In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Philippe Boxho” is an epic card of the Cancel & Dramas pack, number 85 of the collection, and the 81st best-known meme of its 117 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Philippe Boxho” meme mean?
Invoking Philippe Boxho evokes that flat, clinical tone that clashes with the grim subject matter he covers. People use it to describe a gruesome story told with near-comic detachment, or to poke fun at how an expert became, almost by accident, a recurring face of France's true-crime media landscape.
Where does the “Philippe Boxho” meme come from?
Philippe Boxho is a Belgian forensic doctor with a degree in criminology, born in Liège in 1965. He moved into forensic medicine after an internship at the University of Liège's forensic institute in the late 1980s. He owes his mainstream fame to appearances on Guillaume Pley's "Legend" show, widely watched on YouTube, and to spots on the radio program "Les Grosses Têtes" alongside Laurent Ruquier. He is also a bestselling author: in 2024, his book sales matched those of authors like Amélie Nothomb or Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt. His regular presence in crime-focused content made him a fixture of French-language true crime.
How to use the “Philippe Boxho” meme
