What does the “C'est Kloug !” meme mean?
The expression conveys extreme disgust, mixed with dark humor. In the original scene, it qualifies a chestnut cake whose appearance and texture are deemed abominable. Today, it is used to describe any object, food item, or context perceived as nauseating or simply of very bad taste. It is an indirect and funny way to reject something without using vulgar words, while highlighting its repulsive nature.
Where does the “C'est Kloug !” meme come from?
The phrase comes from the French comedy film Le Père Noël est une ordure (Santa Claus Is a Stinker), directed by Jean-Marie Poiré and released on August 25, 1982. It is spoken by the character Mr. Preskovic, played by Bruno Moynot. In this memorable scene, the Turkish neighbor presents a chestnut cake to Thérèse and Pierre. After Pierre asks if the substance isn't poop, Preskovic firmly replies: "No, it's kloug." The term "kloug" refers to an imaginary pastry supposedly Bulgarian, made by hand under the armpits. Although the play by the Splendid was created in 1979, the exact creation date of this specific line remains unknown. The lasting popularity of the meme relies on the absurdity of the answer and the characters' reaction of disgust.
- 1979Creation of the original play by the Splendid, including the precursors of the scene.
- August 25, 1982Release of the film in theaters, cementing the cult cinematic version of the line.
