#Like ❝Ok today is Carnival but we call it Mardi Gras which means fatty/fat/greasy Tuesday and it originated from bla bla bla❞

Truth to be told it probably happened at least once in Groland. It's a satirical program after all. Not that I want to belittle your translation though, because it's really good actually ❢ That's just a little detail that kinda has a different impact for people who don't speak French, at least in the eyes of native French speakers.

It's just that "ta gueule" is really strong, it's not tolerated in class and most kid shows don't even use it, hence why people are suggesting "shut the fuck up" for a similar impact, but even this translation wouldn't be ideal. "La ferme" is closer of "can it" I believe. "Ta gueule" is more like a variation of "shut up" that doesn't necessarily include a swear word (it's "ta gueule", not "ta gueule PUTAIN" after all), so something like like "shut your mouth" or something cruder would have probably worked better in the eyes of certain people (I am however guilty of swearing like a sailor in English so I actually struggle to find swear-free alternatives to things – a perk from learning English through random internet users – thus my translation isn't good but I've tried).

I'm not claiming my translation is better than yours ; I just wanted to share the thought process that a bunch of people probably had. You did great in general and I don't want to take away from that. I guess it just felt a little jarring for native French speakers but I wanted to try to understand why it was getting such a reaction. And um. Yeah.

This meme is inescapable on French insta so I'm posting it here for all to enjoy
