In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “C'est Walid” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 2019 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3495 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “C'est Walid” meme mean?

Saying “c’est Walid” is a knowing shrug: the situation is typical, expected and no mystery. The name becomes shorthand. Faced with a delay, a blunder or a familiar behaviour, the phrase saves you from explaining. It carries amused resignation, the sense of “of course it was him” or “nobody is surprised any more”. Friends use it to tease each other, commenters stick it under videos, and it captions anything that always plays out the same way.

Where does the “C'est Walid” meme come from?

“C’est Walid” is a phrase used ironically to highlight obvious or recurring situations. The meme travels mostly through repetition of the line itself: its strength lies in turning a first name into a universal explanation that anyone can apply to their own circle, whether about a friend, a colleague or a family member who always plays the same part.

How to get the “C'est Walid” card

Every pack holds 5 meme cards, the first 3 of them Common; C'est Walid comes out of the Memes FR pack as a rare card. The pack odds say what each rarity weighs.

Your first pack is free and needs no account. After that a new free pack lands every 10 minutes, up to 3 waiting for you. You can also buy the card with MemeCoins on the market, bid for it at auction, or trade it — and a double recycles into 10 MemeCoins.

The reprint of the “C'est Walid” card

The “C'est Walid” card was reprinted as Epic (No. 4,823). 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.
