Where does the “Gros JDG contre Maigre JDG” meme come from?
Joueur du Grenier is a French YouTube channel launched in 2009, hosted by Frédéric Molas, known as Fred, alongside Sébastien Rassiat, where they humorously review old video games. Over the years, Fred goes through a major weight loss, which produces two very recognizable versions of him on screen: the early “gros JDG” and the more recent “maigre JDG”. Fans of the channel started comparing these two eras, pairing scenes or reactions filmed years apart. This comparison became a recurring format within the community, reused to illustrate any striking contrast between a before and an after.
