Maybe the joke is that neither of them can speak French?

One of my greatest skills is that I can convince a non-French speaker that I’m fluent in French - down to inflections and slang - by slurring a sentence of semi-random phonemes in an appropriately Gaelic-sounding way.

Useless skills are the best skills.

I did this with many languages. Spoke Hindi, but convinced people I could speak the other related languages (Telegu, Marathi, etc.) by just saying random things in my little fake accent. Usually ended it with some small “sharp” words (like “tittu”, just sounds “sharp”) to really sell it.
