[AdamAus85]

How could you dislike this video? Interesting and mildly entertaining, lol.

[Johnboy50011]

For an 8th grader he's not so bad.

[trez337]

I don't think he was trying to imitate a French accent.... First of all, he sounds russian and why would he have so much difficulty saying the word british? " aaa .... Huunmmmm... Bree... Aa ... British!"

[bazilmynazzle]

I can't even believe that you tried to imitate a French accent, let alone put your crappy high school project on Youtube.

[monkeynuts76]

SOUNDS LIKE A DRUNK FUCK THAT LIVES IN AN ALLEY

[aguyfromTennessee]

@monkeynuts76 Lol!

[kingvill100]

I live there

[EduardoElSexypants]

Yes... in 1534 they claimed canadian land. And yet that country didnt exist until the 1860's.

I didnt know the french crown had magicians.

Also, your accent is a failure and a disgrace to everyone who has vocal cords. Go get em removed.

[dustpelt1]

WHOA!! You have a BAD accent. You sound retarded.

[PrivateSlacker]

This accent is so bad, I went out of my way to log in just to thumb it down.

[fifeanddrumable]

umm...way to shoot a french accent in the ass, trest trest stupide!

[thelordnazgul76]

It is supposed to be the french accent ? Two words: Epic fail.

[jesuis0202]

WORST FRENCH ACCENT EVER! they don't roll their "r's" or at least the ones i've heard this accent sounds like a horrid mangled mix up between a swedeish, scotish, and mabe even russian and spanish accent X( but the doccumentary itself was nice though

[themasterquebec]

Its not a French accent hahahaha its totally bullshit

[MrAntiWesh]

I'm French but for sure when i speak in english,it's not the same accent (i hopes...)

[adamusprime1001]

Most retared French accent i've ever heard!

[j41385]

I liked this video, I think the kid did a great job, and has a great dad for helping him. If this was a book report, or an oral exam on the term and I was the teacher, I would have given this kid an A+. What kind of student cares about what the teacher teaches enough to attempt an accent in his report, I say superb!

[sniped2211]

dumb accent, but cool vid

[kyle887923]

[AlatarMorinehtar]

[Ricktomasson]

French accent sucks

[planeboy1324]

this is like a jamaican-french-british accent! =p

[13laciotat]

What a curious accent. Where does it come from? il n'est ni québecquois ni français semble-t-il.

[DonMeaker]

That is like the french accent used in key historical movies like Mel Brook's "History of the World".

[oldstuffandcollect]

it is like one of those comedy accents like on blackadder the third about the french revolution,was it fru fru ha ha

[Crag182]

[nlomas]

[woodbinedrinker]

[geoabe302]

[brokenrealm]

I made this a favorite just off the strength of the accent! I just can not work it out!

but it always cheers me up.lol.

[geoabe302]

Exactly...funny stuff...hope that was the intention!..lol..

[PlayTronicz]

Meh, the british ripped the french navy apart

[PlayTronicz]

the french needed the help of 3 other nations to expend britain from the colonies...pretty sad

[sohei33]

60000 french colonist against 3 millions brits...

[Vincenteh]

You're an idiot Play, just like sohei said, the French were heavily outnumbered.

[Talbot6832]

Not in Europe where your arse was well and firmly handed to you by us. Either way, you lost the war.

[Vincenteh]

Which war we talking here Talbot, Napoleonic or 7 years war? In both those wars the brits would avoid the french land army at all costs cause they were pussies and waited for reinforcements or for the french to leave their guard down. But ya Im not even french so stfu with "you lost" and shit like that.

[tortue2008]

You're right. In the 7 years war at equal forces at the beginning, the French won the war. And during the Napoleonic wars the English waited the French to be weakened enough to land and face it, in 1815. Before they didn't dare.. In Waterloo (where the brits and prussians luckily turned a defeat into victory),the French were outnumbered and had lost their best soldiers and officers in the previous campaigns. The English faced teenagers or old soldiers.

[freebeerfordworkers]

Just showing good sense?

Napoleon-"Never fight unless you are 90% sure of victory, 10% you can leave to chance. Wellington said the English (British) army could not defeat France the idea was ridiculous, it would never have the manpower. They had to show the rest of Europe that the French could be defeated. He called Waterloo "The nearest thing ever run" & his army was also "green". Most of his veterans had been discharged in 1814 - sometimes at a few hours notice - to save money.

[stig781]

@Vincenteh except for that part where britain beat napoleon

[Sym3333]

The British Amiral Nelson and the Frenchman Surcouf are having a chat:

Nelson says: "you french have no moral, you fight only for money whereas us, Enhlishmen, we fight for honor"

and Surcouf replies: "of course we all fight for what we lack the most"

[Talbot6832]

Yep, obviously no honour involved with defeating a combined Franco-Spanish fleet on the offensive.

[Sym3333]

Take it easy man, it is a joke.

You know, something meant to make you laugh or smile. We are in 2008 and it is been a long time without a war in Europe. Celebrate peace and the construction of a strong Europe instead of arguing about the past. It won't change anything in your life whereas working toward something important such as a long standing friendship is honorable. That being said, I wish you a happy day. Regards to our friends from the other side of the channel.

[bh5496]

@Sym3333 LOL NICE!!!! XP

[corvinuszcaesar]

The Normans (French) made England.

[flippysnotze]

The Normans were not Franks they were Norsemen.

[ManOWar2Red]

The normans lost their culture to the Franks (german frankish) who gave the french of today.

[BritLion08]

Hence the real meaning Norse-man

[Talbot6832]

All the British defeats were because they attacked forts without sufficient numbers or supplies. Hardly anything to shout about. Britain dominated France in the battles in Europe, and that is where it counted the most. Did it again in ther Napoleonic Wars too, HAHA! We're just genetically superior, sorry Frenchies.

[lina881]

Hum !!! I really admire the brits but the french won a lot of battles against them : Bouvines,Patay,the fight of the 30,Jargeau, Formigny,Castillon,Baugé,Saint Cast,Kloster Kampen,Minorca,Lutzelber... There is no more english possessions on the continent...

[Talbot6832]

Most of the battles you mention had the British at a serious disadvantage or horribly outnumbered.

[bh5496]

@Talbot6832 on the contrary sir, Fontenoy was a great French victory against the british, as well as some austrians and dutch and had no true fort involved

[brokenrealm]

Surrender monkies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[baofuv8]

This stunning British defeat heralded a string of major French victories over the next few years, at Fort Oswego, Fort William Henry, Fort Duquesne, and Carillon, where veteran Montcalm famously defeated five times his number.

[baofuv8]

The French and natives, though heavily outmanned and outgunned (the British had a heavy cannon), used superior tactics (using the trees and bushes as cover) to gun down and rout the British. Braddock was killed; Washington, despite four close calls, escaped unharmed and led the survivors in retreat.

[SilverSilouin]

There was twice more people in France than England for centuries and they sent like 50 000 people only in New France. If they would have been more clever, there would be like 600 millions French man in North America now !!! With a strange accent !

[JohnnyH1982]

2 Stars for the "Ze Battle of Neeeeagara!!!" lolol

[HisMajestyOKeefe]

"achete au sond du cannon

vendre au sond du clarion!"

(Wellington to his stockbroker at Waterloo, the only French I know)

Later French 'vendred' Louisianna Territory Jefferson violated one of his sacred beliefs and jumped on it

Washington got something like 20 bullet holes in his hat and clothes and lost 2 horses under him at Dusquene

[Joebobzilla]

Are you being serious, or is it actually supposed to be funny? Either way, neat vid.

[brokenrealm]

sounds like an pissed indian doing a french accent!

[ajaxhapsburg]

"Lt." Washington never exsisted. Major, Lt Col. maybe...

[lolomgwtfroxers]

He only became a Major in the army.

[ZHBraden13]

He was a Major.

[smoky90210]

He was commisioned to LT.Col at the beginning !By the end of the war he had achieved the rank of Colonel.

Later Colonel .Washington became Genral Washington the Commander and Chief of the Continental army!

[catholic456]

I thought the french accent was racist!

[felixzs]

so did i !!! funny hey ahah

[MEDENINE]

France lost! LOL! Again! British won more battles in this war!

[TheAngryQuebecer]

They did lost but try to win when you're 70000 against 1600000. In fact, most of the battles were won by the French in America but they lost in Europe.

[felixzs]

nope guess again!!! the big battles were won by the british

[hwkvoltigeur]

Actually the british got their asses handed to them constantly in this war, usually by much smaller french forces, but they won in the end. Battles dont matter so much as campaigns.

[felixzs]

oh right, ermmm!! so we won the war by losing all the battles !! thats novel hey ?

[hwkvoltigeur]

You dont understand, winning battles doesnt mean shit if you dont win the campaign(like Hannibal in the 2nd punic war). Dont believe me, check british casualties and victories compared to french in the french and indian war. Check out the battle of Carillon as well.

[felixzs]

i see !! so what your saying is even if the french had elephants they still woulda lost??

got ya!!

[Talbot6832]

Actually the British won a series of victories in this war, infact, they won basically all the Naval battles which really mattered when France needed to get more troops to America. The Plains of Abraham was a strike of pure genius, Wolfe played the French into a type of battle that the British dominated in. The perfect volley followed by hand to hand combat. The British soldier rejoices in his bayonet. None of this hiding in bushes fighting like wussies crap.

[BritLion08]

Too bloody right, we've beaten the french in every single war, and unlike them in the world wars we didn't surrendee even though we were a still relatively small nation despite the actual empire itself

[baofuv8]

lol small minded-nation, yea..

[ManOWar2Red]

Sorry but if england had beaten france in every single war, UK would control europe as of today.

Be realist. France was the only rampart against UK domination of europe.

[nlomas]

thats an ill-educated opinion

[ManOWar2Red]

Yeah of course. Are you a revionnist too ?

[bh5496]

@BritLion08 ya bloody twit! the french did very well in the first world war and held the line along with belgians and you british. it is only in the second world war that they flopped!

[VDMFIGHTER]

Sainte Foy, 1760 : the Chevalier de Levis won ...despite the British volleys...in the type of battle you describe...

[Talbot6832]

You mean when the British got bogged down in the snow and had to withdraw back inside Quebec? With the French to weak to even lay siege? Many sources say the French lost more men aswell including 'Essential Histories'.

[ManOWar2Red]

Lol a luck that Montcalm opened the door of the fort.

Because Montcalm previously won many battle in north america.

There is a reason if New-France existed from 1534 to 1759, this is mainly because they won many battles and held their lands.

[bh5496]

@Talbot6832 hideing behind trees ma be "wussy" as you say but it is effective as seen in the later american revolution, spanish peninsular war ect.

[ManOWar2Red]

You're right. This is why New-France existed from 1534 to 1759, mainly because they were able to manage many battle and win them.

A big thanks to indian natives who perceived the french as a natural ally (no massive colonisation so no land stealing) vs the english...

[cinque23]

Do-KAYNE BANG! This is frickin' AWESOME...the back-and-forth between Washington and Braddock was hilarious! Ah Monongahela, what a charlie foxtrot.

[cinque23]

Do-KAYNE, BANG! I don't even know who you are but this is frickin' AWESOME...I especially liked the discussion between Washington & Braddock: "we will fight as customary we shall win, as it is meant to be!" hilarious!

[Jetecrasse]

too much time on your hands dude ....FYI France kicked Washington's ass at Ft Duquesne ...booyah!!!

[KCCMAGT]

You DeDeDe

[ZHBraden13]

Only because Washingtons men were tired ,in water filled trenches,low on gun powder, they were out numberd by a force 7 times there size and they werent expected to fight a battle only deliver a message telling the french to give up the ohio valley.

[midknightsun]

Humorous history lesson! You forgot to put "Comedy" in your tags! LOL! "French Dudes"? did you say French Dudes there at the end? I agree with Beandip1. Y.M.O.S. William Pugh Roger's Own Co. of Rangers The Forces Of Montcalm & Wolfe

[montcalm88]

Vive la Nouvelle-France !

[DoofShmere]

Patrick... you fucking suck...

[KCCMAGT]

You will die alone, my gay friend

[Beandip1]

It was awesome!! Friggen Hilarious accent, man!
