In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Big Up la Somalie” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 1442 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3496 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Big Up la Somalie” meme mean?
The line works as an ironic shout-out: a “big up” sent to a country that has nothing to do with the action at hand, here swallowing a burger. The humor lies in the gap between an ordinary meal and a solemn-sounding dedication. People quote it at mealtime, to throw out an absurd shout-out, or to remind regulars of the scene. The tone stays that of a stream joke between friends, with no message intended.
Where does the “Big Up la Somalie” meme come from?
The scene comes from a livestream by French streamer YassEncore. During the broadcast, a close friend makes him eat a burger and accompanies the bites with “Allez, big up la Somalie”. The contrast between a dedication delivered as a joke and a meal taken live amused the chat, and the moment was cut into a clip. The line then circulated as a reference within the French-speaking streaming community, quoted in comments and edits.

The reprint of the “Big Up la Somalie” card
The “Big Up la Somalie” card was reprinted as Rare (No. 5,206). A reprint is the same meme printed again, with a number of its own and a higher rarity than its first printing, which was common. 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.
