Hey Siri, what's meme in French? In French, meme is mème. Mème? Mème. Mème. Alright, let's do this. Bring in the mèmes. Imagine the trouble she has trying to introduce
herself in France. Gemma Pell! Tupac. Vouspac! Because he's formal. He's formal! Oh my gosh. Cos he’s formal! If you have to explain the mème... I feel like it's not a good mème. Kim Jong-Un. Kim Jong-Deux. Napoleon Bonaparte. Oh there you go. Napoleon Blown-Aparte. Wow. Oh my gosh. Interestingly... This is my kind of meme! Very good. Very good. Napoleon, Napoleoff. That's a good one. Napoleon, Napoleoff. What do the French think of Napoleon? Are you proud of him? Because he kind of did undo your revolution. Right? But he was also, you know, like, great at
conquering stuff. He's like the top three historical names in
France. There's, Jeanne d'Arc, Napoleon, and... Daft Punk. Are we just ignoring that WAND is called a
BAGUETTE in French? Wait a second. Yeah, la baguette. In Harry Potter? His baguette and Voldemort's baguette were
brother baguettes! And Voldemort was obsessed with finding the
elder baguette. The world's most powerful baguette! Before all other baguettes will bow. Wow. In French, Jay-Z has four-twenty-ten-nine
problems. Okay, you need to explain... Is that how 99 is said? You need to explain the French counting system,
right? First of all, if you know how to count to
20, you're set. Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept,
huit, neuf, dix, onze, douze, treize, quatorze, quinze, seize, dix-sept, dix-huit, dix-neuf,
vingt. He can count to 20. He is set. Then you've got to know the tens, so... Dix, vingt, trente, quarante, cinquante,
soixante… I'm pretty sure you just said croissant. Soixante! Okay, okay, okay. Just checking, just checking. We never pronounce the ‘t’. Okay, sorry. Sounded a lot like it. Just saying. It did! It did! Wow, a croissant hiding in plain sight! Then it gets to 70. Then what happens? So then you go 60-ten. 60-ten. Okay. 60-ten? It doesn't make sense. So they ran out of ideas, and they were like,
let's just add 10 to it. Soixante-dix. Okay. 80 is interesting as well. 4 20s. Quatre-vingt. And then 90? This is the combo of both! Quatre-vingt...dix. Okay, so 4 20s plus 10. And then you just add the numbers on top of
that. Yeah, simple! So you don't go 60 plus 30? Even though those are two individual words. No, because it's odd numbers. Don’t like odd numbers. Josh, can you not over complicate things? Okay, next up. Spanish: The H is silent. English: Many letters can be silent. French: All letters are meaningless, every
living thing is born without reason. Every language: What is that thing? French: Qu’est-ce que c’est que cette
chose la? That means what is this thing? But it literally means “what is this, that
this is that, this thing here?” Yeah. Absolutely. Wow, too many rules. French people, when you speak English in France:
“We don't do that here”. I was surprised actually, recently when we
went. I was trying to speak French, and everyone
was like, no, speak English. Super welcoming after the pandemic, I think. Post Brexit. Ahh! What we were experiencing was pity. Exactly. Reading French… Listening to French. So is the kind of like “er…” Is that like a kind of attempt to hold the
talking cushion? Absolutely. Because I've noticed that Juno does this. She's like, “Daddy…” I'll be like, “Yeah?” And she's like, “Today we, we, we, we, we,
we…” And you can tell, she hasn't worked out what
she's going to say yet. But she just knows if she keeps saying we,
she'll work it out and then she's like, “We…could go and get some ice cream…?” The thing is though, in French the “er”
is also used as a sign to be like, “I'm going to butt in now”. - So like someone's speaking...
- Oh, really? ...And you're like, uh........ and then you wait for
them to finish and then you go straight in. It's like indicating, in the car. It's like the warm up for your sentence. You start honking as you come towards the
junction. Will je suis. Chanteur et rappeur.
[Singer and rapper] It's will.i.am! I'd be interested in what the commenters think
about this. I've got a theory that will.i.am actually
isn't famous in America. What do you mean? He just comes over and does game shows in
the UK. And everyone's like “Oh, he's that famous rapper
from America”. Is he on a lot of game shows? He's on like Britain’s Got Talent and stuff. But I wonder, does anyone know who will.i.am
is in America? But he is really cool as well. Tonight is going to be a good night. On X Factor. French peasants: Death to the King! French King: I'm sorry, is this some sort
of peasant joke that I'm too rich to understand? Oh wow. When your French friend says he's going to
treat you like a king… Not a cell phone in sight. Just people living in the moment. I love it! The good old days. Mr. Bean movie! Coffee? Oui. Sugar? Non. You speak very good French. Gracias! This film, Mr. Bean's Holiday, is actually
based on one of my favourite films of all time, Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot. - Jacques Tati.
- Oh yes, that’s famous. It's basically like Mr. Bean. But older and French. Really good. Why divide people by unrational things… When you could divide them by whether the
word for cotton candy is valid or not. American English: Cotton candy. Good. French: Daddy's beard. Not valid. Wait, what? La barbe à papa. But Americans are very good at describing
the thing In as simple a way as possible. The trash is a can that you put trash in. Trash can. Sidewalk. You just walk on the side. Whereas we like to make it a bit more mysterious. The pavement. Daddy's beard. Daddy's beard! I'm really interested in French history. Oh yeah? Name 15 French monarchs. Louis. That's on me, I set the bar too low. There in Lar, the deposit of the bacon art
area is weary. Là à Lar, l'arrhes de l'are de l'art lard est las *Singing* La la la la la la la la la la la Your auntie felt your auntie. Ta tata tata ta tata. *Baby noises* Last up… This meaning goes away without a hundred senses
of blood, it makes sense these healthy holy breasts on the murderer’s signature. What? S'en va ce sens sans cent sens de sang
c'en a sens ces sein saint sain sur seing assassin. *Nonsense French noises* Alright, there you go. Before you leave I've got a little present
for you. Okay. From Brittany. Really? You've had lots of stuff in Paris... This time you have le gâteau breton. So straight from Brittany. This is great with a coffee in the morning. It's got caramel in the middle. It's amazing. Can we have it now? Let's have it now! Wow! Oh that looks good. That smells incredible! It's dense! It's dense, huh? You feel the butter. Oh that's good! That'll go good with a coffee. That is very good. I've never had anything like that. It's almost like a French treacle tart. It is! But more buttery. Halfway between a treacle tart and one of
those weird biscuits you get with a coffee. You know, in fancy restaurants. Okay. Well, that is excellent. That's good. I think we should actually go get some coffee
to have with this. This is very good. In the meme time... A JOLIE vite. See you later guys. Bye! Au revoir. Au revoir!
