In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Giuseppe and Marie-France” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 2301 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3494 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Giuseppe and Marie-France” meme mean?
The pair points to a landmark of French reality TV in the 2010s: a son who calls himself a macho and an ever-present mother whose lines were clipped, parodied and shared for years. People mention them for TV nostalgia, to point at a very close mother-and-son pair, or to describe a larger-than-life personality. The comedy comes from the sincerity of the characters rather than from staging.
Where does the “Giuseppe and Marie-France” meme come from?
“Qui veut épouser mon fils ?” is a French reality show on TF1 hosted by Elsa Fayer. Season 1 ran from 29 October to 17 December 2010 and drew between 3.7 and 3.9 million viewers per episode. The format puts single young men still living with their mothers in front of suitors, while the mothers give their opinions. Giuseppe, 39, presented himself as a macho, and his mother Marie-France also sparked a lot of curiosity. Clips from the show, including scenes with Marie-France and a trip to Venice, were uploaded in the following years, and Marie-France later became a presenter on AB1.
