His accent is terrible, I'm French too. But that's what makes the skit funny. Plus most of what he says is garbage French, the worst offender is using 'salle de bains' for 'aux toilettes'! Ha ha ha
@@lisamortini8567 American with 5 years of French education here (and NOT fluent). They teach us salle de bains. I am very happy to say I understood about 80% of what was said. No classes for 25 years.
@@renfairegoddess Then sadly they teach you utter crap. No French person would use 'salle de bains' (bathroom) to say they want to go pee. Our toilets are always in a separate room (les toilettes or WC) so it would make zero sense to us.
@@lisamortini8567 in American English, literally ask 'Where's your bathroom?' Perhaps that's why we are taught salles de bain? 🤷🏼♀️ In any event, learning other languages and cultures is fun.
@@renfairegoddess Absolutely.... But when it's taught well enough that people won't look at you like you've grown a second head if you ever visit France and need to pee! 😆
I'm putting Adam Sandler's French line in my French final presentation tomorrow because my teacher has played the skit in class like 4 times, wish me luck
I had a French Teacher who was literally crazy AF! She would always tell "ALLE!"( "GO!") & point her finger towards the door whenever someone even whispered in her class. I would always be trying not to laugh whenever she did that!😅
Im not french but my first impression for french language is like, what the hell people do speak but after learning french few words it feels one of the beautiful langauge 👍
I can only picture the funny stuff about high school French, & I took Spanish in college, another girl had taken French before too, it was "Oui" - NO, "si" - "oh yeah. excusa me, Si" - we both barely passed 🤣😅
My 4th year French teacher, Mr. Screes, showed us this. He thought it was hilarious. He always hated what he called "schoolteacher French." Miss Beck, our 3rd year teacher, definitely spoke "schoolteacher French."
I got detention in grade 3 for trying to reenact this skit with my French teacher. My parents still laugh about the phone call home.
Wow, they didn’t teach us foreign languages until grade six in my school district. You must have gone to a good school.
@@XFS540 maybe you just went to a really bad one
🤣🤣🤣
@@XFS540 we didn’t start till 8th
They said they took French in grade 3, not 3rd grade, so this is likely a Canadian. Some French in grade 3 would not be surprising.
Omg their clothes are literally the same as the ones in my French textbook
Which French book?
@@genecahshimronepike449 get rekt
Being French myself, I can tell you no one is that joyful speaking French.😂😂😂
And it's even worst for us Parisians :p
Meh ...
And no one in that sketch is speaking a word of French either. ("Je voudrais téléphoner pour le coup de fil" wtf)
@@mrpepin, it's beaucoup de filles.
@@intimi28 this makes even less sense.
This entire show that Baldwin hosted is one of the best ever.
Yes
He’s hosted like 8 shows, but this one was sooo good. Gap girls, Mr. Deverough, etc. Classic SNL.
E Higgins I still think he was the Best host they’ve ever had!
The Mimic Sketch was pretty good from what I remember too.
That is true; virtually every sketch was excellent; a special night.
This video is definitely for my french teacher, I suffered a lot in the french course, my mouth was like a tube. ha ha ha
Where are you fro
yeah, reminds me of my summer French class at MSU
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I totally get it!🤣🤣🤣
You should have learned French in Quebec you would have to speak that way 😁
Oh my god. I can’t believe they just uploaded this on their channel
someone who took french and works in SNL social media did
This.
90s version of the Duolingo voice.
🤣🤣🤣
Genius! Just mimic the accent and tone of the voice and you pass the class
you either are in every single video existing or you have a good taste in videos
I'm always impressed by Alec Baldwin's range.
His aim, not so much. 😬
Damn
This comment didn’t age well, lol
Imagine him teaching joey
Joey: jamel blah blah blah
Locken beast lipupu
Jamel anjang
Jamel is actually the name of a very famous French comedic actor. Jamel Debbouze
I choked on my peach when Chris Farley started his french!!🤣🤣
The birth of Billy Madison's character at 2:50
You mean the birth of Adam Sandler's one-trick pony.
Best sketch about french language ever! I couldn't stop laughing, all these guys are genius 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😆🤣😆
My French teacher called himself Monsieur Printer. This is exactly how he taught French.
He was jailed for kiddie fiddling at another school.
I swear my first french teacher was also a pervert
LMAO
Phoebe Scarborough MINE TOO HDSKJDSJJV
Voo hoo derr oooh la la laaa 😂😂😂
I thought you can only fiddle stringed instruments
I had so many French teachers who talked like that and it was SO ANNOYING
Thanks for finally posting this video! I've been wanting to show this to my class for decades! Now I finally can!
It's so hilarious...i can understand Alec Baldwin pretty well, i''m french. I mean his accent is good : sound like a drunk parisian!!
His accent is terrible, I'm French too. But that's what makes the skit funny. Plus most of what he says is garbage French, the worst offender is using 'salle de bains' for 'aux toilettes'!

I choked on my water when Adam went: dabadaba dooooo ya dabadaba yoooo doooo
Wow this is literally my French class
Evy Phan me too!... like literally literally! 😜
Definitely looked my english lessons...! 😂
😂😂😂😂
I have to know: when you say “literally” there, are you making a joke?
Mine, too! It must be torture for them!
"Je voudwais téléphoner pouw coudeufi !"
Screaming lol. Also “Quel jour est-il aujourd’hui?” Took me forever to understand that one lol
Pire que quand je parle anglais 😂😂
I go to a French school with actual French teachers, and they are so different from English ones who try to speak French 😂
One of my fave SNL skits of all time because it is so right on. That is why I will learn any other language, but French.
I've always loved this skit! Sandler's pronunciation at 2:50 is no where near French and more like an auctioneer's bark!
I think he's doing more louisiana french there
That's my favorite part of the skit. I love how he just makes a bunch of noises that sound sort of like how the teacher inflects.
@@hambone1138 HaHaHa! It's so damn funny! I haven't watched this clip in a while…… I'm gonna get in a few laughs now!
No one in this video is speaking French. Not even the “French” people in “Paris”.
@@samirh2758 HA, HA, HA! Your comment just gave me a reason to watch this another dozen times!
Being french, I'm so imprest by sir Baldwin's speaking. He's great.
This got me laughing so hard I got a headache, especially at the end😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 RIP Phil Hartman we miss you.. This was awesome Lol
Which one was Phil Hartman?
The teacher is alec baldwin
@@Zimisce85 The dude who punches the teacher.
RIP Chris Farley
They showed this in my high school French class when it came out.
This turned from a French lesson to a singing lesson😂
Adam Sandler: yabba ya hoo, yabba dabba doo
I feel like this skit was written like a murder mystery- "Okay, how do we get Sandler's 'wacky voice' into a skit....."
Chris Farley: "...bloo de bloo!"
I remember watching this live back then so hilarious
My neighbor showed me this and it's the most accurate thing I've ever seen
I'm putting Adam Sandler's French line in my French final presentation tomorrow because my teacher has played the skit in class like 4 times, wish me luck
How did it go?
@@1bfrancom HELP I forgot about this and now I've graduated, but no yeah it went well
Wait, a skit that had an actual ending? :-O
As a french some of phrases are uncorrect but this is so funny 😂
ah-ah-ah! INcorrect! ☝
I havent seen this since it first aired. That ending has always stuck in my mind
Alec did a great job. LOVE his accent!!!!! Genial!
Every French teacher
I’m french and we had the same type of teacher in English class hahaha why so hyped though nobody spoke English like she did
😂😂 i m AméRiCan !!! Mon prof d anglais avec une pierre qu il tapait contre son bureau !!!!
^_^ oh man this is one of my favorite skits. Every time I'm in French class, all I can think of is this skit.
اسم المسرحيه لو سمحت ❤😂😂
I start learning French language and I try to search some comedy and this pop up 😅 omg! Makes my day.🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
I love you Chris.
I'm surprised Adam's "French" didn't include a "Yabba-Dabba-Dooo..."
And they didn't even drop their cigarettes.
- Quel here est-il?
- El es hweet Hwerees 😂
Ah so this is where Christophe Waltz got his Inglorious Basterds character from.
J'aurai adoré avoir un professeur de français comme Alec Baldwin...
Shabada ooooouu badadada oooouuu dhabadabada ahhh la la!
I had a French Teacher who was literally crazy AF! She would always tell "ALLE!"( "GO!") & point her finger towards the door whenever someone even whispered in her class. I would always be trying not to laugh whenever she did that!😅

Géniale!Une autre!Une autre!Je voudrais une autre vidéo comme celle-la!
Old but GOLD people
Tararararouuuuuu blaablibouuuu 😂
The last bit was funny as heck
Totally what French in high school in the 90’s was like
LMAO that walk Chris Farley does always got me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
ahaha)) final scene))) love Phil Hartman!)
C'était magnifique😂😂❤️Je suis Arménienne et j'apprends le français,c'est vraiment super👍🏼👍🏼❤️🇦🇲❤️🇫🇷
Faut pas se servir de cet épisode pour apprendre à parler français
Pourquoi est-ce que tu utilises le drapeau de l’Arménie ? 😂
For years now, my parents and I always quote this. Especially if we are talking about France
When SNL was funny!
You can tell Farley definitely said something funny to Sandler when Chris exited and Sandler came in.
This is what happened in my French classes.
Farley did a Joey XD
I can only picture the funny stuff about high school French, & I took Spanish in college, another girl had taken French before too, it was "Oui" - NO, "si" - "oh yeah. excusa me, Si" - we both barely passed 🤣😅
Bro’s like “Il faut avoir joie quand tu parle en français! 😃” 😂😂😂
Chris Farley 😍❤ He always looked great in leather jackets.
Loved the ending
Wow this is Gold
So much talent ♥️
0:51 Melanie Hutsell!
😂😂😂 can't stop laughing! I really understand learning french 2021 and trying to work on my tone🤣
We watched this in French class it was great
If he did a French course, No, if he was my private coach, I would be fluent in a week!!
That is *LEGIT* my French class.
What I learned from the sketch is that it was not just my French teachers who talked like this. They apparently _all_ do it.
Je voudrais allez aux Champs Elysées pour acheter de la farine du blé!
A random sentence that would fit perfectly :)
my HS spanish teach was just as kind, even though I was a terrible student☠️
As a french canadian, Baldwin's french is not that bad! If I'm not mistaken, he once had a french canadian girlfriend...
Deja Vu. Exactly like my 2nd year high school French teacher. Always wanted to see him go to France and get his ass kicked.
My 4th year French teacher, Mr. Screes, showed us this. He thought it was hilarious. He always hated what he called "schoolteacher French." Miss Beck, our 3rd year teacher, definitely spoke "schoolteacher French."
Alec is as French as Hilaria is Spanish lol
Oh, the tears are tripping me! So horribly true to life!
love this throwback!
Omg one of my favorite!
it reminds joey speaking french in friends
That little clap kills me
Adams part killed me
salle de bain = room to bathe, not where you use a toilet.
I think that was deliberate lmao.
lol i watched this in french class and everyone was quoting it
Adam Sandler was so young and athletic.
Look, it's Phoebe's happy boyfriend!!! Maybe he was Joey's teacher! :0
Me when i enter french class:
Me: bonjour
Realizes its Spanish Class
Me: Adios
TnT
I took french 4 years and hes not bad. Lil out of it sounds like he just woke up all loopy but not bad
Damn this is a great sketch, 1st time Ive ever seen it
My French teachers nostrils used to flare. She was a kiwi. Took a lot of air to get those tones right
I just got back from Paris. This is absolutely hilarious!
FANTASTIQUE!!!! ❤️🇫🇷
3:25 Kevin Nealon on the far right!
C’est excellent !!!! 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
"Je voudrais téléphoner pour coup de fil" makes no sense XD
It's not supposed to be real French. That's the gag.
I have never met a French teacher who claps and applauds their students that much. Très bien is rare but I have heard pas mal/not bad too much. 😅
