By season two, when Mindy moves in, this goes into an overdrive.

Not only this completely defeats the purpose of being there, she's clearly uncomfortable with every other female being naked. She also ends uh having sex with Camille's younger brother, Timothée, who is 17. She completely freaks out when finding this out... and is the only character who has any sort of issues with this (not to mention people openly poking fun out of her reaction).

Emily in Paris / int_6b05b601	type	Jerkass Has a Point
Emily in Paris / int_6b05b601	comment	Jerkass Has a Point: In the very first episode, Luc (who had been complicit in mocking Emily) gently but firmly calls Emily out on her arrogance of coming to work for a French firm without speaking a word of French, imposing her ideas on them even though she has zero experience working with luxury brands and expecting people to just go with it. Doug is written as a Hate Sink, but he does bring up the fact that Emily doesn't know a lick of French as a reason why she shouldn't go to Paris. For those who aren't a fan of Emily, it's hard to argue with her basic logic that a marketing firm should try not to offend their consumer base, and not every culture supports Parisian values, regarding the problematic perfume ad. In season 2, Madeline comes to France to review Savoir's work; she is portrayed as the culturally clueless American who is stifling the French staff's creativity and relationships — however, many of the issues she raises (such as Sylvie cutting a deal on fees with a client while having an affair with said client, as well as the staff being unwilling to adhere to the new rules set out by Madeline's company, which is the parent company of Savoir) are actual significant workplace missteps. Subverted when Madeline's heavy-handed means and lack of any care for cultural nuance ends up with Savoir losing clients and employees, essentially leaving her with an empty shell of a company.

Emily in Paris / int_70ade2c4	type	Culture Clash
Emily in Paris / int_70ade2c4	comment	Culture Clash: This is the show's central theme. Emily, who is a young American woman, goes to Paris and finds her attitude and views clash with that of French people's on many things. For instance, she finds an ad which consists solely of a nude woman walking over a bridge problematic (at best) — the French simply don't get what the issue is. She's pretty surprised by how casual Antoine and Sylvie are about having an affair, of which his wife is aware. When her colleagues are told about her firm's "corporate commandments", which include avoiding workplace romances, Luc heatedly accuses her of seeking to "kill their French soul". In addition, they also find a lot of her ideas for marketing too overly crass and unconventional for their tastes. Nonetheless, some like Camille and Gabriel are still charmed by her.

When she arrives to Paris in season 2, she makes it clear to everyone that they can either make things her way, or take the highway, completely disregarding the fact she's no longer in the States nor dealing with Americans. This bites her back to comedic proportions: her clients resent her or end up offended and quit (but not before chewing her out) and then all her employees leave, too, taking said clients with them.

Emily in Paris / int_b32d9d96	comment	"Ugly American" Stereotype: Pretty much every single extra character that's American fits the trope to the T, being either crude, rude or both. And all of them are overweight. Downplayed by Emily, who's generally nice and more ignorant than arrogant. Still, she goes to France not speaking the language, not simply as a tourist but for a job there, while expecting her colleagues will simply conform. Additionally, she tries to impose American values somewhat in the company (this does not go well) and negatively compares some French things with US culture. Season 2 takes it a step further with Madeline, her boss, who in short order drives the company to the ground by being absolutely unable and, more importantly, unwilling to adjust to the local style of doing business.

Emily in Paris / int_d0c13631	comment	Mrs. Robinson: Emily sleeps with Camille's teenage brother, mistaking the French school system of collège for its American meaning, and because Camille announced they'll meet her adult brother but never clarified having two brothers. Fortunately he's 17, so no statutory rape under French law (which has a normal age of consent of 15 years of age, except for adults with authority over the teenager). Madeline hoped young handsome Frenchmen would fall for her, citing French president Emmanuel Macron, who married a former teacher of his who is 25 years his senior, as proof that the French live by this trope. In Season 2, Sylvie has an affair with a young Dutch photographer, who is at one point mistaken for her son by a waitress.

The show eventually revealed Emily is the more plausible twenty-eight but this makes Emily's sleeping with a seventeen year old even more Squick.
