“With the Willi Waller – it won’t take you 3 times less time to peel potatoes, nor will it take you 4 times less time to peel potatoes. No, with the Willi Waller 2006, it will take you 2 times less time to peel your potatoes!”
“Têtes à Claques,” the hysterical animated video series from Quebec, is a real hit with Francophiles. Most of their videos have had more than 3 million views.
Unfortunately, they have only released one of their videos onto Youtube, The Willi Waller 2006, the infomercial parody above. You will have to check out their Official Web Site for their other videos. “Halloween” and “On Sort” are especially recommended.
The series title Têtes à Claques is an old expression that literally means “heads to slap”. You use it for people who are irritating, like Raoul in “On Sort.”
Below is the English translation for Willi Waller 2006 – as if you’ll need it.

Thank you very much
. My girlfriend and I think this stuff is hilarious, but she doesn’t understand enough French to appreciate it as much as I do… I’m not all that great with translation, so I had a great time with reading it in the style of Uncle Tom!
