Je veux qu’on me serve en French, calisse!

The French language seems to have become a big concern since the news came out that a journalist got 15 jobs downtown without needing to speak French. Personally, I don’t pay attention to the language I use, the bottom line is communicating and understanding. Too much bad has happened because of the lack of that.
I just read this article [1] which I found pretty funny, even though it’s pretty easy to guess the punch line.
It’s definitely exagerated to show a point, because I never anybody say “Qu’est-ce qu’on fait tonight?” I never heard anybody use the word “tonight” in a French context. And in this sentence, “Calm down Manon, take it easy!”, there is way too much English for a person who is trying to speak French.
It’s an ironic scenario and those two characters are definitely stupid.
