comment
Les 2 Minutes du Peuple ("The 2 Minutes of the People") is a series of comedic radio skits by Quebecois humorist François Pérusse. Its Quebec French version debuted on radio in 1990, and its French version in 1996. In Europe they ended in 2012, while in Québec they "ended" in 2016, only to be followed by a virtually identical Spiritual Successor called "Pérusse Express" (which slightly focuses more on news both local and worldwide).Each skit is about two-minutes long, and tackles subjects such as everyday situations, the life of historical characters, current events, and parodies of TV shows, game shows, songs, and celebrities. The series dialogue is a never-ending Hurricane of Puns mixed with some Surreal Humor, and is most remembered for its sped-up high-pitched voices, which enforced its Rapid-Fire Comedy.Pérusse has also produced several albums called "L'Album du Peuple" ("The People's Album"). They're a compilation of various radio sketches remixed by the author, sometimes they're slightly longer, shorter, or different. The albums also contain funny songs. He has also created a few TV shows in Quebec.

Self-Plagiarism: Pérusse regularly reuses jokes or plots in Europe and his native Québec. Sometimes a joke that was used years ago will resurface. Pérusse himself mentioned that after a few decades of producing content eventually you run out of original puns.

Subliminal Seduction: Parodied with the Guy Who Shops who calls his cellphone service provider to cancel his mobile phone package. The employee on the line puts him on hold, with the "phone hold" music just being "la-la-laaaas" sung by Pérusse with random "don't cancel your phone service or you're an asshole" messages thrown in with no subtlety.

My Friends... and Zoidberg: The CEO of Zero Music (the real life label that publishes the Albums du Peuple) makes an appearance in a meta sketch to promote the upcoming Pirate Album (released between the fifth and sixth tomes). He mentions that François Pérusse is one of the most pirated artist in the French-speaking world, with his sketches being downloaded in Quebec, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Cameroon and Otterburn Park note  A town of around 8000 people in Quebec.

Pay Evil unto Evil: Played for Laugh; In "Columbo du Peuple", most murders will open with the future victim abusing their would-be assassins to ludicrous extreme, making it blatantly obvious who will get killed and why. Most memorably, one story opens with a woman insulting her husband before informing him she is going out with another richer man, that she cheated on him with all his friends and enemies as well as his boss, the butcher and pretty much everyone else, she thinks he has a small penis, she damaged his car, she doesn't want to do it tonight because she got a headache, and she regrets taking this Life Assurance that'll grant him 15 million dollars when she'll die. Cue the narrator daring us to guess who will die in this story.

Artificial Limbs: One guy who got his legs bitten off by a literal Mama Bear asks General Electric to make him prosthetic limbs. Since he only has 1000$ to spare the only thing he can buy is two refrigerators, so they graft them to him. Right after that the guy falls down a flight of stairs and fractures his crisper drawer and icemaking machine.

Auto-Doc: A Québec sketch features a guy getting a rectum exam from one of them, everything is fine at first until the Autodoc goes haywire and gives him several more. A French sketch has a prototype machine made to simulate a real doctor: the machine just tells you to take some pills and leave it alone so it can play golf.

Teleporter Accident: Captain Kirk suffers two of them in the Star Trek parodies.

In the second only his upper half is teleported away while the legs stay behind, and they kick Scotty's ass as punishment for messing up the teleportation.

comment
Government Agency of Fiction: Whenever a government ministry is mentioned, it's usually a mix of normal ministerial stuff like "environment" or "tourism" mixed with something absurd like "motel that went bankrupt 5 years ago". Sometimes it's just the absurd stuff. For instance, a fake Public Service Announcement against texting and driving is a message of the Ministry of Poof Right in the Phone Pole. A meeting of the Liberal Party of Québec involves various ministers getting in trouble like the Minister of Natural Resources, Boring Rocks and Dandelion Fluff or the Minister of Agriculture, Education, Compulsive Gambling and Warts Stuff.

Paper-Thin Disguise: In one of the "Columbo du Peuple" segments, the murderer somehow manages to disguise his wife's corpse as a phone. It actually seems to work, but backfires when Columbo finds the actual phone in his trash can and presumes it to be his wife, leaving the murderer unable to deny it without admitting the actual corpse isn't the real phone.

Body Horror: Played for Laughs in the "radio communautaire" sketches, where the incompetent host presents musicians who suffered some outlandish absurd accidents that damaged their bodies. Examples include Tata Boutlamine, an African pianist who plays with only one finger following a coffee grinder accident, Half-a-Papa-Joe, a blues singer who sawed himself in half vertically in a sawmill accident and now can only sings half of his lyrics and Adélbert Gadbois, who sings without a jaw after he confused a power saw with a toothbrush. Back when he was alive, Michael Jackson was the butt of jokes where he falls apart or is rotting alive. Captain Kirk suffers a Teleporter Accident in a Star Trek parody. He's apparently been inverted and he can only mumble, but McCoy advises him not too out of fear he'll damage his boots trying to speak. Spock jokes that he's not Captain Kirk anymore but Kirkptain Ki. One episode of a talk show features the story of a woman who suffered various unfortunate accidents and eventually had her nervous system amputated, and even her intuition had to be amputated at some point. She's supposed to visit the show's host soon, someone will bring her in inside a small cardboard box. . In Tome 5 there are baseball commentators who wish good luck to the cousin of one player who's about to have his rib cage surgically removed. There's also a mention of a player's grandmother having a rare disease called a "cistite" where you burp, fart and shit by both ends. Many of the patients in the Hospital Soap Opera sketches have these kind of issues. As always, it's Played for Laughs.

Author Appeal: Pérusse puts in a lots of references to things he likes in his sketches, like hockey, the music industry, Star Trek, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones... He was fascinated by advertising from a young age, and would make parody ads for fun when he was little. One of his first claim to fame was doing advertisement for an album by a Québec singer, and several of his sketches feature joke advertisements. With his fame from the Deux Minutes du Peuple he's been hired by real companies to make real advertisements. Criticisms of the overexposure of children to sexually-loaded or otherwise unwholesome content crop up in more recent works, around the time François Pérusse became a father in real life. Cracks at extended warranties pop up often, apparently Pérusse considers them a scam.

He eventually reveals that he doesn't bite people in the neck but in the ass, and the whole thing is a misunderstanding due to the Romanian accent of witnesses that Bram Stoker interviewed (The French word for "neck" ("cou") is phonetically close to the French word for "ass" ("cul")).

At the end of the segment, Columbo reveals the phone was still recording at that point and so he heard everything. One sketch involving a news team covering an union strike has the lead reporter drop this gem, unaware he's already on air.

Exactly What I Meant to Say: When his boat is leaving, Cartier orders to "crap off", prompting one of the crewmembers to try to correct him by saying it's "cast off". Turns out he really did mean that- he was ordering the toilets' evacuation.

Mistaken for Racist: In one of the sketches parodying L'amour est dans le pré note  A romantic reality TV show where city women visit young bachelor farmers hoping to fall in love with them a woman of Asian origins complain that the farmer always talk about her "yellow butt" ("Derrière jaune" in French). The farmer explains that he's not talking about her yellow butt but about his "John Deer" tractor ("John Deer" and "derrière jaune" are relatively close phonetically in Quebec French).

comment
Actually Pretty Funny: There is this sketch where a thief contacts the director of the Caisse de Dépôt et Placements du Québec Quebec Deposit and Investment Fund via phone in the middle of the night and gloats about how he stole an unspecified large amount of money. The director protests that this is the "deposit fund" belonging to average joes, and the thief replies it looks more like a "withdrawal fund" right now, which makes both guys laugh. Régis Labeaume (current mayor of Québec City as of November 2020) finds out Elvis Presley's hiding spot to convince him to come play in a concert in Québec City. Elvis is originally pretty pissed, but when Régis starts cracking puns on Elvis' songs and old age, Elvis starts cracking some too. Gilles Micro's interview with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi starts off with this, and the skit turns into both interviewer and intervewee doing silly wordplay with Yogi's name, transcendental meditation and other subjects to each's delight.

Artistic License – Law Enforcement: A guy who makes hotdogs in a Costco applies for a job at the FBI, which is described as a "secret service" handling foreign intelligence, rather than a federal police force. The FBI agent doing the job interview also mentions they suspect Vladimir Putin to be creating a new KGB. This is redundant, since the Russian Federation already has a successor to the KGB, the FSB. And there's no way a FBI agent would just tell that to a potential recruit. The recruiter does mention that you need prior experience with intelligence or police work, or you start really from the bottom of the ladder. In reality you need both prior experience and a college degree. And to top it all off the recruiter then tells the guy they have a "small" case they could give him involving an Al-Qaeda front operating in Washington D.C.

Régis Labeaume (the current mayor of Québec City as of November 2020) is one, since he "knows everything" (it's supposed to be a Take That!, calling him a Know-Nothing Know-It-All). He uses his omniscience to know that Elvis Lives, and where he's hiding, so he can invite him to perform in a concert in Québec with Paul McCartney.

comment
For Inconvenience, Press "1": Used twice with insurance company phone directories. One of them has normal "for X, press Y" options and ends with "for a reclamation, get lost" Context in original French For these kind of phone directories, "press one" would be explained as "faites-le un", literally "do the one". "Get Lost" in the original context was "Faites de l'air" (literally "do some air") which has the same connotation. Notice the use of the verb "faites" (the verb "to do", conjugated in the imperative second person plural) in both cases. as its final option. The other one has absurd options like "for an imbroglio, press 1, for a huge fuckup, press 2, for a goddamn mess, press 3".

Separated by a Common Language: Some skits have French and French Canadian versions. "Vive l'amour" ("Celebrate Love", 3 minutes of as many insults as the singer can cram in) is remarkable in that it illustrates the profound differences in themes in both countries: the French ones are scatological or sexual, the French Canadian ones sounds (to the French) like they came from a playground or a church inventory.

What You Are in the Dark: The hosts of the Apicerie Show Within a Show secretely put a microphone on the collar of a lady serving free samples at a grocery store. Everytime a customer declines a free sample she mutters insults under her breath towards them.

Toxic, Inc.
 Les 2 Minutes du Peuple (Radio) / int_b035720c
comment
Toxic, Inc.: "Associated Devils And Destructive For The Humanity Incorporated" is a polluting company trying to buy advertising to get a better public image. They take this trope to a ridiculous extreme. The company manufactures something that sounds like "Aydersgilf", which is radioactive, not biodegradable, cancer-inducing, completely useless and can eventually blow up in your face and clone your credit card. A conference on climate change and the environment is financed by a company called ToxoPro, manufacturer of all kinds of toxic wastes. The conference speaker even has to say their slogan.

Fate Worse than Death: An in-universe joke involves two torture rooms in Hell, one has you Buried Alive in raw sewage for an hour, after which they take you out, set fire to your ballsack and you have to extinguish it with a crowbar, after which you're plunged in the sewage again, rinse and repeat. The other room has you be forced to listen to a Dreadful Musician from a lousy cocktail lounge who plays (poorly) a cheap electronic organ. Everyone who goes to Hell chooses the former room.

Régis Labeaume (the current mayor of Québec City as of November 2020) is one, since he "knows everything" (it's supposed to be a Take That!, calling him a Know-Nothing Know-It-All). He uses his omniscience to know that Elvis Lives, and where he's hiding, so he can invite him to perform in a concert in Québec with Paul McCartney.

Elvis Lives: Used a few times. In one sketch he's a part of a concert (broadcasting live from his hiding spot to do back vocals) at the Centre Bell in Montréal, where a little-known singer is performing on-stage as the main act, accompanied by the Spice Girls in the nude, Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson who resurrects on stage. In another Régis Labeaume (mayor of Québec City) manages to somehow guess his hiding spot, and talks him into performing in Québec City with Paul McCartney.

Berserk Button: Frédéric Fif note A homophobic slur for a gay man in Quebec French subverts this in a "customer-calling-their-lawyer" sketch. In a bar someone told him "Tasse-toi le fif!" ("Get out of the way, [the] faggot!"). Frédéric Fif punched him (accidentally killing him, hence the need for a lawyer) and told his lawyer that it wasn't "Fif" that offended him, but being called "Le" (lit. "The").

Ass Shove: One Blues singer featured on a "radio communautaire" English Community Radio is dying of some weird illness and had an harmonica installed in his ass so he can keep playing since he can't play normally anymore.

A radio ad for a bakery, "The Bakery Behind My House", is about visiting an old lady's house so she puts pastries in your behi-. Another ad for a lousy kindergarten brags that their staff watch TV while your toddlers shove crayons up their asses. There's an interview where Jean Charest (the former Prime Minister of Québec) is on TV and (eventually) gets into a brawl with the host and somehow attempts to fight by shoving his fingers in the other guy's ass.

Self-Deprecation: One sketch features a "has-been" singer who makes lame and repetitive songs, we get to hear them and they're basically remixed versions of Assis-sur mon tracteur, a song Pérusse made for the 6th Album du Peuple. Characters will sometimes break the fourth wall to comment on the quality of their puns and jokes. Pérusse loves to crack jokes at his own expense, both in his capsules and in real life. In one sketch for instance the characters ask if the one voicing them is "that huge moron" (all of Pérusse's characters are voiced by him).

 Les 2 Minutes du Peuple (Radio) / int_d4e9de59
comment
Dreadful Musician: A common source of humor, especially in the "community radio" sketches. Pérusse is a big fan of music and has background as a musician and Word of God is that a lot of it is inspired by his younger days when he was much less competent. A recurring character is the unnamed bar/lounge singer who plays in crummy loser establishments.

Bad Guy Bar

comment
Bad Guy Bar: A certain sketch revolves around a mild-mannered musician playing (poorly) in a vicious outlaw biker bar (where the background noises are constant burps, farts and punches). His first statement is an announcement to the owner of a "Harley-Davidson, who's fuel tank is decorated with a woman's sex, of which the two labias are slightly spread by the former's fingers" that his motorcycle had a 12-gauge shotgun shell fired at it. He goes on to play and is interrupted by a guy gently asking that he plays something better or get lost. The musician tells him "eat shit, fat sack with the same family name". Immediately, without skipping a beat, the background noises is replaced by harps playing, and the musician wonders "why am I floating on a cloud with these winged people?"

Everything Is an Instrument: A lot of the musicians that are featured on the "radio communautaire" sketches play absurd instruments. One of them plays a drying machine (he literally just bangs on his machine, it's as bad as it sounds), another just hums songs through his nose on some street corner.

The "Fun" in "Funeral": So many! One funeral had the dead man's best friend sings an upbeat silly song to cheer up everyone which only results in making people cry and the priest eventually steps in and asks him to go sit back in the pews. And there's another one where the family's artist recites a serious poem, and the audience asks for more but the only other material he has is a vulgar poem. Hilarity Ensues.

Death Course: Exaggerated for comedy in the "film d'action" segment, where the hero is asked to stop a madman from blowing up the planet. In order to reach said villain, he has to first swim naked in a dangerously swirly torrent filled with sharks, then go hanged to a helicopter by one hair with only a small stick as his weapon to wander in a radioactive field filled with T-Rex and terrorists armed with machine guns until he reaches a fortified strongbox requiring a ridiculously complicated code and disarms an atomic bomb about to blow up in 10 seconds, which he can only stop by cutting one of the 450 multi-colored wires.

comment
Artistic License – Space: An European sketch involving the mission control for a Mars probe (correctly) states that the distance between Mars and the sun is around 230 000 000 kilometers. One of the astronomers asks if this means the probe won't risk being attracted into the Sun's orbit. In practice it's surprisingly hard to crash something into the Sun, since this would require cancelling a lot of orbital velocity (around 30 km/s if you're in Earth's orbit), and any professional astronomer would know this. Another European sketch features a malfunctioning space shuttle drifting away from the Earth. It's impossible to just "drift" away from Earth unless you deliberately fire up your engines to accelerate in the prograde direction.

Three seconds later, he rips the part of the map showing Australia. There's this guy who's convinced that his wife is cheating on him. "There's somebody behind this" he says out loud before going to pick up the phonebook for a Private Detective's phone number. It turns out there's really someone hiding behind the phonebook who says hi in a ridiculous high-pitched voice.

Groin Attack: There is this memorable skit in the 7th album where a guy wearing a fancy tuxedo accidentally zips himself in the scrotum and his buddy has to help him out by moving his dick out of the way with his mouth. It turns out to be an elaborate plot to save himself some money by getting his dick sucked for free by a friend instead of for 200$ by a prostitute. In an European police sketch, the Cowboy Cop interrogates an accomplice by squeezing his balls, and the accomplice then talks in a very high-pitched tone. One In-Universe joke told by the Dreadful Musician who works in bars involve a torture in Hell where demons set fire to your ballsack and you need to extinguish it with a crowbar. Said torture is the merciful alternative to the other torture offered in Hell - being in a room with a bar musician who plays a mini-organ.

They turn out the radio and it turns the gruesome story is a pregnant woman ate disgusting food combinations like chewing gum dipped in salad dressing or dill pickles and bananas.

Trrrilling Rrrs: The George Brassens expy in "Chanson grivoise" does this, as the real Brassens sometimes did it in his own songs.

"Associated Devils And Destructive For The Humanity Incorporated" is a polluting company trying to buy advertising to get a better public image. They take this trope to a ridiculous extreme. The company manufactures something that sounds like "Aydersgilf", which is radioactive, not biodegradable, cancer-inducing, completely useless and can eventually blow up in your face and clone your credit card.

An European sketch involving the mission control for a Mars probe (correctly) states that the distance between Mars and the sun is around 230 000 000 kilometers. One of the astronomers asks if this means the probe won't risk being attracted into the Sun's orbit. In practice it's surprisingly hard to crash something into the Sun, since this would require cancelling a lot of orbital velocity (around 30 km/s if you're in Earth's orbit), and any professional astronomer would know this.
