He is making a joke off the musical and book "Les Misérables." Les Misérables takes place during the French Revolution. Les Misérables tells the story of several characters and how their fates eventually intertwine. If you were to watch the movie, you would notice that's it almost entirely singing, not much speaking. I believe he is making a joke about how he suffered for having to listen to the music of Les Misérables for three years.
