Eddie Izzard - Où est la plume de ma tante?

[SeriosaSoren]

What? Plume är inte penna??

[NothinButBadLuck]

EXORCIST

[evilrobottolhurst]

He has to explain "putain" - "non, je ne vends pas le sexe pour l'argent"...

The Swedish subtitles really make this!

[MarquisCaulaincourt]

Je ne suis qu'une vielle cassette et je n'avais pas de pantalons.... J'adore.

[bobduvar]

Délicieusement déjanté comme peuvent l'être les Anglais ! Comme les Français peuvent adorer ce petit côté barré de ce Peuple "bien sous toutes les coutures" et qui pète un câble pour notre plus grand bonheur !!

J'ADOOOORE !!!!

[ycl260779]

I find the way he says "Oú est la plume de ma tante?" incredibly funny, even though I can't understand french.

[lesainteamy]

The song sings something along these lines: " I am only a poor tape~ I did not eat the pants~" =D

[Lotto15719]

How the fuck does this tape know what the I'm talking about?

[er4g0n91]

I love how he waits at 1:20 for audience to get the joke...

[Anden14]

Hilarious! xD

But where was this show recorded? Because several people from the audience sounds like they're speaking French. My French is awful.. so if there were no subtitles I would be completely lost.

[damnatium]

later on: 'if you dont speak french by the way all that was fucking funny.'

[charityroseingram]

when he says "its an old song" what song is he talkin about

[quizzicalsphinx]

@charityroseingram I think it may be Eddie being silly with the audience, but I remember at the end of our language cassettes in school (yes, I'm old enough that we had CASSETTES), at the end of the lesson, they would sing a little song about "this is the end of the cassette, please turn me over to start again" or something.

[wahinesurfergirl]

@quizzicalsphinx Yes, yes! I so remember that! That brought me back to language classes as well - AND MUZZY, for Spanish classes.

[Tonin41992]

I'm french and I didn't know this guy, this is so funny especially "bigibongybigybongy"

"vous êtes un putain".. my god, this guy is a genius...

[bouzignac]

Les anglais adore parler de la 'Plume de ma Tante' .Je ne sais pas quel chansonnette ancienne les a marqué ainsi...

[wahinesurfergirl]

This and the next 2 comments are the French lines, with English translations.

______________________________­___

***Oú est la plume de ma tante?

Where is my aunt's quill?

***La plume de ma tante est pret de la chaise de ma tante.

My aunt's quill is beside my aunt's chair.

***Oui, la plume de ma tante est pret de la chaise de ma tante.

Yes, my aunt's quill is beside my aunt's chair.

[randall2020]

@guerisseuse I kindly will make a correction. The proper French word is "près", meaning "near", not "prêt" meaning "ready".

[guerisseuse]

***Oú est la plume de mon oncle?

Where is my uncles's quill?

***La plume de mon oncle est bingie bongie boogie bongie.

My uncle's quill is bingie bingie boogie bongie.

***Non! Pas du tout! Je ne me connais pas "bingie bongie boogie bongie". Qu'est-ce que vous dites? Vous êtes un putain!

No! Not at all! I don't know "bingie bongie boogie bongie". What are you saying? You are a whore!

[diamondboy9]

@guerisseuse i'm so going to say la plume de mon uncle est bingie bongie boogie bongie XD

[guerisseuse]

***Je ne suis pas un putain! Je n'avais pas le sexe pour l'argent. Qu'est-ce que vous dites, vous cassette?

I am not a whore! I don't have sex for money. What are you saying, you cassette?

***Oh! Oh, pardon. Je suis desolé. Vous avez raison.

Oh! Oh, pardon me. I'm terribly sorry. You're right.

*** *cassette starts singing* Je suis seulement un pauvre cassette, et je, je n'avais pas les pantalons...

I am only a poor cassette, and I, I have no pants...

[elizabethsusan]

Thank you so much for these translations. French is so beautiful and complicated.

[JTBunkey]

the gibberish bit is;

Tape: " Non! Pas de tout! La plume de mon oncle n'est pas binghy, bonghy, boogie, bonghy. Qu'est-ce que vous dites? Vous etes une putain

Translation:

"No! Not at all! The pen of my uncle is not binghy, bonghy, boogie, bonghy. What are you saying? You are a whore"

Eddie

[tenpinkflamingoes]

Plume is feather... stylo is pen....

[tenpinkflamingoes]

Oh like quill. okay nvm.

[disease05]

translate plz anyone?

[kjroy23]

his grammar isn't perfect but essentially this is what he said -

tape: where is my aunt's pen?

E : my aunt's pen is next to my aunt's chair

tape : where is my uncle's pen?

E : gibberish

tape : no! not at all! what are you saying? you are a whore!

E : i am not! i don't have sex for money! what are you saying, tape

tape : oh sorry, you're right,

[ogicu8abruok0]

and then...

(sung) I'm just a poor little tape. I don't have pants.

[inconspicuous2]

Qu'est-ce que vous dites vous cassette?! lmao:D
