  1. As an englishman we have more reasons than listed in the video including how they always try to attack and colonize England throughout history and when we became the colonizers and they finally supposed to be allied with us they immediately surrender, example WW2 they surrender leaving us to single handedly fight the Nazis for half the war until bloody america decides to get their ass in gear n help

  2. What a joke, the Frenchman trying to outdress the Italians. Anyway, just take a look at history and their tendency to always expand where they don't have to, and you'll have perfectly clear why we don't like them

  3. I'd say all Europeans are like that. Arrogant. Proud of their cultures. The French ain't unique in that

  4. Hi,

    Nice video but I'd like to make several corrections to what is said and seen here.

    The French often use their language at conferences because we think it's important to preserve cultural differences. It's a strong marker of identity. Many countries use it internationally, but it doesn't come as a shock: Russia, Turkey, Arabic-speaking countries (outside the Arabian Peninsula), and many Spanish-speaking countries too. Just take a look at international conferences for a while and you'll see. Why should we only be shocked by the French?

    Globish or even just the insertion of English terms in everyday language (professional most of the time) is often seen as arrogance in France. Why use words from another language when there are equivalents in the local language?

    Generally speaking, France is relatively active in the fight against standardization, and is keen to protect its cultural heritage. French-speaking Canadians are even more extreme (Law 101 in Quebec province).

    Concerning proud, yes, we are a too chauvinistic when we represent our country in a foreign country.

    Many foreigners see this behavior as a kind of misplaced arrogance, but for most French people, it's more a matter of preserving a strong culture. We have the same thing on a smaller scale in France: Corsica, Brittany, the Basque Country, Savoy, even Alsace. These are all territories in mainland France that are "fighting" to preserve their cultural specificities.

    You took the example of a French and an Italian. I strongly urge you to get to know more Italians to understand that they have nothing to envy us in terms of misplaced vanity… Same for Spanish.

    Otherwise, few very shocking things (that's a joke) in the images seen on the screen:

    The bread 0:31 / 0:52 / 04:14: it's industrial bread!

    3:13 : Croissant fourré / Muffin / Beignet : This is not a French breakfast!

    Butter on the croissant 03:19: It's heresy! Probably an Italian guy …
