Sorry to poor quality but this is from 05 avril 1986, analog, Pal substandard, stored on VHS tapes...
This is hilariously funny...

The backstory is unbelievable.
Michel Drucker has been a familiar, friendly face on French TV since the 60's: a monument like the Eiffel tower or camembert or baguette. Champs Elysees was Drucker TV show back then, live on Saturday evenings. That day he invited Gainsbourg... and Houston. He later explained he tried to stop Gainsbourg by every mean but was simply brushed aside. As soon as Gainsbourg saw W.H, Drucker knew it was a prescription to disaster.
Gainsbourg was in Gainsbarre mode: the provocative, alcoholic drugged wreck Jane Birkin had ran away from in 1981. Same one that burned a 500 Francs live on TV.
Drucker is visibly appalled if not angered and tries to stop the train wreck, to no avail.
W.H "Whaaat he said ?
Drucker "he said you are beautiful
S.G "Shut up. I said I WANT TO FUCK HER
Drucker "he is drunk. He is often like that
S.G "I M NOT DRUNK
W.H "yes you are.

Except Gainsbourg in Gainsbarre mode. Jane Birkin made clear that Gainsbourg (the good poet and singer and decent fellow) and Gainsbarre (the disgusting, provocative alcoholic drugged wreck) struggled for 12 years - from 1969 when they met until 1981, when Gainsbarre finally took over, definitively.
She could only left. Gainsbarre then went into a self destructing spiral for its last 10 years until he finally died in 1991.
Poor Whitney Houston unfortunately for her ran into the worst side of Gainsbarre, right in the middle of that last binge decade - 1986.
This is no atempt at excusing Gainsbarre, in passing.
Much more funnier...

Oops. Did you know that there are consultancies whose job is to check that the proposed name for a product isn't insulting or embarrassing in a different language? This is why.
As a parallel, apparently 'Fitta' is Swedish slang for... an organ I do not have (clue: I'm male, and I'm only missing my tonsils and a few teeth). Honda tried to sell a car in Sweden under that name. It didn't help that they used taglines such as 'Small on the outside, big on the inside' and 'Use it for your daily pleasure'.
In this case, it's something we've all got.

This doesn't surprises me. Yet, what follows, still happens. I mean, why ?
After reading that I had to clean all the coffee that sprouted of my nose and spread all over my keyboard. Still trying to catch my breath back.
And I swear I've red some similar stuff related to a) the same organ and b) Korean or Japanese language, but I can't find it now. Will check.
I found these little gems...

Product Names That Mean Something Unfortunate In Other Languages.

These classic brand marketing blunders show that globalization isn't always as easy it seems.
Which brand names are unfortunate in other languages?
Answer (1 of 12): Götzen is a German hardware store entered into the Turkish market in 1995. While götzen doesn’t have a specific meaning in Turkish, the first syllable is literally “ass” (as in nether regions) and in its entirety the word sounds like “you are an ass”, especially in combination ...

Well here is three (no, FIVE) very unfortunate examples of cars being ill-named, as as French language is concerned.
Audi E-tron
Renault Koleos
Citroen C4
E-tron is the french polite word for *poo* or *dong* (shit would translate as "caca" or "merde").
Koleos sounds like "collé au" which means "glued to (something)"
I use to joke "Koleos' lip = collé au slip = glued to the underwear "
It also means "testicles" in Greek. Can you believe that ? Balls !
And C4, well, isn't that an explosive ? And thus a bit unfortunate a name, for a car ?
I use to joke that the Citroen C4 sells very well in Corsica and Basque country... (hint: to terrorists there: ETA and FLNC. It's lame, I know...)
Toyota MR2 = merde (just like Audi E-tron !)
And Mitsubishi Pajero = wanker / liar

Ok, so a Spanish family wants to buy two cars. They happen to appreciate japanese cars: so the father goes to Mazda, while the mother visits Mitsubishi. And surely enough, they found and buy cars there.
The father buys a Mazda Laputa (= the whore)
The mother buys a Mitsubishi Pajero (= compulsive wanker)
And they say "Sure dude, those two cars are very complementary. They go along very well. Pajero is perfect, for a mother; laputa perfectly fits a father needs."
Dear God... !
And then they need a third car, and goes to Nissan. They buy a Moco, only to find their poor kid has caught a bad cold. Which unfortunately makes sense: moco in spanish translates as snot or glanders in english.
Talk about an unfortunate spanish family... and, wait, there are more than snot, whore and wanker.
More cars with rather unfortunate names in spanish language.

"stay there i left my gun on the seat" lmao that is hilarous.
I grew up as a die hard Simpsons fan.
My wife saw "It" and also the "Freddy Krueger" movies as a teen - she is a fan of horror-movies - when I could never, ever watch any of the Alien movies. Much less true horror movies.
Then we met and watched that episode together. Me from the Simpsons angle; her, from her "It" movie rememberance.
Needless to say it was a pretty memorable moment and experience. She agreed the spoof was well made. Then she showed me the old "It" movie and I laughed my arse off. 50-50.
Since then it had become a running joke. She can't watch "It" or "Freddy" anymore without myself doing Groundskeeper Willy voice impersonation - when he burns then turns into ashes.

After 9-11-2001 Les Guignols had a couple of memorable sketches. They created a Darth Vader and a Freddy Krueger puppet. The poor things were utterly depressed and now unemployed, this for a simple reason.
"How can we scare people anymore in our movies, after THIS ? the horror scary movie business is dead forever. We can't compete. I, Freddy Krueger, never scared people to such a point in my entire career. And I know what I'm talking about, as a professional of fear and horror, doing that for a living."
And so Darth and Freddy went to castings for romantic movies (WTF?) but then found they were TYPECASTED, for reasons beyond their understanding. ROTFL.

Two guys die and meet St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter says, "I'd like to get you guys in now, but our computer is down. You'll have to go back to Earth for about a week, but you can't go back as who you were, so what else would you like to be?
The first guy says, "I've always wanted to be an eagle, soaring above the Rocky Mountains."
"So be it," says St. Peter, and off the guy flies.
The second guy has been thinking over the idea, and asks, "Will any of this week count toward whether we qualify to get in?"
St. Peter says, "No. Like I told you, the computer is down, so nothing is being recorded."
"In that case," the guy says, "I've always wanted to be a stud."
"So be it," says St. Peter, and the guy disappears.
A week goes by and the computer is fixed. The Lord tells St. Peter to recall the guys. "Will you have any trouble locating them," He asks?
St. Peter replies, "The first guy should be easy to find. He's somewhere over the Rockies, flying with the eagles. The second guy may be more difficult."
"Why is that," the Lord asks?
St. Peter replies, "He's on a snow tire, somewhere in North Dakota."

My buddy gets free room, free board, free laundry and free dental care. He works out two hours a day and has sex three times per day. Finally, he reads two books per week but all he can do is complain about being in prison.
