From the French cooking show Des Kiwis et des Hommes, a highly educational segment on how to prepare palourde royal. Kinda sorta NSFW.
Voyons donc!

I want a translation! Or captions. :D I only caught very small bits of the conversation between the nervous giggling and the camera trying to decide who's expression was the funniest.

Go, Geoducks go,
Through the mud and the sand,
let's go.
Siphon high, squirt it out,
swivel all about,
let it all hang out.
Go, Geoducks go,
Stretch your necks when the tide
is low
Siphon high, squirt it out,
swivel all about,
let it all hang out.

They're Quebecois, these three dudes; they're laughing nervously and asking the little pink-shirted asian dude (who learned his French in Quebec, but still has a bit of an accent from his native tongue) how one cooks this 'palourde royale', this King Clam.
The resemblance to a giant dong is never said aloud, and asian dude is doing his best to just show them how to cook the damn thing - he's being an admirable straight man here, answering questions like, 'can you eat these raw? I imagine they'd be rubbery.' with grace and restraint.

from idiopath's link:
The geoduck has a life expectancy of up to 150 years with the oldest recorded at 163 years.
Wow. You really do learn something new every day.

They would probably find this less funny if the roles were reversed. "Your penis looks like a tiny slug!"

Very funny vidéo coming out of a usually very boring show...
A friend published that last week on FB...
I said to myself ' aww, fuk, des kiwis et des hommes???!!'
I gave it a try, didnt regret it!
Yeah Huronbob, only canadians would find that thing funny.
I guess puritans-'Murkins would call the FCC to complain...

CitoyenK, I don't think it's espousing puritanism or the need for censorship to say that the prolonged, nigh-helpless giggling seems a bit childish and makes those two alleged "adults" look like immature schoolboys.

Ok, ok , I'm the only one here who found that video funny.
It's normal I'm immature, I am Québecois...
I didn't notice this thread was devoted to the psychoanalysis
of Francis Reddy and Boubakar Diouf.

Hey, Tri's resto is just up the street from me, in Montreal. He's a cool guy, used to work for the best sushi place in town, but now has his own hole-in-the-wall sushi place.
I didn't find the video very funny, but since it's circulating like crazy, I showed to my GF, who couldn't stop laughing.
