Rémi Gaillard crashed the 2002 Coupe de France final dressed as a footballer, celebrated with the winning team, and shook hands with the French president - all without playing a minute. The stunt launched a two-decade run of public pranks that made him one of YouTube's most-subscribed comedy channels.

Born 7 February 1975, Gaillard lost his job at a shoe store and started filling the hours with elaborate pranks on strangers. The Lorient jersey infiltration in 2002 brought French media attention and set the template: audacious, absurd, and somehow pulled off. He built a YouTube channel around the formula - trick shots, staged disruptions, animal rights activism - racking up over 7.4 million subscribers by 2024. He appeared in sports events, game shows, political rallies, and Banksy's 2011 documentary The Antics Roadshow. On 30 November 2023, he posted a video titled "EPILOGUE" in which he buried social media logos in dirt, gesturing at a possible end.
