“Fibus” meme: meaning, origin and rare card

What does the “Fibus” meme mean?

This meme expresses a quirky, slightly pretentious attitude towards alcohol consumption. It plays on the absurdity of an anthropomorphic animal acting like a seasoned drinker. The dominant emotion is irony: it is used to gently mock those who take themselves too seriously or to illustrate a wild night out with a sense of humor.

Where does the “Fibus” meme come from?

The meme originates directly from the YouTube video titled "PHIBUS LE PINGUOIN ALCOOLIQUE," uploaded by the channel Amixem on December 17, 2022. The video features a penguin named Flibus (sometimes spelled Phibus or Fibus), described as a heavy drinker. The character’s voice says: "I only drink my rum [...]", though the exact transcript is sometimes debated. The term "on the rocks" means drinking spirits with ice. In the video, this phrase becomes a comedic slogan for the character. The context also includes jokes about shots and salt, reinforcing the festive atmosphere. No prior origin for the character is documented in available sources.

How to use the “Fibus” meme

• Share the penguin image to comment on a photo of your whiskey or rum glass during a night out.
• Use the phrase "Je ne bois mon Rhum que on the rocks" under a video showing someone partying excessively.
• Reply to an arrogant statement about your taste in drinks by citing the meme to highlight the situation's ridiculousness.

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 “Fibus” card

The “Fibus” card was reprinted as Epic (No. 5,049). 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.
