In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Bien joué Jo” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 1713 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3493 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Bien joué Jo” meme mean?

The line mimics a break-in: you imitate the siren, announce a raid, and congratulate someone called Jo for setting it off. The humor comes from the theatrical tone and the mouth-made sound effect. People use it to start an intrusion gag, to announce an imaginary check when walking into a room, or to react to a friend’s visible blunder. It also acts as a rallying cry for French comedy fans who recognize the bit from the first syllable.

Where does the “Bien joué Jo” meme come from?

The line is carried by Jonathan Cohen, an actor born in 1980 in Paris, who rose to fame with the character Serge le Mytho, then Bref., and was nominated for the César for best actor in 2021 for Énorme. Online videos reuse the bit under the hashtag #BienjouéJo, and a Konbini interview has him telling the origin of “Weeeu weeeu, ceci est une descente de police”. The sequence was then cut into short clips on YouTube and reworked in fan montages, turning it into a line to perform aloud, siren included.

The reprint of the “Bien joué Jo” card

The “Bien joué Jo” card was reprinted as Epic (No. 4,194). A reprint is the same meme printed again, with a number of its own and a higher rarity than its first printing, which was rare. Its face reads “Reprinted card · Higher rarity”.

Every printing is dealt in the packs of the Memes FR pack, each at its own rarity: the higher it is, the rarer the card is to pull. Copies of the first printing already pulled stay as they are, and any printing counts toward completing a set.

MyMemeCards reprints a meme when it deserves more than the rarity of its first printing, such as a classic that became iconic after it came out: the reprint gives it a place among the most sought-after cards without taking anything from the players who already had it.
