Louis de Funès was one of France's most beloved comic actors, famous for playing excitable, short-tempered men whose shouting fits became a national trademark. This clip is taken from a fan compilation of his most quoted lines, gathering his cult outbursts in one place. French meme pages and soundboard users pass these rants around as shorthand for comic rage, dropping them under fail videos, gaming clips and everyday frustrations. Because the performance is so physical and expressive, it needs no translation, which is why it keeps circulating years after his films first aired.
