This is not going to have global appeal, but I find it pretty darn funny. And since I’ve been distracted by work this month, working late preparing for our big trade show in Las Vegas, I thought I’d share something my manager at work showed me to lighten the mood as we toil away the months. (The work distractions are likely to continue until April or so, when all my efforts will culminate at NAB.)

Têtes à claques is an interesting website full of crazy shorts in Quebecois. You’ll see French-Canadian short animated clips with some humorous characters. The character style is that of video of real eyes and mouth superimposed over a claymation style doll-like figure. The humour is infectious, and, well, if you’ve never experienced the French-Canadian vernacular, you’ll probably just be lost.

My favourite is the LCD Shovel 2007. Merci, Uncle Tom…Merci!

Visit Têtes à claques on the internet, and watch the shorts.
