I had no idea people were having a hard time saying the word “Heineken” but now there’s a commercial about it so it must be true. High-nih-ken. Oh wait, we can’t say “ken” because of the Barbie Oscar snub. The movie (I watched it so you don’t have to) is all about female empowerment and no woman got an award, just Ken. The irony. Anyway, let’s watch the Heinebarbie commercial together…
How you doin’? Is this not exactly like the “Friends” episode where Joey is trying to learn French? Well, trying is a stretch, but he sort of said some French things, I guess. One of the least funny scenes in all of “Friends” history.
The Music. I’m sensing a theme and the theme is French. The track in the commercial is a title in French called “Ca Plane Pour Moi” by Plastic Bertrand. Here’s the full song from 1977.
Moi. I’m sure there are plenty of other versions of this song but I found one from France’s version of “The Voice” and I guess every French person knows this song? Watch the judges sing along. I’m impressed because I don’t parlez-vous Francais. The contestant might not have amazing vocals but her entertainment value is through the roof. Judges should’ve kept her around!
