The humor of character names

I only watched it yesterday, because it was subtitled in Chinese, so I didn't understand the humor, but the comment made by this netizen Tsuki made people realize it.

Astérix et Obélix 2: Mission Cléopatre (Cleopatra’s mission), should be the most expensive film in the history of European cinema, adapted from the most famous French comic "The Adventures of Astérix et Obélix." The French film I admire the most, whether it is the production of the film or the cast is top-notch. It is humorous and funny and even hears a standard Mandarin "Let you see and see the benefits of our Roman Kung Fu!" But what I want to say today is not Not these, but the names of the supporting characters in it. My mother once said to me that "every line and every shot in the movie has its own meaning." By extension, the names of the characters are the same:

Otis, I believe everyone is not unfamiliar with this word, almost all public places , The elevators of the enterprise unit are all this brand, and he strongly recommended his invention "Sansefforceur (Mr. Labor Saving, I translate it like this.)" to his boss as soon as he appeared on the scene. What is its use? He said: J'ai pensé une sorte machine qui permettrait de monter au sommet de pyramide en fait. (Actually I am thinking of a machine that can reach the top of the pyramid.);

Itinéris, everyone still remember the one who led the people to strike Egyptian woman? She would say: "Vous avez 2 nouveaux messages (you have two new messages.), or you need to adjust the direction of your head to make it clear. I believe everyone has guessed it. Itinéris is a mobile communication under France Telecom before 2001. Brand (replaced by Orange after 2001);

Cartapus, the best spy in the Roman camp, can actually be disassembled into "Carte à puce" after careful consideration. The pronunciation is exactly the same as the name "chip".

Captain Anti-virus, Roman officer Céplus doesn't remember anyone's name. He likes to think of what he is called. But Anti-virus has to tell him his name, but he gets stuck in a miserable way. Who wants him to fight against the virus?


In addition, Monica Bellucci is really beautiful.
