Comments on episode #011:

milimalimaloue Quelle belle leçon. Et surtout quelle beautiful song. It's a pity to me that you did not perform the duck-fucking-a-rabbit step this time, but it's still a beautiful song. And I believe I am gonna be your first review today, which is good. March 16, 2006 2:47 PM

milimalimaloue Ouh and I almost forgot to congratulate you on that new haircut, blondie ! March 16, 2006 2:52 PM

Vinvin: Thank you! It's my pleasure... ;-) March 16, 2006 2:58 PM

Tann: There are some tits sur ton video clip ! The Motion Picture Association of America va l'interdire aux moins de 21 years... :-( March 16, 2006 3:22 PM

Jude: You should be history and geography teacher (even if with this haircut you would'n't be credibeule)... March 16, 2006 3:23 PM

Tippie: Even without the sound, it seems like fun :o) Can't wait to be home to listen to your new show ! ;o) You're such a cute blonde !(and a smart one, so it seems ?! waouhhh !) Where are the naked guys ? March 16, 2006 3:42 PM

Gilles Truc: Thank'sss Captain!! March 16, 2006 3:53 PM

Valentin: We need you in all the schools of the world Vinvin !!!!!!!!! the universal history teacher !!!! March 16, 2006 4:17 PM

Heinz Guderian: Ach ! z'est la chanson de Anna Marly qui fait la B.O.F. PS : Calimero... pff... March 16, 2006 4:17 PM

Valentin: In your videoclip you look like a mix of Gainsbourg and Dave Gahan... sorry... March 16, 2006 4:19 PM

Magnolia: J'ai même pas encore regardé... je l'garde pour plus tard... Mais bon. March 16, 2006 4:55 PM

Monsieur Maurice Ce sont ses vrais cheveux au militaire ? March 16, 2006 6:40 PM

tippie: Cyrille, it looks like there is a huuuuuge dick on your drawing ...?! Eeerrrk !! ;^) March 16, 2006 7:04 PM

Hugo: the line Maginot ? so far ? are you sure ? well, we don't matter, it's too late now... in fact, this show is absolutely wonderful, it proves one more time that Ardennes are totally useless for France and that you were a disco singer in another life ! vraiment cette chanson excellente... March 16, 2006 7:16 PM

maza: Thank you for the history lesson! I've never had a lesson that fun... Perhaps it is the hair cut... All the history teachers should have blond braids... :) I like your song, but I agree with Tippie: where are the naked guys?! Vivement le prochain show! March 16, 2006 7:53 PM

Luciole: Ohohoh! En voilà une leçon d'histoire qu'elle est bonne! Et quel matos: le tableau, les feutres... Si on avait eu une teacher aussi sexy que toi... Notre destin aurait été tout autre, c'est certain. War is bad, tin tin, sex is good, tin tin, guns are bad, tin tin, love is good, oh yeah! (ça y est, on l'a dans la tête... Tout le monde la chantonnera dans le métro en allant au taf demain matin) Maintenant c'est sûr, je suis contre la guerre! CONTRE! March 16, 2006 9:08 PM

Paula Roïde: Vinvin RuleZ !!! March 16, 2006 9:21 PM

barnabé: Vl'à que tu fais du racolage en plus (bien que je n'ai pas vu beaucoup de poils comme annoncé). Tu vas te mettre à dos (si j'ose m'exprimer ainsi) une partie de la population américaine cathoprude. Tu prends des risques mon gars. PS: Tactiquement, je comprends désormais pourquoi l'armée allemande a pénétré nos lignes. March 17, 2006 8:47 AM

Pierre: Excellent song Cyrille! An hymn to be! About the jokes of this kind, I've once reicived that one by e-mail from Utah : "how much frenchmen are needed to defend Paris? - nobody knows... they have never tryed! :( March 17, 2006 9:53 AM

Turquois: Quelle "big army" en effet ! Sinon, je ne savais pas qu'Alain Bashung et Gilbert Montagné avaient eu un fils :) March 17, 2006 5:57 PM

Ross: Great Show! Just heard about it on NPR. Although here in Texas Sex is bad and Guns are good. March 17, 2006 9:40 PM

Bert Just caught your interview on NPR (also). I agree that War is Bad...and Sex is Good! As "Ross" said: In Texas, guns are not bad. I would add that having sex with guns is not good. But a person in Texas must love his guns???? How do I make sense of this? March 17, 2006 10:42 PM

Steve I'm an Englishman living in the USA - again I heard about you on NPR. You are very funny my comical French friend! I feel that you are improving both American-French relations and Anglo-French relations ... remind me again, why do the English and French dislike each other so much? Keep up the good work! Vive la France! P.S: Guns ARE bad, and sex is very good. March 17, 2006 11:48 PM

melissa thank you for taking the time to share with us Americans, as we are a bit cut off from the outside world. Meliss March 17, 2006 11:49 PM

Rolfy1 dude, you are one hip ass Frenchy. You can come to Colorado anytime. You are the best thing from France since French Onion Soup March 18, 2006 0:39 AM

Hal C'est bien drôle. Je marque le URL et j'espère en voir plus. Many Americans like me like the French and appreciate their interest in us, just as many French (in my experience) like Americans (and generally know much more about us than we do about them). Hal March 18, 2006 0:40 AM

dawn: You are hilarious. I wish I could introduce you to Clint Eastwood. If you came to the USA, I'd introduce you to my dad... he's kind of similar. March 18, 2006 0:51 AM

Milferd Neat. Good Vidio. I have never understood the French coward jokes here in the US. At most you can claim the French and British leadership was stupid sometimes and the Germans were more cleaver that time. But I have no idea how some here in the US confused being out played with being scared. I could understand French are brave but stupid jokes from early WWII but have no idea where the coward jokes came from. (French stupid jokes would be stupid as you would have to ignore the rest of French history to think that) March 18, 2006 1:03 AM

Evelyne so far so good. I think that you'd enjoy a blog called Neopoleon.com. Congradulations for your blog and for being on NPR. Sincerely, your new franco-american fan, Evelyne March 18, 2006 1:08 AM

Dorothée: Alors, tu as fait la sombre connaissance de notre populiste O'Reilly... Merci de ton cours d'histoire, et puis t'es vachement doue en dessin, je suis sure que t'etais bon aussi en E.M.T. ! March 18, 2006 1:40 AM

patrick Heard your posting on NPR. This is Monterey calling. I have sent Clint Eastwood an email about you. He will be dialing in. Mais seriousement, mon fils etait ne en France mais il est dans l'armee americain...et il fait la guerre et l'amour. C'est ca la double nationalite! Mais son pelaton dans le 82eme a insiste que ca doit etre lui qui porte le drapeau blanc dans son sac a dos parce que c' est lui le francais et qui sais? L'experience compte pour quelque chose, n'est-ce pas? . Content que tu fait l'emission...a bientot. March 18, 2006 2:20 AM

Deborah: I heard about the show on NPR today and just watched every episode. You have me laughing out loud. Keep the good times coming! Merci beaucoup! Deborah March 18, 2006 2:30 AM

rona Tres bien! Good story on NPR. French should forget about Army and war, too much spine needed. Make love! March 18, 2006 2:51 AM

Simone Otto: Yes, I heard about you on NPR as well. It was difficult to concentrate on the history lesson while watching those vibrant golden braids, but I enjoyed it none the less. I don't think having a reputation of having a bad army and great wine is a bad thing... for that matter most people I know would probably have know idea whether the French army is good or bad, but they certainly know the wine is good. The song was very amusing, but the pictures gave rather the message that men (aka soldiers) are bad, and naked women are good. I wish I could have seen a naked man or two in the video... Still, all in all you have yet another new fan.;-) March 18, 2006 3:22 AM

Jason Bonds: Rock on man, please dont judge all us texans by george bush! March 18, 2006 3:47 AM

Dave: Yep, heard about you on NPR. You rock like Turbonegro, like Beavis and Butthead, like Wesley Willis. You rock like the skinny Elvis. With my help, I promise that you will rock both of my friends, and all of the four people who visit my web page. Rock on, mon ami. March 18, 2006 7:50 AM

Ekzit: You forget the little "jingle" that make the soldiers enthusiasm : " hhhaaannn, deux, hhhaaaannn, deux, hhhaaaannn, deux..." March 18, 2006 2:56 PM

Tom Hello, This does not concern your blog. I will be in Paris the first week in April. I play bass guitar in a blues band here in CA. I am looking for blues clubs in Paris. Can you assist? March 18, 2006 3:56 PM

Wally Bonjour! I like your spirit and attitude. When I win the lottery I will buy an old house somewhere by Beynac on the Dordogne River. I've been there several times and would like to live in that area. Then I'll invite you and your friends to visit me to drink some Cotes du Rhone. Good luck with your entertaining website. March 18, 2006 8:39 PM

d34dpuppy cyrille u totally rock,dud March 18, 2006 9:27 PM

grosjeff les Marcel Richaud de cet été, tu les bois AVANT ou APRES le show? March 18, 2006 10:39 PM

deedoff Ennnccoreeee !!! C'est trop génial ces p'tits films ! March 18, 2006 10:51 PM

judy Heard about your site on NPR in Texas. Great show, great teaching style. Am recommending your blog. March 19, 2006 0:12 AM

Jedi Wannabe Hi Cyrille! I heard your interview on NPR, too (in New Hampshire!); I was so intrigued that someone across the pond would even WANT to go through the lenghs you're going through to get your message across. It's people like you who could really make world peace a reality - thank you! I just finished watching all of your episodes - absolutely HYSTERICAL!! VERY creative and funny, keep up the excellent work! I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us! P.S. Do you have anything to say about French/American drivers? My parents went to France last year and had some pretty fun stories about driving their rental car down the streets of Paris. March 19, 2006 2:43 AM

Callie Just learned of your blog, and wanted to let you know that I could have saved you a lot of time - whatever Bill O'Reilly says is usually the opposite of the truth. So just laugh at him and watch, all the while contradicting everything that idiot has to say! It's really fun. March 19, 2006 8:05 AM

Mry: The best one !... Even if you draw a little dick on your billboard... Petit Canaillou ! March 19, 2006 8:07 AM

neeta Love the site...heard about it on NPR. I am recommending it to anyone who will listen. I really hope the French do not take Bill O'Reilly seriously...we don't. March 19, 2006 11:46 AM

Laurent Bravo pour la leçon d'histoire et bravo pour l'incrustation!!!! March 19, 2006 1:21 PM

julien Juste une précision, si la ligne maginot s'est arrêtée à la Belgique c'est aussi parce que la Belgique était un pays neutre comme la suisse, et que tout le monde pensait que pour cette raison elle ne se ferait pas envahir par l'Allemagne. March 19, 2006 3:57 PM

Fletch: Vinvin, you are a GREAT ambassador for France! President Jacques Chirac should award you La Légion d'Honneur!! March 19, 2006 9:39 PM

Gary How delightful! Thank you. I have always believed two things: 1. Most, if not all, successful comedians are very intelligent people. This is necessary to see the absurdity in everyday life and present it in such a way as to show people the true humour in it. 2. If you are an intelligent person and have a good mind, you should take it out and play with it every once in a while. You appear to fit both these criteria. What a wonderful job! I consider what you are doing a public service. March 19, 2006 9:45 PM

Tom Dear Cyrille, My family enjoyed "Is the French Army Good?. Now, this has absolutely nothing to do with armies, war, or love . . . but, in the United States, we invented Rock n' Roll. In the sixties, the British joined the game. I can't recall ever hearing a French Rock n' Roll record on the radio here in the States. But surely French musicians must like to rock. They certainly made great contributions to Jazz music. Tell us about some of the best French Rockers (best in your opinion). March 19, 2006 9:55 PM

Léna: Faites parvenir cette vidéo à l'Education Nationale, s'il-vous-plaît ! Quelle leçon de pédagogie ! Bravo Vinvin ! March 20, 2006 2:53 PM

milimalimaloue Ok so you're on the BBC and all... but while you're celebrating like mad, WE are waiting for the new episode to come. We've been waiting for 4 days now : have pity on us, we're badly in need. March 20, 2006 5:12 PM

grace/chez grace Hey Vinvin, you're superb! I want to know more about you! Got a website? Do you perform live in Paris? Wanna come to my party? March 21, 2006 9:10 AM

La gReLuChe: En Somme, on s'est fait baiser par les Allemands, qu'on a baisé à notre tour avec d'autant plus de force que les Anglais et les Américains (et les Canadiens, ne les oublions pas) étaient derrière nous. Fuck the Germans. Fuck is Love. Love is good. I love you, je vous aime, Ich liebe euch. March 21, 2006 3:03 PM

SickBoy Si la ligne Maginot n'a pas été prolongée jusqu'à la mer du Nord, c'est surtout pour des raisons diplomatiques avec la Belgique. C'était juste un détail :) Sinon c'est toujours aussi sympa de lire tes vidéos, vivement la prochaine ! cu all english and french speaking people. March 21, 2006 7:05 PM

FdM: War is bad and Clint Eastwood ! March 23, 2006 12:52 AM

Hugues: Bon sang, j'avais loupé ça par inadvertance. Excellent ! C'est le plus rigolo de la série. March 30, 2006 3:56 PM

laurent c'est quoi NPR ? Il semble que tu ais atteint la célébrité la bas ? April 2, 2006 0:02 AM

le blondin Hi, This is Clint E. mailing. Thanks for your invitations but the ugly is back, I don't have time. Sorry. April 2, 2006 12:23 AM

nemo: En fait, je trouve même plus les mots in English pour exprimer mon enthousiasme. C'est génial et puis c'est tout. Vinvin président (ou alors prof d'histoire) ! April 5, 2006 1:10 AM

Den85 Salut Bonjour America!!! bravo à Cyrille, moi je suis un étudiant français en Angleterre, on me fait chier avec la guerre, et tous ça, trop bien ton clip :) Et super la chanson, faudra en faire un vrai tube, keep up the good work! ;) April 5, 2006 5:48 PM

Rob I read about your site on BBC News. To say the least your videos have intrigued me to keep checking your updates. Being from the U.S. however, I don't agree with "guns are bad". They are inanimate objects that are used inappropriately by bad people. Keep up the otherwise great work, I'll be coming back. April 5, 2006 6:44 PM

Michael The sad truth is guns are almost necessary in some areas of my country. Of course, we don’t need them, but the criminals can easily obtain military style weapons with little trouble. It’s easier to legally purchase an AK47 than get a drivers license. I live in Shreveport, LA a small southern city of about 200 thousand people. Our crime rate is among the highest in the country. A few weeks ago a man was shot and killed, because he was cutting the neighbors grass without permission! A couple days ago an elderly man was shot and killed, when he walked into his house and found a burglar. Also, a man tried selling me a SKS assault rifle in the parking lot near my home. Every two or three days somebody is killed so, I’m armed. I have a pistol for my car, house, and will soon have another to conceal on my body. Maybe I’ll purchase a machinegun just for good measure! I have no choice April 5, 2006 10:24 PM

Ted Many Americans dont know that without the Great French General Lafayette (and his army), We never would have been able to win the Revolution in 1776. Lafayette was celebrated as a hero all over the States after the war. There was a time when most Americans remembered this. In WWI US solders would visit Lafayette grave to pay their respects. One US General was quoted as saying "Lafayette we have come" And please don't listen to that Bill Orelly person. Just a few years ago in a strife torn West African country the French Army went in to pull out French and American Civilians April 6, 2006 3:15 AM

Steph Yeah, don't listen to Bill O'Reilly. We think he's full of shit too. I've seen bumper stickers around here that read "Boycott France". Although I believe the only French exports to the US are wine and cheese. Haha, one time the pathetic Bill O'Reilly claimed that his boycott ruined the French economy. I know that you all live in cardboard boxes now that about 10 of O'Reilly's viewers stopped buying cheese. I am an American who hates guns. So there, not all Americans are gun lovers. April 8, 2006 6:25 AM

Neil Hoskins: Vous parlait de la Line Maginot. Ici un chanson Anglais de George Formby de 1939. You should see me out in France wearing my tin hat. Midst shot and shell it's worse than..! Well it's even worse than that. Now imagine me on the Maginot Line, sitting on a mine in the Maginot line. Now it's turned out nice again, the army life is fine. French girls make a fuss of me, I'm not French as you can see But I know what they mean when they say Oui Oui, down on the Maginot line. Now imagine me in the Maginot line, sitting on a mine in the Maginot line Now it's turned out nice again, the army life is fine. The enemy we had to chase, but my gun got out of place. I went and shot the colonel in the base, down on the Maginot line. Now imagine me in the Maginot line, sitting on a mine in the Maginot line. Now it's turned out nice again, the army life is fine. At night myself to sleep I sing, to my old tin hat I cling. I have to use it for everything, down on the Maginot line. Now imagine me in the Maginot line, sitting on a mine in the Maginot line Now it's turned out nice again, the army life is fine Suddenly a pain I felt. A doctor on my tummy knelt. He slapped a poultice underneath my belt, right on the Maginot line. Now imagine me in the Maginot line, sitting on a mine in the Maginot line Now it's turned out nice again, the army life is fine. Hitler can't kid us a lot. His secret weapon's 'tommyrot" You ought to see what the sergeant's got, down on the Maginot line, down on the Maginot line. April 10, 2006 3:48 PM

Rebee: Bill O'Reily is full of crap... Steph is right. Smarter Americans rarely watch Fox news at all. Thank you for your informative history lesson... watching some of your shows reminds me how bad my High School French really is. ;) July 18, 2006 2:57 AM

Gabriel Hey Vinvin ! Thanks a lot! tu me permets dans ma retraite à l'étranger de rigoler un peu. Et oui je suis au pays des saucisses, mais en vivant avec une américaine, j'ai matière à réflechir :p Je dois d'ailleurs t'avouer que le coup du fromage (frenchcheese project) est bien vrai, j'ai testé... Enfin well done ! Continue, et si tu as besoin d'inspiration fais moi signe :p Gab October 13, 2006 11:34 AM
