11:18 "Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing left to add, but once there is nothing left to take away." -Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

There's only one way to stop an Englishman and a Frenchman from fighting and that's to bring Germany into the argument

I fucking lost it when FC pulled out a gun and shot in the tribunal when bowl called a "pain au chocolat" a "chocolatine"

"Son, always remember: *Never let a woman with big teeth near your carrot."* words to live by right there

While the silly antics of this group never fail to amuse, this one was something special; mostly because of how much the editing as improved. The seizures and gunshots caught me so off guard.

I cannot wait for an ending, when Bowl and Fuck Cares acknowledge their differences, Bowl learns French and they start both speaking on the mix of two languages to gang up against other’s bullshit :)

"Sounding like a microwave and a cow having a conversation" is the best phrase I've heard used to describe something

When the Great Ace Attorney truth theme kicked in, I knew headassery was about to ensue.

Also, to further your argument about English royalty using French, ask Bowl: "why are the name of the farm beasts in English: Ox, pig, sheep, hen, etc; while the name of the MEAT is in French? Beef, Pork, Mutton, Poultry?" Because peasants spoke English and generally saw only the cattle, while nobility spoke French and only saw what was on their table: the products.

As a french who can speak both languages, this is exactly what I want

FC was more convincing, but Bowl murdered him with the pomme de terre paragraph. The winner: us for getting to witness this

Bowl is outing himself as an American traitor in the first two minutes. Lots of people in England unironically say "X-thousand and Y" or even "X thousand, Z-hundred and Y", and any proper Englishman would maintain that. The only exceptions are for time - we'll say "twenty twelve" because it's faster, not because it's uncomfortable, and people who use the 24-hour clock might say "Nineteenhundred" to mean 1900. And I think the former might be an American import. It's hard when your language is the bastard child of Latin, Germanic and a little Celtic, then your own bastardised child eclipses you so thoroughly your own bastardised language changes to be like their bastardised bastard language.

Honestly as Italian: both French and English speakers shouldn't even talk about phonetic consistency. I mean, why do you make them so hard to speak? Come one guys, look at Spanish, it's so simple, they write a word and they pronounce it the same way. Spanish speakers are intelligent, be like Spanish speakers- WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY FIFTEEN HUNDRED WHAT THE HELL IS THAT

I am firm in the belief that a lot less people would be complaining in the US about the complexity of French and other languages if they were consistently taught at a young age. Where I grew up, they didn’t even offer foreign language classes as an OPTION until adolescence. It’s baffling to me. I struggle to think of a more practical and attractive skill to put on a resume. That’s not even bringing up how many immigrant families there are who lose their languages from home upon coming here. It’s a serious problem. It’s why my mother (she’s a teacher at an elementary school) ACTIVELY encourages her kids, most of whom are Hispanic, to keep writing and speaking Spanish.

As an American, you guys make me proud. French-British rivalry is what gave us our independence.

Bowl is one of the most complex and puzzling humans in history. Only a few months ago, in the first French Baguette Intelligence video, he was taking the debate seriously, making and countering arguments, and talked about as much as FC. From then on, he'd quickly spiral into someone who only chipped in every two minutes, and would focus less on making compelling arguments in favour of an irrational but funny statement. Most people's personalities take at least a year or two to change so drastically. What could have triggered such a quick descent? Did the trauma of repeatedly forgetting his password crack him? Did he develop a crippling addiction to snorting powdered sugar? Did he suffer side effects from his brain transplant? Or is he aware of this KZfaq channel's existence and has altered his Discord persona to the liking and amusement of the viewers in a (successful) scheme to become the most beloved FBI debater? If so he is a genius and the only true winner of any debate.

Big Brain Bowl is pure nightmare fuel. Also, as a French, can confirm : we're all mimes with baguettes and MOUSTACHES !

I remember talking to a guy on discord who was salty people didn’t talk about the spanish conquests as frequently as the british colonisation, this reminded me of that argument, in the ways of, Nu-uh, *we’re* the biggest assholes around.

I also love how this went from "your language sucks" to "you're short and that's why your girlfriend left you" jesus lol

Y'all should legit *write dialogue for TV* or something. The comebacks are so savage and creative 🤣

Seeing Edgeworth and Wright have seizures and little happy dances brings me so much joy. Why won't my eyes stop watering. I'd like to add, I love how most of the time that members of these debates have emotional responses, they rein them in and regain a steady logical train of thought. FC nice content.

You somehow managed to increase the production value of an objection.lol video while keeping the same absolutely hilarious material. Mad props.

It's really funny to me that out of all the insults and slurs in the English language, there's nothing that stings worse than being called an American.

As a Spanish speaker living in the USA's backyard i learned English at a very young age by myself, i knew the language as a second nature, but i didn't knew 100% of its rules, as i began a relearning process i noticed the inconsistencies, the things that didn't made any sense, such as the irregulars words that to me were stupid, in the end i found a greater love for my mother tongue, as i now see it as something solid, simple and to the point, even though it lacks in the rythmic nature of portuguese, it has a nice flow considering it is a very rigid language. Unlike English were everyone with enough influence can change the language without any kind of opposition

12:55 funny thing is, i can say as a native spanish speaker, he actually said "Si" wrong. Its meant to be "Sí", not "Si". This difference is made because "Sí" is YES, while "Si" is IF.

Ah yes, the sequel I needed. Also, I love the effort with all the custom expressions in this video. Esta experiencia fue como ninguna otra.

okay well basically both french and english are messed up in the way they are due to their orthography not having changed and updated to fit the language, which explains the backward seeming words in english like lead and read, and the stupid spellings of others; this also explains why there are so many silent letters in french, though french always had a relatively standard spelling and therefore is still just a couple of consistent rules that don’t appear as logical as they actually are. The numbering system in french is by all means inferior to the english, but not entirely due to the math involved. french pulled an english and took some influence from other languages in certain parts; the odd base twenty number thing is from celtic languages, specifically the previous gaulish language i think. this also explains english’s weird use of do- it’s similar to only the celtic languages of britain from before and is one of the only celtic influences on english. overall, if you want to criticize them, it’s really easy for both due to their outdated orthographies and odd influences (another big influence i haven’t mentioned is germanic languages on french but yeah), but they’re both beautiful languages except french is beautifuler.

You're getting too good at this. Ace attorney was *never* meant to be this expressive

The sequel we all needed.

English do be treating other languages like vocabulary expansion packs though.

16:29 The quick draw was funny enough, but seeing Bowl's position immediately afterwards was the icing on the cake.

Bowl es español honorario, ese discurso dios mio: "Si... Señor." Sublime.

We're back to the war!

5:37 "French is a language of ROYALS!" Didn't your royals get fucking annihilated or...

As a mostly spanish talker, I fell honored to see the language I use being praised by a French. The little I know about French, Italian and Portuguese makes me ask myself how they have those accents and our language don't, but then I remember that Latinoamerica has at least 5 different accents and word elections that are different enought to deserve a different dub in some movies, but gramatically, it is true that Spanish at least makes you pronounce what you write, with a really few exceptions. Even the ´ is easy to use and useful.

"French people are mimes with silly mustaches running around with baguettes." "Yes. So what?" Damn, FC won this one.

"French people are mimes with silly mustaches running around with baguettes" I lost my crap there, good conclusion. Then they became friends again and decided to play Cubic Capitalism

Ultimately, English is a discordant language spawned by the clash of two cultures that then spread across the world. Thousands of isolated groups formed their own dialects and variations, which were always changing. There were, relative to other languages, very few successful attempts at standardization, and even today English lacks a universally accepted set of rules. In many cases, standardization is left up to school systems themselves, which will once again vary vastly from one legislative body to another. For the majority of English's time as a language, there was ZERO spelling standardization, and people generally spelled things however the fuck they wanted, and our modern spelling standardization comes from a bunch of scholars all arguing and comprising over things. This resulted in our, "rules," being more like a guide to understanding spelling rather than a structure for it. Unfortunately, many things in the English language are shitty holdovers like this one. It's doubtful it can ever be fixed. Edit: Which is not to say I don't think it is an elegant and useful language! I just recognize its flaws. I love English and all of its inconsistencies. I write in English for a living and wouldn't have it any other way.

France: Has some of the most important mathematicians in history like Poisson, Laplace et cetera Also France: What the fuck is an eighty bro? we have four twenties

2:55 "Below The Belt: The Best Place To Hit Physically And Mentally: A Book By Bowl"

Debate aside, the editing on this is stellar! Nicely done! 😎

As a native brazilian who speaks Portuguese, used to teach English in Brazil and now lives in the UK: I'm with FC. I never really properly studied grammar. I just knew things were right or wrong instinctively cuz I'm mostly self-taught... But when I started teaching it, I noticed how fucking inconsistent English can be. Anyway, sometimes I wish I could participate in this kind of discussion, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to keep up. Anyway, thx for reminding me to perfect my Spanish.

I guess I'm a weird English-speaker, but I find myself saying numbers as "one thousand five hundred" rather than "fifteen hundred" during math. Makes it easier to visualize for me. Except when dealing with years/centuries, in which case I say "fifteen hundred" as is more common.

11:59 As an English speaker who barely scraped by spanish class I can say: Spanish is the perfect language, the only reason I failed it is because the school I was learning it in sucked and thew me in on my own and said "good luck, we'll be grading your self learning very harshly" So now I fear it. But from what I salvaged from my panic, it's pretty efficient.

Yessir another typical French and English debate video 😫 Omfg the chaotic energy in this video has me dying 💀💀💀

damn there really is an editing stepup

"British people are just Americans with funny accents" As a non-American, can confirm

As a french speaker my favorite hobbies are complaining about how complicated french is and cramming the most french word in English class while still technicly be speaking English to annoy my teacher she cant fail me if its technicly English I also like learning words from Australia or Scotland to mess with her

I already know English and Spanish, but your videos are making me interested in learning French lol

These videos keep getting better. Ace Attorney has got to be the best formula for showing arguments.

I love all the videos on this channel, but these Bowl-centered videos are always the funniest.

'French people are mimes with silly mustaches running around with baguettes' 'Yes'

I'm french and a teacher, and I can say that both french and english are as bad for very different reasons, 70 80 90 are a nightmare for a lot of children age 6 to 10 to learn especially the ones that struggle with reading in the first place (and we should adopt the septante, huitante and nonante found in other countries), same thing with silent letters and don't let me start on the verbs and their forms. English is "easy" to speak (though some sounds like "th" don't exist in other languages) but written english is utter nonsense, with the same letter or combination of letter making totally different sounds. In general both are highly inefficient especially french which can take up to 9 years for a native to use correctly and I'm of the opinion that we would be better off with a language like Esperanto which is way easier to learn use and actually make logical sense.

The whole "independence from uk is the most celebrated holiday" broke me. And the real nuclear basedness of France is its use of nuclear power ngl.

English sucks ass sometimes. I do not speak French so I cannot speak about it, but it does sound elegant when spoken properly. The only French I know is from ratatouille so that's probably not enough but eh, I've done worse. Another fabulous video, the newer editing is amazing lmao. The little dance had me rolling. Bowl mixing MMM of microwave and Moo of cows to form French is the funniest thing ever, I'm sorry FC. I have changed sides. Bowl is my new master (which is kinda ironic with me being Indian and all but whatever) Also, I'd like to know your thoughts on the best version of le festin there is. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9F5kpCW1ZuumIk.html

"Behold! The Mighty Earth Apple!" I need chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth immediately, for my heart has stopped from an overdose of ROFLMAO

honestly bowl is totally right about french numbers man... i get it sounds right to french people but so does "noventa y nueve" to spanish speakers and it is so much better and optimal. on the other hand, one thousand is just "mil" in spanish. spanish is perfect 🥰🥰🥰

''Canada acts as the USA's lapdog'' Never before have I been offended by something I 100% agree with.

"Another typical French vs English debate : The return of the most complex geopolitical relationship in human History" Vol.2

2:47 as a native hebrew speaker i can unfortunately confirm that the french arent the only one who say "earth apples"

6:57 Funnily enough, French people actually tend to roll their eyes more often than others when talking

Bowl's arguing is so all over the fucking place... it's headachingly beautiful.

A language doesn't need some kind of governing body, the natural progression and flow of a language over time is part of its beauty. Languages naturally change with time, refusing to accept this will only lead to other, more accommodating languages surpassing them in popularity. French absolutely has beauty in its elegance and complexity, but unfortunately its strict rules that have been enforced throughout history have led to less diversity in accents, dialects and other languages spoken within France. English on the other hand may be an inconsistent mess, but it's a more forgiving mess, wearing its history on its sleeve and allowing variation to a much greater degree. There is beauty in this as well.

This channel is probably the best thing i've come across in 2021, the editing is stellar and i love the dynamic you guys have, of not getting actually butthurt over these discussions. Personally a problem i have with learning languages is the memorization, it never really sticks with me which makes the whole process really frustrating and disheartening.

English is the language of PEASANTS, French is the language of ROYALS! Aye, and we all saw what you did to Royals, mate. (Sidenote, I'm honestly surprised you didn't rub in that Lingua Franca was a french word)

"Native english speakers are the worst english speakers." I agree with the frenchman.

I'm sorry FC but within the first 5 mintues you had already lost the battle, Bowl's roasts were legendary

As someone who is currently learning Spanish, I fucking lost it when Bowl just said "Si."

The editing in this one is exceptional! Absolutely loved the desk smashing animation from Fuck Cares

As a Spanish speaker, I actually prefer French. I find its complexity beautiful and elegant. In any case, I just hate when people that know absolutely nothing about the language, even if they are native speakers, try to change it for ignorant reasons, like it's happening in Spanish with "Todas y todos" and the weird "e" that serves the same purpose as the neutral "o". It makes my blood boil. So I really admire the French for forbidding the gender-neutral language in schools. I wish they would do the same in Spain, but what I see is teachers transmitting their own ignorance to their students. I'm losing so much faith in Spanish-speakers that I might as well become a full-time French-speaker. Thank you for your videos. PD: Thank you all for commenting and sharing your points of views in such a polite and open-minded way. It has been very enlightening.

Let’s agree that, despite our conflicts, we’re both great. We have civilisation as old as Europe itself, amazing and dominant history, and great culture.

I’m from Brazil (yes, we’re everywhere), and i believe it is known that Portuguese is basically a mix of Spanish and French, and taking classes on French (which god was it hard), and learning Spanish during my time in Brazil while now knowing English by living in the US, Portuguese does feel like a “prettier sounding” Spanish, so it has the simplicity and to the point Spanish with the pretty and phonetic sounding words from French, plus I feel like there’s a lot of creativity to create and make words in Portuguese, which i haven’t yet seen in English, but Ive seen in Spanish and French :) love your videos and I’m a big fan of different cultures and languages!

2 things, I am Bri'ish, but I do think that English should've had an authoritative source similar to Spanish and French, I try my best to annunciate my Ts and explain the colloquial words I use whenever I talk to foreign friends, but that can't be said for a lot of other Brits (also also Americans and Australians). It would probably be a lot harder to implement now seeing how much more varied the language has become all over the world, but it would be nice for all people to be able to speak the same language and not have to go through hoops about certain words. Secondly, 10:32, absolutely this. I have this one friend who, whenever I complain about a game or an*me, says that I should "Stop watching/playing it". Maybe other people value their time more but I like to have an informed opinion on media, it gives me a greater appreciation for the good that the particular medium can bring, which is sadly lost on a lot of people.

Bowl’s arguments are always so valid and true!

13:59 I just want to add that as a Spanish writer,Cervantes was so good that he basically had a diccionary's worth of new words that basically he and only him knew,only letting us mortals see them through "El Quijote" So yeah bowl,at least one of those DID revolutionize their languages

Honestly I'm glad I learned Spanish while I was still like 7 years old. Growing up with two languages is so much easier than learning an entirely new one in your late 20's as I am now.

“I just roasted your relationship in 2 languages froggy”

English is such a weird mix of all sorts of language structures, there is no inherent "English" structure of its own. Any rule in English grammar or spelling is full of contradictions.

I fucking love the dance Bowl does when he’s bullying you, nicely done.

Oh fuck yeah another upload

Almost 20 min of debate... To ask "wanna play minecraft?" just killed me instantly XD

Excellent channel. I think a lot of us envy being on this server with such fine lads.

3:48 Bowl: "You're 5'7, I'm not. You lose." FC: *dies* My favourite bit of the video, got me chackling and wheezing in surprise! I am LOVING the additional animations for the characters!

4:32 Even if those were relevant, there's also waterfall.

The godwin's point has been reached when bowl used the word "chocolatine". But joke apart, thank you for it. It was very funny and interesting.

Language is a tool meant to convey ideas. Add too much subtlety and ambiguity, and you get errors that render the language useless. There's a reason we transitioned away from analog computers to digital.

As a spanish speaker, I´ve talked with my brother (who also knows english) about how sometimes we feel "limited" when using english compared to spanish, since there are way *more* ways to express something that falls into de details on how you say it... however... it also annoys me this trend that it´s happening globaly that people simply want to *think less* which really affects everything for the worst... Great video as always

I love how it went from the consistency of each language to who's country has the biggest army.

Sooo going to make a comment here, if I'm not wrong, in French it is "pomme-de-terre" because apples were quite tasteless by the time potatoes were introduce to Europe (it is not even close to the sweet apples we have today), so even when it's not the same consistency, a potato without being prepared is quite tasteless, as it was originally for the apple.

bowl is legendary. he is literally not caring about the debate at all On royalty - they were french-cultured vikings. It slowly transitioned back to germanic and celtic monarchies (Stuarts, Hanoverians, Tudors)

I FUCKING LOVE THE EDITING ITS SO GOOD AND FITS IT SO WELL

I can't help but to love how the discussion simply ends for no apparent reason xD

Ei, FBI, você está conseguindo entender essa frase? Eu sei que é meio bobo mas eu estou curioso lol Great video, can't get enough of these discussions. Both sides make good points whenever you aren't dunking on some random person, and it reminds me that arguments and discussions do not have a clear 'winner' by any means, and they're not confrontational by default. Edit: okay, that ending was very funny lmao

Potatoes are called "Erdapfel" - which literally means "Earth apples" by Austrians and some Swiss too, it is not really unique to French.

I am absolutely loving these new sprites and animations. Y'all seem like such a fun group to just shoot the shit with sometimes.

It's cute to see a pair of dwarves debating about why their inferior language is better than the other... At least FC aknowledged the better one *laughs in spanish at 2m* Now for real, I also think french is overcomplicated grammarly speaking, as both a spanish and catalan speaker I see too how french could transition to use first catalan grammar (we also use diferent vowels èéòó) and then to spanish to add simplicity. And I agree with FC about the past tenses in english make no sense at all. In the end, the more languages you know, the better tools you have at your disposal to communicate with foreign people.

COMME MÊME???

Even though I follow this channel for its well-structured and clever debates I really like this more fuckery version of F.B.I.

"I remind you that independence from britain is the most celebrated holiday in the world" holy SHIT lad, ripped him apart there

Curiously both English and French share in common the same torture of having more than five type of vowels in their phonetics.
