How every episode ends

Same ending every time. Like a family dinner, it never changes, and somebody always gets hurt.

  1. Gérard pointing at the viewer, furious

    Gérard says one thing too many about Monique.

  2. Monique raising a baguette over her head

    Bonk. Monique answers with a baguette.

  3. Papy René, half asleep, his glass of red wine in hand

    Papy René has the last word, straight to you.

  4. Monique pointing a TV remote at the viewer

    Monique grabs the remote and switches you off.

Who’s at the table

Gérard, beret and huge red nose, furious

Gérard

the dad

Yells the news at you, knows everything about America, has never set foot there.

“HEY, AMERICA! TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT EXTRA?! ARE YOU INSANE?!”

Monique in hair rollers, smirking

Monique

the mom

Destroys Gérard with logic that is somehow even worse than his.

“For that price, the waiter better wipe my ass!”

Chloé, long blond hair, bored, her pink phone in hand

Chloé

the daughter

Reads the actual facts off her phone. Nobody listens.

“One L.A. restaurant: twenty percent forced tip. Plus a five percent admin fee.”

Papy René, flat cap and long nose, half asleep

Papy René

the grandpa

Sleeps through the episode, then ends it in ten words or less.

“In France, the service is included. The violence too.”
