2 minutes du peuple
0is a series of two-minute radio sketches, created in 1990 and recorded by Quebec Canadian comedian François Pérusse.
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. From 1996 to 2012 they were also regularly broadcast on French-speaking radio stations: in Belgium on Joker FM, in France in particular on Europe 2 and Rire et Chansons and in Switzerland on Couleur 3.
In total, more than 3000 episodes were made between 1990 and 1996. In 2016 François Pérusse announced the end of 2 Minutes of People and instead launched Pérusse Express, a similar concept but more focused on current events. However, after this date episodes of 2 Minutes have been released occasionally, as during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. 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. The absurd humour of the capsules is mainly based on a huge amount of puns, nonsense, and trick or treating. The vast majority of episodes are almost independent of each other, but have recurrent characters. They feature scenes from everyday life, songs or parodies of television shows such as The X-Files, ER, Columbo, and and films etc.
Over the years, the series attained cult status in Quebec and Europe. It has won several awards (seven Félix, six Olivier, a Juno and several Golden Ribbons), has been adapted into a TV series ("La serie du peuple") and the albums made from it have sold over 2 million copies.
