The Vestibules, formerly known as Radio Free Vestibule, is a Canadiansurrealist comedy troupe composed of Terence Bowman, Paul Paré, and Bernard Deniger.
Career
Based in Montreal, the trio began performing in 1987. Students at Montreal's Concordia University, they performed in Montreal-area comedy clubs and produced a radio comedy program for CKUT-FM. They had songs played on the syndicated Dr. Demento radio show. and soon began appearing on CBC Radio's Prime Time, beginning with occasional parody songs and later expanding to a twice-weekly sketch comedy segment; in April 1990, the program gave them a full half-hour special.
The trio were known primarily for absurdist comedy based on pop culture, and resisted humor that was too explicitly political. One sketch which aired on Prime Time in 1990 actually satirized Canadian radio comedy's predilection for political humor, by means of a sketch which featured an audience laughing uproariously at a reference to Meech Lake in the punchline to a deliberately unfunny "anti-joke". One of their most famous pieces was "Jellybabies Forever", a mockumentary about the rise and fall of a children's music group who had been inspired by the legendary supergroup Sharon, Lois, Bram and Young. Their satirical songs included "I Don't Want to Go to Toronto", a parody of Toronto's uptight and elitist image, and "Grunge Song", a parody of early 1990s songwriting which was frequently shown on MuchMusic. Another sketch with rare political overtones was "Looking for a Job in Quebec", in which a nervous anglophone insisted that his surname, O'Leary, was pronounced "Thibodeau".
BULBOUS BOUFFANT - The Vestibules - rotoscope animation
3 guys are waiting for the bus. (Audio is by the comedy group "The Vestibules")
I made this video as my independent study in 2006 at the University of Iowa. It took about 300 hours, if I remember correctly. It's made with the rotoscope animation process which is where you take live action footage and essentially trace it to create a new effect.
