Clutched in the death grip of a slow-news holiday weekend seems like the perfect time for some New Wave French beer ads. Right? Right?! Ready or not, here's a toast to hops-slingers Stella Artois for the nifty 8 Mile spoof above. Done up in the style of François Truffaut, this rap throwdown showdown features Monte Carlo gang signs and suave, trash-talking French beatniks? It's the merde, bro.

(Merci and a shout out to our homies hommes at Le Gawquer and Adfrique for hipping us to this badass, beret-wearing scene.)

And there's more. Check out the jump to see 24's Jack Bauer as a blasé, French slacker tasked with saving the world in Vingt-Quatre Heures.
