The line comes from the French version of Faces of Death, released in French as Face à la Mort, the 1978 exploitation film presented as a documentary about death around the world. Its narrator, pathologist Francis B. Gross, guides viewers through staged and real footage, and the vegetarian remark became a memorable deadpan moment among cult fans. Rediscovered through soundboards and meme edits, the clip survives because its polite, serious tone clashes with the grim subject matter that made the film notorious.
About this sound
French movie clip where Francis B. Gross says he thinks he will become vegetarian after seeing graphic death scenes, used for darkly funny reactions.
This is a short French spoken line delivered in a flat, resigned tone: 'Je crois que je deviendrai végétarien,' meaning 'I think I will become a vegetarian.' The humour comes from the understatement, as if a mild dietary change is the logical response to something deeply disturbing the speaker has just witnessed. It works as a deadpan reaction rather than a punchline, letting the awkward pause and sincere delivery do the work. Creators use it when a scene turns gross, excessive or hard to stomach and a calm comment makes it funnier.
