Rémi Gaillard (born 7 February 1975 in Montpellier, France). He is a French humorist who uploads videos on YouTube. After losing his job at a shoe store, Rémi then began to use his free time to have fun and run some pranks on the public.

Gaillard gained attention in the French media after performing a well-documented series of pranks, including an appearance disguised as a Lorient football player in the 2002 Coupe de France final match, during which he took part in the winners' celebrations and was greeted by the then president of the French Republic, Jacques Chirac. He is also an amateur soccer player and has posted videos of his skills.

Gaillard has appeared in several sport events, TV game shows and political rallies.

Gaillard shot his first sketch in 1999 with a friend in Montpellier. In 2001, he created an internet website.,

Gaillard's motto

remi


Gaillard's motto is C'est en faisant n'importe quoi qu'on devient n'importe qui ("It's by doing whatever, that one becomes whoever.").

The majority of Gaillard's sketches are of the hidden camera type, in which the antagonist performs an unexpected or surprising action to elicit humorous responses from the bewildered witnesses. Gaillard often disguises himself in outlandish costumes for the pranks. During some pranks, Gaillard is accompanied by a crowd of friends, giving the action a flashmob-like nature. Some other videos may feature acrobatics like aiming footballs at distant goal-like objects, or more still aim to antagonize police forces he interacts with during his sketches.
