Les Snuls

[b]Les Snuls[/b] was a Belgian comedic troupe active between 1989 and 1993 with a weekly television show on [url=https://discogs.com/label/249262]Canal+ Belgique[/url], [i]Film Belge[/i] feature-length TV movie, and several music albums. Inspired by groundbreaking British comedians [a=Monty Python] (who had a brief reunion in 1989), the collective presented a unique blend of nonsensical, self-mocking, and often borderline rude humor focusing heavily on the most archetypal symbols and tropes of "belgitude," from national cuisine and folklore to "household name" celebrities, like [a=Maurice Béjart] or [a=Jacques Brel]. Les Snuls also parodied stereotypical American sitcoms with quirky adaptations and comedy routines, such as [i]Santa Belgica[/i], a spoof of the iconic "Santa Barbara" soap opera. Some of the prominent guests who appeared on their show over the years include director and actor [a=Bouli Lanners], comedian and actress [a=Laurence Bibot], [a=Benoît Poelvoorde] with his song "[i]Allô les Américains[/i]," and [a=Sandra Kim], who also sang as "Miss Bricola" on the group's 1991 single [i][m=569640][/i].
