I saw this years ago then, in a meeting at work, there was a French person who kept doing that and I had to keep biting my lip to avoid my laughter bursting out. That was a very painful meeting.

We do do uuuugggghhhh a lot. I've never realised it but oh my god I do it so much. Most of my sentences are ugggghhhh

[hildaelson]

The only person who can talk about stereotype and cliche and still make them not cringy. And nothing particular vulgar. Gotta love this man.

I have TAUGHT French and had students urrghhing within a couple of days!!! It just comes naturally!!!

He's in a league of his own with his gestures, facial expressions and observational comedy. And very affable.

[trashbanditcn]

i love this guy. he does his entire act without actually being insulting, like many comedians i have seen before

[chuppetsable]

He's right though about the "err ", we do do that!
Too often if you ask me. 😂😂😂

The noise thing is so true!! It’s not my first language but it was my grandparent’s first so growing up I learned it along with the odd intermittent grunting and I’ve never had my abilities questioned in France and I attribute that to the and ehhhhs between actual words 😂

I'm Flemish and we do this too. There even used to be a game show "Zeg eens euhm..." (Say errr...) where people were challenged to speak without using this sound, and failing miserably.
This interpretation of that habit is hilarious. Well done Mr. McIntyre 😂

[sistagalsistagal]

This man brings pure happiness to your

[sanniexplorer]

I remember my French flatmate doing that all of the time 😂🙈

I wish Michael McIntyre had been my French teacher at school.

French do this because they verbs in 1st person singular unusually ends with vowel sound, so is natural. I love liaising to French people when they talk in English they have such a cute accent.

I'm French and I find that funny, and um I uh think there's like uh something umm similar in English.

[maxineharrison]

[gilmourishgilmourish]

[mochike]

[LewisCoxall]

They are like "Who turned on the hoover? " 😂

[libbyreesbarresi]

[gypsywoman]
