Petit Pataud
Title card

"Petit Pataud" is a skit that aired as part of Donkey Kong Planet. It is framed as a commercial for "Petit Pataud," a parody of the clothing brand Petit Bateau. The skit features a parody of "Fais pas ci, fais pas ça" by Jacques Dutronc, a song that was used in an advertising campaign for Petit Bateau.

Summary[edit]

Diddy Kong is obese and struggles to mount a skateboard in front of the Sacré-Cœur. He is also unable to kick a soccer ball and ends up being kicked like a soccer ball by Funky Kong, who bullies him due to his weight. The screen then changes to a scene of Diddy screaming while using a skateboard to ride down a flight of stairs as a narrator says, "Petit Pataud, underwear for athletes who flop, a huge flop" (which can also be understood as "a huge belly").

Song lyrics[edit]

French lyrics Translation

Fais pas ci, fais pas ça
T'as bouffé trop de chocolat
Pour le skate, c'est râpé
T'es trop lourd, tu vas tomber

Don't do this, don't do that
You ate too much chocolate
It's a no-go for skateboarding
You're too heavy, you're gonna fall

Fais pas ci, fais pas ça
T'as bouffé trop de chocolat
Pour le foot, laisse béton
On va te prendre pour un ballon
Pour le foot, laisse béton
On va te prendre pour un ballon

Don't do this, don't do that
You ate too much chocolate
Forget about soccer
People will mistake you for a ball
Forget about soccer
People will mistake you for a ball

Fais pas ci, fais pas ça
Pour le skate, c'est râpé
T'es trop lourd, tu vas tomber

Don't do this, don't do that
It's a no-go for skateboarding
You're too heavy, you're gonna fall
