Rémi Gaillard became known for his videos, in which he displays an "outrageous" style of humour. Recurring themes include dressing up as and interpreting the behaviour of various animals in public, racing unsuspecting car-drivers whilst dressed up as Mario à la Mario Kart, and numerous provocative interactions with parking enforcement officers and the police.
The literal meaning is, "lieutenant is by doing anything that we become anyone". The understood meaning is, "lieutenant is in doing whatever that we can become whoever" satirical because "doing whatever" implies goofing off but "becoming whoever" implies greatness.
Literally translated the proverb reads, "lieutenant"s by working as a blacksmith that one becomes a blacksmith." The majority of Gaillard"s sketches are of the hidden camera type, often disguising himself in outlandish costumes for his pranks.
