In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Kinshasa en Heetch” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 2529 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3499 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Kinshasa en Heetch” meme mean?
The gag lies in the distance between what the passenger wants, a city in Africa, and what the driver does: follow the nearest address on his GPS. It conveys the absurdity of a literal misunderstanding and the improvisation of ride apps. People quote it for an instruction taken the wrong way, a pointless detour, a GPS gone rogue, or a dream trip that ends around the corner. The humor is light and rests on wordplay, not on criticism of anyone.
Where does the “Kinshasa en Heetch” meme come from?
Heetch is a French ride-hailing company founded in 2013 by Teddy Pellerin and Mathieu Jacob. It began as a service for young people heading home from nights out, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., before moving to an all-hours service with professional drivers. The meme transposes that world into a joke: a passenger wants to go to Kinshasa, and the driver drops her at Rue de Kinshasa in Paris. The effect comes from the gap between an African capital and a plain Parisian street address. The joke circulates as image captions and comments on social networks.
