In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Dembelé à vélo” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 4076 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3502 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Dembelé à vélo” meme mean?
The meme rests on the gap between Ousmane Dembélé’s status as a top-level professional athlete and the image, seen as quirky or funny, of something as mundane as riding a bicycle. People use it to highlight the comedy of an ordinary pose or situation when tied to a figure one would not expect to see in that context, creating a surprise effect that fuels the image’s sharing.
Where does the “Dembelé à vélo” meme come from?
Ousmane Dembélé is a French footballer born on 15 May 1997 in Vernon, in the Eure department, who has had an international career marked by stints at several major European clubs. The photo that gave rise to the meme shows the player on a bicycle, in a pose internet users found distinctive enough to share and comment on widely, to the point of being labelled a recognised French meme. As with many athlete photos turned memes, it is less the action itself than the contrast between the figure’s prestige and the banality of the scene that drove its online success.
