The Americans are great. I mean, they gave so much to the modern world ! Hollywood, New
York, the White House, George Washington, Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Miley Cyrus...
Hmm no, that's not a very good example...
Anyway, after living here for five months already,
I think it's safe to say that talking about general knowledge they're not... It's not really...
Now, the best stupid questions that Americans asked me !
In France, do you have trees ? Do you have birds ? Do you have balls to play ? Is it true that everyone has
a lover ? Of course ! Here is my wife Carole, and my lover, Valerie. We get along well.
Why do you speak French ? Why not English ? When the girl asked me that, I just wanted
to ask her : Why do YOU speak English and not French. At that moment, in her head, it
would have been like...
Do you live in Paris ? Is Paris a country ? Is Paris in France? Do you live far from Paris ? OK, to clarify things, we don't all live in Paris, there's
Paris, then France, and many many cities all around ! Do you have a national anthem ? Do
you have Iphones ? Do you have Facebook ? Do you know Twitter ?
Do you shave ? Absolutely not. Do you shower ? Absolutely not. When you have songs on the radio, are they translated too ?
Of course ! Stay with us on Translated French Songs Radio after a commercial break
we'll have Je t'aime comme une chanson d'amour by Selena Gomez, then Nous ne nous remettrons
jamais ensemble by Taylor Swift and then the new song from Avicii, very popular right now,
it's called Reveille-moi ! See you ! Same range of questions : when they change the
language of the movie in theaters, do they change the actors too ?
Absolutely, we are awaiting for the remake of Titanic with Mimie Mathy and Mickael Youn in September 2014, hmm hmm.
Is Great Britain the same country as France ? No.
Do you wear swimsuit tops when you go to the beach ? No. Is is true that all French people wear berets ? No.
Is it true that all French people wear striped shirts ? ...
Are there black people and asian people in France ? Do you celebrate Independence day and Thanksgiving ?
You're French ?! SACREBLEU ! Wait a minute, how do they know the word Sacrebleu, even my grandparents don't say that anymore !
Drinking age is like, what, thirteen ? No, actually it's eight and a half.
My favorite is :what do you mean you don't have your license, how do you go to school, and shopping ?
I take the bus... You take the bus...
Here, taking the bus is ghetto ! Take the bus, people will respect you !
Tell me something in French ! ... Is it true that everybody is rude and says bad words all the time ? ...
Finally, the most asked question, and I can't figure out why...Drumrolls ! ...
Just kidding, I don't have any drums...
The question people ask the most is : is it true that you have nudist beaches in France ? Well, yes, but, hmm... Personally, I don't go, I mean, it's not my ideology and all... So there...
So these where the frequently asked questions to Exchange Students in the USA. In here, France is seen as a wonderful country with rich people, beautiful people, luxury, good food..
I mean, it's kind of like that... France...
See you ! SPECIAL EFFECTS !
