“Elles t'ont dit quoi ?” meme: meaning, origin and common card

What does the “Elles t'ont dit quoi ?” meme mean?

The question plays on the absurdity of a scene where someone chats with animals before they are taken to the slaughterhouse, then demands a detailed report. The tone is mock-serious: it is asked as if the answer were obvious. The mixed feeling is disbelief, teasing and stifled laughter. People use it to comment on an unlikely story, to push a friend to elaborate on a dubious anecdote, or to deflect a heavy conversation with offbeat humor. It slips easily into a comment under any post that puts words in someone else’s mouth.

Where does the “Elles t'ont dit quoi ?” meme come from?

The meme builds on a scene in which a vegan describes a conversation with animals before their trip to the slaughterhouse. The question thrown back, “Elles t’ont dit quoi ?”, uses the feminine “elles” for the animals in question and sounds like a polite, incredulous cross-examination. Cut from the original clip, the line was picked up by French-speaking users as a quote, an edit and a comment, to ask for details about a far-fetched claim. It works without knowing the scene: the gap between the seriousness of the question and the absurdity of the situation is enough to get a laugh.
