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."

Oui voilà. La réponse de Gil est utile aussi. Moi j´avais traduit "Un peu tout et rien". Tiens, on pourrait utiliser "un fourbi" aussi, etc. Merci !
