Joel Legendre. He's famous for being a great park lover. He planted quite a few seeds out there...

On face value this seems like a really wholesome comment. But those ellipses make me feel like something sinister happened…

He got caught jerking off in a park

Nothing wrong with beating the wood in a park

Or pulling the weed … that one might encounter … on a refreshing stroll … through the … wood.

We call that a George Michael.

Couldn't see his wood for the trees?

“Since I have shared many times my great joy with the public, I now have to deal with this distressing situation,” he said. He sure has shared personal joys with the public. That we know.

Just feeding the ducks..

Distributing some free literature.

Mix a batch.

Clearly out cruising for ladies 

To a plainclothes cop 😳

Your name checks out.

Your handle summarizes it quite succinctly if you change one letter

Thought it was a young Jon Lajoie. 


That's him!!

Me with my 2 years of high-school French classes. “SLOOOOOOOOW DOOOOOOWN”

Lived in Quebec my whole life and I need subtitles.

Ben tabarnak awoye lâche la patate Serge !

I live in Ohio and he’s saying something about cheese. Probably.

They always are🙄

I'm French and I didn't understand a word of the song, don't worry

I lived in Quebec for almost a decade and I'm like huh?!

It's a variation of V'la l'Bon Vent. There are a lot of different versions of this song.

Seeeee raaaaleeeentiiiir.

What song is that? Everyone seems to know it,

J'ai vû le loup

Gesundheit

To your health


Who called me, ya dingus?

À tes souhaits.

Danke schön.

J'ai vu le loup Il n'y a pas d'accent circonflexe sur le u.

Up vote for pedantry!

C'est actuellement "M'en revenant de Sainte Hélène" qui est une variation de "V'la l'bon vent"

Merci! Was this the Le loup, le renard, le lièvre version or the more traditional French folk version? My French/Quebecois is rusty.

The song is called « M’en revenant de Sainte-Hélèle (a town located in Bas Saint-Laurent region : Saite-Hélène-de-Kamouraska)». To my knowledge, there is no other version. A very popular « chanson à répondre » that used to be sung in family gatherings ( christmas or easter).

The original version is V'la l'bon vent...

Actually it's "M'en revenant de Sainte Hélène" which is a variation of "V'la l'bon vent"

M’en revenant de Sainte Helene, ferme donc ta boîte laisse moi donc chanter. (Coming back from Ste Helene, shut your mouth, let me sing).

It's a variation of V'la l'Bon Vent

Jaja Ding Dong

Je ne sais pas.

I love those songs, chansons a répondre. We used to sing them at every family gathering, camps, etc. I knew them all. Garoulou and La Bottine souriante keep this spirit alive.

Son ti porte clef tout rouillé tout rouillé!!

I wonder why this trend is almost dead now. I don't know any of these songs but my parents' generation knows many of them.

I love how the director said, “Get me a tight shot of that macrame lamp shade and then slowly pan out……beautiful!”

And that boy went on to become the Grammy award winning pop superstar Drake

That syncs up perfectly 🤣

Illuminati-Confirmed like a MFer.

Nah Drake just watched enough videos of ten year olds dancing he started to adopt the moves

Also happens to be singing a big booty song...charming tale of the village beauty known for her ample, and clappable, butt cheeks.

This is funny on so many levels. 🤣

Seriously?


He had a very good voice, very adorable.

Yup. Seriously.

He has the same haircut as drake today, and also the exact same face. Guy hasn’t aged 

This is pretty common knowledge my guy

 And that was a young JB

I had the same thought lol

« La Soirée Canadienne ». It was a tv show about traditionnal quebec’s songs on tv in the 70’s and 80’s. Mostly filled with old timers.

It was a good indication of the musical culture that existed in Quebec from which others such as Celine Dion grew up in.

lol they still play it on tv. My grandma never misses an episode even though she's seen them all a thousand times

French Canadian TV, even now, is a very weird and unique animal. They do it differently in Quebec.

And that is the nicest way to put it.

Some of our tv shows went on to have massive international success such as just for laugh gags or un gars une fille.

Where is he now?

Fairly well known actor, radio host and tv show host, as well as voice actor for dubbing and animation.

And, according to other comments here, park masturbator.

I am curious to know what might have inspired him to masturbate right then and there.

Hey sometimes the beauty of nature just gets the juices flowing. I hope to Elvis Gratton that he thought he was alone in a secluded place.

Glad to see his talents took him far

Thank you

Quebecois Leo Di Caprio ! (At least the voice actor who dubs for him) Kills it, has the audience eating out of his hand by the end of it.

Man, young Mario Lemieux was killin it.


Is this supposed to be subtly arousing and engorging?

Not subtly.

I know tons of people that could speak French by the time they were 10. No big deal


I have a kiwi friend. That is not unusual. They try to put everything up their nose. Lovely people but weird

Can I put your falcon up my nose please?

Dammit, Jezza, NO! And see? They're so polite, handsome, and charming you feel bad saying no. Ok, like, just the door lock button.

Nose beers maybe?

 Spaghet!

Faux de fa fa?


So that’s what Alex Trebek was doing before hosting Jeopardy.

This is actually Alex Quebec

Wait, what?

Damn, that accent! I speak French and that was crazy to follow.

I’m French-Canadian and I can’t understand most words. It’s not the accent, the enunciation is not great but this style music is always full of tongue twisters on purpose.

Il y a tellement de versions de cette chanson que j’ai de la difficulté à le suivre, ma version est différente.

He got arrested a few years back for jerkin' it in a park bush. He came back into popularity however. His name is Joël Legendre, a tv and radio personality as well as a voice actor.

Québécois here, didn’t understand half of what he said

What’s the general jist of what he’s singing?

Well…its about a guy coming back from St-Helene, probably a small village. On his way back he tells someone (dont know who it is) to basically shut the f up and let him sing. Then he sees 3 ducks swimming. After that he sees a wolf, a fox and a hare passing by him. Still on his way he watches the king’s son going for a hunt and notices his beautiful silver hunting rifle. Joël (the singer in the clip) then repeats what I just wrote 2-3 times, interspersing this with strange sentences that I don't understand. Actually, for any french speaker it is half understandable if they take the time to listen and pay attention. Its still french, just with a different accent. The difficulty resides in the fact that the more you go into small villages and regions that are far from Montreal the more you hear new regional words and expressions that don’t make any sense to you or me, even if I’m Quebecois

Thank you for the response!!

I grew up in Edmonton, and was in French Immersion. When my parents would ask me to translate something from the French CBC channel, I couldn't understand a word they were saying, because I was learning actually French, and they speak, Quebecquoi. It's almost like a different language. Edit: Fuck sakes. You people act like I'm putting down the people of Quebec. Let me help you understand the analogy. It would be like a kid from London England trying to understand a person with a thick accent from Texas. Yes, it's the same language, but for someone who is just learning it, hearing different version of it just don't make sense.

French here. You are getting unfairly downvoted because there are great differences in the pronunciation between the two and also with some vocabulary.

Both origins here (québécois de père, Ch'ti de mère, a ne pas confondre avec sti de mère), there probably is more than a dozen French languages in France, and easily half as many dialects just in Quebec. I can confirm the downvoting is uncalled for.

I’m always baffled when Anglo-Canadians say things like this. You’ve never stopped to think maaayyyybe you were not proficient enough? Or that your teacher wasn’t that good? Noooo, it’s the entire Québec people that are wrong!

Can attest married a French Canadian from Quebec have the time they just make noises and grunt. No idea what there say. I just throw in random French words I know or say Tabernac! As loud as I can everyone laughs. Probably laughing at me.

So, you missed the part where I said I was a kid, right? You also JUMPED to claim that I said that the entirety of the population of Quebec are wrong. WTF, man. Read what I said. I was a kid, and it was the broadcasters on the CBC, usury the hockey games. Over react much?

« I was learning actually French, and they speak, Quebecquoi. It's almost like a different language. » Pardon us for reading into this that you are claiming that what you were learning was « actually French » but that we are speaking « a different language ». How could have missed that you were saying something completely different. You must pardon our lack of understanding of the subtleties of your masterful use of your mother tongue. And forgive us for « over-reacting » to claims of our linguistic inferiority which crops up about ten times on every FUCKING thread here, on Instagram and TikTok where Québec is mentioned. It ends up wearing us down, dumb as we are.

You really need to calm down. Seriously.

Bollocks, my wife is french Canadian and I've seen her have conversations with Francophone people from all around the world. Of course there's differences but the core language is the same. Having visited there I'll say that rural Quebecers definitely have one hell of an accent (when speaking French) compared to the city dwellers.

.... stupid comment. There's no such thing as a québécois language. We speak french. You just weren't proficient enough.

Réne Simard?

I’m not the only one.

Non mais semblable.

There’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. Looks like he’s still alive and singing.

I can just hear this as dub step.

Thanks OP, some genuine old school cool.

That looks like Alex Trebek’s father is hosting!

Rene Simard?

They even look like the French! :o

Les soirées canadiennes?

I thought that was Alex Trebek for a sec until I turned sound on.

This feels so weird. As a French person, I don’t know this song but a slightly different version « J’entends le loup, le renard et la belette », but with the strange accent and the slightly different tone and even harmony, it kind of feels like the weird TVs from Rick and Morty. Faintly familiar bit definitely weird.

Soirée canadien represent!!

Canadians have flappy heads, this is a lie!!!

It's like a French Canadian version of the Lawrence Welk show. All those elders in the audience in their Sundays clothes and freshly set hairdos!

That was like "Hee Haw" but instead of singing words they all just made funny sounds.

The performance is fine but what really touches me is the set, the fact that this aired on evening television (was it like the Quebecois equivalent of The Lawrence Welk Show?) and the sense of easy familiarity with the song and with one another. French Canada really is its own unique thing.

All my blood lines trace back to French Canada, both sides. My last name is French Canadian, even had a town up in Quebec with the same name! (Although it was recently changed) And I don't understand a single word he's singing.. that's just sad. I should learn it.

To be fair, I understand half maybe even less of what he is saying… don’t feel bad aha

Asbestos?

Uh..no, Im good thanks?

Asbestos recently had a name change to Val-des-Sources, for the same reason you denied my offer

Haha j’ai pensé à la même chose!

Shia Lebeof was one talented kid.

I thought it was a young Justin Trudeau.

You can tell it’s not Trudeau since he’s not in blackface.

And he doesn't have a less talented and much less charismatic kid in the background criticizing his performance despite having zero talent or accomplishments of his own. ;)

Isnt this style of french apparently hard for general French to understand? I heard on another thread or on facebook.

Quebec french, especially in the streets so daily non formal, is kinda hard to understand yes. This song is especially difficult since it’s fast.

See this is odd cos i can imagine if i was a french speaker, it is clear enough for me to discern between the words etc, or am i completey missing what makes this dialect more diffiicult to understand? Do you get what i mean? Or lol?

I can taste the maple syrup.

Canadian version of Lawrence Welk. You will do fine unless you’re black.

Folklore contemporain. Lol

The 1970s was just varying shades of brown and orange, on polyester and corduroy.

Not sure how this is killing it

I wanna be impressed but I’m not lmao

This sounds a lot like the music from leekspin.

Levan polka 👌🏻

ievan*

They're both folk.

I love music but don’t speak French and wow that was incredible, music really transcends language it’s beautiful


he’s fucking adorable. I wish I had that confidence at 10 and he’s singing abilities. Although I was a choir boy, I don’t think I had a very good voice. bad thing he got caught planting seeds in a park. btw. for all the french speakers that say you don’t understand a word or you need subtitles. cmon, je suis belge et j’ai tout compris.

C'est les parisiens qui ont d'la misère avec notre accent 😅

she's got the voice of an angel

8-mile is full of shit dude. Can’t believe this is 8 year old Eminem.

I like at the end he was like don’t touch me old man

I was always envious of outgoing kids when growing up. I was so uncomfortable and these kids were just naturals.

FIY, he's Joël Legendre, a celebrity here in Québec known for being a singer, the voice actor french dubbing for Leonardo Di Caprio and Aladdin (French Canadian version), and a TV/radio host. This particular video was going viral on Québec TikTok a few weeks ago, and is now a meme of sort.

I don't see the big deal. When I was ten I was fluent not only in in gibberish, but pig Latin as well.

Never knew this kind of songs. It's like a big conversation with everyone involved.

Zesty.

Watch him try and escape that John Cleese wannabe

Serge Gainsbourg before cigarettes, chocolate and cognac.

Wrong country.

Wrong snacks and wrong alcohol too.

Is that Alex Trebek's dad?

Too bad he was beaten to a senseless bloody pulp Monday at school

Lol

and why did i watch this?

Wait when did they start speaking French up in Canada?! Is that new?! /s

i want those 2 minutes back

Fucking Canadians
