I really don't watch many French movies. Like probably most everyone on the planet, I've seen Amelie, and a few others with Audrey Tautou. Also, The Triplets of Belleville, and a random recent watch - PopulaireI love this song - I will warn that it has some things with Josephine Baker in this video that are a little "extra" (i.e. racist), even

Ylvis! They're my most recent obsession, I love them so much. <3

Based on the French movies I've seen, I think they're definitely accurate about some French movies, although I can't say I've seen any with notable goat scenes that I can recall... or people crying milk.

I love the Triplets of Belleville, and Amelie, of course! I really like a lot of French movies, though I wouldn't say I'm an expert.

WHERE ARE ALL THESE ELUSIVE GOAT SCENES??!!!??? D-:

I've mainly only watched French comedies (of course, some of Audrey's movies were historical pieces), so I wasn't sure if they were off-base with the parody or not.

Even though I'm tired of "The Fox," I am appreciative, (since I probably wouldn't have heard of them otherwise) b/c they are currently filling my Flight of the Conchords hole in my heart. Not sure if I've said this to you before - if so, sorry for the repeat!

I have no idea! Next time I watch a French movie, I know what I'll be looking for...

"The Fox" sort of weirdly grew on me- I wasn't into it when I first heard it, but now I just think "Ylvis!" and get all happy whenever I hear it. I can certainly understand being tired of it at this point though! They have much better songs, but I am definitely glad for its existence too, since I doubt I would have discovered them otherwise! And no, you haven't said that to me before. :)

I am hoping the French-speakers on my FL sees this and sheds light on this very important goat question, ha.

It must've been hamsterwoman, since I know she's talked about "The Fox" in her journal (where I believe I recced her "The Cabin").

In 16 hours...it's gonna be hot!

I don't watch French movies (I think Amelie is the only one I've seen), but that trailer/parody is hilarious -- thank you for sharing!

See, I told you Ylvis was good for things that were not "The Fox." You might be also interested in checking out their "Big in Kirgisistan/Kyrgyzstan" video series they also did for their show in Norway. (I haven't finished watching it, but they culminate their trip by doing a music video featuring a yurt.)

OK, that was surprisingly entertaining, especially with the bilingual bonus XD Also, hamster! XD
