In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Bonjour” is a mythic card of the Memes FR pack, number 4833 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3502 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Bonjour” meme mean?

The meme plays on the dated, slightly rigid feel of amateur gaming news intros, where each episode opens with a similar hook before announcing a precise technical detail, here a price drop. It gets used to nostalgically mock 2000s gaming news video formats, or to ironically introduce a mundane piece of information with the same exaggerated seriousness. The flat, monotone delivery of the line becomes an inside joke among retro-gaming enthusiasts.

Where does the “Bonjour” meme come from?

Toussurlesjeux is a video channel or show covering video game news, reporting on releases, prices, and industry updates. In one of its episodes, likely around 2010, the host announces that the Xbox 360 has just dropped to 199 euros, a factual, dated detail matching one of the console’s known price cuts after its 2005 launch by Microsoft. The clip got picked up by viewers nostalgic for the format, who reuse the opening line to evoke the particular atmosphere of amateur gaming news shows from that era.

How to use the “Bonjour” meme

  • People quote the line to ironically open a mundane announcement with a news-report tone.
