“Et toi, à quoi tu joues ?” meme: meaning, origin and rare card

What does the “Et toi, à quoi tu joues ?” meme mean?

You ask it after someone has finished listing what they are or what they own, exactly as the advert asks it after reeling off the character’s feats. The line passes the ball back without aggression while pointing at the self-satisfaction of what came before. It is also used literally between players, to ask what game someone plays, and the double use is part of the joke: you never quite know whether the question is sincere or a jab at the speech that preceded it.

Where does the “Et toi, à quoi tu joues ?” meme come from?

In 2008 Blizzard ran a French television campaign for World of Warcraft in which public figures introduced themselves as game characters; Alexandre Astier, then known for Kaamelott, appeared as a paladin, detailed his gear and his deeds, and signed off with “And you, what do you play?” The short format and the actor’s feigned seriousness made the spot heavily replayed, then reposted online as a standalone clip. The closing line outlived the campaign: it circulates as a rhetorical question, often with nothing to do with the game. The exact first broadcast date could not be verified for this page, so only the year is recorded.
