preparing a tortilla de patatas, a classic of Spanish cuisine. However, Geylis takes advantage of the context to humorously address a well-known issue for Cubans: the energy and food crisis on the island.

In her version of the recipe, Geylis imitates Georgina's introduction, saying: "Georgina Rodríguez makes potato omelet in Cuba." However, the parody soon reveals the real difficulties facing the Cuban population, such as frequent blackouts and food shortages.

The influencer shows, while laughing, how eggs spoil in the fridge due to the lack of electricity and how the situation complicates even the simplest tasks.

Through this content, Geylis aims to convey a social critique of the difficult situation faced by Cubans, but without losing the touch of humor that characterizes it.

Her video has received hundreds of comments from followers who have identified with the described reality, thanking her for her ability to make them laugh despite adversity.

"I don't know whether to laugh or cry," "A little laughter doesn't hurt amidst so much pain," or "I was going to laugh but it hurt," are some of the comments that can be read in the post.

The parody has quickly circulated on social media, generating both laughter and reflections on the energy and food crisis in Cuba. Geylis's creativity in using a viral video of an international figure has been well received by her audience, who praise her for giving visibility to a painful reality with an entertaining approach.

This is not the first time that the Cuban influencer uses humor to address social and political issues, once again demonstrating that, amid difficulties, Cubans always find a way to make others laugh and cope with the situation with ingenuity.
