Groland is a long-running French satirical television show on Canal+, built around reports from a fictional country of the same name. Its mock news format, deadpan presenters and invented national institutions turned everyday French politics and media into parody, and clips from the programme have long circulated among fans who enjoy its absurdist take on current affairs. Online, short Groland audio clips are reused as shorthand for fake official announcements, because the show's style is instantly recognisable to viewers familiar with its tongue-in-cheek newsroom world.
