In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Et on dit merci qui ?” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 1107 of the collection, and the 762nd best-known meme of its 977 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Et on dit merci qui ?” meme mean?
The phrase demands thanks instead of waiting for them, and that reversal is the joke. People ask it after lending a charger, buying a coffee, driving someone home: the favour was free, the gratitude gets extracted. Since everyone knows the advertising origin of the formula, using it adds a wink that defuses the demand, and nobody takes it as a real requirement. It works all the better spoken aloud, because it mimics an adult teaching a child their manners.
Where does the “Et on dit merci qui ?” meme come from?
The formula is the slogan of a French adult site, widespread enough to have outgrown its original context and settled into everyday speech. Its best-known display stands in Somain, in northern France, where a resident had the slogan and the brand’s logo painted on the front of her house in autumn 2017; the photograph of that façade, contributed to Wikimedia Commons by Jérémy-Günther-Heinz Jähnick, documents the scene. That move from advertising to a street wall explains the phrase’s career: it is no longer quoted for the brand but for its mechanism, and many use it without thinking about what it once advertised.
