Let Them Eat Cake was a 1999 British comedy series set in 1782 in the Palace of Versailles, as a helpful title card points out every episode, during the reign of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette. Lasting a grand total of one six-episode series in 1999, it starred Jennifer Saunders as the amoral Colombine, Comtesse de Vache, with Dawn French and Adrian Scarborough as her maid Lisette and foppish manservant Bouffant, respectively.Idle and rich, Colombine spends her days cataloging the debaucheries of her fellow palace-mates for blackmail purposes, as she has not herself had the chance to debauch as of late and is always looking for a chance to get in good with the royals. Lisette's job is to keep the Comtesse going all hours of the day, only stepping out to have her own debaucherous relations with various men, noble, soldier, and peasant. Meanwhile, Bouffant's hard work keeps her at the forefront of gaudy French fashion, whether it be a dress or a large battleship-adorned wig appropriate for viewing public royal copulation. Unfortunately, those outside the palace walls are already starting to revolt. | |

The second is when Bouffant's rival Coco Lebiche is executed. Blood sprays out on those aristocratic women. | |

Gratuitous French | |
| Let Them Eat Cake / int_34f8042a | comment |
Gratuitous French: Being a British series set in Versailles, gratuitous French abounds, in particular, where English and French share a word, the French pronunciation is used. However, when anything above the most basic French is used (pour example: cherchez les documents), the Comtesse won't understand it and will require a translation. | |

Costume Porn: Though occasionally bordering on absurd, the aristocrats do wear a lot of fabulous period outfits. | |

Bloody Hilarious | |
| Let Them Eat Cake / int_6023a9bc | comment |
Bloody Hilarious: Twice in the episode "Murder" The first time is when the Comtesse, Lisette, and Bouffant enter the Marquise de Fufu's apartment only to find her brutally murdered. The walls are literally smeared with blood, though the Comtesse's reaction is rather nonchalant. The second is when Bouffant's rival Coco Lebiche is executed. Blood sprays out on those aristocratic women. | |

Fridge Logic | |
| Let Them Eat Cake / int_9dfd7154 | comment |
Fridge Logic: In-universe – Bouffant & Lisette, both wonder how Colombine could have opened so many doors to commit the deed in the episode Murder, refusing to consider that she is innocent of the crime. | |

Really Gets Around: Everyone, more or less, though Lisette deserves a special mention for sleeping with an entire army barracks in one night. | |

Locked Room Mystery | |
| Let Them Eat Cake / int_dcaa8b35 | comment |
Locked Room Mystery: Or a closed room mystery, at least, in the episode "Murder". Colombine must have done the deed, but it would require her to do an impossible task: open (many, many) doors. | |
