La Petite Vie

La Petite Vie was first a stage sketch of the comedy duo Ding et Dong, formed by Claude Meunier and Serge Thriault, and later a hit Quebec television sitcom from 1993 to 1999. The stories of La Petite Vie, sketch and television show, revolve around the strange couple simply known as Ppa and Mman (Quebec Joual for dad and mom). The sketch was memorable for the pillow talk scenes with the beds comically placed straight up so the actors, seemingly laid on the bed but still standing, would be clearly visible to the theater public. This would be kept in the sitcom, where the context made it even more surreal. While the sketch only featured the couple, the sitcom introduced a vast array of relatives, creating a caricature of the Quebecois working class family, a very bizarre but endearing one. An episode of La Petite Vie holds the Guinness World Record for the highest market share ever achieved by a single television program.
