FRENCH WAITERS BE LIKE: ONE MOMENT MONSIEUR

What it means

A camera moves across a watery, leafy outdoor scene while a small green turtle-like animal eventually appears. The captions joke that French waiters keep customers waiting by repeatedly saying “One moment, monsieur,” while the jaunty traditional musette music makes the delay feel theatrically cheerful and absurd.
