In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Carapute” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 4401 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 “Carapute” meme mean?
The name is a pun on “Carapuce”, the French name for the water-type starter Pokémon known in English as Squirtle, mixed with a vulgar word for comic effect. It nods to the wider genre of edited, fake Pokémon cards shared online for laughs, and people bring it up to poke fun at a childhood classic turned absurd rather than to be mean.
Where does the “Carapute” meme come from?
Fake, edited Pokémon cards are a long-running joke format on French-speaking social media: people copy the exact layout of an official Pokémon trading card and swap in a joke name, attack and effect text, often crude or absurd. Carapute follows the same pattern, with a made-up attack called “Crachat” (spit), a damage value and a status effect that infects the opponent for two turns, just like a real card would describe. The name itself plays on Carapuce, the French name for the starter Pokémon known internationally as Squirtle, combined with a crude word for comic punch.
How to use the “Carapute” meme
- Showing the card to a friend and just saying “Carapute” to get a laugh without explaining.
- Sharing a screenshot of it in a thread about fake Pokémon cards.
- Bringing it up to joke about overly innocent childhood cards.
