In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Che ne compwen pas” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 1423 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 “Che ne compwen pas” meme mean?
The phrase mimics a deliberately warped pronunciation to fake incomprehension. It fits whenever someone speaks in a way nobody can follow, whether it is shaky English, technical jargon or a muddled speech. The tone is mocking but light: instead of saying “I don't understand”, you sing it with a grimace. It works as a comment under a video where a speaker struggles through English, or in front of an unreadable instruction manual.
Where does the “Che ne compwen pas” meme come from?
The meme comes from the highly publicized rivalry between rappers Booba and Rohff, which began in the early 2000s and had several public episodes, notably in 2012 and 2013. In a clip shared by many channels, Booba reacts to a passage where Rohff speaks English, pretending he cannot decode it, and delivers his distorted version of “I don't understand”. Rohff, born in Madagascar in 1977, has recorded with American artists such as Pharrell Williams, The Game and Lumidee, which explains the English in his tracks. The clip was cut, captioned and reposted under titles like “Booba – Je ne comprends pas”, before becoming a meme sound.

The reprint of the “Che ne compwen pas” card
The “Che ne compwen pas” card was reprinted as Epic (No. 2,340). A reprint is the same meme printed again, with a number of its own and a higher rarity than its first printing, which was rare. Its face reads “Reprinted card · Higher rarity”.
Every printing is dealt in the packs of the Memes FR pack, each at its own rarity: the higher it is, the rarer the card is to pull. Copies of the first printing already pulled stay as they are, and any printing counts toward completing a set.
MyMemeCards reprints a meme when it deserves more than the rarity of its first printing, such as a classic that became iconic after it came out: the reprint gives it a place among the most sought-after cards without taking anything from the players who already had it.
