Patof (alias Jacques Desrosiers, 1938-1996) billed himself as "Le Roi des Clowns." Here below, he's at his lip-synching scariest on 1972's Jeunesse d'aujourd'hui. He was at the top of his form that year, taking home two Disques d'or.
Aaargh! I had forgotten about HIM! I don't remember the name of that comedian. He had a TV show on TVA. His character was supposed to be a russian clown. Notice the kids with him in the video? They're wearing Patof pajamas. There was a lot of merchandising around the Patof show. Comics, chocolate statues, the clothes... and the songs. Deep fried Quebec culture from the seventies. Next thing you're gonna dig up some Monsieur Tranquille videos!
