In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Nice melon, couz” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 1270 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3500 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Nice melon, couz” meme mean?
The line captures the calm nerve of someone who admires your meal with a little too much interest. “Le couz” is a friendly, familiar way of addressing someone, roughly “cousin” or “mate”. The humour comes from the contrast between a polite compliment and the wasp’s obvious appetite, while it keeps one eye on the human who might trap it. People use it when someone openly eyes their plate, or to give a voice to an animal in a Marseille accent.
Where does the “Nice melon, couz” meme come from?
The meme rests on an imagined scene rather than a dated event: a wasp from Marseille speaks to its human neighbour, praises his melon and plans its landing. The glass detail points to a familiar summer gesture, where a glass is put over an insect to catch it. The wasp is played as quick-witted and cheeky, which gives the line its southern, street-corner flavour. Giving an animal a regional accent is a classic device in French online humour.
