Remi Gaillard

Below are two clips of Remi Gaillard in action. Gaillard is a French performance artist who rose to fame staging elaborate, high-profile pranks. The first clip is a mash-up of Gaillard performing trick shots in between footage of him posing as a Lorient footballer after the team won the 2002 Coupe de France. During the celebration, but sadly not included in the clip below, Gaillard also met Jacques Chirac and, later, gave a television interview about the victory. Which isn't to insinuate that the following clip isn't worth watching. It certainly is, if only for Gaillard's deft touch and the incongruous AC/DC soundtrack. 


This second clip, though, shows a much more creative use of Gaillard's talents and is, therefore, about a thousand times funnier. In it, Gaillard dresses up as Pac Man and descends, along with his Ghost-clad cohorts, into a local supermarket, a golf course and, later, a pool hall to wreak havoc on his unsuspecting compatriots. Enjoy.
