My Take
Rémi Gaillard is the patron saint of chaotic French pranking, and I mean that fondly. The man literally lost a shoe-store job and turned boredom into a career, sneaking into a French Cup trophy ceremony dressed as a player being the legend that made him. His motto, roughly that if you do anything long enough you become it, basically built early YouTube comedy. Note he's French, not American as the data says, born 1975 in Montpellier. These days the animal rights activism is as loud as the gags. I find his stunts hit-or-miss now, but the audacity has never dipped.
