In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “De la pire espèce” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 795 of the collection, and the 523rd best-known meme of its 790 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “De la pire espèce” meme mean?
The phrase condemns someone outright, in the vocabulary of another century. What makes it reusable is the mismatch: the insult is solemn, almost literary, while the quarrel behind it is tiny. Online it is used to pass final judgement on something trivial, a colleague who finishes the coffee, a friend who turns up an hour late. The repetition and the heavy stress do half the comic work, which is why the clip travels further than the written line ever could.
Where does the “De la pire espèce” meme come from?
The sequence is known through a YouTube video titled “"De la pire Espèce" - Mamie Vs Voisin”, which passed three hundred thousand views and remains the only complete source for the scene. It shows an exchange filmed outdoors, in front of a town hall: a safe cannot be opened on a Sunday, the two neighbours blame each other for the deadlock, and the woman eventually delivers the phrase. The argument then turns into a xenophobic insult, the woman telling her neighbour to go back to his country of origin: that part explains the heat of the exchange but never travelled, and the card keeps only the fragment actually reused online. No Know Your Meme entry and no press article documents the scene, which leaves the exact date and place uncertain.
How to use the “De la pire espèce” meme
- It passes absolute judgement on a tiny offence, in deliberately grand terms.
- It works as a comment under any clip of everyday rudeness, a loud neighbour or a stolen parking space.
- Said twice, with the original stress, it closes a conversation like a punchline.
