LET'S KEEP ON LAUGHING ... new friends at TAC TV

One of Québec's creations Les Têtes à claques from Michel Beaudet, was translated into English last year.

It has taken a while to find just the right person for the voice and the face, (mouth and eyes). The texts (scenarios) were Canadianized also! It has been renamed . TAC TV (Têtes à claques)

Better known in Quebec and in Europe as "Les têtes à claques", these funny characters have a new clip every week. It's stupid, it's simple, but it's taken off like a rocket in French. For those with an open mind and who love humour you can see a few of the translations into English.

I chose the Halloween one (click on title)

even though we're closer to Spring than Fall,

because this is one of their most popular and wellknown!

ENJOY!
