Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A British comedy sketch show that was widely popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s, French and Saunders was given one of the highest budgets in BBC history to create detailed spoofs and satires of popular culture, movies, celebrities and art. The duo continue to film holiday specials for the BBC, and both have been successful starring in their own shows. French went on to star in The Vicar of Dibley. Saunders won a BAFTA, an Emmy Award and international acclaim for writing and playing the lead role of Edina Monsoon in Absolutely Fabulous, which led to her minor cameo roles in the American sitcoms Roseanne and Friends. | |

Laugh Track | |
| French and Saunders / int_224c9aef | comment |
Laugh Track: A sketch (featuring Dame Helen Mirren and Julia Sawalha) parodying sitcoms had the incessant laugh track constantly interrupting the already terrible punchlines, ruining the timing of the actors by cutting them off when they were speaking, until they got annoyed and walked off the sketch. | |

Lampshade Hanging: In the Gone with the Wind parody, they talk about how bad Scarlett's accent is. | |

| French and Saunders / int_9c379ef0 | comment |
Cross-Cast Role: Many of the parodies involve Dawn and/or Jen playing male characters, for example Dawn as Gandalf and Jen as Frodo; Dawn as Obi-Wan, Jen as Qui-Gon; or Dawn as Slash, Jen as Axl. | |
