You can't ascribe intentionality or purposeful deliberation to the behavior of a Frenchman the way you would with a human. What we're seeing there is more like the kind of mimicry you see in non-poisonous snakes that have bright colourations. A Frenchman doesn't have a model of the world, and beliefs, and intentions, and so on, he just filters social stimuli through a fog of pretension and condescension and says something he thinks is funny. The abstraction known as 'France' was a kind of gigantic emergent process of thousands of Frenchmen mocking each other and wearing successively sillier outfits, the Norman Invasion has to be seen as a kind of ironic party gatecrash.
