The french 'the office'
The show's about the kingdom of Britain during the late roman period, Where the king Arthur, at the place of going to war against his bastard of son and all like in the real legend, here he have to make his land work with the dumbasses of the rond table:
- Perceval, who ... got his ways to solve problems
- Lancelot, who want only the good of the kingdom and himself but not the peoples
- Léodagan, king of carmélide, the father of Arthur's wife, Guenièvre, who is more than radical and always complain
- Karadoc, a dunbass
- Bohort, afraid of everything
- the scibe, who is kinda always angry and probably hates his job
There's also Merlin, who here don't know nothing about druidism, the lake lady who is crazy cuz Arthur don't do what the gods wanted, the priest of the new cult (catholisism) etc.
Th show is long of 6 seasons and a movie, the movie which was in the dark rooms in 2021. More the show progress, more we pass from a sitcom like the office for a serious business serie about depression and religons.
The show, by Alexandres Astier, got most of his jokes by the destruction of the 'locutions figées' phrases that all frenchs say without thinking. It's a classic of french humour with 'la cité de la peur de les nuls' (city of fear by the bad at it), les inconnus (the unknowns) and the two OSS117. If you wanna learn french or french humour, this is a must have.

Perceval: C'est pas faux (it's not wrong, used when you didn't understood what the other guy said)
Karadoc: Du passé faisons table en marbre. (the sentence 'du passé faisons table rase' from the communist song 'l'internationnale' can be translated as 'Let's wipe the slate clean' here Karadoc say 'From the past let's make a marble table.')
Anna: Vous êtes une gigantesque tarlouze. (you're a gigantic gay - in french the term 'tarlouze' was an homophobic insult but is now just mean 'scared of everything')
Arthur: généralement je réponds merde ça marche avec tout (generally I say 'shit' it works with everything)
Cryda de Tintagel: Attention, j’ai rien contre les bouseux... D’habitude je mange pas avec, c’est tout. (Wait, I don't tink anything wrong with the plebians... I just don't eat with them, that's all.)
Léodagan: Sans vouloir la ramener, la seule différence concrète avec des briques, c'est que vous appelez ça des tartes ! (without wanting to being a prick, but the only difference with brics, it's that you call this cake)
Perceval: Le fenouille est une arme redondante ( Fennel is a redundant weapon)
Random guy: MAIS C'EST QUOI CETTE CAMELOTTE? -Artur: Le chateau de Kamelott ( BUT WHAT IS THIS SHIET? The castle of Kamelott - in french 'camelotte' and 'kamelott' got the same prononciation)
not a quote but don't care:
Someone: Kaamelott? that's not the sitcom with the guy saying that all the person who killed themself are Jesus? (spoiler sorry)

A celtic nation in europe. Well mostly, it's a region, composed of 5 departments in France, that seek independance since the first wold war, a french scotland if you want
The peoples are the bretons, in the home language it's called 'breizh' and in french 'bretagne'
The flag is the 'gwen ha du' (black and white) which is, to grossly simplify, a american flag with only black and white and 9 hermines at the places of the stars.
The bretons are famous for liking very lot butter (especially the 'salted butter') as a point where they can be drunk with it, the bretons also realy like drinking, and bragging about their celtic heritage. It's always rainy, if you wanted to know, like england (funny cuz in french britain is called 'grande bretagne' the 'great brittany')
oh and acording to french the bretons are on their way to take over the world, maybe true after all we've seen a fest noz (a breton cultural dancing party) in China.

Brittany is a proud celtic country, with ireland, scotland, wales and cornwall.
It's always fucking rainy out there, are you sure you want to go to Brittany?

Nickname gave to Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany in the BBC's rap "The cause of World War One! Origins: Rap Battle | WW1 Uncut - BBC" by king Georges V of Great Britain, today it's sometime used as a reference/joke in history meme circles, along with the German war dance of the same song, by the way the account of the same name is the 3rd most liked comment of this video.
Kaiser Wilhelm II: Still proud of my german war dance 108 years later
Georges V: Chill out cousin Willy, stop acting so silly, you be trippin' by flippin' the bird willy-nilly

Abbreviation for the European Union, one of the biggest steps towards peace on the European continent. It is one of the richest regions in the world, after the United States. It is also a very diverse region, full of lovely people and languages.
Although some people criticise the inefficiency of political discussions in Brussels (the capital of the EU, also Belgium and NATO), they often forget that the US was the same way when it started. But yes, it is mostly the Franco-German couple who speak and the others who obey..... Except at the UN where EU representatives cannot speak with one voice (when they do it is a proof of devastating strength). It has also faced crises, such as immigrants during the Arab Spring, the Brexit (by the way, the UK is in trouble because of it, they became poor and Northern Ireland wants to leave). So we can sum up the situation as follows: good idea but not enough political strength.

The EU flag and hymn are super cool, but their gestion of the crisis was kinda lame....
The EU is not a bad idea, but in practise... hope they'll find how to see in the same way.
