Not from France myself (actually from Montreal, Quebec), but still, what’s all this nonsense about emphasizing on them being French/frogs? Would they throw better/worse if they came from US or another country?
You’re right, poussinfrais. This French-hating thing is nonsense. You know, the French refused to join Bush in this fiasco that is Iraq, and so the RNC and Fox News put out the word that the French are (the next) to be hated. French fries became “freedom fries,” and John Kerry was mocked as “looking French.” Unfortunately, an unthinking segment of the American population marches in goosestep.
The anti-French thing is more of a pathological response by the right. They have been cock-blocked for years by all those damned politically correct people and now they have a means of discharging their frustration. Fortunately for the wing-nuts, the stereotypical French person is white and european.
this is obviously heavily edited.watch about a little before midway through the movie, the man throws the coke can into the trashcan right next to him as hes walking away from the camera. the can stops in mid-air and then suddenly changes directions!

this video lacks recycling bins…
I’ve posted this and the second movie they did – which is better – but it includes slowmos of some the first movie – and out takes from the second..
Just goes to show that the frogs are good at something after all
To paraphrase a Dirty Harry line, “If they can all throw like that, I wouldn’t care if the whole damn team was French.”
What the hell did I just watch?
I love the nonchalant looks on their faces after the toss.
A lot of takes (and time!) or ‘clever’ use of fishing line?

It’s a ‘murrican thing. You wouldn’t understand.
Actually I’m a bit of a Francophile (but not enough to actually learn the language) and got a kick out the panache those guys showed.
