My biggest problem with Barbet is the way our commentator on the offy stream tries to pronounce his name in a French accent clearly without being able to speak in anything remotely resembling a French accent. It's grim and sends a shudder down my spine every time i hear it.

Glad I'm not the only person that gets wound up by that.

Wish he would stop saying “Dickie rises” / “[Dykes] receives from Dickie” / “Dickie squirts it over the half way line” etc. It’s like carry on commentating.

I can ignore his little idiosyncrasies as at least he tells you who is on the ball and isn't afraid to correct himself when he gets things wrong. He is trying to commentate for video stream and a separate audio one at the same time, which I guess is quite tricky.
I missed him and Andy when we had to listen to the dreadful Sky coverage for the Coventry game, when I didn't know which player had the ball most of the time and I was watching on a reasonable size TV.

Barbet is firmly in the light slapstick tradition of Bean, Tati, Clouseau so the extra rolled rrrrrrs on the comms are a superbly absurd extra Allo Allo embellishment I feel.
