Les Snuls
was a group of Belgian comedians who were active from 1989 to 1993. They were known for their weekly television program shown on Canal+ Belgique, and various disks.

Les Snuls were famous for their guest presenters, mostly old ladies who didn't know they were part of a spoof, also not knowing their lines or the topics of the show.
