The Bye Bye 2024 was watched by millions of Quebecers, not only for its moments of laughter and satire, but also for the many public figures who were highlighted in parody sketches.
This edition notably saw several figures from the Quebec scene be the targets of these parodies, with often hilarious and memorable imitations.
Among the notable victims, Sébastien Delorme was particularly targeted. The actor, known for his roles on the small screen and his public appearances, saw his videos of the year, where he showed himself posing in an exaggerated manner like a model, being diverted and transformed into humorous sketches by Pierre-Yves Roy.
These videos, which went viral on social networks, were an ideal playground for the creators of Bye Bye, who exploited the theatrical side of his poses to make an offbeat parody.
Although the humor of the sketches may have been a bit spicy for some, the parody also highlighted the personalities’ ability to laugh at themselves and accept this kind of mockery with a certain dose of self-deprecation. Ultimately, this type of sketch testifies to the special bond that exists between celebrities and the Quebec public, which appreciates fame as much as the ability of its icons to take themselves lightly.
So here is Pierre-Yves’ sketch for those who haven’t seen it:
Sébastien Delorme loved this segment of Bye bye, he even shared his reaction on video where we see him laughing out loud at this excellent sketch.
“It’s moé esti” he said and he and his girlfriend burst out laughing.
He also responded with a comment that clearly demonstrates his self-deprecation:
It’s PERFECT! I adore! It looks like it’s me! Thanks for the parody and welcome to the algorithm! Good year!
We love his reaction!
