Where does the “Optique 2000” meme come from?

Optic 2000 is an opticians’ cooperative headquartered in Clamart, France, created on January 6, 1969 by the Groupement d’achats des opticiens lunetiers. From 2002 to 2011, Johnny Hallyday filmed many advertising spots for the brand, at times with his wife Laeticia. The brand’s slogan was “On va se revoir”. Several films stuck in memory and still circulate on YouTube, such as the Route 66 ad in 2004, the casino ad in 2003 or the ranch ad in 2011. These clips now feed edits and humorous references.
