Two French chaos agents weaponize dad jokes against prime time television. Resistance is futile.
For the third time, Palmashow is taking over prime time, led by the irresistible Grégoire Ludig and David Marsais. The program features sketches, parodies, and 100% original "very bad jokes," as well as a fictional segment where the duo is at the top of their game. Throughout the evening, stars from the comedy scene and actors will make surprise appearances. Florence Foresti, Christophe Lambert, Alex Lutz, and Kyan Khojandi have all joined in on the fun with good humor.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Palmashow's prime time specials represent a rare victory for alternative French comedy breaking into mainstream TF1 broadcasting, traditionally dominated by safer variety formats.
The 'very bad jokes' format became so iconic that Ludig and Marsais later built entire live tours around audience anticipation of deliberately terrible punchlines.
