It has been 10 years since Cleveland-based comedian Mike Polk Jr. put out his first version of the “Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video.” The video, which has 10.3 million views to date, eventually had a second — arguably better — edition a few weeks later.
Then, there was 10 years of Non-Hastily-Made-Cleveland-Tourism-Video content.
But so much had happened to the fine city of Cleveland since — LeBron leaving, LeBron coming back, the Cavs winning a title, LeBron leaving, the Browns having legitimate promise — that there had to be a third video.
Thankfully, Polk came through in time for the MLB All-Star Game. As part of a segment for ESPN, Polk unveiled his third (safe for TV) edition of the Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video. And hey, it wasn’t bad!
“We’re like Vegas, but cold 10 months a year.”
Nicely done.
And, of course, the video wouldn’t have been complete without a shot at Detroit. At least you’re not Detroit, Cleveland.
That video was worth the wait.
