Proof that French people are trashier than us
La France would have you believe she is the embodiment of refinement. The French have always shown us poor Americans, Australians and Brits how the world should work.
But as we know, it’s nice to realise that even the seemingly super-human are, well, just human…
Garance Doré made us feel better about the fact that even French women can’t keep up with their beauty routines. Alison Eastaway assuaged our fears about not being able to make friends with the French, and David Jaggard had a good rant about the horrors of French bureaucracy.
Now, appealing to the bogan, redneck or chav in all of us (depending on your location): proof that French people are trashier than us too.
We loved Chelsea Fagan’s brilliant list on ‘Thought Catalog’, featuring 21 reasons why French people are way trashier than Americans.
From the bloodthirsty lyrics of their national anthem, to awful reality TV shows, sleazy politicians and racist cereal brands – if you need a good laugh, this is it.
Reasons 9 – 11 are some of my favourites; which are yours?
Are French people as refined as they seem (or claim) to be? What do you think? Share your thoughts below!

I love 18 – the note is written by the plants lol But 20! Non! Ham, butter and baguette is delicious and certainly a daily delight:) Ahhh butter ….
Number 20 definitely made me laugh! I’m not sure that a plain ham baguette makes someone trashy though!
Number 11 is extremely worrying!
Haha! Glad you enjoyed it Sandra and Alex… Gosh, it does make you worry doesn’t it? Though I think it’s safe to say that the French will never be worse than some of the things Aussies, Brits and Americans get up to 😉
LOL (or MDR) nothing like tongue in cheek humour to get a conversation started:)
I don’t think this makes the French ‘trashy’… maybe there’s a different connotation across the pond?
A baguette sandwich is still a BAGUETTE! =)
I got a good laugh at these! The French national anthem is borderline psychotic!
I’m definitely adding ‘When He Farts He Rips A Hole In His Underwear’ to my iPod…
But I feel like this lists neglects the fact that French politics is like a bad soap opera. Non-stop drama. 😉
