Je ne peux pas apprécier cette humour ! C’est simplement pas quelque chose avec laquelle je peux identifie; pas rigolote; ridicule au plus.
Dr Michael,
L'humour est très personnel, et ce qui fait rire les uns, ne fera pas pas rire les autres...
Ma mère disait toujours -
il faut de tout pour faire un monde!
Most of my family in France come from the east, very near Alsace - this was and still is very traditional French humour and much enjoyed in the region itself, especially as the Alsace accent is quite special ! Similar is done with other regional accents and quirks.
Fortunately the French in general are far less precious about such matters - their assessment of it is much more dependent on whether hurt or fun is intended, rather than offence for the sake of offence.
Vive la France et les Français !
