2 minutes du peuple

[1][2] These approximately 2 minute sketches were initially broadcast in Quebec on the show Yé trop d'bonneheure on CKOI-FM before airing on CHOE-FM, CPIC-FM or Énergie.

The sketches of 2 Minutes of People - called 'capsules' by their author - are recognisable by the acceleration that Pérusse applies to his voice to interpret the different characters, which gives a lively and comic effect without time outs.

They feature scenes from everyday life, songs or parodies of television shows such as The X-Files, ER, Columbo, and Ça se discute and films etc.

[5] The 'capsules' of 2 minutes of people form a succession of independent sketches that deal with various subjects (everyday life, news, animals, telephone canvassers or advertising) but which can also form a mini-series on a specific theme (for example historical figures such as Jacques Cartier, Ludwig van Beethoven, Louis XIV, Thomas Edison or the series on musical instruments) and even parodies of games, radio and TV programmes (especially debates and talk shows or variety shows as well as television series such as the X-Files, ER and Columbo) and finally humorous songs.

There are a few recurring characters like Doctor Malcolm, Inspector Bocolon (a parody of Inspector Columbo), Krikett the super cop (capsule "Action Movie" and "Police Investigations"), "the guy who shops by telephone", Jean-Charles, or even duos: Roger and Caroline, Fux Molder and Dana Scully (X Files of the People), the apprentice and the boss, the couple of the "Slangster House" or a couple who is at home or going out on the town.
