Killing My Lobster has created a hilarious Oakland Travel Video.
A fabulous vacation wonderland awaits you on the other side of the Bay Bridge!
The video is reminiscent of the Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Videos.

This video is badly out-of-date. I live in Temescal and it hasn’t been a hipster location in a while. It’s been solidly yuppie, or at least yipster ever since the Temescal Cafe closed and the White Lion got turned into a wine bar. At least get your facts straight, hipsters.
This is a fucked up video made by fucked up hipsters, who are of the “paleface” agenda.
1. Lake Merritt does not smell – it is actually quite beautiful.
Hipsters – kiss our asses. Love, Oakland
For some reason this video kind of bothers me, maybe because I live in Oakland, and I talk shit about it constantly, but not for the reasons in this video. They come off as way-up-their-own ass San Franciscans who associate Oakland with every stereotype they’ve heard about it but never experienced because they never cross the bridge to see a show, eat the great food, or take advantage of the Temescal farmers market.
Oakland has alot to offer,is alot of fun, and isn’t near as shitty as these scared, pink rich kids would have you think….
To hell with the temescal farmers market. The yuppie, prius driving, breeders there scare the shit out of me. God damn, please don’t let them replicate! And it’s not the “white lion”, it’s biggums silver lion, a scabies ridden, metalhead, shithole not a prissy hipster hangout.
I saw a Flipper show in a abandoned storefront in “The Temescal” in the 80s….
I still miss Bertolas Italian restaurant though.
Ya think Eastmont Mall will ever be trendy?
As an Oakland resident, I applaud this video. Stay away from Oakland!! It is a very, very scary place with absolutely no redeeming value. If you live in SF and attempt travel or, god forbid, residency in Oakland, you will likely be gang raped or become addicted to crack cocaine. Don’t believe the hype: Lake Merritt constantly smells like a 16th and Mission sidewalk at 4:00 AM on a Sunday morning. For your own safety and cultural relevance, STAY IN SAN FRANCISCO!!! You have been warned.
That is all.
I hate this fucking video so hard. Besides it being offensive, it’s just. not. funny. Nor has KML ever been funny. And I have seen them many times. Comparisons to Second City are hilarious. And not in a good way. And I would bet that MOST of the KML team are from shitty places in other states. Because it’s mostly shitty people from shitty places who think it’s funny to bash Oakland. Fucking small town drama majors and film students.
If you don’t know what Beeper City is or M&B Mall……..go home.
OAK-LAND!
….from way back when it was still the 415.
Are these people from the midwest or something? Go back where you came from, you are making fools of yourselves. Thanks for such a lame and offensive video.
Dear KML,
I thought it was pretty good?
