This Irish comedian landed what might just be the perfect French language joke and it’s simply magnifique
Thanks to the Olympics, we’re all obsessed with everything France right now.
So what better time for Irish comedian Neil Delamere to crack an absolute corker of a joke about the French language during his stand-up?
Delamere was performing at a gig in Limerick in Ireland, when he got chatting to a member of the audience (the video is slightly NSFW, be warned!)

Turns out the punter is from the French Caribbean.
Delamere goes on to say:
“The French Caribbean is fecking all the best things of two different places. It’s baguettes and Lilt. It’s fecking amazing. It’s fromage and Bounty bars. It’s the best place in the world!”
He then asks the guy what brought him to Ireland, and the guy responds with “love”.
To which Delamere says:
“Now, we don’t know if he means love or an egg.”
Geddit? ‘L’oeuf’ being French for an egg?
Ba-dum-tish!
As with Delamere’s audience in the video, you might find the joke a bit of a grower (or a groaner).
