What does the “J’adore les sushis (Chouchou)” meme mean?
People say it to show a passion that is over the top, often to comic effect. The stretched “o” in writing copies the drawn-out delivery of the scene and turns a simple food preference into a declaration of love. It comes out when talking about sushi, of course, but also to tease someone’s forced enthusiasm, or just to show you know the film. Among friends it is a wink of recognition: anyone who gets the line knows where it comes from. It works in a text, a comment or a caption under a photo of a sushi platter.
Where does the “J’adore les sushis (Chouchou)” meme come from?
The line comes from Chouchou, a French comedy directed by Merzak Allouache and released in France on 19 March 2003. Gad Elmaleh, who co-wrote the script, plays Choukri, nicknamed “Chouchou”, a character taken from his stage show La Vie normale, and Alain Chabat is the other lead. A clip of the scene, posted by Studiocanal on YouTube under the title “J’adore les sushis”, has since travelled widely as edits, short videos and plain quotations. It ranks among the film’s most repeated lines, far beyond cinemas, especially whenever the talk turns to Japanese food.
