Les Visiteurs is a 1993 French comedy directed by Jean-Marie Poiré, starring Jean Reno and Christian Clavier as the medieval servant Jacouille la Fripouille, who is transported to modern France. The film became a major French box-office hit and a lasting source of catchphrases, costumes and references. Clips featuring Jacouille circulate widely on French soundboards and social media, where his rough accent and bewildered attitude are instantly recognised even by viewers who have not seen the full film.
