It's something like : More there are fools, the more we laugh Yes... you also can do a stupid pun: Plus on est de fous, moins il y a de riz (More there are fools, the less rice there is), which sounds much like the original sentence (Plus on est de fous, plus on rit).

I don't understand The more the merrier, but I guess it means agreed... Plus on est de fous, plus on rit! Could you translate that? My french got a bit (sorry, a lot) rusty... Something ... the more you laugh? It's something like : More there are fools, the more we laugh Well yes, if you translate literally. But it's roughly equivalent in meaning to the more the merrier (see, we've come full circle :-) ). When you translate an expression, it's important to try to keep the same flavor, and not just translate literally.
