Lightsaber Duel Breaks Out on French Street

[terror_ninja]

"No, no wait. I surrender. Just let me get back in my trac...oh whats this?" BWZZ "COME ON!!!"

 

[Loonerinoes]

The roman numerals at the end denoting the episode really are the icing on the cake for me.

Oh my gosh, this is absolutely hilarious.... XD Incidentally, this is soooooo looks like it was shot out in the sticks somewhere.

Unfortunately that was one of Frances greatest military victories.

Ah, the French jokes never get old ^_^ well, unless you're French of course, but then you've got bigger problems to worry about

And what problems are those, pray tell.... >_>

If I were French, I'd be worried about being French for sure.

Okay, seriously, what is wrong with you people? What's the big deal about being French?

Ah, who am I kidding... You people are just jealous of our beautiful, history-filled city, delicious cheeses, scrumptious bread and fine wines. ^_^

Oh, and we've got old people with lightsabers, too. =D

 

[Eleima]

Don't worry about it. People here can be pretty immature and insensitive. In their defense though Americans get an even harder time from everyone else so if anyone has a reason to be rude, they do I guess.

*giggles* Don't worry about it, I'm not that upset about it. =) And I getting pretty touchy when it comes to people poking fun at Americans too. Which, believe you me, I've been hearing a lot this past decade. Gotta love stereotypes, right? ^_^

I know lightsabers are awesome but it felt so fake until they really started to hit at the end of the video

 

[rofl jet]

This reminds me of my grandpa...

Can you translate what's going on in this video for us? I'd love to know what it is they are so incredibly pissed off about.

 

[twaddle]

the graphics and quality of the render of the lightsabers were pretty bad, but currently it's better than what i can do, and it did give me a bit of a tickle.

 

[Iwana Humpalot]

Oh, that was so funny. Thanks OP you made my day.

 

[BrunDeign]

Thanks for wasting my time. D:

You made it sound like the duel would have been more awesome but it was just them waving sticks at each other and didn't really try to hit each other until the very end.

Also that old man was no Jedi master. If you are inherently a Jedi/Sith if you're French then I could out-Sith him, and I'm only part French.

 

[Throwitawaynow]

France? And no one surrendered?

/mandatory french surrendering unfunny "joke"

They did both retreat. Same thing. = P

 

[Valagetti]

That was priceless.

 

[antipunt]

I HAD to watch it again....I just had to..

We had a beautiful, history-filled city till the Nazis destroyed it. You surrendered the second they walked into yours.

Italian cheese and wine bettar.

Just... SURRENDER, already, people dont like the French.

Paris may have been spared the bulk of WW2's destruction, but other parts of France were not nearly so lucky. From Alsace to Normandy, from the Ardennes to the Nord, entire cities were razed, fields were put to the torch. If you think for a second that France was spared because it surrendered "quickly" after a couple of weeks of fighting, then you are horribly mistaken and down right ignorant. I can mostly speak for Normandy, having lived there a couple of years after leaving the States, and came to understand exactly what came to pass around that time. Quite a few cities were reduced to a mere pile of rubble.

Spoiler

Cherbourg:

Saint-Lo:

Rouen:

This isn't to downplay what happened elsewhere, as World War II was a terrible, terrible time which laid to waste to entire countries in Europe, from Poland to Italy, from France to Russia, including great cities such as Stalingrad, Berlin, Varsovia and so many others. And I won't even try to address the staggering toll it took on its populations.
Just know your History before you make such assumptions, that's all I ask.

As for the wine cheese comment, I'm not going to argue with you, because it's all a matter of taste. You can't argue, however, that France has the widest selection of cheeses (over one thousand different types) and wines (Burgundy and Bordeaux to name just the largest wine producing regions); those are the numbers talking. Never mind that the UNESCO voted French cuisine one of the world's cultural treasures, as I said, it's all a matter of taste. My previous comment was simply in jest as there truly is no superior cuisine to another, it's just different, and in the end, purely subjective, your opinion a byproduct of your upbringing and previous experiences.

Sure thing! Here's what I managed to make out, although as @Stiffkittin said, it's a bit hard to make everything out over the sound effects and music.
Camera man: "Hey, Gerard, I'm gonna call the cops!"
Buddy: "It's already done, Serge, Marlene is calling them right now."
Gerard (angry old guy with the tractor): "Enough! I'm gonna hit you in the face!" (add expletive)
Friend who's trying to call him down: "Chill, Gerard."

Scene with the car
Gerard: "You good-for-nothing!..." (then it gets pretty unintelligible) "Take that! You little..."
Other guy: "Get up there! GET UP!"
Cameraman as Gerard gets his second stick, err.. lightsaber: "Stop it, Gerard!"
That's pretty much all I could catch, the rest is just garbled insults and expletives. ^_^


Hey wait, I just noticed they called their Star Wars episode "The Return of the Geriatric"... *giggles*

 

[Galad]

whys this so great? the net if flooded with millions of diy lightsaber battles...

I'd say the beheading at the end was the cherry on the cake
