Les Inconnus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Les Inconnus is a French trio of humorists formed in 1986 following the departure of Seymour Brussel from the quartet named Les Quatre Quarts (means "The Four Quarters" or "The Pound Cake"). The members of this trio are Didier Bourdon, Bernard Campan and Pascal Légitimus. They first achieved success on stage and then on television with La Télé des Inconnus, starting 1990, and finally in music and movies.

After the success of the movie Les Trois Frères in 1995, the trio encountered some problems with its manager Paul Lederman and it split. Pascal Legitimus began a career as an actor while the other two prepared a movie entitled "Le Pari".

In their small plays on television, the humorists did criticize and make fun of the French police, politicians (especially Jack Lang), hunters, trade unions, musicians (Richard Clayderman, Mano Negra, Indochine, Didier Barbelivien, Florent Pagny, Patrick Bruel), television shows (Bioman, Club Dorothée, Santa Barbara), movies and the society in which they live in general.
