It's more hilarious when you know that, in France, BFMTV is the french Fox news...
GingerLaird
"I know he's making fun, but now I kinda want a croissant." - Reporter says internally.
SendNudis
Ugh now I want a croissant reading this comment.
Aeryon101
He's actually talking about gastronomy and french breakfast after that, for a few seconds at least
kingkongkeom
"That's a good point, I'm gonna make croissants for breakfast now" - me, German guy, right now!
TheOGPooner
That was fucking hilarious

He goes from pasty white to beat red real quick. I love how it seems he is having fun with it too, not upset.

That was my favorite thing out of all the wonderfulness in this gif: watching his transformation into a tomato

He is happy that people are happy

If there is one thing the French love more than wine, its foreigners speaking French in mocking stereotypical accents! Do it some more lol

It’s because this line was paying homage to an old Steve Martin bit: https://youtu.be/DOJDNChwgBw

cheezeBurrger
This is a funny compliment to the reporter, nothing more, nothing less. Curb the offence ya'll
Laheeho
I love that 1 episode of Dexter's Laboratory taught every millennial a simple French phrase.

He’s doubling up on his 90s references. https://youtu.be/cl3P5iIafuI

Don’t forget and maniacs. D’accord. Je t’aime. Au revoir au revoir.

It’s all he can say

As soon as he said it I knew where he had seen it, brilliant! ?
This was part of a Steve Martin joke 427 years ago: https://youtu.be/DOJDNChwgBw
PickledHerring
Yeah, saw that ep of Dexter's Lab back in the day when my kids were little and thought, "Oh, the writers are Steve Martin fans!"
OBM1
That is amazing. I love that DL episode. I love it even more now that I know the origin. Brilliant. Thanks

It’s so true tho. I’m 28 and remember cheese omelet for this exact reason. Lol
BahamutBBob
Was that in the first episode after the show was picked up, or the short from when Cartoon Network did a bunch of shorts, most of which
ended up being adapted into shows? I'm curious, because I haven't watched Dexter in years, but remember enjoying it.
PearjuiceATX
I will always remember that episode.
Fistouille
And one that's not even correct, since it should be "omelette au fromage"
InternetExplorer2001
But also Au jus is cow juice
pthalio
To quote Homer Simpson, 'not quite blood, not quite gravy'
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
It's from a Steve Martin bit about not being able to speak French where he says it wrong like that. The dexter bit is a reference to that
Oh I didn't know that, thanks

That was made false on purpose ;)

what the gay is going on here?
IamforgettingallmyJokes

Now why you think that's gay?!!
Cuz it's from France or...? Are just using gay in place of an expletive? Am I out of touch?
Buddasac
His nipples are out, in case you didn't notice.
ArtOfKarolMichalec
No, hes obv flirting with the news anchor
gerardMajax
seeing the previous pic, he might be more drunk than flirting
Its the same thing in my book
don't drink and flirt, you might hit on someone !
News anchor didn’t object
Doorplease
Yes it’s going on here.

IWishAussieAnimalsWereMoreCuddly
Ngl, I always thought the French to be rather humourless when it came to making fun of their culture, but this guy took that rather well lol
ElaineTheNPC
Also it was jokes but nice jokes. He was appreciating French stuff. That's like joking about Canadians liking hockey and maple syrup.
RaymondChoppard
I'm French and that was fun. And I think the atmosphere was a bit enthousiastic.
Lulabel73
Have you been to France? They loved making fun of my Aussie accent. It was all in good fun.
we make fun of all french accents among us.. so.
Satsugaisuru
Just don't bring "white flag humour" and you'll be fine with any french.
The fact that waiving a white flag means surrender is a testament to how bad ass y’all were at war. The fact that people don’t know that :(
Sansdurlannite
It's just the white flags jokes that aren't funny, because the ones telling them usually think they're true. So they're just insults.
Historically speaking the fact that waiving a white flag represents surrender means the French were badass at war. Look that shit up.
Imo it's part of our culture to constantly joke or make fun of ourselves, so I've always enjoyed jokes about my country, because they stem 1
from outsider's observation about my country, like things I've never thought about twice before, like our super weird counting system, or 2
historical rivalries with England, and so on. But I'm sick and tired about seeing mostly "surrendering monkeys" and "white flag" jokes 3
because it just shits on every sacrifice and tough times my own family had to go through back then, even though I didn't go through it 4
personnally I just don't find it funny. Plus it's not even clever or anything, kinda just feels like an unnecessary cheap insult.
Groose
Oh man you've only met the shitty french
Man I’m loving all these positive comments from French people. I just wanna say though, I’m sorry if I insinuated that the French don’t 1/3
Have a sense of humour at all. The white flag thing makes perfect sense. As an Aussie, I’d hate if people made fun of our defeat in 2/3
Gallipoli in WWI. Some things are just off limits, you know? 3/3
kendie2
The only defeat we make fun of you for is against the emus.
Lol, that’s fair.
Andtheworldwentwhite
And to be even fairer them emus is tough!
Well it depends really. We love all kind of humour, satyr and caricature. But the stuff like "You surrendered"
I always beat that down with examples of WWI. France gave their children to defend that line. WWII was unlucky fate, no choice, no blame.
Thanks for your support then, it's truly appreciated when we got a lot of shit for it!
mormacil
WW1, Napoleon, Franks, Gauls. France has a rich military history of going toe to toe with the largest empires.
Came back planning on swinging for a second I expected an argument. France backed our Revolution, we should never forget loyalty to freedom
That was more self interest but yeah, much like the Dutch. France earned US respect the hard way, with blood and tears.
The French often itch for a worthy opponent, so much so, they often fight the French.
just isn't really funny and hint at a very dark and painful time in our past. Like, I'll joke all day about our terrible (or sexy, depend...
who you ask, I guess?) accent. Or the difference between french and french canadians. Or even our smelly cheese! But I have a hard time..
finding WWII jokes funny, especially when my grandad often talk about the occupation and how hard it was during family dinners.
RaccKing21
Major respect for you guys. You helped us regain Serbia in WWI. Will never forget your sacrifice.
OnceUponATimeInAzeroth
Your grandad was a certified badass, WWII was brutal and lefts scars non/visible. I'm sorry those "jokes" continue to cut and appear.
NecroNikolai13
Viva la resistance and rest easy to those who didn't make it
koreantoiletghost
There’s a podcast I liked called ‘hardcore history’ from Dan carlin and that really opened my eyes to France’s involvement in those times.
Y'all didn't truly surrender, so it's a dumb joke. Y'all slit the throats of Nazi officers in the night. Blew their asses up.
Silas007
Dont tell this guy about Vichy.
We all had our traitors, friend. Even the USA had towns flying Nazi flags in WWII. Just trying to give our allies their due credit.
You did what you had to to protect you and yours. Well, your ancestors at least. Also, I prefer satyr satires myself!
Very true, it was mostly to avoid a massacre, but a lot of people fought how they could, as much as they could. Which makes the jokes even..
less funny, because it was literally a fight for freedom. Anything else is fair ground for banter tough!
