Zey seenk eet’s all over? Eet eez now! Pierre’s back for his second video, saying what he thinks about Zidane’s “final bow”, and presenting the song “Non ti scordar di me” by Gigli, popularised at the world cup twenty years ago by the Three Tenors.

Now obviously Pavarotti sings this far better than I do, he may have been unwell at the last world cup, and as you will know, his sad demise came not long after.

The maestro sadly missed

 

Recently the four yearly event of the world cup came round again – amazing how time flies. The viewer figures showed the second five hundred views on this happen within a couple of months, and since then it’s plateaued off and had only a handful of views in two years.

Introducing Pierre Delauney!


Here we have for the first time the fourth “persona” on the channel, after Viktor Huliganov, Thomas P. Jameson III and Peter Paczek. I didn’t do much with this character, but he is based a bit on an old French teacher of mine from school days – even some of the gags are from that guy, and I liked that teacher a great deal. I think he appears only twice, but he can always re-appear in the future. One day I’d like to do more with Pierre Delauney.

And, for those of you who are wondering where the pun is – the pun is in Polish. Pierre Delauney sounds like “pierdolony”.
