"No, this is--" damn, I guess that doesn't work here 🤔
Non, ceci n'est pas une pipe.
Ceci n'est pas un Patrique
Non, c'est ... Yeah, you're right.
Sir, this is the Chum Bucket.
I grew up with all French comics and cartoons, and it's so weird watching native englishers call like Tintin's dog "Snowy" or call Tintin "Tintin" for that matter.
This you?
Wrong generation but yes 😭
Is Tintin not called Tintin??? I am a bit confused about the latter
/tɛ̃tɛ̃/
Take a look at the trailer for Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin (a delightful movie, even though I had a really hard time getting used to these characters speaking English) and listen to the way Tintin pronounces his own name in English:

I can only assume that the way he says it in the movie is the normal way it's said in English and indeed, that sounds weird.

I'll do you one better, in German it's "Tim" and "Struppi" (akin to "struppig": ragged or unkempt).
They really just looked at ”Tintin" and decided that "Tim" is basically the same
In Danish the dog's called "Terry" (probably because the translator considered that a cute name for a terrier) and has his profession (🤔) listed as "Astronaut, seaman" on Danish Wikipedia 😄

You know what they call a Krabby Patty in Paris?
Un royal avec du fromage
Royal avec du fromage! What do they call a Whopper?
Its still called a whopper but its pronounced "wah-pay" 🤣🤣🤣 (silly joke)
I dunno, I didnt go to burger king!
Un crap paté?
Close enough! It's "pâté de crabe"!
It’s interesting how (for me, at least) “krabby patty” never evoked the idea that Mr Krabs is a cannibal, but somehow the phrase “pâté de crabe” makes that idea inescapable.
The restaurant is also built around a massive crab-trap.
I don't get it. According to Wikipedia, Patrick Star is simply named Patrick Étoile in French. What's up with Patrique here!?
French accent likely makes it sound like Patrique for OP?
This was probably the intend, but it's funny because both versions of the name (Patrique exists as well, although less popular) are pronounced the same anyway.

because it's pronounced as Patrique. Or did you think they use an American English accent just for the names? https://youtu.be/RKvMCCSPZnw?t=1460
Or did you think they use an American English accent just for the names?
In the German dub, they did just that
because it’s pronounced as Patrique.
What does that even mean? There's no difference in pronounciation whatsoever between Patrick and Patrique, which the video you linked to clearly demonstrates.
I figure it's just in order to sound french
I'm imagining a child speaking French to his maman then out of nowhere a perfect American English pronunciation of "Patrick".
People lie on the internet for attention
What the actual fuck
Oh!...I get it now, Patrick the starfish
Star fish, startrek, patrick it's all connected

I love how it's the "-que" which has the very french spelling, but it was probably the "r" that contained the heavy french accent.
Thought is was going to ba about "a fuck" (un phoque)

It took me embarrassingly long to get this, I thought it was a joke about a mom's affair partner out in public
