Foux Du Fafa - English Subtitles

[megrune94]

Does any know what we can relate "Foux du fafa" to or is it not by near any french?

[sballest]

[iSoccerRock]

BAGUETTE <3 :D

[TheBhoyJoe]

This is about all one can do with high school French.

[skyrocket67]

[xXMiniMonsterXx]

@dweelieghanne

[leviathan94xxx]

SLAVES SHALL SERVE

[darrensam1]

I don't give a fuck if it's foux or fous, just listen to the fucking song x

[besayewich]

I could understand about 80 percent of this song the first time i heard it.

i was wondering why they were saying things you would find in a grocery store and talkng about a night club.

[purpleblah2]

@besayewich I think the joke is that they're using French you learn in middle school.

[BillRoyMcBill]

:51 to :53, They are "flipping the bird" to each other, Euro-Style. lol

[amenasor]

haha i love the way bret says beef! xD

[joebstarsurfer]

I dont speak French and i understand this Merde le America.

[kjamesbryce]

voila mon passporte

[Stelawink97]

Thanks for making the subtitles!!!

[we7887]

i cracked up when our french teacher showed this to us and made us translate it

[GreedySupperFast]

this song is a complete summary of 2-3 years of high school French

[scotto111c]

i acually used this song as a french presentation by accident and i failed

[Isa91800]

Actually "foux" doesn't exist in French, it's "fouS", which means indeed "crazy"

[pipingdryad]

Never took French, but i could understand ~80% from my knowledge of Spanish. Didn't catch the 'foreign currency' phrase, lol

[graaar]

Watch Jemaine's expression from 1:06 through the whole scene, I nearly fell down laughing!

[vjm007]

Genius! Miss them already! Plus, it's cool that the show was shot in mostly in Brooklyn and manhattan. Splish Splash!

[jennyfrenchy]

Flight of the Conchords has a lot of prejudices ! i'm french and i can say that "fous du fafa" means nothing. i've never heard of it before this video... and i can't understand what the singer say when he speak in french, i have to watch the english subtitles to understand the words. ^^ but it's a great parody.... lol all the time of the video !

[graaar]

I don't think their humor comes from prejudice, I think they're using nonsense words on purpose to make fun of people (and themselves) for pretending to speak foreign languages to impress others. If you go to a first semester French course I bet a lot of the conversations sound like this :)

[JudoonInNutshells]

DENISE!

[fercr2]

LOL...this reminds me of the one semester of spanish spanish love song

[pasley]

1:32 where you pause and laugh your ass off!!!

[pasley]

u try telling that to someone in english and see what happens.

[wendall101]

lol! our french teacher showed us this and the french foreign exchange student was cracking up laughing but nobody else was. now i understand why

[KempoCrane]

french impersinators!!!

[buffer3000]

putain bordel mec, c'est genial!

quand il dit jacques Cousteau il lui passe un poisson!

MDR aka ROFL

[strangeandunusual94]

hello my little foreign currency exchange

[freezazoid]

r u kidding? Of course it's funny if you don't know french because it's obvious that they're using very simple words and phrases. The grocery store scene alone makes that pretty clear... (holds up the fish, "jacques cousteau!" haha) and then she's like parle vous francais at the end and he's like, "no". It's pretty clear what's going on but the traslated version is fun. I speak no french except what any average person might know and I thought it was hilarious without the subtitles.

[JieyjiknretRulez]

I don't know french, but the first time I saw this and he pulled out his passport somhow, I cracked up!! Then, when he says he can't speak french.... *holds back laughter*

[cockfoster]

It makes me laugh that people say I speak some french but didnt't understand some of this, because you clearly dont speak french. Being able to say 'bonjour' does not mean you can speak french.

The whole point behind this song is that theyre trying to impress by speaking french yet the phrases are all extremely simple basic ones straight from one of those 'learn french quick' type travel books.

[Sclasspsycho]

I've only had one year of french in school so far, and I understood pretty much everything. I want to speak french fluently one day. It is true that you need to learn a lot more than "bonjour" to claim that you speak french. When I tell someone I speak a little french I say, "Je parle un peu francais."

[kerins94]

i find this song even funnier now that i know what there saying

[berryberrygirl123]

I agree i didnt know what was so funny until i understood what they were saying.

[JamesFryer66]

'helllo my little foreign currency exchange office' hahaha!

[RandomCast]

im in 7th grade french so i dont know much got most of the song but i thought that line was "hello my little dog"

[Gaarabelle]

thanks for putting this up.

[ThaEther]

hahaha this is great

[ratladeh]

yay! it is almost funnier knowing what they are saying. i speak some french, but not enough to understand all of this. Great job!

[thoemke2010]

Hahaha thats awesome.

[SJMoviesbajio]

I''m going to get a date singing this song to one of my many girls. Foux de fa fa!

[DEMONIMACHOMASTER]

ur mum...

[Faithliesindeath]

Foux means crazy but the rest is just jibberish lol

[nigahiga878]

no sorry its spelled fou not foux,

and de means of

[Faithliesindeath]

Trust me, I learned of this video from my french teacher and she says it's translated crazy and then the rest means nothing. I'd belive her before I belived anyone on here. lol

[nigahiga878]

yeah i speak french... look up the words in a french dictionary, maybe you'd believe that

[Faithliesindeath]

Ok well I asked my teacher and she said that the x is put at the end to show that it's plural and means more than one. So I'm pretty sure my teacher knows what she's talking about

[scribblevillage]

Your French teacher is right; 'foux' is the plural form of the word 'fou', which means crazy. An example would be "les gens sont foux" means "people are crazy."

In any case, the title is not supposed to mean anything; it's just a nonsensical French-sounding phrase, which is perfect for this song.

[Faithliesindeath]

yeah that's what i was trying to say in the beginning. It means crazy and the rest is gibberish lol. :}

I love this video it's the best ever lol

[PJAFF13]

@scribblevillage well no, the plural form of "fou" is "fous", and I know what I'm saying since I am French!

But you're right, foux du fafa doesn't mean anything.

[scribblevillage]

@PJAFF13 I stand corrected...thanks for the help!

[KatelynRoseable]

@scribblevillage "Les gens sont foux" means the boys are crazy. Not people

[goodluckmrchuck]

@KatelynRoseable Nope, 'les gens' definitely means people. For boys, you're either looking for 'les hommes' (which technically means men), 'les garçons', or, if your looking for a more colloquial word, 'les mecs' :)

[Kryyslee]

@KatelynRoseable No it means "People are crazy"

[Kryyslee]

@scribblevillage your teacher is wrong "fous" is the plural form for "fou" in French. That's actually a bit scary if your teacher approved this mistake...

[Kryyslee]

@scribblevillage Nope this is incorrect, just open a dictionary if you don't believe me :)

[sueshishi]

@Faithliesindeath Actually the plural form of "fou" (crazy) is "fous", but there are words that finish with "x", it just shows that french is complicated :p

[hockeynut2008123]

hahahahahahahhahhahhahhahahhah­ahhah

[AeroWing]

This definitely gets the joke across better to people who have no understanding of French whatsoever. Good work.

[ComicQueenKT3]

hahaha it's hilarous how most of the words they are using are all french 1 words. actually found this thanks to my french teacher!

[waynewright]

sweet video man
