** Gaspard and Balthazar, deep country perverts who are generally well-meaning but struggling hard socially.

*DisguisedInDrag: The pair often plays their own female BitCharacters, notably Nathalie and Mélanie.
** In-universe, David’s gay characters tend to be really into dresses.
** In-universe in ‘’Les Clubs’’, in which two guys badly dress as women to sneak into a lingerie sale in hopes to see them being tried on.

*EggsBreadMilkSquick: In ‘’Quand on est dans les bouchons’’[[note]]When you’re stuck in traffic[[/note]].
→ ‘’’Greg, seething as cars honk everywhere:’’’ Sometimes I understand guys who go home, beat their kids and rape their wife.
*EveryoneHasStandards: Even Greg and David have jokes they won’t make, and Kad Merad uses this in ‘’La Proposition’’[[note]]The Offer[[/note]] to get out of a cameo, by offering to play a “drooling r*tard who farts’’.
*ExecutiveMeddling: Here, government meddling: ‘’Le Cinéma Réglementé’’[[note]]RegulatedCinema[[/note]] is entirely about taking classic tropes and making them politically correct, such as replacing a film noir detective’s whisky with orange juice, or not blowing up a wall during a heist because it’s load-bearing.
*FakeNationality: In ‘’Le Centre Commercial’’[[note]]The Mall[[/note]], two standholders put on a Corsican accent and call each other Corsican names (that they forget to answer to) to sell Corsican products better. Except it was Savoy products that day.
*FailedASpotCheck: Frequent in the Michel and Francis skits, for example when they’re doctors asking a guy in a wheelchair to step on a scale, or a blind woman to read the letters on the wall.
→ ‘’’Michel:’’’ Can you read that?
→ ‘’’Blind woman:’’’ … No.

*JerkWithAHeartOfGold: A staple of the duo. Even the most unlikeable strawman characters can give their skit a happy ending; for example, the truckers in ‘’Quand on est camionneur’’[[note]]When’re you’re trucker[[/note]] are racist, homophobic hicks and perverts, but they’re good with kids and help a lost one reunite with his mom.
*LineOfSightName: To get into a fancy restaurant, David gave the names “Mr Rolex” and “Mr Swatch”.
*MistakenForGay: The first part of Les Internets[[note]]The Internets[[/note]] is caused because a tweet claiming David and Greg are secretly in a relationship goes viral.
**Given that the pair present as HeterosexualLifePartners, this is pretty much a running gag.

*StageMom: Both of the parents in the parody of The Voice Kids.
* TakeThat: No one is spared when they get into political parodies:
** The Right-wingers are rich lecherous assholes and a number of them are white-collar criminals.
** The Left-wingers are the exact same, just stick-in-the-muds about it.
** The Communists are deeply out of touch and no one cares about them.
** The Far right are drunkards and hypocrites on top of the mass of unabashed discrimination.

** The new Centrists are business school graduates and possibly robots.
*RefugeInAudacity: In ‘’C’est pour un sketch’’[[note]]It’s for a skit[[/note]], the pair quickly realizes that claiming that they’re shooting a skit allows them to get away with anything.
*ThoseTwoGuys: More like ThoseTwoGuys, the show.
*UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: A staple. The characters of their skits are seldom pleasant people, though some go through surprisingly touching developments.
*WitchDoctor: Nathalie and Mélanie in ‘’Les Médecines Parallèles’’[[note]]Parallel Medicine[[/note]]. Of course, they don’t know anything about medicine or plants.
*YeOldeButcheredEnglish: Attempted in ‘’Quand on est au restaurant de luxe’’[[note]]When you’re at a fancy restaurant[[/note]] because “it’s all a matter of attitude”.
