So, I introduced some lovely people to the horror that is Ananas from Telefrancais.
(^^^this mf)
But there is another cursed Canadian puppet show, not as nightmare-inducing as Telefrancais, but still cursed.
And that would be Nanalan'. I can't even remember if there were actual words in it, all I know is that I had some episodes on VCR and felt like I was in a fever dream.
Simple doodle of that cursed pineapple. Although I watched a lot of weird shows with puppets, marionette and others while growing up, I only learned about this one five or seven years ago when scrolling through certain YouTuber recounting this fever dream of a show.
So, a few days ago I started a French siege on a mutual's blog (hi Auburn), but it wasn't intentional; just felt silly and wanted to talk in my rusty-ass French. And then, low and behold, from the dark recesses of my mind I hear, "Je suis une ananas!"
WHY WON'T IT LEAVE ME ALONE! IT'S BEEN OVER A DECADE!
If I can't escape the hellspawn that is Ananas from Telefrancais, no one can.
You might be wondering, "What the fuck is that?" That would be Ananas, he has terrorized Canadian children since 1984. Yes, it was real, yes it felt like a fever dream. Yes, it still haunts me, it'll haunt me for the rest of my life.
What's worse was when I first watched it in grade 4 I was terrified of puppets. So yeah, Ananas is my sleep-paralysis demon.
And if I had a nickel for every time a cursed puppet show was on Canadian tv, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but still a coincidence.
