Les Filles de Calèche

Les Filles de Calèche is a parody of Les Filles de Caleb by Rock et Belles Oreilles on their 1989 - 90 compilation (available on video and DVD from amazon.ca).

'Roy de la Patate' plays the male lead 'Godzilla', who spends his time whittling on a potato and is not very bright. On the rare occasion he's found to be deep in concentration, he's sitting on the toilet!

'Marina Ordinaire' plays a very bossy Emilie, and both she and Roy end all their scenes with a meaningful gaze into the camera.

'Pipi' plays the unfortunate Charlotte who wets herself every 30 seconds. Even Emilie saying 'yes' (oui pronounced 'wee') sets her off. The Caleb impersonation is excellent - really like the introduction scene in the real series; when he makes a grab for Godzilla's penis, 'Roy' makes a 'just a leedle one' sign with his fingers.

There is a take-off of the 'horse scene', which ends up with Emilie being very offended (sorry, my French isn't up to catching what Godzilla suggests!). In the end though, it appears that Godzilla loves someone else - the cameraman!

The sketch, and indeed the whole 2 hour tape, is a real hoot - very basic humour with a lot of slapstick. If you have just a little French, and have done a trip to Quebec you'll find it hilarious - even without these it's well worth a look.
