Do you watch DVD's with a/the 'foreign' language on?
I do.

I wonder if, say, The Simpsons are funny in the french language. I took French in high school for a semester and got a B. So I can't understand much.. But I can say that Dan Castellaneta is funnier.

Anyway, so I was watching Talladega Nights--The Ballad of Ricky Bobby in french and when it came time for Rickey and his sidekick to do their 'Shake and Bake' fistbump gimmick, the froggies had them say "Rock and Roll" instead.

Rock and Roll?

So are you telling me that the nation that gave us greasy diner fare like French Fries and French Toast don't know Sweet FA about Shake and Bake?

Tragic. (any cornflake chicken?)

What's your experience?
