Samuel L. Jackson (as Nick Fury) Is Not Impressed With Captain France in Winter Soldier International Marketing

Hey, guys, come on, those are some pretty tired stereotypes—what? Oh, this is from a French show called Le Grand Journal? Nevermind, this is awesome self-deprecating humor. Way to go, France. Still, the absolute best part of this is watching Samuel L. Jackson’s reactions. I don’t think he had to dig too deep for the disapproving looks.

Alternately, maybe it’s a satire on how our “Captain” prances around and acts all “American,” and other countries think it looks silly. You sly French comedians, you.

Either way, as a bonus, you can learn to swear in French from Samuel L. Jackson by watching the subtitles.
