<br/><br/> Appearing on TF1 in 1982, the Bébête Show diffused to an hour of great audience with a protesting discourse against the political class. In facing this attack, the experts of the political field initially tried to neutralize the Bébête show by recovering it. Then they tried to disqualify it with a lawsuit for « illegal practice of politics ». However, the public support for the authors installed the satire as a legitimate modality of political action. And from now on acclimatized, these satirical practices seem built-in with the political game.
