In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “C’est intédit de pleurer” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 2570 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 “C’est intédit de pleurer” meme mean?

The line pairs a bossy order with a shaky spelling, “intédit” for “interdit” (forbidden), which gives it the air of a child’s voice or a flustered big brother. The ban on crying is delivered as a rule with circular logic: if you cry it is serious, so you must not cry. People use it to play down a sorrow, to tease a friend feeling sorry for themselves, or to answer bad news in a mock-stern tone. It is funny because of the awkward tenderness inside it.

Where does the “C’est intédit de pleurer” meme come from?

The phrase circulates in video clips on YouTube, at least since 2022, for instance under a title echoing “C’est interdit de pleurer” and a description reading “we don’t sleep! If you cry it’s too serious”, posted by African comedy channels. The chant relies on repeating one order and on the faulty sentence construction, which people reproduce in writing, mistake included. The meme lives mostly as a quotation that gets reused, remixed and spoken in the voice of the clip, like many viral lines born from amateur videos.
