Les Minikeums was a French morning and afternoon kids show with puppets, the first iteration of which started airing in 1993 on the public channel France 3. Some of the puppeteers and the workshop of Alain Duverne (which made the puppets) also worked on TF1's Le Bébête Show and Canal+'s Les Guignols de l'Info.Its hosts were a cast of wacky characters the likeness and names of which were based on show business and sport celebrities. They provide comedic skits, parodies of pop culture franchises and full-fledged adventures in short films, as well as songs and music videos, with Work Com sketches at its core.While its rival show from 1993 to 1997, the Club Dorothée, was credited for massively bringing animes and tokusatsu in France, this one used to broadcast of some of the finest Western Animation series of The '80s and The '90s with the likes of some Nicktoons, the DC Animated Universe, Animaniacs and more. It also used to broadcast a lot of French and Canadian coproduction animated series (such as The Adventures of Tintin), as well as a number of animes (basically the most prominent ones that the Club Dorothée didn't own the rights to, most notably from World Masterpiece Theater, and with a tighter control on violent content than the Club Dorothée).The show's first iteration ran from 1993 to 2000. France 3 youth programs head manager Eve Baron then decided, despite great audience ratings, to "modernize" the show at the Turn of the Millennium, renaming it MNK, reducing the lineup to 6 puppets, suppressing the comedic skits and replacing the colorful and practical sets with a grey futuristic city background in CGI. Audience ratings predictably plummeted and the show was cancelled in 2002.The first iteration of the show is still looked at fondly by many French adults who are nostalgic of their childhood in The '90s. So much so that special event reruns of it, titled Génération Minikeums, had much success, which led to a revival of the show in December 2017 on France 4, with a new lineup based on celebrities of The New '10s and The New '20s. The revival show was quietly cancelled in 2021 amidst the restructuring of France 4 and the sketches that were uploaded on the official YouTube channel were all removed. | |

For the 2010s revival lineup: Keva (actor/comedian Kev Adams), Riha (Rihanna), Pog (soccer player Paul Pogba), Loulou (singer/actress Louane), Normy (web video creator Norman Thavaud) and Nomar (soccer player Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior). | |

Mythology Gag: Some lyrics of the group's songs come from songs of the 1990s Minikeums. In one skit, Keva is seen reading L'Almanakeum◊, an almanac book that was part of invokedThe Merch of the 1990s show. The cover features the old show's logo, Coco, Nag, Josy and the Bogoss Five band. | |

Parental Bonus | |
| Les Minikeums / int_86daf505 | comment |
Parental Bonus: The celebrities that were parodied by the puppets were often more well-known by the parents of the kids who watched the show than by the actual target audience itself, as many of those people ran shows that weren't really targeted at kids when the show was airing in the '90s. But since so many of them also had long careers even afterwards, most people in the target audience later did catch on anyway. However, this is sometimes brought up as the reason why the show was eventually cancelled, because some of those people became increasingly irrelevant by the late '90s-early 2000s when the show ended. | |

Cranial Eruption | |
| Les Minikeums / int_914f06af | comment |
Cranial Eruption: Keva often ends up with these whenever he gets hurt, per his Butt-Monkey status. In one skit, Keva ends up with one after a blindfolded Normy walked into a chalkboard and ended up unknowingly knocking Keva down with it. In another, he also received one after a box was thrown on his head by Normy's robot mailbox. | |

Contrasting Replacement Character | |
| Les Minikeums / int_ae0e2472 | comment |
Contrasting Replacement Character: The new characters are teens who go to school instead of office workers, but carry some of the older cast's wacky traits. Keva is as jolly, mischievous and situationally dumb as Coco, but he's overall nicer. Loulou is the new singing blond girl, but she's smarter than Vaness was and doesn't seem to have a boyfriend, whereas Vaness had Jojo back then. Normy is the new laid back klutz, and he's a reasonably responsible teen instead of an office slacker like Nag was, and he's more science-oriented. Riha cares a lot about her appearance like Diva used to, but she's neither bossy nor The Diva. Pog is based on a famous French soccer player of the national team and world champion (Paul Pogba) like Zidou was (Zinedine Zidane), but appears more frequently than the latter (who was a Sixth Ranger in the original show in 1999, after France won the FIFA World Cup in 1998). Pog doesn't have a Marseille accent unlike Zidou, and was actually added before France won the World Cup for the second time in 2018. The team's mascot is a blue dog-like creature (Hirsute) instead of a brown koala (Léon). | |

Younger and Hipper | |
| Les Minikeums / int_d80a8085 | comment |
Younger and Hipper: The 2010s celebrities the revival show's puppets are modelled after are younger than the 1990s celebrities imitated by the original show's puppets were back in the day, and the target demographic audience of most of said 2010s celebrities is younger as well. Until they reached a certain age or were told by adults, kids who grew up in the 1990s couldn't guess who most of the original generation Minikeums were modelled after with maybe the exception of Gérard Depardieu and Zinedine Zidane, while the likes of Kev Adams and Norman Thavaud are well known by late 2010s kids. Also, Keva and Normy being respectively based on the (currently) most popular comedic actor among children and teens and a web video creator who's also popular among the same demographic instead of old-school actors or TV hosts speaks volumes about the show wanting to appeal to nowadays' French youth. | |
