Summary
Têtes à Claques is an artistic comedy channel featuring animated dolls. Weird, huh? The show is bizarre to say the least, with plots ranging from abducted plane passengers, to semi-crazed trick-or-treaters, to a bad day at the salon.
Mini Critique
If you like absurdist comedy and fun graphics, Têtes à Claques is the right channel for you! The episodes can be quite annoying if you don't like slapstick humor, or at least a good fart joke once in a while, so this probably isn't the channel for you if you're exclusively interested in mature content. South Park or Bobs Burgers fans will definitely find this channel amusing! An added bonus: if you're looking to learn more about Canadian French, this channel will give you a good look into the accents and vocabulary of French Canadians.
Difficulty Rating
★✩✩✩✩ Piece of Cake / ★★★★✩ Tough Cookie
There are many factors that make Têtes à Claques so difficult to comprehend. First and foremost, the show is French Canadian. This means that the characters on the show have insane accents that most French students have not hear before. In addition to this, the vocabulary used in French Canada is vastly different from your typical French vocab, which further complicates the situation. As a consequence, this is definitely a channel that, if watched without subtitles, is really only for higher-level language learners. Têtes à Claques does not provide any English or French subtitles, which is a bummer. However, since the show is so popular, other channels been granted permission to copy the episodes and provide English subtitles, which makes the channel infinitely easier to comprehend.
