OT: Les Guignols de l'info.

[gaijin]

Thought that we could share some of our favourite clips of this superb show.

Simply stunning , the political references and homage to the graphic-novels and films is just brilliant. :D

That is one of the best they have ever done. The bit with Aillot-Marie throwing the swastikas at Le Pen is classic.

Awesome, Rothen whacking his head on the way out has me rolling on the floor laughing.

Who will win the Palme d'Or?

Seeing as I don't know much about French political leaders, I really didn't get the first link, but the second one was hilarious. :D

[ilv2]

I love it when they parody Francis Cabrel (c'etait mieux avant ;)!)

Btw what does "joga mochito" mean? Just being curious.

it's a play on joga bonito, except replacing the last part with the word 'moche' (ugly)

I am Nanbawan and I approve of this thread ! :D


Not related : as I'm looking by the window, the sky is completely pink ! :eek: Well, saumon rather. Yeah I know, I have a thrilling life...

[Nanbawan]

A premonition back in 2002.

I still love this one about Richard Virenque (french cyclist -darling of the french public- convicted of doping after the tour 1998, so, it's not just about Lance).

[Nanbawan]

Sometimes, Les guignols just make brilliant spoof movie trailers. Once again, it's better to know a bit about french politics to appreciate this guignol version of the Sixth Sense.

^ that was absolutely brilliant, poor lionel :(

the pays de merde was getting a little old though, i'm glad they revamped it with a good story.

[Nanbawan]

For dailymotion, looks kinda dead. the copyright police made their job...:(

Anyway, spoof ad of a lottery game. Chiracs : lifetime winners (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk3ncBSjJik).

Still looking for this James Bond parody, dammit !

[Nanbawan]

The original promotion ad for La Marche de l'Empereur (March of the Penguins) on Canal+ was already nice.

Let's see what Les Guignols made out of it.

One of the few accessible to non french readers.

[Gotham PSG]

I love that show, and what I love best is that you can watch them on their site, so whenever something happens in the news in france, I know where to look for some fun.
Although they've always pissed me off with the cheap PSG jokes

[El-ahrairah]

One of the best IMHO is the spoof that they did of Bill Clinton where he's playing a video game called "Clinton ********er".

[Nanbawan]

Here it is in all its glory.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk7txIgc0HA

I like this one myself. I sense the Bruno Gaccio (the main author) goes berserk touch there...

***

The Medef is the French CEOs syndicate, so an anti establishment show like les guignols could not forget about them and their former charismatic (?) boss : Ernest-Antoine Seillière. Roughly, it's about cynically firing people and cutting social benefits.

Au revoir l'artiste (to be taken with a super tanker load of salt).

Some of their relentless bashing do get old sometimes, see Franck Leboeuf...

They targeted PSG because it was owned by the Canal+ group (the channel that broadcasts the show) and since they had to target their own broadcasters in order to 'buy' the right to do so with others...Plus, Michel Denisot who's a pillar at Canal was president. This said, I think they're keeping on with that trend.

The new target is now Ligue 1 as a whole since Canal+ bought the TV rights which were so expensive. The joke being what's the cost of a Sedan - Valenciennes ? :eek: :D
