It's so important to have a generation of bilingual Canadian children who know how to respond when confronted with a talking pineapple. And now they also know that when approached by a pilot with a fixated stare who lands her plane inches away from you, the first thing you should do is offer her a glass of water or a cup of tea.
"Je suis un ananas" "Les ananas ne parlent pas?" "Nous nous appelons Les Squelettes" Those sure are some useful phrases you learn here. In fact, I use them all the time. You wouldn't survive a day in a French speaking country without being able to tell someone you're a pineapple.
I haven't studied French since 9th grade more than a decade ago and I still understand most of this. Maybe the teachers had a point when they agreed to inflict this upon every French class
Executive: We need a new TV show. Producer: How about a show about a talking pineapple that lives in a junkyard and hangs out with French-Canadian children? Executive: ... Executive: Perfect.
I resent the sociocultural stigmas inflicted upon this pneapple. "LES ANANAS NE PARLENT PAS" is a repeated theme in this documentary, yet, ananas can clearly talk. When jacques is confronted wth this matter, all he can say is "mais tu es un ananas." which, of course, represents a more existential debate here where, perhaps, the existence of this talking pineapple is used to intrigue the concepts of freedom and responsibility. this is a PINEAPPLE who can TALK, people!!!! yet, through free will, he chooses to spend his time around children who don't believe in him. furthermore, this could represent a more kafkaesque scenario where someone living a sad, dull life suddenly wakes up as a pineapple. very interesting. 8/10
I was the only english kid in a french school in first grade. We watched this. Due to language barrier, I had no idea wtf it was and the pineapple haunted my dreams.
Je n'ai pas les mots devant ce moment incroyable qui vient d'arriver dans ma vie. Ce chef-d'œuvre a renversé à jamais mes convections sur l'art dans le milieu de l'audiovisuel. Son visionnage m'a procuré des sensations que je ne pensais pas capable de ressentir devant une simple vidéo. Ce moment, qui vient de se terminer et qui me semble pourtant si lointain, était tout simplement majestueux. Complètement hors du temps. Ma fascination n'avait d'égal que mon admiration pour les créateur d'une telle magnificence. Ma vision du monde est à jamais bouleversée.
Vienna Raphael i watched it at school and everytime that goddamn pineapple came up im not even joking it felt like it was slowly eating away at my soul
They showed this to us in first grade, and I still remember thinking "You are a pineapple!" is the single dumbest phrase they could have picked to be the first one to formally teach kids learning the language.
Back in the day, my father and other kids were subjects to this and were dying of laugther to the point the teacher had to stop the video to calm them down and here i am dying of laugther as well. Bless the téléfrançais pineapple for rest of time!
I can't even figure out a reason /why/ they needed to have a ragdoll/animatronic horror from my nightmares play Pilote instead of just hiring a real actor. Does it cost less to have it be that way, or something? Did they hire the two children and just run out of funds? French Canadian children's television is truly an enigma.
I guess a real actress wouldn't have been uncanny enough. Or they tried to compensate the talking pineapple by teaching: "Hey, you think living objects are creepy? Well, people can be creepy, too!".
Ah, j’adore l’ananas! No, seriously, I watched like six episodes of this when I was a teen, and then our PBS quit carrying it. For nearly the last 40 years, I’ve caught myself mumbling things like, “c’est merveilleux, c’est magnifique…” and “L’ananas va sauter en parachute!” Nice to see all the insanity again.
Who was the genius in the writing room who was like "ok, we open up this educational video series in a garbage dump and have a sentient pineapple pop up"
Oh shit I remember watching this show in French class all the time. I'll have you know I learned the language just fine despite this creepy thing, yet I still have the image of it saying "les ananas ne parlent pas" burned into my brain.
Has anyone else turned on the captions and translated them into english? They might be a tad bit off .... apparently "Tu es un ananas" means "this is true kill osama" to youtube
Les Acadiens ne sont même pas capables d'alligner deux mots français sans balancer trois mots d'anglais.🤦🏻 Heureusement que "Téléchiac" ou ""Télécayouche" n'existent pas...quelle honte..
We used to watch this all the time when I was little at school. It was something that we all always looked forward to and it's great to finally watch it again.
My class was shown this in Grade 4 and 5. We laughed our asses off at the fact that they got the military to save a pineapple that was being taken away by a crow. We loved this show because of how stupid this show was.
I love this show. I watched this back when I was still 9 years old. The show was shown here in the Philippines back then, without subtitles. :) I love the sound of French and I'm going to learn it because of Téléfrancais!
I watched this 12 years ago when i was in elementary school. i have forgotten most of my french but i'm trying to learn again. figured i should start with this gem
We watched this every Friday in grade one! Everyone looked forward to it! It was the best! And Les Squelettes were my favourite part! ANANAS FOREVER!!!
As a Canadian, Telefrancais was one of the main reasons I understand basic French and it was an integral part of my childhood education. Je M'appelle IceSlushi. Je mange grande champignons et fromage ;).
I remember being in geade 1, my teacher would put this on for us while he gelped the grade 8s. I was in french immersion. 8 years later this is french nostalgia, and i understand everything
Hahaha this is so epic. I watched this stuff in elementary school. And years later I can still appreciate it! And it's so easy to understand what they're saying, too!

preach it!
and vote if the pinapple can dance,talk and fly
Yeah I have a friend who's a talking pineapple. This show is useful because now I can actually talk to him instead of eating him.
Je ne suis pas a goddamn fool
TheLoneGunman26 oui, tu en es un calisse
"Je suis un ananas"
"Les ananas ne parlent pas?"
"Nous nous appelons Les Squelettes"
Those sure are some useful phrases you learn here. In fact, I use them all the time. You wouldn't survive a day in a French speaking country without being able to tell someone you're a pineapple.

no one ffucking cares brah
@@buckxt you cared enough to comment that
I saw this on TV as a kid when my parents had cable.
The fact you say “inflict upon” shows your class felt the same way as mine haha

This anana needs to ananot.

I like how the kid managed to convince the talking pineapple that pineapples can't talk
😂😂
It's Called Ananás🙄
I resent the sociocultural stigmas inflicted upon this pneapple. "LES ANANAS NE PARLENT PAS" is a repeated theme in this documentary, yet, ananas can clearly talk.

Vous êtes un Jean Paul Sartre régulier!
I don't know why I bother to read comments
its satire, mate
the best part of french class, the demonic pineapple show
We used to watch this weekly in french class when I was in Grade 1 back in 1989. As trippy as the show is, it actually did help us learn.
and we still watched it in my 3rd grade in around 2015-16
So they don't accept the talking pineapple but are fine with dancing skeletons and a weird pilot who lands her plane outside of their junk yard?
Abby M Those kids are f’d in the head.
#stopananashate
People think I’m crazy when I tell them that a pineapple taught me French.
I was the only english kid in a french school in first grade. We watched this. Due to language barrier, I had no idea wtf it was and the pineapple haunted my dreams.
But the pinneaple is cute, how ever the cap lady... 😳🤣🤣🤣
the squelettes did a number on me lol

Bro, this is a French learning show for children, tone it down by about three language levels
I remember one of the kids in my elementary class having to be escorted out because he was so terrified by the skeletons
holy shit this made me laugh so hard
the skeletons?
BOY I'D HAVE TO GET OUT CAUSE OF THAT PINEAPPLE
Smol Meme I was watching this at school and I almost cried

This wasn't French Canadian children's TV... it was to teach french as a second language.
I remember these from my time in elementary school. The teach used to pop the VCR into the TV and that was the class.
I guess a real actress wouldn't have been uncanny enough.
Or they tried to compensate the talking pineapple by teaching: "Hey, you think living objects are creepy? Well, people can be creepy, too!".
@@dunro Yes but it was canadian

I remember watching this in my first year of French in grade 4 and I had no idea what was happening😂
Ahh memories. Me too
+Ivy May im in grade 4 now and im watching this because my french tutor told me to watch it
I watched it in grade 1 lmao. Now, in grade 6, I'm watching over these episodes and being like "ohhhhhh!"
lol
+Stable YT one of my classmates asked to watch it again and I'm terrified
Who was the genius in the writing room who was like "ok, we open up this educational video series in a garbage dump and have a sentient pineapple pop up"
check the credits lol
Sounds like Seth Rogen to me.
Ah man, this takes me back to my childhood.
One of the darker, more forgotten alleyways of my childhood, that is.
I remember watching this in third grade. I have no idea how the entire class wasn't traumatized.
My classmates are just happy we aren't doing math
omg me too. I'm glad I'm not alone in my trauma lol
holy hell I remember watching this in 10th grade French class.😂 Our brains were all screaming WTF??? before that was even an acronym.
JE SUIS UN ANANAS
Pft. Ce n'est pas possible.
Trust me - our brains were screaming the same thing in grade 4, haha.
10th grade????? omg I would've died. I was subjected to this in 3rd grade...
Wow finally something I can understand with my terrible french.
Claire Cavanaugh tru

And gives you nightmares in the process.

True true
lazytown and sesame street if it was high and had an affinity for living demonic pineapples and came straight outta qubecc
“Je suis un ananas!” is just so iconic. Also that theme song hits so hard.
I refuse to acknowledge the fact that there is not an English-translated version of this.
holy sshit im high as hell
samcb yep
Oh yes
samcb lmao same
Try seeing this in class. You’ll think you’ve wandered into the bathroom and took a puff of the senior’s bong.
I remember watching this in french class. My teacher had a paper mache one she made. It stared into your soul.
This video is my comfort video, I watch it at least once a month
Me as well, as the pineapple said "je suis un ananas"
I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS IN FRENCH CLASS!!!
JE SUIS UN ANANAS
Omg same
Oh merdouille alors, merci Joueur du Grenier pour cette pépite méconnue chez nous 😂
"Bonjour! Je suis pilote!"
Oh yeah, I would have figured-out since you just landed a plane in my backyard a few seconds ago.
I am learning french now, I find it funny😃Nous nous appelons les squelettes, nous chantons pour vous, chantez avec nous 🤣🤣🤣
i'm french and i find this is goofy as well
This is what they gave us and expected us to embrace French
This is *why* I embraced it, gosh!
worked for me too
It's hilarious
Oh shit I remember watching this show in French class all the time.
I'll have you know I learned the language just fine despite this creepy thing, yet I still have the image of it saying "les ananas ne parlent pas" burned into my brain.
For me it's "porquas pas" that's stuck
I still can't get the theme song out of my head.
I loved watching this show when I was growing up, even though I never actually learned French.
JE SUIS UN ANANAS

The pineapple puppet looks like a cross between a pineapple and a furby OMFG HOW DID I FIND THIS?!?!
Omg that’s exactly what it is I was trying to figure out why it looked familiar
We used to watch this in our elementary school french class back in the mid 80's on VHS tapes.
Has anyone else turned on the captions and translated them into english? They might be a tad bit off .... apparently "Tu es un ananas" means "this is true kill osama" to youtube
Tu es un ananas means "you are a pineapple" xD
Tawny Draws 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
No wonder the rest of Canada think that us from Quebec are weird, it's that freaking french pineapple's fault.
it's okay, we acadians are on the same page lol
@@bellagray1580 En effet avec les Acadiens on ne se sent pas si seuls ☺.

I don’t remember him looking that terrifying 😭😭😭
What I learned: _Les ananas ne parlent pas_.
I wonder where Jaques is today. ...
I remember watching Telefrancais in the 6th grade and it brought me back memories.
How did grade 5 me not appreciate this for the masterpiece it is
You have no idea how excited I. Am right - I loved this show as a child! Thanks SO much for posting!
Whenever the kids say that Anana can't do something....
That's pineapplist.
We used to watch this all the time when I was little at school. It was something that we all always looked forward to and it's great to finally watch it again.
Thirty years later, and I still have no clue what they are saying. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Je suis une Ananas! Used to drive my parents nuts running around the house yelling that one

I remember watching this in grade 4, I had no idea what they were saying and 6 years later, I understand it perfectly
Me and my friends used to watch this in grade 5 and to this day we still sing the theme song :)

We watched this in French class in seventh grade. I used to look forward to the days when the teacher played this show.
Very fucking useful french phares I learned from this video
Yeah, sometimes i wonder if there are kids that go around telling people they're pineapples....
Phạm Tân I AM A PINEAPPLE! USEFUL
Je suis un ananas
I remember watching this show late nights on WLAE channel 32 in my hometown of New Orleans as a kid. 😄
I just now saw this for the first time as an adult. And my God that is one creepy pineapple! Nightmare fuel. 😨
Oh my gosh, lol. This brings me back to the good ol' days
Good old french class :p I'm looking back at it, how were you suppose to learn from this lol?
LES ANANAS NE PARLENT PAS?
+R4yyWALSH More like : How are you supposed to use these sentences everyday ?
I remember being in geade 1, my teacher would put this on for us while he gelped the grade 8s. I was in french immersion. 8 years later this is french nostalgia, and i understand everything
If saw that in French class, this is weird as hell. Lol!
I like weird things. :D
I saw this today in French class

The puppet boy....Oh God the puppet boy. I swear, the first time he started talking I felt a small hand grab my ankle. THAT SHIT AIN'T NORMAL
I am so in love with this! Loved Telefrancais growing up haha...for those that didn't grow up with it, yeah, it looks pretty crazy.
Holy crap I remember this… in 4th grade my French teacher would show this to us in some Fridays. And that creepy pineapple was all I cared about lol
