Groland(1992)

God save the Président

Groland is a French satirical news programme that airs on Canal+. The show parodies current events and media coverage through the lens of a fictional country called the Presipality of Groland. With absurdist humour and sharp social commentary, Groland deconstructs the conventions of traditional news broadcasts while skewering politics, celebrity culture, and everyday life. The programme blends sketch comedy with fake news segments, creating a surreal world where ridiculous logic prevails. Since its debut, Groland has become a cult favourite among French viewers for its irreverent take on journalism and its willingness to mock both public figures and the media apparatus itself. The show's anarchic energy and deadpan delivery make it essential viewing for anyone who enjoys intelligent comedy that challenges the status quo.
