A frenchy reacts to MEMES about France and French history! Let's see what kind of memes we can find to talk about the French culture and France. Original video: • France Memes #history #memes #france
This was pure fun! One reason I loves these and channels like oversimplified, fat electrician, and sam onella is it's fun to laugh at all our stereotypes, it's healthy and hysterical without being hateful, sadly, at the risk of sounding like the soon to be fossil I am alot of hatefulness passes for humor , I loved this, made me enjoy the lunchtime break even more😊. Thank you as always for the video
When I was in College I took a European Military History Course. My professor mentioned how France is seen as weak in the general public because of World War 2 and mentioned briefly how France won more battles, etc. I made the joke that "well yeah but does that really count since a good number of those victories were against themselves? You know because of all the revolutions?" Again it was a joke, haha. Please don't hate me. lol By the way I was wondering if you had seen the TV series Maximillian and Marie de Bourgogne yet?
No thank you for the reminder!!!! I'll watch it, the casting is amazing. And yeah, half of our battles were between ourselves so I don't know where to put them... Thank you :)
Informative. I didn't expect to learn anything new because we were taught a lot about France here due to Lafayette. Such a badass, Lafayette was. I have been enjoying some of your videos lately and I wanted to tell you that your videos are thoroughly satisfying. Greetings from Virginia, U.S., France's Sister Republic
@@ToonStory-fh4gn unsurprising really. If things like Charlie Hebdo or stabbings happen in random parks it's likely to push people to extremes. I thought over there people were more concerned with the retirement age & farming rights to be honest.
we americans learn in class how powerful france was and still is my friend! we may joke but not as much as brits lol. we feel bad bc you guys helped us during the revolution and you guys got nothing out of it (arguably idk) but yeah gotta love france!
@@ToonStory-fh4gn well im glad we are allies my friend. i always thought it was cool that our revolution inspired your people to do the same then haiti was inspired by your revolution!
Fun! Still, wish people tired harder not to make everything about WWII and revolutions. What about DeGaulle being practically indestructible? Vikings failing to take Paris? Or just Napoleon III?
Oh man. I dont envy your political situation right now. Never a dull moment in France. Could Le Pen really take power in parliament you think? Also could not believe there wasnt a single frog meme. Kids these days are not creative enough 😂
That's outrageous: not ONE single frog in all of this! And yeah, that's a very strong possibility. The party is heavily supported by half of the whole media industry, and we see the ugly face of these neo-fascists all day long. That's really sickening, this would be a disaster for our democracy as well as being an incredible disgrace to the country.
@@ToonStory-fh4gnLuckily France is more than one single party and people like you represent the country very honorably! Also was thinking of the invading Russia in winter thing. One part of the reason Hitler invaded was because he underestimated them after the Soviet performance in the Winter War. So if you stretch it a little you could say, the Soviets underestimating a winter war, med Hitler underestimating a winter war. The memes could just go on with the winter thing 😂
That's a legend or a widespread rumor that Baguettes were designed to be easy to carry for the soldiers in their bags or uniforms... But tI am not sure whether it is true or not
More history memes?
Have you checked out the history TH-camr jack rackham? His video on Louis xiv is absolutely hilarious, while still respecting the historical context.
yes please!!! do some more french memes and do some american ones too! much love from kentucky my friend🇺🇸
Yes! Thank you!

It's nice to see a French person with a sense of humor. That is not the stereotype.
We need humor too, especially in these crazy times!

Thank you very much, someday I'll do a proper video on Lafayette. Greetings from Lyon, France
As a Brit what is the current political situtation in France? Can't be worse than what is going on over here.
We have elections this Sunday, and the extreme right is on the brink of seizing power

Oh you helped us a lot during WW1 and WW2. Thank you!

Yes I am planning to cover a lot of these topics in future videos. So much to explore!
This is hilarious 😆
Oh yes!
I got about a third of these and that includes the ones you explained. Some others where sort of clear but the humor escapes me - Brit humor?
Some of them are really niche and geek-ish (if that's a word) I must admit
All hail King EMU!
The myth, the legend!
Well how the hell am i supposed to know catalonia even exists. Guess what? Now i know
fun to see what makes you laugh :)
Glad you enjoyed it 😃
Fat electrician has done a video on the vespa bazooka you might like though it is a bit short.
Oh sounds very cool! Thank you
Snooty and expensive? Sure great people? Sure.

Did you say that french soldiers carried baguettes in their pockets?
That's a legend or a widespread rumor that Baguettes were designed to be easy to carry for the soldiers in their bags or uniforms... But tI am not sure whether it is true or not
@@ToonStory-fh4gn I sure hope it's true 🙏
I like this format but the video you found is lacking. Wish I had a good recommendation for you
Thank you, I'll keep the idea anyway because it's fun!
France did so much over hundreds of years.
Oh yes, we have a busy History
Napoleon
Congrats on the elections! 🙂
@@SummerDream3r thank you ❤️❤️❤️
