The “Beauf de France” meme, 2013

In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Beauf de France” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 1010 of the collection, and the 876th best-known meme of its 977 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Beauf de France” meme mean?

The joke turns an insult into a medal. The character does not suffer the beauf label, he claims it, with the straight face of a certified brand. French speakers bring the phrase out after a particularly crude remark, saluting the performance rather than attacking anyone. The deadpan, bureaucratic tone is what makes it land.

Where does the “Beauf de France” meme come from?

The sketch is a fake advertisement by the comedy duo Kad et Olivier, in which a beauf character is introduced as an officially recognised figure, title and certificate included. The source consulted places the fake ad in 2003 but gives neither the exact video title, nor the credited performer, nor the channel of first broadcast, nor a precise date: all of that remains unknown. The duo is associated with La Grosse Émission, broadcast on Comédie between 1999 and 2001, yet no consulted source proves the sketch aired there. The year shown on the card is not documented either.

  1. 2003The source consulted places the Kad et Olivier fake commercial in this year.

How to use the “Beauf de France” meme

  • Award the title to whoever has just strung together a run of barroom clichés.
  • Claim it for yourself, tongue in cheek, after an unapologetic remark.
  • Invoke the “certificate of authenticity” to validate a particularly crude line.
