Têtes à claques is a humour website created on August 16 2006. Over one million clips are watched per day, making the website one of the most popular in Quebec.

The creator, Michel Beaudet, has expressed surprise at the popularity of his site, and has said it has reached a size he would never have dreamed of.

Description

The characters are all sculpted from modelling clay, and are fairly simplistic. Michel Beaudet creates the figures himself, and superimposes the moving eyes and mouth on their faces using a computer.

The site has also become very popular in France, not only because of the intentional humour and wit, but also because of the Quebecois accent, which differs widely from the accent used in France.

Work is underway to convert the Têtes à claques to formats viewable on cell phones and iPods.

History

Beaudet has said that "Têtes à Claques was an accident." He was originally trying to make a series using stop motion animation, but quickly discovered that "90% of the time it takes to animate is moving the eyes and mouth." He tried doing it the regular way, but because he was "too lazy" he decided to film his own face and superimpose his eyes and mouth on the figurines.

Every day, Beaudet receives new offers from telephone companies and television stations, to the point that he has employed two other people to help with the production at his home in Boucherville. There are plans to make a Têtes à Claques DVD in time for PortChristmas 2007.

On November 12 2006, the creators appeared on the Quebec television show Tout le monde en parle hosted by Guy A. Lepage. The name of the show translates as 'Everyone's Talking About it.'
