History Series / DixPourCent

** The many gags that play on French pop-culture jokes and memes (e.g. people constantly calling Franck Dubosc "Patrick" in reference to his character Patrick Chirac in the ''Camping'' franchise of comedy films) don't translate easily to other countries and cultures.

* LostInTranslation: American and British viewers might find it odd that nobody bats an eye when Hervé introduces himself with Camille's name when they are pretending to be the same agent in Season 3. Although the name "Camille" is used exclusively for girls in the Anglophone world, it's considered a unisex name in France.

** ''Mathias'': Nathalie Baye, Audrey Fleurot, Virginie Efira, Ramzy Ramzy Bédia, Isabelle Adjani, Creator/GerardLanvin

** ''Gabriel'': Cécile de France, Line Renaud, Laura Smet, Julie Gayet, Norman Thavaud, Guy Marchand, Creator/MonicaBellucci, Creator/IsabelleHuppert, Franck Dubosc, Sandrine Kiberlain

** Andréa: Françoise Fabian, Creator/JoeyStarr, François Berléand, Creator/JulietteBinoche, Creator/JeanDujardin, Béatrice Dalle, Creator/CharlotteGainsbourg
** Mathias: Audrey Fleurot, Virginie Efira, Ramzy Ramzy Bédia, Isabelle Adjani, Creator/GerardLanvin
** Gabriel: Cécile de France, Line Renaud, Julie Gayet, Norman Thavaud, Guy Marchand, Creator/MonicaBellucci, Creator/IsabelleHuppert, Franck Dubosc

* ActorAllusion: Happens a lot. For instance, when Creator/JoeyStarr runs after a paparazzo in anger, Andréa admonished him to think about his probation (referring to the real-life justice problems of the actor due to his well-known HairTriggerTemper).

** Noémie comes across as being rather stuck-up and prissy in the early episodes. When she began to get more screen time and her relationship with Mathias was explored in more detail, these traits fell by the wayside, while her emotional, neurotic nature and {{Cloudcuckoolander}} tendencies were emphasized.

** Andréa gets a taste of this when [[spoiler: Colette disappears in season 4]].

* ActorAllusion: Happens a lot. For instance, when [[Music/SupremeNTM JoeyStarr]] runs after a paparazzo in anger, Andréa admonished him to think about his probation (referring to the real-life justice problems of the actor due to his well-known HairTriggerTemper).

* ActorAllusion: Happens a lot. For instance, when Joey Starr runs after a paparazzo in anger, Andréa admonished him to think about his probation (referring to the real-life justice problems of the actor due to his well-known HairTriggerTemper).

* OfficialCoupleOrdealSyndrome: The three major end-game couples featured in the show--Andréa and Colette, Gabriel and Sofia, and Mathias and Noémie--all wind up experiencing many trials, tribulations and WillTheyOrWontThey drama over the course of its four seasons.

* ContrivedCoincidence: For a big city, the characters run into each other in the most inopportune places. The woman Andréa blows off on a dating site? The accountant scheduled to audit her agency. The office Andréa and Gabriel scout when they consider leaving ASK? Same street as Guy Marchand's psychic. Etcetera.

''Dix Pour Cent'' was originally set to conclude with its fourth season, which aired in the fall of 2020; however, a few months later, a spinoff feature-length film as well as a follow-up fifth season were announced.

* ExcitedShowTitle: In Anglophone markets, anyway, as ''Call My Agent!''.

* NiceMeanInbetween: Gabriel is the nice, Mathias is the mean, and Andréa is the aggressive yet well-meaning in-between.

* BananaPeel: In Season 4 premiere "Charlotte", Creator/CharlotteGainsbourg desperately wants to get out of a project, but the director, Oscar Rondo, is a childhood friend. She fakes a broken leg, and, when asked how she broke the leg, sees a banana peel carelessly tossed on her floor. She claims that she slipped on a banana peel, but soon confesses the truth. An upset Oscar stalks out, she chases after him--and she falls on the banana peel for real and breaks her leg for real.

* EvilDetectingDog: Jean Gabin, Arlette's dog, who always ends up attacking colleagues guilty of indiscretion, spying or treason.

** Hervé's Season 3 crush Valentin, who is trying to pursue an acting career. Unfortunately he's an awful actor, severely overplaying every scene he tries and often shouting for no reason.

** Season 1 Andréa is a lot more hotheaded and impulsive than she would end up being. In Season 2, she's still an aggressive go-getter, but her characterization starts revolving more around her workaholism, and she shows an ability for manipulation and canny tactics that is nearly on level with that of Mathias. MSome of the traits that were dropped from Andréa's character were later applied to Hicham, who is introduced in Season 2.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: When Mathias comes into work the morning after [[spoiler:the others learn that he betrayed them to the Americans]], it's Gabriel who knocks him to the ground in a flying tackle.

** Noémie comes across as being rather stuck-up and prissy in the early episodes. When she began to get more screen time and her relationship with Mathias was explored in more detail, these traits fell by the wayside, while her emotionality, neuroticism and {{Cloudcuckoolander}} tendencies were emphasized.

* IntimidatingRevenueService: Colette Brancillon is an icy, professional, and buttoned-up tax assessor who is completely uninterested in anyone's excuses for the agency's casually fraudulent accounting practices. Her report results in a 500,000 euro fine. (Her demeanor really turns Andréa on, however.)

* KarmaHoudini: Elise Formain. [[spoiler:At the end, she succeeds in destroying [=ASK=], coercing Gabriel to join [=StarMédia=], and gaining Creator/JeanReno as a client. Apart from Andréa shoving her into a wall, suffers no personal or professional consequences. The only thing she ''might'' not get is Jean Reno, because he hints to Andréa that he's not going to stay as Elise's client any longer than the end of filming.]]

* NoBisexuals: Andrea denies being bisexual when asked, despite having sex with men, and says she's a lesbian. She also mentions she's had sex with men in the past, but her preference is for women. Andrea later claims not to find men desirable at all or have sex with them. (Even when she does have sex with Hicham, it's because she's trying to keep ''him'' from having sex with Aymeline Valade.)

* PapaWolf: While mostly trying to keep her at distance to preserve his image, Mathias gets his moments regarding Camille.

** Season 1 Andréa is a lot more hotheaded and impulsive than she would end up being. In Season 2, she's still an aggressive go-getter, but her characterization starts revolving more around her workaholism, and she shows an ability for manipulation and canny tactics that is nearly on level with that of Mathias. Many of the traits that were dropped from Andréa's character were later applied to Hicham, who is introduced in Season 2.
** Noémie comes across as being rather stuck-up and prissy in the early episodes. When she began to get more screen time and her relationship with Mathias was explored in more detail, these traits fell by the wayside, while her emotionality and neuroticism was emphasized.

''Dix pour cent'' ("Ten Percent", renamed ''Call My Agent!'' abroad) is a French comedy series that began airing in 2015 on France 2, although Netflix now owns the distribution rights in most countries. It centers on talent agents [[TheAce Andrea Martel]], [[PragmaticAntiHero Mathias Barneville]], [[NiceGuy Gabriel Sarda]] and [[CoolOldLady Arlette Azémar]], along with their assistants [[NaiveNewcomer Camille Valentini]], [[CampGay Hervé André-Jezak]] and [[ProneToTears Noémie Leclerc]], and receptionist [[WaitingForABreak Sofia Leprince]], in the agency ASK (Agence Samuel Kerr). The series follows their adventures as they manage the careers, whims and problems of their protégés in exchange for ten percent of their earnings (hence the French title of the series). The first episode ends with the abrupt death of their boss, which puts the agency in jeopardy.

* TheDanza: Averted. There ''is'' an actress named "Camille" in the main cast, but she plays Andréa.

The series is notable for having famous guest stars [[AdamWesting playing fictional version of themselves]] as the talents managed by ASK. Expect lot of self-parody and jokes about the French cinema and show business.
