Tête-à-claque
« on: May 20, 2007, 06:26:07 pm »
It's been the rage in Québec and all of french Canada for nearly a year, but I've just recently been introduced to these VERY funny snippets, some of em make fun of "available only on TV offers", while others are just funny skits.

Yes they're in french, but with so many english words in there, ya might even get hooked on it in spite a yer lack of french knowledge.

Give em a try. Recommend the #1 and #3 most popular skits, "Le Willi Waller" and "Le Body Toner" for those with limited french (canadian accent) knowledge.

Here's the link and enjoy:

Folks - you gotta try this. The most recent têtes-à-claque is Soooo funny!. It's called 'Paris' and it has a québécois couple visiting Paris.

To help understand remember this: 'mes gosses' in France means 'my kids' (my children), whereas in Canadian french it means 'my balls'

Give it a try!

Hi Roland!

Just saw your thread here, and yes I've seen their sketches! They've been all the rage in France too for the past few months (well, among the more educated people only, unfortunately), and they are hilarious!!

Not as funny (in my opinion) as 'the secretary'. En francais there are now about 40 titles. "On demenage" is my favourite amoung the most popular (and appears to be the #1 by vote) though there's one about visiting Paris that just slays me.

I still liked the Pilots better but the Secretary is a CLOSE second..."Do you have any experience?"  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

There's a part 2 to the pilots (and possibly a part 3 - I'm not sure) en francais. They too should get reworked translated eventually.

Thank you, Roland!

"Les douanes."

All the times I went to Montreal, why is it (on my flight back to New York from Dorval--then later, Trudeau) I never got a hot US customs inspector like that? They were mostly dumpy, and, let's face it, less than friendly. Why is that, I wonder.
