Téléchat is a French-Belgian puppet show created by Belgian director Henri Xhonneux, French surrealist artist Roland Topor and Belgian producer Éric Van Beuren. It ran for three seasons between 1983 and 1985, with a total of 234 episodes of five minutes each.A parody of news shows, it was hosted by two funny animals, a tomcat named Groucha and an ostrich named Lola. It featured a variety of sentient objects and revolved around the idea that the real-life elementary particles known as gluons were "the souls of objects."With its surreal and sometimes a little dark humor, the series enjoys cult status in France and Belgium. It has been dubbed in several langages, including Spanish and German. According to its producer Eric Van Beuren, a number of episodes were even dubbed in the UK for diffusion on Disney Channel. (Although apparently, many episodes were rejected by Disney on the grounds that Lola showed too much cleavage.)The names listed come from the original French version. | |

No Such Thing as Bad Publicity | |
Téléchat / int_12b1f5f3 | comment |
No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: In-Universe, in season 3, when Groucha and his crew lose the sponsorship of Lame Product, they decide to do "anti-commercials" as revenge in every episode where they say how bad Lame Product's products are. This increases the popularity of a competing brand called "Worst Product," which decides to sponsor Groucha and his friends as long as they continue making their anti-commercials. But a few episodes later, Worst Product asks them to stop insulting Lame Product, whose popularity has been increasing lately thanks to the anti-commercials. | |

Nepotism: GTI is a very blatant example. The only reason he got on TV in the first place is because his father is an electricity mogul, his uncle the CEO of Lame Products, and his cousin the proprietor of the studios that host Téléchat. He doesn't even realize it's something he should try to hide. | |

Catchphrase: Groucha starts every episode by saying "Chalut" (a pun on "salut", a casual greeting that can also be used to say goodbye, and "chat", which is French for "cat") to the viewers, and he ends episodes by saying "Chalut, à demain si on veut bien." meaning roughly "Chalut, see you tomorrow if you want." Sometimes, it's Lola who says the catchphrase at the end. GTI uses Groucha's catchphrase at first, but after being told to be more original, he goes with "Good evening". Duramou often says "Ca fait pas un pli" note Literally "That doesn't make a fold." which is a French expression that means "That's right". | |

Shout-Out | |
Téléchat / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In an attempt to capture Lola's attention, GTI claims to have had a close encounter of the third kind. Both the physical description of the extra-terrestrial entity and its desire to phone home are obvious references to Steven Spielberg's E.-T. The moon gluon has a miniature rocketship taken from Tintin. In episode 30 of season three, Groucha talks about a gardening hose called "Lucky Hose" that shoots water faster than its shadow, referencing Lucky Luke. | |

Continuity Snarl: In the stinger of episode 62 of season one, Groucha tells Lola that he never offered her flowers, even though he did offer her a bouquet of roses in a previous episode. In season one, it's said that Gluons have ears (though we don't see them), but in season two, it's said they don't have ears. In season three, Groucha laments that his friends didn't celebrate his birthday, even though he said in season one that he's a Birthday Hater. | |
