et caetera - tout le toutim - tout le bazar
Explanation:
Eu diria que quer dizer "etc" ou "tudo mais".

No seu caso, em francês, seria algo como : "c'était un pastiche, une parodie, tout le toutim, une image"

Exemplos em português encontrados na net: "Tinha maçã, banana, frango assado e o caralho a quatro!"
ou ainda : "já procurei no suporte online, telefone, internet e o caralho a quatro, não sei o que fazer mais."
