- Emily in paris reaction Is Paris that perfect? Today I will be reacting to the Netflix series Emily in Paris. As a Parisian, a fashion marketing executive and influencer, I think my reaction to emily in paris will give a reality check on all the french stereotypes and a real point of view on what life is really like in Paris.
This reaction to Emily in Paris will help you see the real Paris, but what about the french culture are those french stereotypes portrayed in emily in Paris real ? I share my point of view and my own experience of moving and living in Paris and react to the experience of Emily, the all american girl living in paris…

#emilyinparis #paris #reaction
you're the version of emily that I WISH the show would have had!!
100% agree!!
You're too kind ❤️❤️
❤️
Perhaps American storytellers took the "you're the hero of your own story" a little too far...
They really did...
I think the viewers took the series too seriously. It was written to be unrealistic and unaware, it’s created by Darren Star
I’m American and I would never talk to my boss the way she did😬
Right!? like I get it's a series but it was a bit cringy to watch that part! 😬
I’ve been with my company for 20yrs and I would NEVER interrupt my boss to ask if he/she wanted to go to lunch. Your boss asks you. You don’t ask the boss. She’s so rude.
Agreed!
I live in Canada and we don't do that here. My boss is extremely casual but we still don't do that. There are certain times where you can ask personal questions or ask if they want to go to lunch etc. Usually it's if they're away from their desk in common areas like the coat room, lunch room etc, or if they're just arriving or just leaving. Otherwise we let them approach us and then we bring up questions like that if they're not pressed for time or stressed.
Much of Emily's behaviour is intrusive as if demanding attention which is why she comes off as rude.
I remember my chambre de bonne when I lived in Paris for a year: it was the size of a shoebox and I had to share a toilet (luckily not a shower) with my neighbours BUT I got to see the Eiffel Tower sparkle every night. :)
The eiffel tower makes it all WORTH IT! ✨ I see her every night now too!
The costumer not always has the right but Americans usually think they do, so when I saw that show I felt I was watching Karen in Paris
Omg... I’m calling it Karen in Paris from now on 🤯
hahahahahahahahaha 💀
Same!! I'm like, "Oh, boy she's a Karen in training!" Hahaha. 😁
😂 because you were. The creator was Darren Star, not a serious writer. He deliberately writes things that are ridiculous and unrealistic. Few seem to understand that. I’m not saying it’s a good show, I’m saying it’s not a show to take seriously or compare to real life.
Emily is very conceited and a bad friend at that. She does feel as if the American way or her way is the best. And the outfits.... 😬
The outfits are a disgrace 😖
The weird thing is not that they work later in france, it's that she doesn't ask when they start, she just comes when she thinks it's right, then tells her boss and coworkers that they shouldn't be late. She is rude and disrespectful to everyone, then they are rude to her, because they are french.
E 👏 XAC 👏 TLY 👏
It’s not a serious portrayal of reality at all
If they portrayed the French as nice, it would be too obvious how rude and ignorant Emily is. The American has to be the wonderful one.
Right!? so tired of this narrative 🙄
I think anyone who falls for the “American has to be wonderfu/is the hero” trope in this show, is probably quite lacking in ironic humor (it doesn’t matter what the writers intended to me, it matters what I interpret, and I interpreted the show as a joke whereas some chose to take it rather seriously, yikes)
We do grow up with a lot of American tv shows and English music. But most of those tv show are dubbed in French. Even if it's easier now to get the OG versions. But that's not how she learned English. The way she speaks she spend some time in an English speaking country. There are still a lot of people that do not speak English in France, so if you approach them and only speak English to them , they get flustered and go away, I don't think most of them are intentionally rude.
I totally agree with you! Stereotypes are bliss unfortunately! Take good care of you :)
i honestly binged watched the show just for the reason that the setup is Paris, and because I love a good romance/drama/fun show. But after finishing it and looking back i definitely don't like the way they portrayed France and its citizens and just the whole america (usa) is so much better point of view! so i also wished they would have made it more educational on french society, but i guess they were trying to be funny ? anyway, me encantó el video y ver tu reacción teniendo en cuenta que vives ahí :) lots of love
Agreed 100% ❤️ very unecessary for both cultures! thanks for watching love! lindo día 🌟
It’s created by Darren Star, it was never going to be educational. That’s like saying we are disappointed because sex and the city wasnt sex education. Manage expectations and don’t take a fantasy seriously :)
You know my language also has feminine and masculine words and I hate it but if a person from the US came to me and told me what Emily just say to her boss I would be so mad
Me tooooo! 🙄
I'm a foreigner here (not American) and I worked in many different companies and NO, never ever in any company you do not have to bring in pastries on the first day. Actually people can bring them any day or their last day.
Cool, so first or last day 😉 what I was trying to share was a real life thing that they could have used, instead of just beating negative clichés to death 😉
I can see you're in marketing because you managed to start the video with a nice shoutout to Netflix and be as fair as possible to this show. But you got me by being spot-on accurate with so many things that are wrong with it (thank you so much for pointing out how worthy-of-being-fired rude Emily is on the job). And your face at 26:07 made me pause and subscribe.
With this video you may have undone the damage that Emily in Paris made to my perception of marketing people. Merci!
Thank you so much for this comment! ❣️ and thank you for watching, honestly the more I watched this show the more I see why people may not have the best perception of "marketing people" specially now in the era of social media. But I'm so happy I was able to vindicate us a little 😘
Ha. Love all these “a French person reacts to Emily in Paris” videos. It’s interesting though I was less focused on the French stereotypes and inaccuracies and more on all the things they got wrong about being a marketer. Especially for someone with her entry level experience.
Separately, as an American, I will say it’s not unrealistic to just pop into ur boss’ office for a question or chat. Tho u usually wouldn’t ask ur boss out to lunch unless you had a problem to chat through. Sometimes they’ll invite u for a casual lunch in less formal organizations. But usually they’re eating with their peers or working through lunch.
omg same, I'm in fashion marketing so it was hard to watch 😂
Pal, the lady in the video is not French. Look around, it's not just French people who found this show offensive.
Also, good for you that in your country your companies work like that, but in Europe we think that doors exist for knocking, and that it's good form to say hello when you see someone in the morning, especially when you're dealing with a person in a higher position, not to mention older than you. And, you might have noticed, Emily is not in the US, she is in France. Of course she may make mistakes, but if you look at the show it's obvious it never dawns on her that she might be breaking social rules, no, it's the French who are crazy and rude and mean. So, word of advice, when you go work abroad you make the effort to check yourself before you judge.
So the show doesn't even get the American culture right either. It seems that every single thing in this show is inaccurate. I guess they just threw stuff together to try and make it "entertaining", but it just comes across as totally cringe worthy and annoying.
@@elipotter369 exactly. I find it offensive to Americans as well. At least, to the ones who realise how bad it paints them.
@@pirimpallopirimpalli4932 True. Her character does paint a bad picture about Americans as well.
I agree with you in sooo many things and other people also mentioned, I work in fashion as well and the first thing my colleagues and I talked about was how she was able to afford all the designer pieces, she genuinely has limited edition Chanel and Gucci... makes no sense, of course she could have a back story but for this story it makes no sense haha
none at all! you would have to spend all your income to dress for 1 day! hahah
I'm working as a customer support for an Airbnb Superhost for almost 2 years now and encountered so many rude guests. My boss firmly believes that customers aren't always right and even allow us to fight one rude guest a month. 😅
I work at a service desk and my team leader fights the rudest and neediest customers. an absolute hero :D
I know this isn’t what you meant, but I pictured you just brawling rude guests.
hahaha you have a great boss!
Thank you so much for watching! ❤️ What did you think of Emily in Paris, unrealistic or dreamy?
mostly unrealistic and not dreamy enough in a way that could've made it good ;)
@@OpqHMg Agreed! 😘
I'm French, and you say "pain au chocolat" so perfectly! :D
You're right, they are the best thing ever
Right?! they totallly are and thnak you, it makes me feel better about my accent 😆
My French friend was very positive. She was so out there and had the best fashion sense. She was really friendly and other girls hated her so much. She was a gem
There are some true gems for sure! ❣️
wawawawawait ! so your boss was trying to be nice with you on your first encounter, asking how was the trip and how you set up in you new apartment and all you have to reply is complaining she didn't say hello because that's the only word you get and expected ? that's litterally what she was doing ! being polite and interested. of course she'll be rude to you afterwards.
is this show like a book of "don'ts" for american people coming in france ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Agreed!
Having worked in both retail and hospitality, I would say 90% of the customers are wrong and I have to commend the french attitude to not giving a fuck 😂 obviously it should be corrected when the customer is actually right but there is so much entitlement with customers.
I completely agree with you. Plus, she seems to be in the wrong here?
I havent watched the show myself, but a medium steak should be red in the middle and slightly bloody when pressed (at least thats the standard in Spain).
Seems like she wanted a well done one, didnt know what she was ordering then was rude to the staff(?) 😐 Big karen energy.
Interesting point of view, some customers are just straight up entitled so yeah you can't blame the french for just not giving an f anymore lol 😁
Loved this! Have to watch it now!
It's a fun watch! 😉
I totally get the unrealism of the story in the show and how impossible it would be to get Emily’s job in Paris without speaking French but they actually did a good job in the series in explaining why she was in the position she was in. The Chicago company owned the Paris office and could therefore dictate to them to take on Emily as they wanted to infuse an American perspective into their social media.
Agreed, but yeah the unrealism is a bit too on the nose for me 😬 but it was fun to watch for a couple of episodes!
Sure, but then how come the boss lady can fire her? It's a semi plot-point that is dropped with a bullshit cliché as well later on in the series. The script is all over the place and riddled with plot holes.
As far as Emily getting the job, her boss had gotten the job but changed her mind when she found out she was pregnant so she gave it to Emily. Which that's still not how it works but 🤷♀️
You know, as soon as I saw the rooftops by you window I though "Hmmmm ... looks French" XD.
As a French person myself, it was nice to hear your take on that show, thanks for sharing :)
of course haha! happy to share 💕
I'm suffering from second-hand embarrassment and I'm a New Yorker. We are supposedly the meanest people in America but damn. They took the mean French people stereotype too far.
Well this is something g most people complain about so why sugar outed French will gladeolt take us money and behave mannerless . For tge country that prides themselves of being so well elegant is pretty funny. Americans are much better to get along with and US us million times more interesting g than France
americans think that kindness is smiling the french think that it is paying taxes to treat everyone, educating everyone for free and giving help to people who have less luck in life. two ways of seeing it.
Believe it or not, it took me over a DECADE in Paris to begin enjoying it. If you're poor, you'll probably live in a neighbourhood that's NOT nice, you'll spend hours per day in the metro, you'll find Paris unaffordable and stressful. And if your life improves, you'll probably go live in the suburbs to find a decent apartment because Paris is a city for millionaires! 😊
Wauwwww yo me vi la serie completa,pero ahora que veo este video desde tu perspectiva es como..wow😳
Me encanto el video🤩
Que bueno haberte podido dar una perspectiva diferente ☺️ gracias por venir!
Good god, I can't thank you enough for this video. I was so frustrated when I binged watched it :) Stereotypes are bliss unfortunately...
unfortunately yes plus they sell more! but 2021 seems like a good time to turn things around 😉
The actress that plays Emily (Lily Collins) I heard is very nice and polite. They should just try to use her to influence the character more.
Daughter of Phil Collins - she grew up wealthier than anyone could ever imagine.
She s actually one of the producers of the show
@@SurpriseMeJT except perhaps Stella McCartney. 🤣
For sure! Emily could be just a bit nicer :)
¡Wow que buen video aprendí mucho! Soy mega FAN de Emily in PARIS!!!!!
Can I just add that the writers not only know nothing about Paris but they also know nothing about Chicago. There are ton of buildings in Chicago that have the firs level as Ground floor or Lobby and the next floor up is 1st floor. So the fact that a girl from Chicago would act like she has never seen a 1st floor that’s on top of the ground floor is not realistic.
😂😂😅 Loved it!
Have you watched it, what did you think of it? ☺️
Interesting review, especially about how the character Emily is actually rude. I did enjoy the show, but it is so true. Also it is not wrong the French are not especially positive. Finally regarding "the customer is always right", just to say it out loud is even kinda rude in France. So it is true as well.
agreed!
You're so beautiful 😻❣️
Thank you love ♥️ you’re so kind!
What irritates me is the whole american point of view... ok the clichés can exist and can be real (it's very exagerated in this show, but ok)... but I hate Emily, she is so condescending.
And why would they think that a luxury french business needs an american point of view ? I agree with hiring young people to bring fresh ideas and make agencies and companies more modern but like you said, they already know they have to keep up (or the bussiness dies) so they are usually already modern ideas etc... escpially in 2020/2021 lol. AND to think that an american would know better when they could hire french people to do the same job (who know the language and the culture), Emily has no value (as a junior). i'm not saying she sucks at her job but just that it wouldn't make sense to put her there
Couldn't agree more!
Hola Angela! Recién te conozco, estuve mirando tus videos :) Piensas hacer más videos en español sobre tu vida en Francia? Me subscribí!
Holiii :) gracias por suscribirte! la mayoría de mi audiencia es de Europa y US por eso hago ahora mis videos en inglés pero tal vez haga algunos en Español en el futuro 😁 aunque siempre me aseguro que mis videos tengan subtitulos los que puedes traducir al Español 😘
Hey I found you through youtube and I wanted to ask how did you learn French - did it take a long time , did you need extra lessons , please help me out I'm trying to learn French and live there💖💖
Hi there 😁 I actually studied French for a summer here in France and was forced to learn it mostly by living in France and looking for a job and following classes so... I'd recommend some lessons, specially for the writing, and that you immerse yourself in French music, movies etc to start developping your ear, hope that helps!
@@Fancyandparis thank you for the advise 😃
I really don’t like the tv show because it butchers French culture to boost the American ego 😂
Also if you want to meet positive French people, definitely go to the south of France 😂
@@HotEatTheFood that’s on my bucket list. Although I want to see Paris, I also want to spend time in the south of France.
Puedes hacer un día de tu vida? Para comparar esos aspectos 🤔 sería divertido
Super idéa, lo haré! 😁 gracias!
The boss coming late is great thing, you can be late a little bit with no consequences
Look, I'm going to say it. I only watched this because the neighbour was so handsome! 🔥 I would be banging on the door as an excuse to talk to him.
guess I'm the only one who has been to Paris twice and has never used the metro. the first time it was a school trip and we had our own bus, and the second time I hitchhiked and wanted to save money so just walked everywehere :D
What!? haha you're not missing that much don't worry 😁
"The lion, the witch, and the audacity of this bitch"~
Ok I'm all set to move to a Chambre de Bonne in Paris. I don't care if it's the size of a shoe box.
Good attitude! I live in one for 3 years and it was not that bad at all :)
@@Fancyandparis Haha, well when I was in the military I had to share a shoe box with six other people. So it's not a big deal to me in the first place 😆
Hey, you linked your own video in the bio
Hi, thank you for the feedback :) yes I did, it's an SEO thing 😁
French boys are the best omg xdxd
This show also gives a bad impression of American women tbh. I was born and raised in Texas and both side of my family are immigrants. My mom's side is also Filipino and my dad's side is European and Mexican. I was raised to have manners and I don't think I ever came across a person that wouldn't knock before stepping into their boss's office. Maybe things are different in Texas than other places in the US but to my knowledge and experience most Americans are nice and forgiving. Sometimes you might catch us on a bad day the same way you would be with a French person but I wouldn't treat an isolated incident like that and then generalize and pass judgment on a whole group of people because of one bad experience.
Emily in Paris came onto my CZcams feed because I am interested in French culture and I thought it was going to be fun and I would learn something. But it is not entertaining at all - it's so unrealistic, bad mannered and ugly.
anyhow it kinda sucks if everyone would have lunch excluding me but why would they include me on the first place? especially if im rude?
Agreed!
Some French people speak of Americans badly ; that they are loud and eat poorly. Of course it hurts if you are not that way to hear that. Basically movies are not real. Of course not all the French are the same and all Americans are not the same. Paris is also not France as NYC is not all the USA.
Bringing pastries for EVERYONE on the first day?
I usually thought of this as for the last day, maybe birthday or before your wedding, but first day?
If the company is bigger, it would cost. A lot. And some people have a gap between jobs, they might be barely making the ends meet at the time. Then it might turn out that this person is on diet, that person is gluten/lactose intolerant, another one cuts off sugar etc. and you end with wasted food, unless it's ok for the "bringer" to take it home if it's not consumed.
Not hating, just my thoughts on it
sure, also true ☺️
I mean yeah is that have some Negative and pastive
Is this like Sex in the City but in Paris Version with a bunch of American housewife's perspective of Parisian (NO THE WHOLE FRANCE) is like?
Pls amp up the volume in ur video because I can't hear anything :(
Thanks for the feedback love, I have resolved that on my more recent videos 💕
Maybe it’s hard to film in the metro 🤷🏾♀️
Maybe 😅
But they could have gone to some of the really quiet stations; I know that some of the ones in the 16th are very dead. The metro’s featured a lot in film/ tv, so I don’t buy it. I think, the creators behind Emily in Paris just weren’t Parisians and thus, for some bizarre reason chose not to show it. I know in London that filming often takes place in an abandoned Tube station; I can’t see why this couldn’t have happened with Emily.
@@evimbourger I’ve seen a TON of scenes filmed in Tube stations on BBC America.
I just looked up the Margiela Tabi boots and they range from $500-$1000! Those are the ugliest things I have ever seen! They take 'WhAt aRe tHosE?!' To a whole new level! 👢👀
And when she complains about the gendered words, 'why is this word masculine but this word feminine-' because it just is, Emily! Stop over analyzing and just learn the language of the country you are living in! We are begging you! 🙏🏽 I want to see season 2 just to see if she learns French or not. 🇫🇷 I'm planning on moving to France in 3-4 years and I'm starting to learn now! It is the hardest language I've come across but I'm going to keep trying lest I sound like Emily! 🥐
I feel like maybe they're speaking English cuz she's so OBVIOUSLY an American 😂
19:15 yo tenia la duda de las relaciones con los franceses, proque si tenía entendido que eran muy romanticos, pasionales y asi y como ligeros en el tema de relaciones, osea que no eran monogamos, pues....bueno saber como son con las relaciones romanticas
La verdad para nada, en mi opinion los latinos son mucho mas apasionados, los Franceses son mas despreocupados, son mas calmados pero en mi opinion no son especialmente románticos 🤔
I'm from Poland, so obviously not Paris, but also Europe. What pisses me off the most: "I'm bRiNgInG aMeRiCaN pOiNt Of ViEw". Like, seriously? Who do you think you are, Emily? Do you really think that USA is the only place (if at all) that is feminist, accepting, caring, modern? Like, what the hell, Emily?
That's the point of the show, I think. A clueless American in Paris.
"The customer is always right" is such an entitled way of thinking. I quite appreciate French people for not following that. It probably comes form the fact that, businesses that go by "the customer is always right" are gonna adapt to what clients want (it's more money efficient to give people what they want), yet the business that don't go by that, have a real integrity to their Brand, to their craftmanship ....probably like French chefs. Now, having said all that, I have not been to France and I don't know if it's that attitude from honoring the services they offer, or if it goes into being rude.
.
You can see this in how personalized orders are in the US when going out to eat, but I totally get that not being 'normal' (well, I am European). If you go to a restaurant you go to eat what they have to offer, they are not your private chefs. And if you don't like it, it's not something they should do about it, you should not go there anymore.
Btw, Emily's attitude with the steak ....horribly entitled. :)))
Well she has no experience for the job she has come all the way to France. On top of that she is annoying and over step her boundaries. So I get why they hate her.
Hate is strong, but agreed lol 😁
@@Fancyandparis well she has gone far from dislike lane. Now she is in hate lane. That's how awful she is.
The main Language ig business is English top executive from States do not bother to learn French . It is is less unless you want to . That the the French have a problem to learn English is their problem that is why they are not business power US is .
dude, if you have problems with English, write with google translator. Or with a dictionary. It's hard to understand you.
WHAT! - Next you're going to tell me that Ugly Betty wasn't a true depiction of the New York fashion magazine industry. 😄
the difference there would be that Betty was very nice, worked hard and even though she started out not knowing about the industry she was eager to learn and improve.
so everything Emily isn't as she didn't even bother to improve her French just a bit and the only reason she wasn't fired many times was because the writers were lazy and had to beat everyone up with the worthless 'the USA is better than anyone else' trope.
ah, I miss Ugly Betty a lot, I had such fun watching this show.
Actually Ugly Betty is originally a Proudly Colombian telenovela, so I never watched the US version of it so I wouldn't know :)
@@Fancyandparis well... the American version was much, much better.😑
Just kidding! 😁 I've heard about the version you are talking about and have always wanted to see it, just to see how the two shows differ from one another.
I think they were both pretty popular?
Well, if americans film black Anna Boleyn, so I'm not surprised they replace French realities and fill their series with false stereotypes. Disgusting.
Emily looks like she overestimates herself a little
Personally I like her outfits, but it doesn't fit her character.
Agreed, I feel like they're trying to hard to make her seem a certain way 🤔
Subtitling is full of mistakes !!!
But imagine if this show was realistic - it would be boring! There wouldn’t be a conversation, no example of what not to do and what’s not applied - what not to do! No shade to you but you wouldn’t be making content.
Good point 🤔 😘
@@Fancyandparis all love to you, it was a great video but people/audiences love something to confront ❤️
@@Darlingreed64 thanks love! honestly I agree with you, if there was nothing problematic or that didn't make sense we probably wouldn't be talking about it so much! I think we love to hate it 😂
there's unrealistic and then there's so stereotyped there's nothing really interesting about it aside from its faults (including how the heroine can get away with being this rude to everyone)
I found this reaction so rude as well to be honest. Your accent, mannerism, way of thinking are off putting
