La petite vie

The tales of "La petite vie," an engaging sketch and television series, center on an enigmatic pair simply referred to as Pôpa and Môman—a Quebecois term for "pa" and "ma." The sketch will be long remembered for its innovative pillow talk scenes, featuring beds comically arranged in an upright position, allowing the actors—although seemingly supine—to stand tall, making themselves clearly visible to the audience in the theater. This unique twist was maintained in the sitcom, where the surreal context elevated its humor to new heights. Typically, the sketch spotlighted only the couple; however, the sitcom expanded its canvas to introduce an extensive array of relatives, crafting a caricature of a Quebecois working-class family—a bizarre yet undeniably charming portrait.
