Lauren Cooper has a French oral exam but initially refuses to speak French, repeatedly asking "Am I bovvered?" When her teacher pushes her, Lauren reveals she's actually quite fluent in French and launches into an impressively long rant entirely in French, throwing in references to "Frère Jacques," "un kilo de pomme," and even asking if razors are expensive in "Frenchland." The sketch showcases Catherine Tate's actual fluency in French while perfectly capturing Lauren's bratty character who is smart but pretends not to care. This is one of the most popular Lauren Cooper sketches from the series.
