European Vacation: The Waiter

[linuslillen01]

Well, the americans has been rude to the French... so who can blame them?

[llouw11]

rofl!

I don't think I'll go to him for orders

[xXMaggieMaeXx]

xD

[xTurnipTimex]

I love this scene haha 

[tninbredretard]

I WOULD KILL HIM IF I KNEW WHAT HE WAS SAYING

[LunaJohannaLeigh]

- two cola

- two american champagne..

[lucaszappa]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Typical stupid Americans AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH

[TheToolfan123]

@lucaszappa to bad are country stood up for our independance is the best country and o ya kickd frances little ass

[AAbabababaAAAh]

you obviously dont know your history, america has never fought a war against france, but the colonies did when we were forced to side with england in the french and indian war. England won but the war was expensive and the british raised taxes on nearly everything in the colonies. Which caused the colonies to rebel and fight for their independence. So you can thank france for our independence

[dan00brocker]

All French suck the even sold out to the nazi's

[cyruspasha]

@dan00brocker not that i disagree but techincally not ALL Frenchmen sold out. The Resistance played a role in the Allied victory too.

[HerrKryo]

@dan00brocker so what. if it wasn't for the damn japs, you americans would have just watched as we take over.

[yellow1ops]

Best part of the vid

[noblealumni]

Happy Bastille Day to the waiter. He was right at 0:58. He must've seen National Lampoon's Vacation and remembered the part where Ellen was in the shower.

[ToRiHale]

there was an article used in a past english gcse paper about what top comment said about the parisian waiters. and here they are just using a stereotype of the 'parisian waiter' much like the rest of this film!

[riker2011]

waiter is an asshole

[SchweizZermattSAC]

haha this is great! You Americans, please do us all a favour and stay in America! No one wants your imperialistic ass.

[wtg2989]

My sister went to france and HATED it! They all spoke English but refused to even try to help her out when she asked directions. They were mostly pretentious snobs who had an undeserved sense of accomplishment just because of where they lived. you guys may have had a good experience, but individual results vary I suppose.

[h2opolodan11]

lol all you gotta do is speak a little of the language of the nation you travel too, they'll love you. I've been to France, Italy, Hungary... and they love me if I make an effort. Seriously, contrary to a popular belief, they DO love Americans.

[reddeadking56]

Go fuck yourself

[gopconservative78]

snooty cheese eating surrender monkeys

[UploadedKid]

"Your wife has wonderful big tits" mmm EXCELLENT

[TheProudEuropean1]

As a waiter, here in Europe, I do agree that americans are rude, they tend to treat waiters as a piece of sh**. Last one I had would click his fingers to call the waiters, as if we were dogs. They never listen the waiter recommendation. The only good thing about americans is the tips.

[amillionmiles75]

This is the best part of the entire movie.

[That70sSmoke]

Of course not everybody is going to be the same. But it is a stereotype, (as Harry said to Lloyd in "Dumb and Dumber") the French are assholes. When discussing the French or visiting France, it's on the tip of everybody's tongue. And it's not just Americans, it's a joke in England about the French. The Vacation movies took stereotypes and exaggerated them for comedic situations... just like the white trash brother-in-law , the merry, overly-nice Brits, the goofy American tourist & rude French.

[ScubaSteveM45]

You know I would probably also act rude as fuck if some square assed people from overseas came to my workplace and acted like they knew the language and ishhhh.

[jsaulterhemmer]

When I was in France skiing at an international resort I asked for "l'eau" (water) instead of "l'eau en bouteille" (bottled water). The waiter gave me TAP water knowing it would make me sick - ruined the rest of the vacation. Definitely not one of my favorite places in the world!

[DocJJustice]

@jsaulterhemmer You probably found a nice waiter not willing to make you pay for an overpriced bottle of mineral water, since you didn't ask for one (it's on the menu). Tap water in France doesn't make people sick - surprisingly, there are a few hygiene standards in such a remote, awkward, uncivilized country. You could have guessed it was tap water as it came in a jug. Waiters in France don't purposely poison patrons.

Wait, in your case, maybe he did.

[Gyro911]

Everybody speaks english in Paris. I never spoke one word of french there to get by. I even got pissed off at a french currency exchange clerk when she didnt understand one of the words i said to her in english. Then she eventually understood and apologized

[eruditesickle0216]

Very accurate scene. Within 3 hours of landing in Paris my wife and I had already witnessed several arguments, a bloody fistfight in the subway, and several people almost get trampled in typical everyday vehicular traffic (one heavy truck driver was so close that he couldn't have known whether the person was still standing or if she was under the vehicle). Not all French are idiots, but 92% isn't too good either.

[movitmovit]

the french were very nice to me while i was over there. my friend said that they were rude to him so there is no "standard" french behavior.

[wtg2989]

@movitmovit Maybe they just acted nice like this guy lol.

[MacEliot]

Great movie!

[urloldude]

LMAO

[VerticalhorizonXL]

Wait, are these subtitles real? O_o

[andthatsforthewin]

"Go fuck yourself."

"Oh ok, just a little bit."

rofl

[MH0190]

Great I'm goin there this summer....

[Altair8801]

Deux champaignes de américain!

[Altair8801]

Yes! Where would you find a waiter like that in the United States?!

[diddymuck]

@Altair8801 manhatten. changes your order, puts his fingers in you water enroute to your table, makes you wait 40 mins, and talks to you like you're dog dukie.

[usmail77]

French people are rude with tourists because they know they will keep going...

[Chapas45]

fuck the french.

[Digflatline59]

Not all French are rude & arrogant & smell of garlic, & can't be assed to parlez Anglais, or help you out by giving you directions to a certain rue. Ok just 99%. Just get your credit card out they soon change! Tres cher en Paris. Great film tho! Chevy's the best!

[vdven]

when he says 'your wife has wonderful big tits', how is that written in French?

[hiflyer53qwc]

how dumb can you be???

[edgexxi]

I have a good friend from France. She tells me as long as you attempt the language, the French will be very accepting. Sort of how Americans resent when foreigners don't try to speak English, but expect you to speak their language. Plus the French accent sounds so cool when spoken. How much I want to visit France.

[iamthecore]

You can visit. I'm going in May. I can't wait!

[LauraArendt]

I agree. I grew up among French people : all calculating psychopaths, not one trustworthy one, at least according to Nordic values. Southerners definitely have very different values.

[trialsofjobe]

god that is unintentionally funny. I love dismissive blanket statements.

According to Nordic values wtf?! Thor's?

[MurphGiovanni]

@trialsofjobe...lol i thought that was a funny comment too...nordic values...i didn't know that vikings had such a noble system of values...

[theboombody]

Man, he was worse than I remember.

[rifleman4life]

Im an american and was in France and the people there were just lovely. Just b/c you encounter 1-2 rude french people doesn't mean the entire nation is like this. You will find rude people in any major city like New York or Chicago.

[wtg2989]

ha ha they probably were saying stuff like this to you with big smiles on their faces.

[pgy002]

I don't think they are rude all over France, I've heard that mainly in Paris they are VERY rude.

[picasso18115]

@rifleman4life I lived in europe and the french people acted just like this if not worse. They are pompous and rude as hell

[DRN0524]

@rifleman4life Yeah, its mostly the Parisians that are rude. Especially to Americans.

[s332745744]

@rifleman4life That's what the Griswalds thought! :O jk I totally agree with you! :D

[yellow1ops]

@rifleman4life but i still dont like france

lol

[pgy002]

Could someone print out what the waiter says in French? I'm studying French myself, but I would NOT have been able to understand him. Vous ne parle pas francaise, vous ne comprendez pas un mot, is how I'd say the first but it sounds like he says MORE than that. The only thing I realy understood was Va te faire foutre! I WOULD understand if someone said that to me.

[sawyer42]

Ah, visiblement votre prof (esseur) de français devait être complètement nul. Vous ne comprenez pas une ??? de notre langue.

Quel accent remarquable. Chicago? Peut-être Cleveland.

Deux champagnes américains.

Je vais vous apporter de l'eau de vaisselle. Vous (ne) sentirez pas la différence.

Je parie que votre femme a une paire de lolos. Et votre fille a un petit cul.

Va te faire foutre.

[pgy002]

Thanks SO MUCH!!!

I think it's funny that even though he's cursing them and being rude he's STILL using the polite formal form of the language, LOL

[sawyer42]

no problem. it's definitely funny how the waiter politely insults them :).

i didn't get one word though. it's probably some slang word from france

you can replace "une ???" by "un mot" for that sentence to make sense.

[pgy002]

I would say "sacre mot" or or my cousin who speaks French says you can say "foutu mot".

[MrTommychong]

@pgy002 it all depends what kind of accent you speak with I know the french language very well but whenever i hear someone from quebec or france speaking it it all sounds like gibberish to me because they speak it so fast

[Poenk]

I was watching this on TV while planning my budget for the month, a few days ago, and I speak French, wasn't really paying attention and when he said "I'll bring you some dishwater, you won't know the difference." I laughed out loud because sounds so funny hearing that on television in America.

[Cyricque]

mhm, i'm drinking american champagne right now.

[foofwolf22]

When I travel overseas I don't tell people I'm from the states. I don't want to alienate myself.

[gymrachel]

hahaha bet they are really like that too!!

[pangavon]

lol, "go fuck yourself". One of the funniest scenes in the movie.

[diablecita]

the french suck

[foofwolf22]

Fuck you, the French are great. Assholes are everywhere. Don't just single them out.

[comgeek24]

"Obviously you don't speak French, you don't understand a damn word."

"I'll bring you some dishwater. You won't know the difference." XD

I also love how he says Ellen has nice tits and Audrey has a nice little ass and gets away with it, lol. My favorite scene from this movie.

[japnikki]

Paris is ok...people in southwest France bear the Dorgonde Valley are alot nicer. I was in France two weeks ago visited Les Milandes Josephine Baker former home

[BentivoglioIII]

Il bello è che i francesi sono così : un popolo di merda

[emmalone12]

il sont tres cons les americains lol

[moleculesnmorphemes]

Hilarious flick. Funny thing is that Chevy speaks French in real life.

To all non-Americans... nobody makes fun of us (Americans) as well as we do.

We need 2 stop mixing up Parisians & French in general. Many other Europeans assume Parisians are rude/snobbish. In France, Parisians consider themselves as living in the best part of France. There's Paris & all the other stuff in their minds.

But, people in Paris r really damn nice. You have 2 b friendly & polite, just like anywhere else.

[DocJJustice]

Hatred messages on this board are quite fun.

People should go check sites like tripadvisor to see what the people who have actually been to Paris have to say about it.

Most are happily surprised, while watching in diners and shops some of their compatriots being rude and impolite and loud, and getting bad treatment as a result.

Wherever you go, try being polite, learn 3 or 4 common words in the language and don't treat people like they are amusement park empolyees.

[esimio1974]

right!!

[moleculesnmorphemes]

Amen.

[Alessio2468]

loool so funny!

[pmsan29]

that waiter looks like balki from perfect strangers.

[electron501]

Fucking French Bastards!!!!1

[ricky669]

that movie is real good,but those american clichés are really frustrating for europeans......another reason why amercans are so hated by everyone on the planet...

[rebekahellise]

Wa ha ha ha ha love this film!

[jackassbitter]

Haha classic!

[HeyOny]

le Champagne n'est pas Américain. Par ce que le Champagne est fait à Campagne (Appellation contrôlé)

[haywood16]

French men are gay

[braneden]

I like the end. "and thats about it"

[CanuckaLocomia]

French sounds better than Spanish. Speak French to a Mexican and see it for yourself! lol

[lauquidort85]

im mexican,et je suis sure que tu comprend rien espece de merd,je nique ta mere par le cu,you understand a little?

[HawGrkThorne]

living in france from cleveland makes this video that much funnier

[califgirl101]

Come on you guys, lighten up! Its just a comedy that's all! Deep breath guys! Chill!

[creamydinkly]

jeez there so arrogant if you go over there, pusing past you in shops, jeez :L

[ThePipersNicks]

1:02 :P

[vigo894]

I have a French nephew. Clark, you're giving us a bad name.

[engelsciria]

"Where would you find a waiter like that in the United States?"

LMAO.

Probably Manhattan.

[skymunro]

haha, yeah..oh prob manhattan yeah, oh okay, oh...SHUT THE FUCK UP SND KISS MY ASS BITCH...maybe the manhattan you visited and over paid for but not the manhattan i grew up in...little fucking soogy assed fairy..

[engelsciria]

Hmmm... joke.

I was making a reference to a Weird Al song.

I've never been to Manhattan.

I've never lived in the States.

I guess I deserve it for being involved with the Military, huh?

[DeleteThisMF]

Well no one likes the French, but that guy is AWESOME haha

[dalebsorry]

Man, what is wrong with the people posting on here? It's from a comedy movie. It's supposed to be funny.

[califgirl101]

dalebsorry, I agree as well! Come on folks it is just a comedy! And please no offense to the folks of the french. I very much liked this scene! A shout out to the rest of the folks on this forum...GET A GRIP PEOPLE! Geez!

[diablodiablodiablo]

Hahaha its funny cuz its true!!! fuck i hated french when i went to Paris haha.

[LomanMugen]

parisians are not french, REALLY!!!

[FuqqingLife]

bad quality

[sopackid]

french fags.

[JohnnyDepp4eva2305]

omg i can remember when i first watched this i made myself sick because i was laughing so hard!

lol

[Beatles4ever63]

ahahah.. i have this DVD.. too funny ahahah

[starsstanley99]

oh, i don't know. her tits aren't that big.

[MondoBeno]

It was like this when I went to Paris back in 1990. We had rude waiters, but my folks were blunt with them, so it was okay (don't smile, whatever you do).

When a ticket clerk at the Louvre wouldn't sell us advance tickets, she gave a hard look and said "just give them to me." She had to do it again to get her change.

We found another way to piss off the French. My Dad had a trucker cap with CAT DEISEL POWER on it. It was like having the word TOURIST written all over you.

[LomanMugen]

I'm french and i can tell you Paris is not France lol

I mean French people outside Paris hate having to deal with Paris waiters, bar tenders, even entering a shop can be tough lol.

They are over stressed and are rarely in a good mood...

If they are tired of tourrists they should live in another city i think...

[MondoBeno]

You're right. We did go to a small, obscure Moroccan restaurant in Paris where the waiters were polite and the food was better too! I guess the tourist places are worse.

But Strasbourg... now that was great! It was not like Paris at all. In fact, Strasbourg was much more fun than Paris. Less pushy, less style... but I was there with a school group and staying with a local family. We got along great.

[LomanMugen]

Yeah people know better how to enjoy life outside Paris in general lol

it's a shame because Paris is cool for shopping and culture events...

[comgeek24]

Really? So what nationality are people in Paris?

[LomanMugen]

@comgeek24

If "Fucked up" was a nationality I could answer that question.

[LomanMugen]

@comgeek24

if "overstessed and full of hate" was a nationality I could answer that question.

[delamotteh]

France n'est pas seulement Paris , bande de gros nuls !

[Boogieboy138]

hahaha clarks your everyday nerdy white dad

[therealsosa0081]

that was fucked up.

[WCD73]

The waiter kind of looks like Chris Noth who plays Det.Mike Logan on Law and Order:CI

[godzillavkk]

Its intesting that the waiter is smiling, yet he hates the family

[fl1992]

Melissa's a very prety name!

[fl1992]

I meant that The French in Paris are very rude. I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

[warfandude92]

i know its old but it was still an awsome movie =D man it was awsome when i watched this movie it was on the last day of summer school and the teacher was practacly oblivious to what was happening in it rofl awsome movie oh------> go fuck youself, mm just a little XD

[667nextdoorToDevil]

such a pedophile-and your daughter has a wonderful little ass. asshole

[LomanMugen]

she looks 18 to me

[Jormund88]

Man... it's nice to discover what the waiter said like 10 years after watching the movie for the first time... (Not to mention that it came out 3 years before I was born, lol.)

Thank you shitty hungarian voiceovers.

[rundreve]

good choice!

[philandgary]

i am amazing at speaking french!! anyone got any questions for me?

[pgy002]

Yes can you print out in French what the waiter says for, "Obviously you don't speak French, you don't understand a damn word." I would say "Vous ne parlez pas Francais, Vous ne comprendz pas un foutu mot." BUT It sounds like he says a LOT more than just that!

[VHSgoodies]

Yeah, the subtitles are a little off for that specific line. If you translate word for word what he says, you get this: "Obviously, your French teacher must have been completely terrible. You don't understand a damn word of our language."

[AlanKalterIsKing]

Thanks, BUT how is it writen it French?

[LomanMugen]

he says: "ah visiblement votre prof de Français devait être complètement nul, vous ne comprenez pas une broque de notre langue"

wich VHSgoodies translated well

[swordslay000]

why the french guy hates him i dont know

[fl1992]

The French hate Americans, period!

[Neville6000]

And how do you know that?

[fl1992]

I've been told that The French in Paris are very rude to Americans.

[colonia1]

yes its true i think maybe cause they speak enh while there which is very rude:)

[MrRobertSama]

ot just you Americans buddy, they dont like us Brits much either, lol. Never mind most French people cant stand the Parisians either, lol.

[therealsosa0081]

yeah me too.

[egdums1]

Fuck the French !

[LomanMugen]

your girlfriend do it better <3

[egdums1]

she wouldn't fuck a frenchman if you paid her a million dolars. she only likes my big american cock.

[EuroLivi]

that probably because she is fat, sloppy and dumber then a bag of rocks.. European men have a plethora of gorgeous, sophisticated women to choose from.. so you can keep your two ton heffer.

bon chance! :-)

[Neville6000]

The French probably only hate people who are loud and boorish-if that's most Americans, then you have to change the way you act when you go abroad. This waiter was probably reacting to that and figured that the Grizwolds were like every other American he's served before-hence the rude words and demeanor.

[daniela8262]

LOLLLL "les infants"

[tristanunsworth]

Wow. Dana Hill was so fucked, she couldn't even go on living. lol LOVE this movie!!!! Jason Lively's acne looks like it's bubbling. Hate to see this movie in High Definition.

[djfreshtrax]

they are sat outside, it looks fucking freezing lmao!!!

[BigTMan1]

I always wondered what those sneaky waiters were saying about me...

[MatthewCanSeeYou]

haha. there's nothing funnier than messing around with ignorant americans;)

[mikokat]

Haha, it's also funny to deport South Africans.

[MatthewCanSeeYou]

lol, I guess I deserved that;)

[mikokat]

Indeed you did. I expected you to come back with another insult to America, good to see someone with a sense of humor!

[Col1500]

hey im american.

[mikokat]

Indeed you did. I expected you to come back with another insult to America, good to see someone with a sense of humor!

[Col1500]

I'm american and I'm not ignorant. I do speak some french. and italian.

[mange1977]

love this family :)

[Rocketqueen07]

Hamburger, and Fries!

[WCD73]

SAME TO YOU RUDE WAITER!!

[WCD73]

THIS WAS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST SCENES!!
