My kids still watch Telefrancais in school.

Téléfrancais in school was pretty funny. It was the last kid show I watched by many years, and I wasn't old enough for it to feel ironic or meta etc, but it was on par with my poor French skills. I remember the character named L'anana, which sounded like a scat fill in 50s doo wop song to me, and the intro which sang the show's praises "c'est magnifique... c'est incredible"

Absolutely. It’s why I know how to say pineapple in French. And like… nothing else.

Without watching that video all I have to say is:

Bonjour

Allo!

Saluuuuuut!!!!!!!

This must have been before my time. My generation was all about Café Des Rêves.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I've never heard of it. At home, we watched "Chez Hélène" (heh. I still remember the correct accents because they remind me of a surprised face). Anyway Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chez_H%C3%A9l%C3%A8ne

I did immersion, so no.

I know the "normal" side of the school watched the series, and the stoners loved it

Parlez avec nous!

I talk about ananas all the time

I'm Québécois, never heard of it! Fascinating.
