Haha, love the Coneheads reference! I guess some might see the US as a bit quirky or over-the-top, just like that. Makes me wonder what other stereotypes are floating around out there about Americans in France.
When I was growing up. the impression I had of how France sees USA was positive. By the time I finished school, the impression had changed to The Ugly (and Loud) American we've been seeing in movies for a while.
That's interesting how perceptions shifted over time. I’ve heard the "loud American" stereotype too, especially in movies. Wonder if it’s more about cultural differences or just Hollywood exaggeration.
