In short: raclette season is open, and with it the videos that make us laugh because they ring true. Here is our selection of the best funny raclette videos, to share with that cousin who always buys 3 kilos of cheese for two.
Why raclette makes us laugh so much
Raclette is probably the only meal with its own unwritten rules, its rivalries (“who took my pan?”), its proudly owned excesses and its own vocabulary. Every year you find the same characters: the one who overloads their pan, the one who burns everything, the one who eats “just two potatoes” and ends up eating eleven. Content creators have figured it out, and raclette season has become a comedy season in its own right.
1. The grand return of the grill
Every fall, it’s the same ritual: the grill comes out of the cupboard like a star making a comeback. The most organized people already cleaned it in March. The rest discover in October that there’s still a layer of last year’s cheese stuck on it.

2. Three kilos for two: tradition is respected
The question of quantities has divided families for generations. For the record, the official answer is 200 to 250 g per adult. The real answer, everybody knows.

For those who still want the real answer: how much cheese per person.

4. The “caniclette”: raclette in the middle of a heat wave
There is a category of enthusiasts for whom raclette has no season. Even at 35 °C. Especially at 35 °C.
