In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “For example nothing” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 3182 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3493 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “For example nothing” meme mean?
This format relies on the comedic contrast between asking for a culinary specialty and receiving a response that denies any existence of such a dish. It expresses the idea that something simply does not exist or contributes nothing. The humor stems from the absurdity of this categorical negation in a context expecting a concrete description. Users apply it to situations where the anticipated content is glaringly absent.
Where does the “For example nothing” meme come from?
The phenomenon traces back to a video interview published by Vanity Fair featuring footballer Kylian Mbappé. In this exchange, the interviewer asks about his "Mbappé special," meaning his favorite or signature dish. The athlete responds with characteristic hesitation: "For example, nothing. For the moment, nothing. But I try to be better." This reply, considered funny for its bluntness and emptiness, spread widely on social media. Although several sources place the publication in July 2026, the exact upload date remains uncertain, with some mentions indicating October 2026. The initial platform for virality was TikTok, which turned this quote into a standard punchline to illustrate nothingness.
How to use the “For example nothing” meme
