My favorite scene from this overlooked (even by me) movie. 0:25 - ''Remarkable accent. Chicago?'' Double dose of comedy because Chicago and the rest of Illinois were French possessions in the 17th and 18th centuries.

I agree with the waiter. The Audrey from vegas vacation does have a nice ass❣😍

I wonder if the waiter did bring them dishwater.

This is a 1980's stereotype. French millennial waiters are much nicer and many of them are bilingual.

what’s the name of this restaurant?

On the Comedy Central and TBS edits, it was "Go screw yourself."

Damm very rude french waiter

Two American champanes, hahaha.

No wonder people like this waiter make fun of tourists. Chevy's French is horrendously bad and a lot of Americans are just as awful

Welcome to Europe!

This waiter chose the perfect family to make fools out of without them knowing it.

Numba1SouthParkFan I think the reason the waiter is a "little bitch" is because it's a movie. It's clearly meant to be exaggerated just for comedy. The fact that you would assume from this clip that all people in France would actually treat an American tourist this way just further supports the idea that you are in fact ignorant. Just because a movie made a joke about one French waiter doesn't mean that the obviously comedic skit can speak for the millions of people in the country. It blows my mind that after seeing this clip you've arrived at the conclusion that you would never visit France.

were they jerks? :(

Can't people just bring along them a picture of what they and the picture having the word in French.

I'm going to have to agree with you on that one. I made an effort and pulled out my dictionary only to be responded every time with a: "I speak English"

that waiter is a perv lol

Trollface at 1:28

This film is a spoof on the "stupid" American who travels abroad and acts intellectually superior in every way and "compares" rather than "experience" culture. We are laughing at our selves and Chevy Chase delivered this message in great comedic style.

If you speak even basic French the people there are a lot nicer, French are often flattered when Anglos speak their language.

This attitude is sadly everywhere in Quebec too.

The colonies would have rebeled even if taxes hadnt been doubled to pay for the war.

I guess that they teach you what you want to hear in US heh...

Switzerland is beautiful. Very expensive, but a great vacation if you can afford it. Anyways, just sayin, check out the east. I was pleasantly surprised and will surely go again many times

Well on that same trip she visited Switzerland and Italy as well.

next time go to east europe. much friendlier people there. can't understand why millions of americans visit paris every year, which aside from the tourist attractions and a few cute hidden chapels is a big toilet, yet only a select few ever visit moscow, st. petersburg, sofia, budapest, ljubljana, etc.

oh yes, the resitance... that sure changed the war and cost germany their victory. yeah, you just keep on telling oyourself that :P

and we are always game to invade them once more.... if you promise not to save them again, that is

Pas mal proche, en tout cas.

no the translation is WRONG!! he does not say that Clark's wife has big breasts.

actually I know French and this is NOT a word by word translation.. what he is actually saying is even meaner. and it is "tu ne sentira pas la difference" not "tu ne senterai pas la difference". Wrong verb tense!!! and he is actually saying that the daughter has a "small ass". The waiter is actually telling him that Clark obviously does not speak a word of French and that he is completely pitiful at "our language".

except for the fact that without america the french would be speaking german

I would actually like to know what the French waiter said in French writing so that I can understand what words he used. I know Spanish (latin-based language) and French is part of a Latin language so just reading what he said in French (not what was said in the subtitle because there's no literal translation between french and english) would be awesome to learn! By the way, this scene is hilarious!

good for you! ...still think that calling colas "American Champagnes" is a compliment :3

i have a French nephew, so now I know what they're saying to me if I go there.

Well, the americans has been rude to the French... so who can blame them?

rofl! I don't think I'll go to him for orders

I love this scene haha

- two cola - two american champagne..

you obviously dont know your history, america has never fought a war against france, but the colonies did when we were forced to side with england in the french and indian war. England won but the war was expensive and the british raised taxes on nearly everything in the colonies. Which caused the colonies to rebel and fight for their independence. So you can thank france for our independence

@lucaszappa to bad are country stood up for our independance is the best country and o ya kickd frances little ass

Happy Bastille Day to the waiter. He was right at 0:58. He must've seen National Lampoon's Vacation and remembered the part where Ellen was in the shower.

there was an article used in a past english gcse paper about what top comment said about the parisian waiters. and here they are just using a stereotype of the 'parisian waiter' much like the rest of this film!

My sister went to france and HATED it! They all spoke English but refused to even try to help her out when she asked directions. They were mostly pretentious snobs who had an undeserved sense of accomplishment just because of where they lived. you guys may have had a good experience, but individual results vary I suppose.

lol all you gotta do is speak a little of the language of the nation you travel too, they'll love you. I've been to France, Italy, Hungary... and they love me if I make an effort. Seriously, contrary to a popular belief, they DO love Americans.

@comgeek24 if "overstessed and full of hate" was a nationality I could answer that question.

@comgeek24 If "Fucked up" was a nationality I could answer that question.

As a waiter, here in Europe, I do agree that americans are rude, they tend to treat waiters as a piece of sh**. Last one I had would click his fingers to call the waiters, as if we were dogs. They never listen the waiter recommendation. The only good thing about americans is the tips.

You know I would probably also act rude as fuck if some square assed people from overseas came to my workplace and acted like they knew the language and ishhhh.

@movitmovit Maybe they just acted nice like this guy lol.

the french were very nice to me while i was over there. my friend said that they were rude to him so there is no "standard" french behavior.
