Really want to thank the Disney wardrobe team for stepping in on half of Emily's outfits.
hi, ur lovely ❤️
Ah the good old days of Disney channel......
Oh it’s not Disney channel
Hi Amanda
Cool
I love that you speak french
"I'm american, white and pretty so suck it up" The series.
This is just a show showing how ignorant most americans are about other contries and cultures. Nothing more.
It's kinda ironic that THIS is the show that didn't have more black characters, considering there's a huge black demographic in France which would've made it quite believable. Nope, just your average single asian and black tokens. Americans really think all demographics are the same, huh?
@@paulgotik and that would be fine if it weren't for the fact that she learns NOTHING! and not at one point her attitude and ignorance come to bite her in the ass
@@Sakisasvictorianmask YESSSSS especially in Paris!!! Finally someone that says that
@@SakisasvictorianmaskTbf, Darren Star also pulls the same shit with New York, which also has a big Black demographic.
Interviewer: “So what did you do to research to the people of Paris to depict them in the show?”
Writers: “We watched Pepé Le Pew cartoons”
I am too France now
Also: „we watched Ratatouille“
@@excessivelyfangirlingbookw3339 ratatouille tried...
@@TehMomo_ I know, I like the movie (although I'm not French so idk what counts as authentic enough) - but Emily literally says "It's like Ratatouille!" when she arrives in Paris.
I would believe it
It's just so... American centric. Like the thing that really caught me was the you live to work not work to live to Emily as if the French not living to work is a bad thing? Glorifying the American work ethic like other countries are jealous we have no guaranteed time off or any work life balance. Yet she doesn't even speak French and has no fashion experience.
It may come as a shock to you, but this series wasn't made for the French people.
@@PasserMontanus It may come as a shock to you, but this serie is supposed to depict the French people. Since it is set in France, the show should have portrayed french customs and their ways of doing things. It should at least be realistic on that point and not be another case of american ignorance.
I suppose it is too much to ask from people who are used to be in their bubble of self-glorification.
She has no fashion experience or fashion sense, what was that wardrobe supervisor thinking? smh
I watched a French vlogger recapping Emily in Paris and he let out this exhausted sigh on that line. The French must get tired of being told they dont really work. They're a functioning society, so work must be getting done! And it seems pretty classist too as I'm guessing there are also French people who have to work their asses off just to survive.
@@Hollyberrystreats yes, we work and are even overworked, especially in offices work. Parisian people have this sentence that sums up their exhausting working life "métro, boulot, dodo" that basically means "subway, job, sleeping" because Paris is so expensive that they live around Paris and NOT in Paris and they spend their time in the subway. They are so exhausted that they massively live Paris for western and southern France. Émily in Paris is a whole fantasy
She makes around 60k a year, yet she's spending a small fortune in clothes. "Emily in debt" should be the show name.
Isn't that just called temporary stepback of the soon to haves?
Honestly sounds like a better concept
Horrible clothes at that.
So Sex in the City should be called Sex in the Debts😅
becky bloom but make it bad
Emily is what everyone hates about American tourists. As an American who loves to travel i always am on my best behavior to make sure I don't leave a bad impression
You sound like a lovely person and are sure to be welcome wherever you travel :)
Believe me I’ve met a fair few ‘Emilys’ you’re not wrong. It only serves to make the decent American tourists that much nicer to meet though.
Thank god there's people like you! As an Italian I can't stand the entitled tourist, but I love people who try their best to be respectful when visiting ❤️
So very true, as a German who used to work in tourism as a student. I feel so sorry for Americans like you whose reputation gets tarnished by these idiots. I kid you not, there once was an American guy who pointed to the river in my city and was like "Is that the Rhine?" and I'm like honey the Rhine is about 600km further west, do you even know which city you're in and when I pointed out that it is in fact not the Rhine he was all confused that there's more than one river in Germany because he only knew one 😭
That's all you have to do -- be open-minded and treat people with respect.
Wait wait wait, so Emily keeps having an affair with Gabriel, even after finding out he's in a relationship with Camille... and then proceeds going to go to bed with Camille's 17-yo brother?
yes
Research fail: age of consent in France is 15. 17 is even legal in 34 US states.
@@RobertMorgan still a pretty weird, albeit legal, situation.
@@RobertMorgan no one Was saying it is illegal, the point is that she is and adult and he is a teenager
@@RobertMorgan that doesn’t make it morally correct..don’t defend the romanization of pedophilia.
"They are whispering to each other in English even if it not towards her"
Let's be real, it just because they wanted to accommodate their American audience who don't understand the language, after all, how could they oblige them to /read subtitles/ for thirty second.
That is so damn sad.. that’s a thing I dislike about English speaking countries (well especially America). They make fun of people with accents even tho these people can speak 2 languages unlike themselves...(sorry a little off topic now that I think about it)
@@StrawberryMatchaTea oh yeah no I totally get it, thats also annoying when many english speaker (i have mostly the US and maybe even canada in mind) dont even bother to learn more than english.
@@StrawberryMatchaTea They speak only one language and it's the most basic one that practically any person learns is school everywhere. I'm Portuguese and I learned English and French in school, and let me tell you French is way harder than English, the verbs alone are a nightmare.
This is a big part of the problem:
Me: Wait, why are they speaking English?
Hollywood: Because we're giving you what you want! You don't want subtitles!
Me: Um... you do know I can read, don't you?
Hollywood: We told you, this is what you want!
Me: Actually, I'd much rather have what I'm watching make sense.
Hollywood: Hey! You don't tell us what you want! We tell you what you want! Now shut up and watch!
Me: Actually, I'd rather not. Got anything different?
Hollywood: NO!
Me: Why not?
Hollywood: BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT!!!!
It' explains why I tend to prefer UA-cam videos like this, and foreign films, over a lot of movies that are made here. Then again, I'm also an American that's worked very hard to become bilingual, so I may be in the minority here.
As an American that went to a French school for 7 years, who said that this was accurate. This is not a love letter. This is lighting dog poop on fire and leaving it on the Eiffel towers door step
I see this show as a hostile act to start a war. France is going to kill us, hell North Korea is planning to.
Something I noticed about her, and I thought was a personality flaw that would be an arc, was how she turned everyone and every situation into an opportunity to enhance her career. It was... almost sociopathic. She was very surface with everyone, used every moment with people as a photoshoot, as a means of networking, to drive her around, to bail her out of situations, to distract her from a temporary emotional disappointment and she never gives back anything meaningful. And I was supposed to root for her.
💪🔥
"Emily in Albany" was such an underrated joke
It’s the fact that every guy falls for her and every guy can perfectly speak English to her that just makes me laugh
Yeah, but wasn't Gérard Dépardieu a sex symbol?
@@akosbarati2239 I haven’t watched the show ever since it came out so I have no idea who that is
@@Person-ws6mj Gérard Depardieu is an actor, very famous in France.
I won't call him a sex symbol though.
@@nanalove3819 ah thank you
@@highkingmargo beauty isn't everything
the devil wears disney is actually the best description ive ever heard about this show
At least Andy learned about her industry tho
Emily looks down on her boss for having an affair with her friend's husband, makes it seem like its a french thing but then continues to have affair with her friend's boyfriend. Her boss says, that she is becoming more French by having an affair. Like what? How can a series generalise having affair as a French thing. Made me ceinge so much.
And all the French guys just happen to be model looking types.
Pretending they do not speak any language except French, even when they do, that really is totally something some French people do.
Although it seems less of a thing these days than it has been in the past.
I would love to subscribe to that present. I live in a Francophone region and can't fill a classroom with people I've met over the years (almost a decade) who speak a language other than French. Sadly enough they also don't retain Dutch either.
My sisters in laws said this 15 years ago. They’ll stare at you and then walk away
Let me guess they forget to say Bonjour and started the conversation by agressely yelling "excuse me".
Yeah if you are rude French people will just ignore you especially Parisian.
Always say Bonjour and 90% of French people will be nice and try to be helpfull.
That's it that the one cardinal rule you have to stick to.
But for weird reasons Anglo Saxons seems to have a hard time with this one basic rule.
They still do it lol 🤣imo this show is bad, nothing interesting in it. I tried watching, got bored. But there's certain stereotypes shown there that are true. For example, the way Europeans see smoking, even the young generation still considers smoking a cool thing. Not the case in the US. The way you're treated as a customer at restaurants is accurate. You'd never send a plate back to the kitchen in Europe, because the temperature of the the meat wasn't right, lol, there's a high chance someone will spit on it if you do (okay I'm exagerating, they probably wouldn't🤣), but you certainly do not get it redone for free lol.
I feel like that line (I forgot what character said it) "We work to live, you live to work" is kinda accurate, but that's just my perspective.
It comes usually because of the fact that most french people are unsure if they're speaking correctly in english (or other language) so they prefer to feign ignorance instead of trying.
Isn't the official mistress thing something the writers read about the French royalty doing in the 18th century and were like "yep, that is what is totally normal by everyone in France nowadays"?
Probably.
They are going to execute someone and parade their head through the Arche de Triomphe in the Second Season.
Except in one Louis De Funès comedy his wife is chasing him throughout the town because she thinks he has an affair. Okay, it's from the '70s, but the main point that the French themselves make fun of the phenomenon. I had a serious Cyrano de Bergerac vibe from the critics, "Je me les sers moi-même, avec assez de verve,
Mais je ne permets pas qu'un autre me les serve."
@@akosbarati2239 Not to be disrespectful, but that's different than what Emily in Paris is doing.
The French film is making fun of the concept while the Netflix show treats it like a normal thing that is part of French culture.
Again no disrespect.
@@akosbarati2239 I don't think it is the same. In French movies and litterature, the cheating, and in particular the cheated husband, can be used as a comedy trope. Though I think it doesn't happen a lot nowadays because the only things I can think about are old books or movies.
But Emily in Paris invented rules that didn't exist, and stated them as if they were the truth. This is a wrong stereotype to say that French people are ok with cheating, but the show treated as if it were true.
"I May Destroy You" is, by far, one of the best shows i've ever seen. Michaela Coel was completely robbed in not even getting nominated. Disgusting.
Right! That was so unfair, there was word about the people from the Golden Globes getting bribed in order to have the show snag a win.
I love her so much in other things and what she's written before. I'm too scared to watch that show in particular because of the subject matter.
I worked with an Emily and she drove anybody crazy. We did have a WhatsApp group to solve things without this person because they would only have does huge insane ideas that would never work. And if we tried to explain she would act up as a kid...
As someone who grew up and has lived in France for 18 years, and has a degree in luxury marketing, this entire show is an insult to the french and the french culture. It also an insult to my profession.
I AM SO SAD ABOUT, "I AM NOT OKAY WITH THIS" NOT GETTING A 2ND SEASON 😭😭😭 FUCK!
Edit: Well idk how to start a petition, but just throwing it out for anyone that does know 😏📝
Me too 😭
Ikrrrr
That is a decision that I have taken personally.
ESPECIALLY WITH THAT FUCKING CLIFFHANGER MAN
I actually cried when I heard.
That show spoke to me and they just ....
Sounds like a typical bad romance novel with a Mary sue that's "not like other girls" lol
Emily having a relationship with the younger brother is just to take advantage of the different age of consent in France, but doesn't translate well to an American audience.
It doesn’t play well with anyone
@@dianeshelton9592 Nobody bats an eye at a 17 & 22 couple in Europe
@@Sakisasvictorianmask I am in Europe, it doesn’t play well here
@@dianeshelton9592 I'm in Europe too, nobody here would care. What country are you from? I'm austrian.
@@Sakisasvictorianmask I’m French and a lot of people still find it creepy that a adult sleep with a minor, maybe not older people but younger generations pay more attention to it.
So Emily in Paris is telling us we need to get you 900 more followers on insta and you get big company sponsorship and swag. We can do it for Amanda
As a Camille, I am begging Hollywood to stop making people with my name either bitches or the one who gets stabbed in the back by someone using us to get close to our lover. 😒 Camille is such a badass name Hollywood, stop wasting it.
Not that this should be surprising for an East Coast Canadian, but your French pronounciation is damn good, which is a relief when watching a video about a show taking place in Paris. So thank you I guess
Okay, I'm just at the begining but BRING BRACK I AM NOT OKAY WITH THIS
Seriously, as someone with anger management issues I felt so good watching it, it made me cry cause I never felt a character being so close to what I felt. The fact that it was conceled really hurt me
i hate -love- to break it to americans, but people from other countries are mostly unimpressed by the US.
also, the "love letter to paris" Emily in Paris is supposed to be somehow found a way to both romanticize AND insult Paris and french culture, it's kind of impressive
Literally in Europe the US is New York, and nobody cares about anything else in that country, well maybe Los Angeles, but as any other country, the important cities are what most people care about, the rest is not really impressing, and the only reason people care about the US it's because it is totally being advertised as where everyone needs to go or where it's cool to go. A lot of people want to go to Tokyo, a lot of people want to go to Paris, a lot of people want to go to London, and a lot of people want to go to Madrid or Barcelona, etc yet you don't see Japanese, French, British, or us, Spanish people, bragging about how we are the center of the world and everyone is scared of how powerful we are. What is famous about the US are the most important cities, as in literally any other well known or popular country to travel to. Bragging about being from the US bc it is a famous cpuntry is like bragging about drinking coca-cola, literally the US is shoved in our faces everywhere, it is not something you participated on to be proud of lol
@@unlimon6382 i know right... ten years ago there was this trend (well, sort of) and absolute fascination with the US and London, but it died pretty quickly. and boy am i glad it did..... the fact that the US is shoved down our throats so much definitely makes/made a lot of people despise the country, as well as the political climate. it's not much better in France/Europe, but i mean... you wouldn't know, because in Emily in Paris the city is clean as heck and the only strike/protest she ever witnessed was on google translate? somehow???
(also, the fact that the show took the stand that the US is much more aware and feminist was,,,,,, truly something).
@@jaman_jy Why would other countries media be shoving the US down their population throats?
I live in Mexico and i can promise you, going up to the US for work isnt seen as "the american dream" anymore. You go up there because there's more money, but probably everyone and their mother knows its a just a shithole with pretty streets.
@@Harleyxjokerforever It came with the old portrayal of the American Dream as well as the popularity of American blockbuster movies. I remember being a kid and everyone wanted to go to America or bragged about having family that went there but now no one gives a shit
Emily in Paris can be quite francophobic. It’s set in Paris, one of the most diverse city and we get two non white characters, one is just there to be gay and black while the other is just meant to say racist things about Asian (because it’s not racist when an Asian person says it, even though it’s probably written by a bunch for white people) or insult the french (but that’s every non French character on the show), everyone is just very in awe of Emily and her Americaness when in reality she is so annoying and fails to realize she’s in France and should probably leave some of that Americanness at the door or least learn French. She fails up.
I get that you're fishing for likes but it would at least have been fair to mention that everything you said and the way you phrased it literally comes from FriendlySpaceNinja's video on Emily in Paris. You're appropriating someone else's work, that's not cool.
@@emmad.2923 do you boo. I wish I cared more.
Here's a thing about Asians (PS I am one). Asians usually hate each other more than other races, because of conflicts between cultures and nations that goes back centuries if not millennia's. So I am not surprised the Asian character likes to insult Asians.
@@phil6748 ça marche ma grosse faisons comme ça, bises
@@emmad.2923 appropriating?? Lolllllllll
my mom loves this show so i immediately knew there must be something wrong with it
I'm sorry about your mother. Does she know that this is offensive?
"Absolutely the fuck it is not!" That could be my ringtone
The only Emily that deserves to go to France is the one from ‘THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA.’ (12346000)
Have I already watched three other videos on how shitty Emily in Paris is? Yes. Am I still going to watch and enjoy Amanda’s video? Also yes.
I honestly have not seen one UA-cam video on how magnificent this show is. Instead I have seen a breakdown of her finances which make no God dang sense even in TV. And her utter treatment of French culture is horrendous. Also those outfits, Jesus. One outfit looks like it escaped the closest of a worst dressed in 2010.
That show was recommended to me by a friend, so I watched the first episode. It was bad, and I didn't know if it would get better so I checked youtube for some opinions. Thank you for summarizing the whole season so I wouldn't have to waste any more time watching the show!
This whole thing makes me think of Barney/HIMYM - "french girls don't count, its like playing tennis with the net down" 😂 😂 😂
Whole series seems to based on that mantra😂

"Emily in the bodybag"? It would be glorious if the French responded with a series about how "an American expert" kills herself in a hilarious accident and her French coworkers have to hide her body and continue her blog, so America won't send them another expert.
This white american savior complex, wish fulfillment of a show. Only interesting character and good acting was the boss Silvie
Sylvie and Camille seem to be the best characters. And something that pisses me off: those actresses are extremely attractive. But Sylvie and Camille look worse than Emily because Lily Collins is ALWAYS perfectly dolled-up: her hair is always in place, her make-up flawless. The actresses that play Sylvie and Camille do not get that treatment (at least not in the youtube videos I've seen), so Collins stands out... A bit, because if the make-up and hairstyling department did a good job with both Sylvie and Camille, Collins would look like something the cat dragged in. It is one of the biggest shows that the whole thing is a self-insert fanfic for Lily Collins.
I’m getting my undergrad for advertising and public relations. When I spoke to my professor about this show, because what the main character does what we are all trying to do as work with our degree she said that the campaigns are smart but weak. These would never satisfy any real agency and she would get fired for promoting brands without the bosses consent. Being bold is important in this field but you don’t go against your boss and get to keep your job😂. Then the cultural attacks on Paris is just...wow.
Honestly, Camille needs to take her redeemable qualities, forgiveness and brothers and get the hell away from these chaotic, rude trashbag people.
Emily in Paris getting a second season and award nominations make me realise I'm still severely pissed at Netflix for cancelling the brilliant American Vandal.
That was a masterpiece.
they cancelled that? noooooooooooo :(( i had no idea
You know a show is bland when even your love for Amanda and her commentary can't keep your mind focused on the plot...
I didn’t realize it until I saw people talking about the underage thing and I had no idea what the hell anyone was talking about. Somehow, I blocked that out but I immediately remembered Amanda’s disgusted reaction to it.
I too noticed how she said she can't afford lux goods and yet is wearing thousands worth of new stuff every day.
Years ago I was in Italy and asked someone for directions, she said she didn't understand English in French, so I asked again in French.
She ran away. It's a French thing.
Yeah... I've noticed that a lot of french people just refuse to use english even when visiting my store in Italy ...
Well, you know what? I can speak english, russian and italian... Just choose one :) and they stare at me and start suddenly speaking french or italian.
Alternative name: Culture Clash: Girl Boss VS the French 😏
I'm here from FriendlySpaceNinja's channel. I look forward to Mothership podcast next year.
Paris is literally the heart of the fashion world, how American of this show to think everyone in Paris is too stupid to understand fashion and social media 🙄
So, I paused this to go watch a trailer for " I may destroy you", and one of the comments was a thankyou to Golden Globes. If not for all the criticism, she might not of heard about it! 😂😂
I've been wanting to see "I May Destroy You" so bad but it's not streaming on Netflix and I don't know how to get to it without illegally downloading or streaming it. HBO is not available in my country.
Is this unlisted? It's not showing up on the channel. Weird.
Commenting for alligator rhythm.
Weird I'm commenting for Al Gore's Rhythm
So they should have called it a Karen in Paris so it rhymed is what you're saying.
“I MAY HAVE STARTED AND STOPPED THAT SHOW 3 TIMES BUT I WAS GOING TO FINISH IT” me with so many shows 🤣🙏🏻
As a European, I can confidently say, the French don't even need Emily's american perspective.
The vagina might be the masculine Le vagin but the beard is the feminine La barbe, so I suppose the two cancel each other out. The trick, in case you are wondering, is usually wether the word ends with a vowel or a consonant.
I can actually say from persona experience there are French people who pretend to not speak English to Americans. It happened in the underground train system, we were trying to get help & when asked if they spoke English (in French, my spouse speaks French but at the time was really freaking out so his French was pretty broken) & they refused to help us. My experience.
It’s not just English. I’m French Canadian, we are use to ask for help. But in Paris no one wanted to help us even the police ! But once I live in France I understand why at least has a woman. Harassment, sexual harassment, theft is daily thing so you become rude. In region is different though.
Netflix has to bring back “I’m not ok with this” istg
The "there were never any issues with her not speaking the language" is actually pretty funny. I moved to the Netherlands for about a year for work. Everyone at work spoke English (or French/German/Spanish in the case of my agents) and most people on the street also knew English.
And perfectly enough, plumbers and other "one-time setup services" like internet installation/washing machine etc. are the only ones that required a translator.
I didn't even learn the language in the year there and never spoke a word beyond "hello/thanks" at the grocery store I went to.
It's ever so slightly different, since English is basically the second language in NL, but I did enjoy how it seemed like such an outrageous, nonsensical idea here, but in actuality that was my life for a bit.
As someone who lives in France, I'm very glad I didn't waste my time watching this POS show lol it was much more entertaining watching your video on it, Amanda ;)
never heard of "I may destroy you " until today
I like teenage bounty hunters 😩 I would love to see more The OA and Anne with an E 😭😭😭 but shows I hate keep getting new seasons
I only saw one epsiode of this, but my aunt watched the whole thing. She works for a French company. So, she's traveled to France a lot. She said that this show seemed really offensive. I kinda got that vibe too. It's almost like they wanted to make France unappealing and that doesn't sit right with me.
"A vaccine for the chikungunya virus"
As someone who got the chikungunya virus about a decade and half ago and still feels pain in my shoulder sometimes, that's random, and also I have to ask: why not for something else also transmitted by mosquitoes like paludism or something?
There are comments above yours ragging on the show for making up a fake virus to have her take credit for. I made sure to link them to the CDC page.
This got nominated for golden globes and "I may destroy you" got nothing. Smh
I watched to show when it first came out and didn't like Emily at all. So every time a french person was "rude" or acting appropriately it made me really happy.
Amanda you should do a video responding to Music by Sia. It's drawn a lot of controversies and I personally find it horrifying.
I believe Cynical Reviews made a video on it and it's well done (although I'm not an expert nor do I know that much about autism/ spectrum) It talks about a lot of the side controversies ..
Aaaaah I was so mad about the Gossip Girl spoiler! Like you I had planned to eventually finish it (there’s only so much spoiled rich kid drama I can handle and I need to portion it out) but now it just feels pointless.
Son, I am disappoint.
I would love to hear you talk about Teenage Bounty Hunters in detail
I haven’t watched the show, I only watched youtubers talk about it. But one line from Emily I could distinctly remember that made me cringe like heck (among other cringy lines) was when someone said the French are experts on social media, and Emily said but “we” (Americans) invented it, implying that she’s better than them automatically just coz she’s American. Like NO BISH, brilliant Americans did, NOT you. The I.Q. is non-transferable.
I would have answered "yeah, well we invented america, in a lateral sense"
(inside the mind of a tv writer(
Monica Geller and Emily sleep with male minors: LOLOL HARDY HAR HI- _LARIOUS!!_

Can both be bad please?
Can I say how much I loved your gossip girl rant was and the neh! At the end I dont know why but that tangent was hilarious. Keep it up Amanda
10:55 ok, so this has to stop: excité can mean excited. "Nous irons (or allons) à Disneyland demain, mon fils est très excité" means "we are going to Disneyland tomorrow, my son is really excited". It can sometimes means horny, but it very often means excited. And it doesn't take a lot of learning of the French language to know this.
As a french, I love the way you pronounce "Gabriel". It sounds italian, and it sounds cute.
Would you review the movie "If I were you"? It's not a recent release but deserving of more attention. Thank you for the video on a show that I only heard was about her "American" clothes.... I'll pass on Emily in Paris.
Take care and be safe 😷
Thank you. Listed the two biggest losses teenage bounty hunters and I’m not okay with this we’re both so wonderful and fuckin magic. Both deserved at least 2 more seasons minimum
"the entire city looks like ratatouille" you leave that masterpiece out of this
Ratatouille is a better love letter to Paris than this mess.
Yesss! Love Ratatouille

It's like an 2000's self-insert fan fiction where the main character is always impossibly young fashion magazine editor, but without the boy band she runs into.
I refuse to believe this wasn’t written by a 13-year-old girl who made it about going to Paris and falling in love with a member of the Backstreet Boys. I think they just updated it by removing the boy band element out of the script.
well this does sound like those bad fanfics where the insert is OBVIOUSLY an ignorat or even terrible person but the narrative tries to justify her and ignores her being an asshole, and/or makes everyone else even more terrible so she looks like a decent human being in comparison.
Hey who knows? Maybe BTS are gonna show up as guests next season. LOL
Instead, she met a kid... Yeeeey...
Omg you hit the nail on the head. That's exactly what it reminded me off. An early 2000s Fanfic with fashion stuck on a teen girls dream of what was high fashion in 2003. It just sucks and I can't believe it is getting a second season 🤦♀️
Honestly the very idea that the French would ever NEED anyone's opinion (especially that of a random American girl) when it comes to fashion and marketing is so funny to me
or on anything really, we're too proud for that lmao
Omg when you put it like that the premise is STUPID😂😂😂
Fashion no, marketing yes. French people suck at marketing. French fashion, and even french cooking is only made to seem relevant because it's french, not because of any innovation.
The idea that ANY company would send an employee to advise a team in France if she doesn't speak French is totally absurd. I can tell you that I work with colleagues in France & we have to hire translators, get certified translations of legal documents, etc., bc in that country their laws require business & legal documents be IN FRENCH. Most countries allow business to be done with binding terms in English, but not France. This makes the underlying principles of this show absurd
@@theywalkinguptoyouand4060 you admit french fashion and cooking is seen as relevant simply because it's french. Exactly how do they need help with marketing?
When I first saw this advertised I thought it would be a show making fun of American tourists, overtime showing Emily learning french and getting immersed in french culture and then maybe in the finale getting the chance to go home and then feeling out of place back in the American office so deciding to return to France
That's exactly what I thought it would be about considering the awards it was nominated for
Hey! That might have been an actual show! Imagine being in France and still thinking america is the best place, what a joke
@@corvus2512 tinking? why, she is a american. she is right, even then wrong.
Can't believe you wrote a better concept of a show like this in one sentence in a youtube comment. Where's YOUR screenwriter job?
Oh my god this would of been so much better
The weird thing is, is that if Emily in Paris just played its premise straight then it might not have been so bad... Like, somewhat ignorant and completely under qualified American girl gets sent to work in Paris isn't a terrible idea for drama.
Just let Emily rightfully faceplant when she first starts out, then make the series about her exploring French culture, France, and the people around her. The more she learns, the better she gets at her job until she's finally kicking ass in a totally warranted way. Still may not be terribly interesting and it's still got to change its portrayal of France to something more accurate but it'd be less cringy than this...
Yeah, that was where Devil Wears Prada movie actually did it right. They had the main character get called out for not putting in the work to understand her industry and job.
Also, I'm sure there are like.... genuine differences between how marketing companies target people of different cultures just as they do different demographics which could have been explored in a semi-thoughtful way, yknow? You want me to see how ~different~ American media is, show me how different American media is.
The main character comes across as too young & stupid, though. Nobody in their mid-20s would be this way. They'd need to change so much in order to make this show work. Ideally they'd recast it with someone who actually comes across as an adult who could work as a professional (like the women in SATC) or just make it a dumb teen drama
@@WinterFogFilms Yes, that's a very real thing! I'm French and work for a French company, we had to hire British marketing experts to open the company to the British market. So.... if Emily is supposed to work with a French market, she's probably not the best suited for it imo. But I haven't watched the show lmao just videos trashing it xD
or maybe she gets fired and becomse a hobo in pairs, that would be more interesting lol
When Luke told Emily 'We're all a little afraid of you", I was waiting for the ball to drop because I was 100% sure he was being sarcastic. Nope... apparently the entire office is afraid of Emily because her American ideas are so intimidating 😐
American's do love to take careers away from anyone who doesn't match their idea of what's politically correct
When that happened I was confused. Trying to think of what she said that was smart.
@@layton6202 what are you even talking about
@@nectar9509 that term automatically gives me transphobia vibes
(edit: this was just a general statement abt personal experiences with the term's use, not trying to insinuate op/only the truth is a transphobe)
@@daisy-td9qs Anyone that makes claims like that without any substantial evidence is pretty pathetic and shows a lack of maturity.
As a French Person, watching Emily in Paris was just ridiculously funny
Will never understand the nomination tho
How was it funny lol
In a nutshell: bribes to the HFPA
I'm not French, didn't even watch it but trailer alone was ridiculous to me.
j'ai vu des américains se comporter comme Emily donc ça m'a fait marrer
@@CyborgWolf Oui, Américains sont comme ça 😅
Emily in Paris feels like a inexperienced teen writing fan fiction about a Disney channel movie.
Edit: just to be clear, this is not an insult to the fanfic writers out there! ya'll are cool, and I know for a fact ya'll could write better than this show.
Omg you're spot on
A y/n self insert fanfic. Y/N in Paris.
@@MsLilly200
Honestly i wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
...

Huh.
I'm giving a dirty look right now. I feel attacked even though I'm no longer a teenager. We don't bash fan fiction, it's writers, or (the craptastic), Disney.
Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.
The more the years go on, the more these "end all be all" awards like Oscars, Grammys, golden globes etc are being regarded as garbage. I am here for it all.
There's a reason why the ratings for those shows have been on a nosedive. Besides all the politicization of those shows, the decreasing quality of writing and characters in the ones nominated have have contributed to the awards decline.
They’ve always been bullshit it’s just that it has gotten easier to see all these movies/shows and realize half of them aren’t worth the awards 💀
i tought the reception of this year's oscars noms was rather good
I don’t care about the awards, but I also really hope Shaun the Sheep 2: Farmageddon wins the Oscar for best animated feature. Not only because that would be hilarious, but the landscapes and character designs are very good.
People is more aware of the political games behind the scenes that get a movie or serie nominated or even win a prize that they don't deserve (likewhen Shakespeare in love won over Saving Private Ryan). Even if they don't, social media helps to confirm the viewers prospective over the gaslighting of the awards.
As a norwegian girl in france, you definately need to speak french to work 🥲 So yeah, what she said about her language-skills not really being a problem is a valid point 😅
Well yes because French people are awful at speaking English and often refuse to make any effort to learn it because of arrogance. Speaking English the way to open to the world, that's the "universal" language wether we like it or not.
@@vee1766 we are not that arrogant. Actually, we (French people) are really not confident about our English, our accent. We suck at English. And we love when foreigners try some French, even if it's just the basic (bonjour, merci, au revoir)
@@vee1766 or perhaps because you live in France, work in France and so you deal with French people.
@@vee1766 wait! French people don't speak English because of their accent and stuff. Second- it's Emily went to Paris not a French guy moved to US, so, it's Emily's job to learn French and adjust into culture not French people's job to bend over for Emily
@@vee1766 Imagine thinking people are arrogant for preferring to speak their OWN language in their OWN country.
I wore a beret (they sold them at H&M) in Stockholm. Multiple people commented I was throwing off an Emily in Paris Vibe. Emily in Paris has ruined berets (༎ຶ︿༎ຶ)
Noooo! Please say its not so, I bought one last year😭
Oh noooo! I love wearing berets. I guess i gotta make sure i don't wear one abroad
Take the look back! Don't let "Emily" ruin what you love. Wear what you like regardless.
Don’t let a stupid show ruin a fashion you love!! 💚✨
WHAT NO I ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY WERE SO CUTE AND WANTED ONE WHY
Instead of a love letter it feels like one of those creepy DM's when a dude who doesn't get an answer from you starts to insult you lol
Couldnt have said it better myself
Lmao 😂😂 Good one
Daaaamn
A youtuber Friendly Space Ninja does a great job explaining how horrible Emily in Paris is. Both as a character and the show
I LOVE that channel!!
Thank you! Came here to say this!
I saw his video and it's so detailed 👌🏻
YES YES YES!!! This video felt like a point-by-point rethread of the Friendly Space Ninja video. Also, FSN is actually French, and he offers an interesting and super detailed perspective!
looked in the comments for this
The best summing up of this for me was in an article saying the show is 'A boomer's vision of what a millennial's life is like'
Or a millennial's dream of what they wish their life was like lol
@@queencleopatra007 idk if millenials would typically be cocky about their own ignorance like Emily is
Omg that’s so accurate....
As a French person, this show is offensive on so many point, I think I could spend days detailling everything that is wrong with it, and not even be halfway through it
Personally, I think that the best way to apreciate french culture is watching french series or movies
But I have to tell you that french cinema is really different than your classical american cinema:
It's mostly focused on personal stories, what we call "tranche de vie" (lit. "slice of life" which is basically a clip of a moment in the life of the caractere, and the whole movie is about that (it can litterally be one day, or it can be longer, but most of it is not really longer than a year))
I mean, there is a movie that the plot is around the name of a future baby, so ...
I wouldn't be able to recommand any good series or movies to appreciate the french culture, but "Emily in Paris" is, for sure, something you shouldn't watch if you want to learn more about the french culture and traditions :)
Call My Agent is a great show set in Paris.
There aren't a lot of quality series. Call my agent could be the best to begin with french tv. Cinema is way better though.
Thanks man. I’m from the UK, but I’ve recently become really interested in learning about French culture thanks to this fan project I’m in. And for the other people recommending Call my Agent... where can I watch it?
@@Cheetahgirl_Studios It's on Netflix in the UK (original title is Dix Pour Cent, 10%)
@@lisamortini8567 Thanks!
With both Emily in Paris and Music being nominated for a Golden Globe, I looks like someone is trying to burn the award down for the insurance money.
Ok. Someone please make Pierre in Texas or something and then have him sing "Sweet Home Alabama" like a crazy person and have just one person clap to him... Cause that's how the " la Via en Rose" scene would work in here.
Gad El Maleh has a comedy show something to that effect, Huge in France
Gaston in Houston.
@@floraposteschild4184 , yes !
“Pierre in Texas” WHEN I TELL YOU I SCREAMED LMAO
Oh I can imagine the shitstorm should a foreign media company that pokes fun at American stereotypes the way this show does 😂
1:20 "The devil wears Disney" that was a good and an interesting way to describe Emily in Paris.
When I first heard "Emily goes to Paris" ngl, I thought it was the OTHER Emily who never got to go to Paris in the movie. I would ACTUALLY watch a show about THAT Emily going to Paris, gaining confidence, and gaining a leadership position/taking over Jacqline Follet.
@@oleanderwyvern I would rather watch that version of Emily in Paris than this Lilly Collins in stereotyped France version.
The biggest take home from this is that Camille needs her own spinoff show and needs to kiss girls, probably Mindy
definitely watching that.
I would watch this
Mindy is awful, the only thing that saved her was being a poc. She was just used so someone can shit talk china and france without severe repercussions.
@@MT-zu2uq .....you know...maybe that'd actually add a great character dynamic!! Mindy, the kinda asshole-y girl who looks down upon French, comes across this sweet delicate Camille who she can't hate even if she wants to!! Oh no, something must be wrong here!! That will definitely bring some funny moments and ACTUAL character growth for Mindy(and I want an arc about Camille finding out what the hell her bf did with Emily)....?? But, if it's made by the same team as 'Emily in Paris' then fuck that!
@@MT-zu2uq Isn't the actress also of Korean, and not Chinese, heritage? Brb.
Edit: Yup, she is.
i like how the whole show is emily coming to paris, she disses the french, and also the french worship her
Accurate description of the whole series
Seriously I can understand being drawn to foreigners but damn why is everyone such a simp. I mean no offense but Americans are like everywhere, I have never met a Canadian or Brazilian in my life
As someone from Albany, Emily in Albany sounds like a great indie film.
I'm on it
I literally spat out water. Funniest dig at the creators trying to get the name to rhyme and people not giving two shits
Albany huh? So, do you like steamed hams, I was told it's an Albany expression :))
isn't that the Paul McCartney/ Stevie Wonder song? it goes
Emily in Albany, i share a house with another three
side by side with the defunct whaling facility.
Ingrid Goes West realness
After this show and Sia's Music, I'm having trouble believing anyone when they say "this is a love letter to X, Y or Z" 'cause as it turns out, this really isN'T LOL
Me too buddy. Me 2...
After "Music" and "Emily in Paris" I'm also having trouble believing being nominated or awarded a Golden Globe is any kind of metric for quality, much less even basic human decency.
@@manicmuffin Yes! Yes! You're SO right.
Just like the new Disney's Mulan lol. It was supposed to fix Chinese stereotypes from the animation, but it created even more stereotypes and everyone just hates it lol
It's a love letter to ignorance
