YMMV / French Baguette Intelligence

• Alternative Character Interpretation:
  • Is Bowl genuinely as bigoted as he appears, or does he feign it as an elaborate joke?
    • In the overpopulation video, Bowl claims that the purpose of his bigotry is to annoy Faux Cares, and that he isn't as bigoted with others. For example, for all his Patriotic Fervor he puts against F.C., Bowl hates London's traffic jams. The fact he tells this to Cleophoebs, who has a good load of Belligerent Sexual Tension with F.C., helps Bowl's claim. So does Bowl's Enemy Mine with F.C. against Volkeh.
  • Are Harry's views really as extreme as they appear to be, or does he merely pose as an extremist for the purpose of exposing hypocrisy in other people's arguments?
    • It is explained in Should You Be Loved Or Feared - Machiavelli that Harry's beliefs are in fact his honest views, and it is suggested that others' perception of them as evil is only due to people's reluctance to accept novelty in others' opinions.
      Mr. E: Harry was denied a life of dignity after he was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. He's known nothing but antagonism from his family and teachers, who recognize how capable he is when they want to exploit it, but when it comes to his own interests they pretend he can't figure out what's 2+2.
      This is because they're afraid of recognizing that he is more competent than them.
      Many also speak of him as if he were a mad psychopath, when he's actually a very good man with a very caring heart. His beliefs are not the twisted evils people think they are; it's just that most people are too afraid of novelty to even listen to him.
      Harry is a good example of a man who is generally feared even though he's done nothing wrong.
• Awesome Music: Courtesy of Ace Attorney. The score has been praised by several viewers, especially the tracks that are not on Objection.lol by default.
• Bizarro Episode: Unlike most episodes, which usually about the discussion of concepts and have an element of seriousness to them, Twitter Bios Are Coded Messages is a facetious discussion of a random Twitter bio and how it is a coded message regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Broken Base: In Auschwitz, racist? PROOF!, did Bowl cross a line by doubling down on a Holocaust joke to the descendant of a Holocaust victim? Or did he get rudely interrupted by someone who didn't get the joke (and never even knew her ancestor to begin with), and then respond appropriately by crossing it twice? Or both? FC evidently thinks the second, citing his Dark Humor video in the comments.
  • Designated Villain: Lulaps in said video. Even if she was just interrupting a joke she didn't understand, many viewers still feel guilty for laughing at Bowl's comeback. She did seem genuinely upset, yet in the comments FC depicts her as intrusive and rude.
• Crosses the Line Twice: Let's be real here, practically most of what Bowl says is this.
  • Also, practically everything that comes out of Volkeh's mouth, specially because unlike Bowl or Harry, he's most probably being unironic in what he says.
• Heartwarming Moments:
  • "My girlfriend dressed up as the medusa from greek mytolohthology. I went to the pargtyh stoned because I am alwsys looking into the eyes of my beautiful dearly darly doo dee doo dee dooe dooe dooe dooe dedo eedoo edseoo" - Even drunk, it is plain to see how much Goblin Tyrant truly loves his girlfriend.
  • In many of the interactions between Faux Cares and Cleophoebs, you can't help but go "Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other!"
    • The fact that Bowl, who claims he exists to annoy Faux Cares, supports F.C.'s relationship with Cleo.
• Love to Hate: Volkeh. Fans can get pretty exited when they hear he's showing up in a future video, not because they like him, but because they want to see what batshit things he'll say next and how FC will react.
• Memetic Badass/Memetic Psychopath: In the comment section of the videos, Harry is often portrayed as a James Bond-esque supervillain, a serial killer, Senator Armstrong, the real-life incarnation of Manfred von Karma himself, or a being of godlike power.
• Nightmare Fuel: The infamous rant at the end of Science vs Ethics Debate, which while censored, doesn't seem any less terrifying as creepy music plays, a disturbing background is shown and Harry stands there staring and grinning at the camera while the text explains that the rant was so controversial, immoral and extreme, that it had to be cut from a video in which Harry advocates for experimenting on prisoners.
• Poe's Law: According to Fuck Cares himself, Apology Video Gets Me Cancelled is a parody of YouTube parody videos and isn't supposed to be taken seriously. This hasn't stopped many commenters from asking why he is apologising.
• Signature Line: "Absolutely no one would want to cuddle with an avatar that looks like a castrated Pinocchio made out of marshmallows soaked in soy."
• Signature Scene: The entire ending of Science vs Ethics Debate, starting from Harry's censored rant.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: The editing of French Baguette Intelligence's later videos has been praised by many viewers. A notable example of this is the animation of Manfred von Karma with a revolver in Vegan Cannibalism is the Future, which has become the subject of several memes.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not Didactic?: Harry's reaction to the claim that the Twitter bio is a coded message. He believes that the others are reading too deeply into a random bio that he doesn't think has a deeper meaning.
