à Avignon, il y a un restaurant appelé "fous de Fafa" tenu par un couple d'étrangers anglophones (mais je ne sais pas de quel pays)... on suppose que le nom vient de la chanson.
you know that feeling when you discover something on youtube that existed for years and is so great and there are hundreds of videos of it and it only gets better and better? i am so fucking happy right now!
@@Jason918114 Netflix only produces shit. Because that's what most people consume. So yeah you can find better stuff on HBO. Incluiding the special of FOTC and the series.
French people probably see this as a really strange song : it's all the French words and names that English speaking people know, and are taught in schools........ all strung together!
I am a french canadian, and the first time i stumbled on this song was a few years ago,and out of context it indeed seem like a strange song, but now that im a fan i just laugh at those french stereotype.
I made french people hear this song (the original that is) and they didn't understand a word of it! Which surprised me greatly. And I was a wee bit disappointed.
as a french native speaker, from France, their accent is strong but very "worked on", like if a not very good english french speaker struggles against it, this is part of what it makes it funny to frenches I guess (+ french stereotypes, that underlines how our culture is seen weird to english speakers).
Basically the girl in the song (Bret) realised that the man (Jemaine) doesn't know how to speak French because he didn't understand when she suggested they go for a swim. She calls him out on it, he plays coy then admits he doesn't know French, she insults him, then he convinces her to go dancing and they make up. Not a direct translation, I don't know a lot of French, but that's the gist of it. The whole joke is that the man doesn't actually know how to speak French, just the little bits and pieces that you can pick up from pop culture. It's a good time.
Nicolas Édouard Parzy-Jagla In what world would it be considered racist or degrading? It’s not making fun of French people, it’s making fun of English-speaking people who think they can speak French because of the words and phrases they picked up on in pop culture.
As a native French speaker - and I presume I'm speaking for all of us - this is wonderful.

congrats
MrJackWorse I’m going through the exact same situation here!
Me too and I'm only 4 years even later then you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So proud of these two. Jemaine did more acting jobs while Bret did more music composer jobs and won an oscar.
An prime example of how beautiful life is.
I knew highschool french would one day let me in on the sex jokes of a Kiwi french comedy song
This is the French national anthem, right?
Yes i want that !!! In my France !!!
Goes with the American anthem: ua-cam.com/video/zftKpiI6_sI/v-deo.html
yes, such a kind thing for two kiwis to cover our national anthem, it makes me feel so patriotic :D
Yeah, seems legit.
Je suis français et cette musique est magique

@@MrEllegi1 - Netflix is a wider audience.

@@arniemarnie Thats right, but here in Latinoamérica we don't have HBO yet :'(
Thanks to my year 10 French teacher I understood all of this. Sublime.
I am a 50 year old frenchman and I still don't know what "Foux du fafa" means :D
@@stephanedegremont4961 Me neither?
@@stephanedegremont4961 it doesnt mean anything. The entire song is a parody of how english speakers perceive the french language.
Best french song there is ever
Close 2nd by Ween "Ode to Rene" ua-cam.com/video/lzYGcUNgr5o/v-deo.html&ab_channel=destr100
I understood non of the language while I understood every bit of the meaning and laughed all the way through. FOTC are so talented.
wow, Bret can sing really high pitched
Get me a small man's wetsuit
Fellow Citizen BITCH
I'm French and I'm glad this exists.
Can we stop and appreciate how good Bret is at playing that box thing?
He is pretty good at it. And Its called a Cajon (Cah-Hohn). Ive always wanted one
Just one more UK tour lads. Just one 🙏
Never forget Bret won an Oscar.
'Sac de douche' 'coq sportif' hahahahhahahahahahahhahah 😂 I'm gonna use those
"Qu'est-ce que c'est ? Jacques Cousteau dans le supermarché !" xD

This song about frenches/ french langage is as funny for native english speakers as it is for french native speakers, this is wonderfull :)
Damn, i took Spanish in high school so i can only pick out like 5 words.
I think the Texas crowd probably struggled with that one
What are they talking about in the middle of the song?
Basically the girl in the song (Bret) realised that the man (Jemaine) doesn't know how to speak French because he didn't understand when she suggested they go for a swim.

TEXAS, France
1:02 interesting combo "Juh swee zawn gar-sawn terr-eebl" / "aille am eu badeuh bo-ï" :)
my french isnt very good but i what i think they are saying is hilarious
Voulez-vous coucher avec ma baguette..... Oui bien sûr
Lmao, when you can't speak any French and you're really bad at faking it XD
Sac de douche = douchebag (but it means nothing in French 😂)
Im not one for racism or cultural appropriation but still its awesome
Gordon Rankin please tell me you're joking
since when is french a race?
well i'm french and actually like the song but some french people could see this as degrading ^^'

In what world would it be considered racist or degrading?
It’s not making fun of French people, it’s making fun of English-speaking people who think they can speak French because of the words and phrases they picked up on in pop culture.
