Et Dieu créa... Laflaque (original) (raw)

Et Dieu créa... Laflaque (later Ici Laflaque) was a satirical show on Quebec television that commented on current events through its main character, Gérard D. Laflaque, a stereotypical family father. According to Stéphan Bureau, the show characterized a major source of vicarious embarrassment for the younger generation. Created by the cartoonist Serge Chapleau, it was broadcast on a weekly basis between 2004 and 2019 by Télévision de Radio-Canada. Its original title translates to "And God Created... Laflaque" (a satirical reference to the Brigitte Bardot film Et Dieu créa... la femme), and its renamed title of Ici Laflaque ("This Is Laflaque") is a play on the classic announcement "Ici Radio-Canada."
