| Le cœur a ses raisons | comment |
This comedy show originated from various skits in the French Canadian program Le Grand Blond avec un show sournois (The Big Blond with a Devious Show), which parodied various Soap Opera tropes through the lives of fictional archetypes of this kind of genre. The skits proved so popular that these characters finally got their very own TV series ; so was born Le cœur a ses raisons (The Heart Has Its Reasons).The show, which originally aired on TVA, is entirely dominated by Rule of Funny and is willingly trying to be absolutely terrible in terms of quality, in an hilarious way. Every single trope originating from soap operas is mercilessly parodied, although the creators confess that sometimes they failed to attain the degree of ridiculousness some actual soap opera shows possess.The show more than often verges on absurd humour, surrealism and postmodernism. However it also has its own plotlines and shocking twists, as strange as they may be, and many spectators actually grew to like the stereotypical characters. With three seasons, the show was cancelled after the incredible revelation of the series finale, due to lower ratings.See also the Character Sheet. | |

Macho Masochism | |
| Le cœur a ses raisons / int_1675f03d | comment |
Macho Masochism: Peter Malboro suffers from a rather extreme case of this trope. For example, he once refused to take a seat in a car running at high speed in order to prove his masculinity... by staying on the car's roof instead. | |

| Le cœur a ses raisons / int_21e5b9c7 | comment |
Failed a Spot Check: When Ashley arrives for a medical urgency related to Becky (she was about to give birth), she attempts to identify the victim by repeatedly looking at Becky and Brad. Even after Brad tries to nudge her towards Becky (who very obviously needs treatment), Ashley initially decides to treat Brad. | |

No Fourth Wall: The source of a boatload of gags. The characters are constantly commenting on how the series' special effects are superb (when they are absolutely pathetic), are aware of the series' soundtrack, bump into the cameras, etc. In the series finale, Clifford even goes out of the scene into the backstage, with Criquette protesting as it "destroys the illusion". | |

Credits Gag | |
| Le cœur a ses raisons / int_4af55b78 | comment |
Credits Gag: There are two In-Universe examples: In the first episodes of the series, the credits of news program Info Action 24/7 consists of an endless list of preposterous roles ("Bitter majorette sinking in alcoholism", "Helmet-less but nonetheless prudent cyclist", etc), all being performed by Ridge Taylor. The sole exception being "Mr Ridge Taylor is dressed by: his mother". The credits of Brett's medical drama (aptly named "Medical Drama") consist solely of the word "Credits" scrolling upwards. | |

Downer Ending: Parodied with both season one and season two's endings.

They are all alive for season two only for it to end with the Montgomery's mansion to be burned with everyone inside. Only for them and the mansion to be alright in season 3. | |

Flashback | |
| Le cœur a ses raisons / int_53c9fc92 | comment |
Flashback: Nearly every episode has at least one flashback. They begin with a bright white light and feature a distinct music that only plays during those. It, of course, is always played with, the characters are well aware of them and "gaze" at the flashbacks to trigger them. Ashley even claimed once that her eyes hurt because of the flashback's white light effects an put on sunglasses before the next flashback was triggered. One episode even has a Flashback Within a Flashback (that of course is lampshaded by Criquette within the first flashback). | |

Air-Vent Passageway : In the third episode of the show, Ashley, Brett and Peter want to leave the hospital as fast as possible. Having to chose between the door ("simple, efficient, probably infallible") and the air-vent passageway ("complicated, completely inefficient and potentially dangerous") they chose the latter. Worse, after that escape, they find themselves at the starting point and chose the air-vent again. | |

Orphaned Punchline | |
| Le cœur a ses raisons / int_74e2ef76 | comment |
Orphaned Punchline: In the second season, Britany goes on a seemingly hours-long rant about how she survived after being sucked in quicksand. We never hear anything she says except from the very end: "Finally, I gave birth in a submarine, and my fourth finger grew back!". A deleted scene from the same episode shows another sequence of the same kind, this time about an anecdote about dancing. The end of it? "And so my voice managed to open the space shuttle's landing gear, and my duck à l'orange was a success!" | |

Super Doc: Brett is a gynecologist, but is only seen performing actual gynecology once to help Criquette in her ridiculously easy childbirth. The rest of the time, he's considered to also be an expert in psychiatry, first aid, pneumology, open surgeries and God knows what else. | |

| Le cœur a ses raisons / int_8967e17f | comment |
Back from the Dead: One of the early exploits of the show was to kill off every single character in the first season's finale, only to see them resurrected in the second season. The shocking twist was actually that one character did die in the earthquake. The show pulled it off in a more classic way with Brittany and Brenda, who died in one season but returned in another through convoluted explanations. Granted, we had not really seen their respective death scenes per se. | |

Gag Dub | |
| Le cœur a ses raisons / int_9f240209 | comment |
Gag Dub: The show actually manages to be a gag dub of itself. There are two reasons for this; the first to stick with the traditional reputation of soap operas in Québec, the actors do not speak with a Quebecian accent but with a French one, since most of these shows are dubbed in France. The only character with a Canadian accent is Brad. Criquette tries to pull off a French accent and constantly fails at it, making some of her words unintelligible in the process (you have to speak French to understand how it's funny). Secondly, most of these shows are usually English ones, often badly translated. Therefore the writers of the show modify the wordings of the character's sentences in order to make them sound badly translated from English... although the characters do speak French in the first place. For example the characters always say "je vais quitter" (I'm going to break off) instead of "je vais partir" (I'm going to leave), which seems like a common bad translation of "I'm going to leave" where "to leave" can mean "to break off" or "to exit a place" depending on the context. | |

Who's on First?: When Ridge states that he wants to have a talk with Megan, she goes to look for "her" (despite clearly being the only person in the studio with that name). It takes several minutes for Ridge to get her to understand that he wants to talk to her specifically. Another such incident with Ridge occurs when he looks for Brenda in the Montgomerys' mansion, who states that she is here. Cue confusion as to whether she is "here" or "there". | |

Parental Neglect: From what we see during the show, Crystale was not interested in her kids at all if not downright dangerous. To name a few, she abandoned her daughter to be raised as a mare in a stables, sent them to the laundry room during their holidays pretending to be a beach vacation, tried to abandon them in the wild and gave them alcohol and cigarette while in the crib. Of course, everything is entirely Played for Laughs. | |

Scrabble Babble: Parodied in one scene where Criquette and Brett play together. Apparently, the "wqt", the "ffiffu", the "zzz" and the "txtxtx" all are nocturnal aquatic animals. Hmm. That being said, in a later episode, Becky's answering machine mentioned the wqt and gave the same definition than Criquette did when playing Scrabble, so it might be a real animal in the series' world. | |

Unexplained Recovery | |
| Le cœur a ses raisons / int_e5d8460d | comment |
Unexplained Recovery: How Brett got out of his coffin during the second season remains unseen. He even lampshades it (breaking the fourth wall in the process) by telling that if his life was a TV show, every detail of this spectacular evasion would be included in the DVD edition. Which wasn't even the case. | |

Evil Twin: Brad and Brenda both went to some extremes to get rid of their brother Brett. And yet in the finale they still go along. | |

Easily Forgiven | |

Easily Forgiven: Invoked. Ridge kidnaps Doug Doug, and attempts to murder Criquette. They are forgiven just by giving Brett flowers and candies, and a cranberry-scented candle for Criquette. | |

Clean, Pretty Childbirth | |
| Le cœur a ses raisons / int_f7fd81dd | comment |
Clean, Pretty Childbirth: There are two births on the show, both of which leave the mothers with their make up and hair flawless, their clothes (ans even shoes) on, and almost no pain: Becky just keeps saying in a monotone voice that she is in pain, and Criquette's baby literally springs out of her. | |

Buried Alive: Brett had to face this delicate situation in the show's second season. He got better, thanks. | |

Theme Naming | |

Theme Naming : The triplets Brad, Brett, and Brenda, obviously. This had led Epileptic Trees to consider Brock, Brooke, and Britanny as their possible estranged siblings. | |

| Le cœur a ses raisons / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: A whole truckload of them. Some examples: At the end of the first season, everybody gets hit by a woodbeam during the earthquake. Near the end of season 2, Ashley gets hit by another one just as she was reanimated. Brett comments that the beams really aren't sturdy. Brenda's champagne flutes in Attack in St Andrews "Maracas!" | |
