Ce lycée est extraordinaire (La Twitterie)In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Ce lycée est extraordinaire” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 3510 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3496 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Ce lycée est extraordinaire” meme mean?
The phrase is used to mock with irony an overly pronounced or naive admiration for a school. It highlights the gap between the reality of an educational setting and the idealization held by some students. Using it, one laughs at those who praise their institution without nuance, playing on the perceived excess of zeal as ridiculous or conformist.
Where does the “Ce lycée est extraordinaire” meme come from?
The meme originates from a report by the local channel TV7 about Sainte-Marie de Bastide Private High School in Bordeaux, where the baccalaureate success rate reached 98% in 2016. Student Quentin Faugeras, then in his final year, stated: "This high school is extraordinary," explaining his satisfaction with an adapted pedagogy. The exact broadcast date remains unknown. On March 29, 2017, the show Touche Pas À Mon Poste! (C8), in Camille Combal’s segment, reused the sequence. Presenting Quentin as a "teacher’s pet," it sparked reactions defending the student on social media. The label "Words from a student in a high school in Gironde" appeared later, but its precise origin and initial platform are unknown.
