In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “BFG” is a common card of the Memes World series 76, number 22554 of the collection, and the 44th best-known meme of its 298 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “BFG” meme mean?
In gamer language, a “BFG” means the ultimate weapon, the one that settles a fight in a single shot. The word signals excess: an overblown power, almost comical, saved for the big moments. By extension it names any heavy-handed solution used to crush a problem, or an absurdly strong weapon in another game. The feeling attached to it is a slightly childish joy, that of clearing the screen with one blast.
Where does the “BFG” meme come from?
The BFG first appears in 1993 in the shooter Doom, where it is called the BFG9000 and launches balls of green plasma. The acronym’s fan reading is a crude nickname for a big gun; in the 2005 Doom movie, characters give it another reading, “Bio Force Gun.” The weapon later shows up in Doom 64, Doom 3 and Doom RPG, as well as the Quake series, including Quake 2 and Quake 3. On August 6, 2002, an Urban Dictionary entry by Mad Walrus popularized the slang meaning of the acronym. Interest in the BFG peaked in 2012 with the release of the remastered Doom 3: BFG Edition. Many games have since borrowed the idea of an overpowered blast, making it a landmark of shooter culture.
