Bob Binette's Nightmares

Very peculiar setpiece from "Les Bleu Poudre", made in 1994, does not directly evoke Québec's independence, but rather the deprivation of it. The results are strange and brooding, and may not necessarily be classified as "humorous". Features Ghislain Taschereau impersonating Bob Binette, a Québec rocker seemingly suffering from speech disorder... although things are not always what they seem! Binette's name is a homophonic derivation from a famous kiddie show's puppet in 1970's Québec, Bobinette. Music soundtrack by François Pérusse probably includes a looped sound sample from Angelo Badalamenti's "Twin Peaks".

@MissVandeerbilt Mass marketed consumer goods are turning us all --including YOU-- into empty shells. Revolt before it's too late

@MissVandeerbilt When you are deprived of anything you might hold on to, in a world without any symbolic mental framework, that's called identity depossession. Quebeckers have strictly nothing at all to incarnate their nationhood. They flushed religion, they are without a real country with real philosophical contents, nothing binds them to their land. Hence the empty VHS tape box in which Binette was hoping to access to his inner truth, the "movie of his life".

@jaaaacques Independance has nothing to do with this skit, its only absurd nightmares from Binette that makes absolutely no sense at all. For example: «I "nightmared" I was dead, and saw the movie of my life" Then you see Binette at the videoclub saying "Oh, its been rented already". Its all absurd things like this he says. Nothing to do with independance at all. You might want to watch the skit again with a better understanding of the language, sir.
