Têtes à claques is a French-language humour website created on August 16, 2006. Over one million short videos are watched per day, making it one of the most popular francophone websites in Quebec and Canada. As of March 2011, there are 184 videos. The most popular of these include ''Le pilote,'' ''Le Willi Waller,'' and ''Halloween.'' The creator, Michel Beaudet, has expressed surprise at the popularity of his site, saying it has reached an audience he never anticipated. As of 2010, Mondo Mini Shows has picked up the English version of Têtes à claques and broadcasting it under the name TAC. == Description == The skits feature characters sculpted from modelling clay that are fairly simplistic. Michel Beaudet creates the figures himself, by superimposing his own moving eyes, mouth, and sometimes nose on their faces with a computer. In addition, Beaudet has a set of fake, grotesque teeth, which he puts in while his face is being filmed. The phrase ''tête à claques'' translates loosely as "a face so ugly, you want to slap it." The site has also become very popular in France, not only because of the intentional humour and wit, but also because of a stereotypical Quebec accent. This differs greatly from pronunciations used in France, and thus provides its own humour, in addition to the frequent anglicisms (English words or expressions inserted into speech). The site features a page for mobile phones that presents snippets of episodes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Têtes à claques」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
