I fear you, but I respect you…
Marc Labrèche, who hadn’t been on social media until recently, is now online, and to fans’ great delight he’s arrived with a pre-Christmas surprise: a little holiday gift before the season begins.
Shoot your scoop
Have you seen something? Discretion guaranteed.
In a first video posted to his account, Labrèche lays out the broad strokes of what he hopes to offer on the platform. The tone is set from the outset: an opening that is as entertaining as it is fun.
«(…) Yes, I’m behind the wheel of my car, it’s incredible! I love driving, I love high-performance driving, I’ve always enjoyed driving, sportily. Right now, I’m stopped (…) At the moment, I am… Well, I’m doing the Sands Rally, yeah, really, what an experience. I’m doing the Sands Rally, I’m in the Sinai Desert. If I trust what I see in my rear-view mirrors, I think I’m still in the lead, so I’m pretty happy to win this race, but that isn’t the point of my message today. It was simply to tell you that me and my friends wanted to commit and offer you little Advent sketches. Yes, little Advent sketches like this calendar we open with chocolates before Christmas. Ah, Christmas, what a wonderful holiday! So we’ve prepared this for you. It’s four sketches that will unfold like this from today through December 25, isn’t that sweet (…) just for the sake of it and to wish you a very, very, very Merry Christmas, a very, very, very beautiful year, yes, oh yes, oh yes, ah yes, and finally well keep thriving. You are what Quebec does best, yes, I’m afraid of you, I fear you, but I respect you», he declares, true to his inimitable sense of humor.
A Glimpse of the Caricature, Delivered with All the Sharpness He’s Known For
I suck Richard Martineau’s toes.
From his very first video, Labrèche sets the tone, and not halfway. His inaugural sketch playfully mocks Sophie Durocher by caricaturing her show Dans le blanc des yeux, renamed for the occasion Dans le blanc, le rouge et le vert des yeux. A deliberate nod to Christmas colors… and a debut that promises a deliciously biting series.
There he skewers the host and journalist, as well as another personality, also playfully lampooned, Josélito Michaud.
«Well yes, Christmas, c*lice… Full video on my YouTube channel! The most beautiful and smallest Advent calendar for Québec’s favorites. Each day, Marc embodies two Québec personalities in an improbable meeting, filmed like a mini holiday sketch», reads the caption accompanying a first excerpt.
«I own it, there, you know. I went to a French school, I don’t cook, and I suck Richard Martineau’s toes», declares Marc in the role of Sophie Durocher.
A Warm Welcome: Audiences Are Already Won Over by This Comedy Santa Gift
While many online viewers have already reacted to these clips, and to this Advent calendar that’s decidedly more entertaining than a box of chocolates, Sophie Durocher herself has not yet commented on the caricature at the time of writing:
«I adore you, Marc Labrèche. At least you own it…»
«Ah… Sucking Richard Martineau’s toes… My dream!»
«So funny. We miss you, Marc Labrèche. Can’t wait to see you do sketches again.»
«So funny!! I love it! You’re always funny, a lot of talent, Mr. Labrèche!»
