In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “C'est Okay — Full Art” is a legendary card of the Memes FR pack, number 1207 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 Okay — Full Art” meme mean?

When Jacquouille says “c’est okay”, it is a cry of satisfaction: everything is fine, perfect, approved. The humor comes from a twelfth-century servant proudly owning a modern English word, delivered with the grin of a man who has just found treasure. Today the line approves a decision, a plan or a small win with exaggerated enthusiasm. It also carries a wink of nostalgia, since you are quoting the film as much as you are agreeing.

Where does the “C'est Okay — Full Art” meme come from?

The line comes from Les Visiteurs, a comedy released in France on 27 January 1993, directed by Jean-Marie Poiré and co-written with Christian Clavier. The film sends the knight Godefroy de Montmirail (Jean Reno) and his squire Jacquouille la Fripouille (Clavier) from the Middle Ages to the present day. In the story, Jacquart, Jacquouille’s descendant and also played by Clavier, says “c’est OK!” to calm a secretary who threatens a lawsuit after ashes damage her boss’s car. Jacquouille loves the phrase and adopts it. The film sold about 13.78 million tickets and topped the 1993 French box office; its soundtrack even includes a “single version” of “C’est Okay” by Éric Lévi. The scene has since lived on in clips and edits.
