2:45 - Bongiorno 2:52 - Louvre doors. and 1:02 - "Que Sera Sera" is according to wiktionary: A hispanicization of the artificial Italian language phrase "che sara sara", from standard Italian quel che sarà, sarà (“what will be, will be”), which hispanicization was made by American composers Jay Livingston and Ray Evans for use as the title to their 1956 song “Que Sera, Sera” (as such, this phrase represents an artifice based upon an artifice).
I love it too, but I think what made it special was that unlike amatuerish American-inspired comedy that tries too hard in every line, OFAH has a good balance of humour and sombre moments where you connect and relate with the characters. So the jokes land better -they are more unexpected and actually make you laugh.
"Mais oui! C'est le Citroen DS Décapité" I once heard a London Car Dealer tell me this! He continued with "Et aussie, regardez Le Vulva 740 Dieselment!" - It could have only been Del Boy in training!
I mean... Arguably, making up new slang is perfectly fine otherwise language freezes, and if anyone is qualified to make up new Cockney rhymes, it would be a Cockney like Dyer
The funniest part is when he holds a serious conversation in French with that woman and doesn't seem the slightest bit phased. It's like he has a whole actual language in his head where all the words are French but the meanings are mixed up.
John Sullivan worked at a 2nd hand car salesman before he went to the BBC. The owner would always try to impress and kept using French or Latin phrases. The staff either got confused if they didn’t know what it meant or if they did but the phrase had no relevance to the request lol. “Give that car a chapelle ardente” etc lol. David Jason had a trade as an electrician before being an actor and his then boss was the sort of man who ‘dressed like a lord and spoke like a fishmonger’. Put the two together and you get DelBoy Trotter.
That's the art of it, not even he knows "what the french say", so not knowing what it is translated is what makes it funny!! At least for me it is anyways :p
Exotic Moods What, you mean proper Cockney? I bloody ope so! I rarely hear it now, in day to day life and even on the tele it's not too common. Even some of the characters in EastEnders don't sound like proper Cockneys.
@@staceykeeley4219 A real Cockney is from Cheapside, going eastwards - Bow area. Del is from South London [ Peckham is in South East London ] so its just a regular London twang. David and his brother, Arthur who is also an actor where both born in North London. Nicholas Lyndhurst was born in Worthing in West Sussex. I think a true East London accent wouldn't be understood, some dialects can be a little too strong particularly for TV. Some of the cast from Eastenders are from London and some are just putting the accent on, its a pretty easy dialect to do, I think the hardest is Liverpool.
@@jamesratcliffe534 'heroes and villains'. It's the bit at the start when Rodney asks del if he can have the afternoon off because it's his birthday and del pretends he's forgotten and goes "It's your birthd-? OH A LA BROCHETTE" 🤦🏻♂️😂😂😂
One time my mum phoned up a shop called Bonprix and she said 'Is this bon pricks?' and the man said 'It's Bon preeeeeee'. She said she was joking but I didn't think she was hahahaha. I called her Del Boy.
"Leave it out Del, most of your French phrases come from a Citroën manual" - Rodney Trotter
Mais oui mon brave, c'est le Citroen DS Décapité
I feel Citröen is a bit more fancy than Peugeot, and Peugeot is a bit more fancy than Renault.
So Delboy chose well.

The best show UK has ever given to the world.
Best show ever period :D
Oh is it bollocks. It was alright back in the day, but watch it now it just comes off as a Minder rip off, which is exactly what it was....
IndependentGeorge76 Few would agree, tens of millions would not!
Stormwatch153 agreed
Stormwatch153 agreed
Del’s French-speaking was one of the funniest aspects of that show.
There isn't and never will be a better character than Del Boy. John Sullivan & David Jason both absolute masters.
Marque du fabrique
Another Pompey fan, finally.
Fabriq Belgiq
All the characters are legends. Even though, some have since died. They are all legends. 😂😂😂 😥😥😥
This is the best show ever given. I can watch this for the rest of my life.
EL WOLLY has me in stitches every time
Quo Vadis 😭😭😭😭😭
It reminds me of Unt plonker! LOL! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She's having a baby and he sayd "Vorsprung Durch Technik" XD
Dels Greatest French phrase of all time
“Bonnet de douche”
Žešće zajebana serija, evo dve iljade petnaesta a nikako da smori :)
nikako
+Kimi IMHO the best French phrase is "Chambourcy nouvell"...continued with "Dickson of Kuala lumpur is involved".
Kimi Evo bas danas razmisljam kako je moguce da se 15 godina smejem istim forama... ne znam jel do mene ili su stvarno tako smesni!!
Kimi chateauneuf du pape!
U kojoj epizodi kaze bonnet de douche?
This kind of comedy ,we'll never get again God bless them all
1:34
Girl: What part of France are you from?
DB: Oh yes, I love you, I adore you, on the bridge of Avignon...
*Girl fucks off*
Hahaha, priceless
Viva la France as they say in Rome :DDDD
Србин . Koliko vidim mi Srbi najvise gledamo ovo, tres bien ansamble hahahahahahhaha
Nikola Ilic Серија је била емитована више у Србији него у Британији :)
Pa znam ja imam inace sve epizode na cd-u, nikad mi nece dosaditi, svi su likovi carevi :))
Nema bolje serije.. Niti će se ikada snimiti:-). Bonjur Triest :-).
Viva la Gallia*
Best one is in Miami Twice.
They're trying to kill me????
FROMAGE FRAIS!
Nope. The best one is Laboratoires Garnier, from If They Could See Us Now (2001).
I was waiting for it but it never came
First you feel his fear, the realisation that he's gonna die but then you just crack up when he says "FROMAGE FRAIS!"
😂😂😂
Chambousse nouvelle
Would you Adam and Eve, Dixon of curalumpa is involved
Still the best program to grace this earth!
2:45 - Bongiorno
2:52 - Louvre doors.
and 1:02 - "Que Sera Sera" is according to wiktionary: A hispanicization of the artificial Italian language phrase "che sara sara", from standard Italian quel che sarà, sarà (“what will be, will be”), which hispanicization was made by American composers Jay Livingston and Ray Evans for use as the title to their 1956 song “Que Sera, Sera” (as such, this phrase represents an artifice based upon an artifice).
I’m really glad talking to Anna allowed Del to put his French speaking skills to the test. And boy, did he nail it!
No other comedy will ever top this . Pure laughter from 1st minute till last

I can speak french fluently now thanks to del boy... "poulet a la petite pois" as the French say.
yes, as Rodney pointed out, Delboy got most of his French phrases from a Citroen manual :)
I am French and I am loving this so bad
it's the 'creme de la menthe' as the french would say.
Creme Brûlée Mon ami
Watching this is the best way to start off the day 💯❤🙌🏼
2:58 vorsprung durch technik - audi lol
it makes sense in the context as the woman is german
Watch the start of 'Heros & Villains'. You'll see Del's son Damian say 'oh Bonnet de Douche'. That cracks me up every time 😭😭😂😂
Watched this... I was in pain with laughter! Epic comedy.
"Mais oui! C'est le Citroen DS Décapité" I once heard a London Car Dealer tell me this! He continued with "Et aussie, regardez Le Vulva 740 Dieselment!" - It could have only been Del Boy in training!
Del's french is hilarous, but i liked uncle Albert's German the best 😂
"VOT IS YOUR NEM?"
Cracks me up every time!
Vive le France, as they say in Rome :D
I LOVE his false usage of French words
'Ménage à trois' gets me every time.
Lol that translation.
3:14 best part Rodney smiling lmaoooooooooo
When he says "bonjour" instead of "goodbye," it's the best.
0:48 - Del wiping his greasy hands on Grandad’s old scarf 😂
😂😂😂😂
Only Fools and Horses and Still Game just go to show how much comedic genius is in the UK.
Whole cast are legends.
Missed my favourite two.
FABRIQUE BELGIQUE and CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE!
Del’s French is always spot on! C’est magnifique! 🇫🇷👌
Escargot!
Love it when he says bonnet de douche which means shower cap, which wasn't in this video!
😅😅😅😅😂😂😂
Love it! Been looking for all his French phrases for ages!
"Pomme de terre" would have been another good un
.....sur la pont, ..d'avignon.--Del Boy,the greatest geezer that ever lived.
Menage a trois!
El wally!
Pot pourri!
Crème de la menthe!
Classic.
I think there's a bit of Peugeot thrown in too :)
This video should be titled, “as the french say!” 😂
100 % Hillarious!
"Vorsprung durch technik"
"Potage bon femme"
"Parlez vous the old francaise"
The ones from that episode are class!
Don't forget alla brue shit
Awesome! Thank you for sharing.

My favorite lol
9wolves2007 yeahh hahahaha Epic!!
Wolves are bad
"Kay Serah Serah...as the French say" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely love it xx
This video would be perfect with the French translations at the bottom! :)
I’m currently in Paris knocking the French sorts bandy with the lingo thanks to Del
Del, say sumfink Dutch
"Ajax"
2:37 I'm sure Del just wanted to say, "....an Investment my ass."
Po-pourri!! Love that one!
you forgot "They're trying kill to me... Fromage Freis!!" from Miami Twice part 2
OFAH is a credit to my heart. Always and forever. Greatest laughs of all time.
'Well, potage bonne femme'
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍
One of my favourites is 'crudites a la plat!', which he says in 'Stage Fright'.
Funny he still makes more sense than Danny Dyers made up cockney rhyming slang in eastenders!!!
I mean... Arguably, making up new slang is perfectly fine otherwise language freezes, and if anyone is qualified to make up new Cockney rhymes, it would be a Cockney like Dyer
Steven K Ellingham Dyer is a mockney
Del Boy: "Bonnet de Douche, as the French say".
Ovaj covek je neverovatan,kakva je ovo faca,moj omiljeni glumac.
"Plume de la mouton." I'll keep that one for later use : )
My aunt's pen 🤣😂😂
The funniest part is when he holds a serious conversation in French with that woman and doesn't seem the slightest bit phased. It's like he has a whole actual language in his head where all the words are French but the meanings are mixed up.
Where is the best one,from Chain Gang:Everyone's a winner, apres moi le deluge

This was my favourite anime as a kid.
I wonder if people in London or in UK in general still speak with that accent.
I am really curious, if only someone could let me know... Thanks
some do

A la mode, a la mode 😂😂😂
You know something I been meaning to do & never have is to look at all the French phrases del has come out with & see what they all mean.
I wish there were scenes of Mrs. Bucket trying to speak French - live up to her properly pronounced name (Bouquet).
I know, but the quote was too good to leave out!
What about mange tous? :p
