    There are plenty of dialects in france similar to or worse than Quebecois. Maybe I’m biased, but to me parisian french is the one that sounds bad. In the end it was the accent of the nobility, hence why it sounds so pompous, while Quebecois was the accent of the commoners.

      What’s the point of speaking French unless it’s to sound pompous? There already IS language for the common people, it’s called English, everyone knows that.

        It will always feel so weird to me watching a movie in French french, the villain trying to sound badass or evil but then says something in the parisian accent. It fails everytime, it basically sounds funny. Hell even their insults sound funny for some reason, not in their choice of words but in the delivery.
