Being French myself, I can tell you no one is that joyful speaking French.😂😂😂
And it's even worst for us Parisians :p
Meh ...
And no one in that sketch is speaking a word of French either. ("Je voudrais téléphoner pour le coup de fil" wtf)
@@mrpepin, it's beaucoup de filles.
@@intimi28 this makes even less sense.
Omg their clothes are literally the same as the ones in my French textbook
Which French book?
@@genecahshimronepike449 get rekt
I got detention in grade 3 for trying to reenact this skit with my French teacher. My parents still laugh about the phone call home.
Wow, they didn’t teach us foreign languages until grade six in my school district. You must have gone to a good school.
@@XFS540 maybe you just went to a really bad one
🤣🤣🤣
@@XFS540 we didn’t start till 8th
They said they took French in grade 3, not 3rd grade, so this is likely a Canadian. Some French in grade 3 would not be surprising.
90s version of the Duolingo voice.
🤣🤣🤣
This entire show that Baldwin hosted is one of the best ever.
Yes
He’s hosted like 8 shows, but this one was sooo good. Gap girls, Mr. Deverough, etc. Classic SNL.
E Higgins I still think he was the Best host they’ve ever had!
The Mimic Sketch was pretty good from what I remember too.
That is true; virtually every sketch was excellent; a special night.
This video is definitely for my french teacher, I suffered a lot in the french course, my mouth was like a tube. ha ha ha
Where are you fro
yeah, reminds me of my summer French class at MSU
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I totally get it!🤣🤣🤣
You should have learned French in Quebec you would have to speak that way 😁
Oh my god. I can’t believe they just uploaded this on their channel
someone who took french and works in SNL social media did
This.
Imagine him teaching joey Joey: jamel blah blah blah
Locken beast lipupu
Jamel anjang
Genius! Just mimic the accent and tone of the voice and you pass the class
you either are in every single video existing or you have a good taste in videos
Best sketch about french language ever! I couldn't stop laughing, all these guys are genius 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😆🤣😆
I choked on my peach when Chris Farley started his french!!🤣🤣
I choked on my water when Adam went: dabadaba dooooo ya dabadaba yoooo doooo
I'm always impressed by Alec Baldwin's range.
His aim, not so much. 😬
Damn
This comment didn’t age well, lol
The birth of Billy Madison's character at 2:50
You mean the birth of Adam Sandler's one-trick pony.
My French teacher showed us this in French 1 and I died laughing
ditto. good times.
Same lol. 94
Same lmao
same lool! jus yesterday
My French teacher called himself Monsieur Printer. This is exactly how he taught French. He was jailed for kiddie fiddling at another school.
I swear my first french teacher was also a pervert
LMAO
Phoebe Scarborough MINE TOO HDSKJDSJJV
Voo hoo derr oooh la la laaa 😂😂😂
I thought you can only fiddle stringed instruments
"Je voudwais téléphoner pouw coudeufi !"
Screaming lol. Also “Quel jour est-il aujourd’hui?” Took me forever to understand that one lol
Pire que quand je parle anglais 😂😂
I had so many French teachers who talked like that and it was SO ANNOYING
I'm putting Adam Sandler's French line in my French final presentation tomorrow because my teacher has played the skit in class like 4 times, wish me luck
I'm surprised Adam's "French" didn't include a "Yabba-Dabba-Dooo..."
Chris Farley: "...bloo de bloo!"
I go to a French school with actual French teachers, and they are so different from English ones who try to speak French 😂
It's so hilarious...i can understand Alec Baldwin pretty well, i''m french. I mean his accent is good : sound like a drunk parisian!!
His accent is terrible, I'm French too. But that's what makes the skit funny. Plus most of what he says is garbage French, the worst offender is using 'salle de bains' for 'aux toilettes'! Ha ha ha
@@lisamortini8567 American with 5 years of French education here (and NOT fluent). They teach us salle de bains. I am very happy to say I understood about 80% of what was said. No classes for 25 years.
@@renfairegoddess Then sadly they teach you utter crap. No French person would use 'salle de bains' (bathroom) to say they want to go pee. Our toilets are always in a separate room (les toilettes or WC) so it would make zero sense to us.
@@lisamortini8567 in American English, literally ask 'Where's your bathroom?' Perhaps that's why we are taught salles de bain? 🤷🏼♀️ In any event, learning other languages and cultures is fun.
@@renfairegoddess Absolutely.... But when it's taught well enough that people won't look at you like you've grown a second head if you ever visit France and need to pee! 😆
One of my fave SNL skits of all time because it is so right on. That is why I will learn any other language, but French.
I havent seen this since it first aired. That ending has always stuck in my mind
Wow this is literally my French class
Evy Phan me too!... like literally literally! 😜
Definitely looked my english lessons...! 😂
😂😂😂😂
I have to know: when you say “literally” there, are you making a joke?
Mine, too! It must be torture for them!
This turned from a French lesson to a singing lesson😂
This got me laughing so hard I got a headache, especially at the end😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 RIP Phil Hartman we miss you.. This was awesome Lol
Which one was Phil Hartman?
The teacher is alec baldwin
@@Zimisce85 The dude who punches the teacher.
RIP Chris Farley
I love you Chris.
I start learning French language and I try to search some comedy and this pop up 😅 omg! Makes my day.🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for finally posting this video! I've been wanting to show this to my class for decades! Now I finally can!
I’m french and we had the same type of teacher in English class hahaha why so hyped though nobody spoke English like she did
😂😂 i m AméRiCan !!! Mon prof d anglais avec une pierre qu il tapait contre son bureau !!!!
I feel like this skit was written like a murder mystery- "Okay, how do we get Sandler's 'wacky voice' into a skit....."
I've always loved this skit! Sandler's pronunciation at 2:50 is no where near French and more like an auctioneer's bark!
I think he's doing more louisiana french there
That's my favorite part of the skit. I love how he just makes a bunch of noises that sound sort of like how the teacher inflects.
@@hambone1138 HaHaHa! It's so damn funny! I haven't watched this clip in a while…… I'm gonna get in a few laughs now!
No one in this video is speaking French. Not even the “French” people in “Paris”.
@@samirh2758 HA, HA, HA! Your comment just gave me a reason to watch this another dozen times!
They showed this in my high school French class when it came out.
My neighbor showed me this and it's the most accurate thing I've ever seen
Adam Sandler: yabba ya hoo, yabba dabba doo
I remember watching this live back then so hilarious
Being french, I'm so imprest by sir Baldwin's speaking. He's great.
^_^ oh man this is one of my favorite skits. Every time I'm in French class, all I can think of is this skit.
- Quel here est-il? - El es hweet Hwerees 😂
I had a French teacher who did this lol
Every French teacher
Im not french but my first impression for french language is like, what the hell people do speak but after learning french few words it feels one of the beautiful langauge 👍
As a french some of phrases are uncorrect but this is so funny 😂
ah-ah-ah! INcorrect! ☝
Ah so this is where Christophe Waltz got his Inglorious Basterds character from.
I had a French Teacher who was literally crazy AF! She would always tell "ALLE!"( "GO!") & point her finger towards the door whenever someone even whispered in her class. I would always be trying not to laugh whenever she did that!😅
Alec did a great job. LOVE his accent!!!!! Genial!
J'aurai adoré avoir un professeur de français comme Alec Baldwin...
Wait, a skit that had an actual ending? :-O
The last bit was funny as heck
C'était magnifique😂😂❤️Je suis Arménienne et j'apprends le français,c'est vraiment super👍🏼👍🏼❤️🇦🇲❤️🇫🇷
Faut pas se servir de cet épisode pour apprendre à parler français
Pourquoi est-ce que tu utilises le drapeau de l’Arménie ? 😂
And they didn't even drop their cigarettes.
😂😂😂 can't stop laughing! I really understand learning french 2021 and trying to work on my tone🤣
Géniale!Une autre!Une autre!Je voudrais une autre vidéo comme celle-la!
Shabada ooooouu badadada oooouuu dhabadabada ahhh la la!
Wow this is Gold So much talent ♥️
If he did a French course, No, if he was my private coach, I would be fluent in a week!!
Old but GOLD people Tararararouuuuuu blaablibouuuu 😂
Omg one of my favorite!
Loved the ending
Totally what French in high school in the 90’s was like
ahaha)) final scene))) love Phil Hartman!)
For years now, my parents and I always quote this. Especially if we are talking about France
This is what happened in my French classes.
Deja Vu. Exactly like my 2nd year high school French teacher. Always wanted to see him go to France and get his ass kicked.
my HS spanish teach was just as kind, even though I was a terrible student☠️
Great job!
Damn this is a great sketch, 1st time Ive ever seen it
My 4th year French teacher, Mr. Screes, showed us this. He thought it was hilarious. He always hated what he called "schoolteacher French." Miss Beck, our 3rd year teacher, definitely spoke "schoolteacher French."
Chris Farley 😍❤ He always looked great in leather jackets.
That is *LEGIT* my French class.
Wow these are so good.
I can only picture the funny stuff about high school French, & I took Spanish in college, another girl had taken French before too, it was "Oui" - NO, "si" - "oh yeah. excusa me, Si" - we both barely passed 🤣😅
love this throwback!
You can tell Farley definitely said something funny to Sandler when Chris exited and Sandler came in.
Farley did a Joey XD
Just sing along go French songs with corresponding French lyrics 👌 it'll exercise your fluidity in enunciations, works with a lot of languages
I took french 4 years and hes not bad. Lil out of it sounds like he just woke up all loopy but not bad
0:51 Melanie Hutsell!
Je voudrais allez aux Champs Elysées pour acheter de la farine du blé! A random sentence that would fit perfectly :)
Alec is as French as Hilaria is Spanish lol
it reminds joey speaking french in friends
When SNL was funny!
High School Memories!!!
We watched this in French class it was great
Oh yeah that's a good one 👌
Hahaha I like the final scene
FANTASTIQUE!!!! ❤️🇫🇷
it is really nice :) way to teach
I have been saying, “Dans la salle de bain!” Just like this, in my head, for the past 29 years.
Merci monsieur
Me when i enter french class: Me: bonjour Realizes its Spanish Class Me: Adios TnT
I love the laughing
As a french canadian, Baldwin's french is not that bad! If I'm not mistaken, he once had a french canadian girlfriend...
Oh, the tears are tripping me! So horribly true to life!
lol i watched this in french class and everyone was quoting it
That little clap kills me
Tres bon!
