In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “I have a plan” is a rare card of the Memes World series 76, number 22620 of the collection, and the 91st best-known meme of its 298 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “I have a plan” meme mean?
In meme form, the phrase stands for blind faith in a plan that is supposed to fix everything while the situation collapses. The mood is forced optimism, denial and a dash of tragic comedy. People use it when someone improvises a shaky solution, when a group project goes sideways, or to joke about their own idea right before it probably fails.
Where does the “I have a plan” meme come from?
Dutch van der Linde is a character in the Red Dead video game series. He appears in Red Dead Redemption in 2010 and is at the heart of Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018, played by Benjamin Byron Davis. Charming early on, he grows more paranoid and controlling as his gang runs into trouble. The card ties “I have a plan” to him as his running line. It has since broken free of the game and become a general comment on fragile plans and overconfident leaders.
