In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Ce tombeau sera votre tombeau !” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 1283 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 tombeau sera votre tombeau !” meme mean?
The line is funny because of its grandiloquence: announcing a grim fate in a rabble-rouser’s voice, with a sentence that repeats its own key word. It is used to dramatise something trivial (a meeting, a failed dish, a project looking long), to nod to the film among fans, or to mock an overly solemn speech. Its strength comes from the actor’s delivery and the rhythm of the scene, which fans can reproduce from memory.
Where does the “Ce tombeau sera votre tombeau !” meme come from?
Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra is a film written and directed by Alain Chabat, released in France on 30 January 2002, with Chabat himself as Julius Caesar. Amonbofis, played by Gérard Darmon, is the architect who rivals Numerobis and resents not being given the job of building Cleopatra’s palace. He sabotages the site and pushes the slaves to stop working, hence the sermon scene, one of the most quoted moments of the comedy. Clips were shared on YouTube as sounds and videos, turning the line into a landmark of French popular culture.
