If you sit at home in front of the TV watching reality talent competitions and think to yourself, “These acts are getting a little repetitive,” consider watching the following video out of France. Featured on the French TV show called Le Plus Grand Cabaret Du Monde, two men with a quirky comedy act who call themselves Les hommes à poêles (roughly translated as The Men of Stoves) will leave you laughing and waiting to see what they will do next—and how they will pull it off!
The duo shuffles onto the stage at the beginning of the video with mock embarrassed expressions on their face; and for good reason—they are wearing nothing but chef hats and two cooking pans covering their private parts. But as the slapstick acrobatic act goes on, it is clear that the men are well-practiced and anything but embarrassed.
They continue through coordinated moves, placing and replacing the cooking pans timed to music. As the act progresses, the audience watches as the men provocatively lose the props, using less and less to cover themselves and keep their decency. But somehow, despite their nearly naked lifts and lunges, they never let anything slip out of place.
It is no wonder why this video has so many views now that it is online. It is interesting, different, creative, and downright funny to watch these two men go through their act feigning embarrassment as they risk showing too much. Watch with discretion and laugh to your heart’s content.
