In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Djilsi” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 4757 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 “Djilsi” meme mean?

The Djilsi meme points to the cheeky, quick-witted energy of his hidden-camera pranks: an everyday situation turned on its head with total composure, filmed without the other person knowing. People use it to describe a well-executed joke, an improvised bit that goes the prankster's way, or a moment where nerve wins over awkwardness, in the spirit of the hidden-camera format popularised on French-language internet.

Where does the “Djilsi” meme come from?

The meme traces back to “Cache la cam”, a hidden-camera series Djilsi launched in 2019, staging absurd situations in front of unaware bystanders or acquaintances. The clips were widely shared and discussed, turning his name into shorthand for that confident, situational style of humour. His profile grew further through two appearances at the charity gaming event GP Explorer, in 2022 and 2023. In December 2024, a boxing match against Mastu at a DTR Fight event brought renewed attention to him, and from March 2025 he co-chaired the Kings League France, a reimagined five-a-side football format, before appearing in the 2025 series “Bref. 2”. Each milestone kept feeding the meme by tying it to current French online entertainment.

How to get the “Djilsi” card

Every pack holds 5 meme cards, the first 3 of them Common; Djilsi comes out of the Memes FR pack as a rare card. The pack odds say what each rarity weighs.

Your first pack is free and needs no account. After that a new free pack lands every 10 minutes, up to 3 waiting for you. You can also buy the card with MemeCoins on the market, bid for it at auction, or trade it — and a double recycles into 10 MemeCoins.

The reprint of the “Djilsi” card

The “Djilsi” card was reprinted as Epic (No. 5,036). 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.
