I remember vids like these on video tapes at school

Tres bien

I remember these shite ‘educational’ videos. Spot on. The most accurate part is how little they told you and how little the presenters clearly knew. Reeked of old people thinking this was how to reach da yoof, and da yoof see through it. They’d rather read a decent book than sit through this shit.

Yeah, that's not techno.

Who remembers Was ist dein lieblingsfach? That shit was a trip.

**claps!** You get an award!

@@Taricus lol, your necromancy is forgiven

@@Taricus the funny thing is that this is a reply. 8 years ago you didn't have a thread in the same comment like this. The guy wasn't stating facts he was replying to other comments.

+TheSexyninjamonkey Literally? Nah.

Apparently you've never seen Look Around You. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fKiRidqo2qvWnYk.html

@@KindredBrujah that was absolutely masterful. well the first series anyway, second series was quite different and not nearly as sharp with the humour.

Annoyingly cringey and trying super hard to be 'cool' to get across to kids. Never works

Yep!

I don't know weather I should offer you a drink for your hatred of the french or teach you basic economics, fucking anarcho socialism/Communism (give me all of your land... by choice so we can share it equally amongst all man kind).

GottJäger um I think they meant the annoying unhelpful revising video was true but uhh ok

TRES BIEN!!!!!

How can he have been born in New York, when he is the timeless and eternal god of thunder and lightning and guardian of the realm of Earth Rayden?

Poirot and Lambert are French.

@@deathman11jackd The Belgian detective Poirot is not French

@@Picnicl The detective Poirot is not Dutch, so he must be French

@@deathman11jackd Not French, Wallonian. They even speak a different language.

Bonjour means, of course, hey ya.

D'accord!

Tres bien!

Bonjour, Christophe Lambert. Le Whisky.

They did not explain the whole hon hon hon thing, I am forever lost not knowing about this.

It still exists today :(

***** THE RIDE NEVER ENDS

+ChickenOfAwesome It's spelt „programme(s)“! ; ) But yes, that unfortunately is how it alway came across. And who’d be doing it to-day? None other than your average KZfaqr! : (

'Programmes'? Well la de da! Sounds a bit French to me.

JJ H Nowadays technology has advanced to playing on projectors. But the videos are still the same.

The website is alright but the vodeoes aren't worth watching

@@andrewreaney mate that was 10 years ago are you really gonna correct him

That's what he was saying.... god, I couldn't figure it out

@@mfbf6440 Except the correction was wrong. The accent egout is correct, not the accent grave.

@@andrewreaney Dude, if you're going to attempt to correct me after a decade, you could at least determine whether or not my spelling was correct. Which it was. Your accent grave is incorrect.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

You brave fool.

"Tres Blaine!"

Serves you right for owning an Occulus Rift. :0

+ MrBlack1968 I'm assuming you're joking :D

+MrBlack1968 yes the sex change really did a smashing job

Damn, I came to say this, but you beat me by about 8 months.

He changed sex over 100 times didn't he?

You mean Michelle as they were known at the time?

Of the "French and Saunders" fame 😉

Damn, what demon did you get on the wrong side of?

7 years later, this translates to THREE GOOD!! 😅 Ah, technology...

+Spyro Fan Unfortunately.

+Spyro Fan it is still there...........

+Spyro Fan Only last year I watched a really good interactive series for learning basic Spanish on the BBC website... So I guess not all of it is horrible.

There is a reason I only use text based BBC bitesize pages

Spyro Fan takes the piss out of it perfectly!

Sarcasm, not irony. Satire, parody perhaps, not irony.

Kayarrah If something is sarcastic it is automatically ironic. All sarcasm is irony. Just look at the definition of sarcasm - Sarcasm: use of irony to mock or convey contempt

+Ollie X A bit pointless to comment this late, but #NotAll sarcasm is irony. I don't know where you found that definition, but it's not consistent with Webster or any of the other dictionaries I checked. Irony seems to me a poor description of what's going on in this video.

It seem to be completely out of step with the other defnitions. Stephen Pinker, for instance, has talked about how irony is often misused to describe sarcasm.

TRAYBY ANNE!!!

Dak dak dak!!

Très bien! :)

Oui mais c'est trés amusant.

Cringe was already a thing, four years ago? 🤔

"Gooten Taag"

Mit gasse , le whisky, curry wurst 😅😂😅😂😅😂

Sehr gut!

Not as violent as T2 made "hasta la vista". Until that movie, there was nothing violent about those words.

Me too! Allo Allo taught me how to speak French fluently....wait till I get the chance to visit France someday.

@@MrArthoz I can just imoogen myself pissing by the doors in Paris, grating my new neighboors a good moaning.

I thought repetition was part of learning. The lessons must have been difficult, since you had to listen carefully - the teacher would say it only once.

Or more idiomatically c'est quand ton anniversaire?

And? How was it?

@@reellezahl Tray bee-en.

+reelle Zahl no. its not useful to you. its probably useful to others

Omer Elhassan I would concede, that there be perhaps some psychological/emotional worth. I would not concede anything further…

+reelle Zahl I think that's far enough, that emotional/psychological effect can be very good for people of a certain age or maturity. I agree that for most it's probably not needed but hey, to each their own lol

Omer Elhassan good point. I recently read a book on Didaktik, which started off by pointing out, that the countenance of the learner plays a defining role, not just in terms of putting one in the right state/frame of mind, but also that it belongs to the learning itself. I nevertheless found it irritating, when this became an end it itself and one ended up diluting real content and knowledge for the sakes of good vibes… kind of like what this sketch show is verarsching. I have seen a variety of approaches, enough to know, that one can pack in substantial meat in a learning environment whilst at the same time fostering positive psychological conditions. The naysayers just lack imagination and faith in the ability of children to grasp more than they typically imagine them to be able to handle. I've often come across people my age from ex-soviet territories, who's basic average knowledge typically surpasses the basic average knowledge of people in western Europe. When I ask them, they seemed to have had just as much „fun“ at school/university, with the difference, that they just do more content-wise.

This comment is MUCH more readable if I say it with Webb's accent and have Mitchell reading the daily news and chime in with "uh-huh".

*le teeth

I see the Rob Mob is here. :D

bone apple tea

Actually it's "la teeth", because in France only women have la teeth.

Plans for the Creative Commons there is no French word for teeth

lol what, it's obviously a parody

Will Wood lol

MOI AUSSI, JE SUIS D'ACCORD

Christopher Lambert isn't French either. He was born in the USA and grew up in Switzerland. He didn't move to France until later in life.

Of course he's French. Why else would his name be Cristof Lomberrrrt?

they probably thought this was an actual BBC educational program.

Missed a chance to say très bien! (treh bee-ehn!)

+Jaw Ji Wow. I'm genuinely impressed. You must, like, be really good at reading and stuff ?

+Jaw Ji It was the only reason I scrolled down to the comments xD

+Chris F Wee, je suis (that's French for 'Yes I am') =D

+Jaw Ji "wee"

+Jaw Ji How did you "see" that? Are you saying that since the video has 400K+ views and not all of them went to the comment section to mention it, it went over their heads? Perhaps they just laughed at a funny joke and went on, not feeling a need to show their assumed superiority, don't you think?

My French teacher was so cool she went in the cage on TISWAS.

Whatever Laurence let's not quibble - I'm a man!

Laurence Nealon hows that’s funny?

@@joshuasimmonds726 watch Peep Show, dude.

Luke S. i was replying to the quote with a quote, peep show is the best x

That's because he was rescued and given a proper education, but if you watch the beginning of the movie, it's pretty obvious.

I've always loved that they cast a Frenchman as the highlander in Highlander, whereas they got the Scottish Sean Connery to play an Egyptian.

that's the joke

We had some like this in R.E.
