Well I guess I was just trying to show that the French barely pronounce the R. It’s very soft at best and English speakers often hear it as more of a “kwa” or like “quoi” is pronounced (or like, maybe “cwah” if you like a hard C in your drink.)
The phonetic pronunciation in French is: [kʁwasɑ̃] (if that doesn’t come through, look at Wikipedia
The ʁ (upside down R) is guttural or uvular, and in some pronunciation guides it can even be dropped.
Anyways, you seem upset at their butchering of the pronunciation guide they’re giving to show how badly they butcher their imitation of how the French pronounce croissant (there’s no hard T at the end, for example) and I think that makes this particularly funny.

I’m just struggling to decipher what the joke in OP’s picture actually means.
