Patof was a beloved clown character created and played by Jacques Desrosiers on Québécois children's television in the 1970s, notably on the TVA series Patofville. With his red nose, bowler hat and cheery greetings, he became a fixture of French-Canadian childhood and later appeared in records, comics and reruns. Clips of his voice have resurfaced online as nostalgic meme audio, where a simple 'bonjour' from Patof is reused far outside its original context as a wholesome, retro greeting sound.

A cheerful 'bonjour Patof' voice clip taken from the classic Québécois children's TV character, used as a friendly French greeting in memes and edits.
This is a warm, theatrical greeting spoken in French — 'Bonjour, Patof' — delivered in the friendly, larger-than-life voice of a vintage television clown. The delivery is bright and welcoming, with that unmistakable old-school children's TV charm. At around 30 seconds, the clip has a little musical colour around the voice, giving it the feel of an opening or entrance moment. Listeners who grew up with francophone TV instantly recognise the tone, and for everyone else it works purely as an exaggerated, happy hello that lands like a punchline.
