In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “There is one cannon, I see two” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 1196 of the collection, and the 757th best-known meme of its 1050 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “There is one cannon, I see two” meme mean?
The humor stems from the gap between a factual observation and an awkward seductive intent. The character pretends not to understand the double meaning of the term to flatter his companion. It expresses a clumsy flirting attempt, often seen as ridiculous or embarrassing. Users employ it to highlight the absurdity of a situation where the subtext is too obvious or misplaced.
Where does the “There is one cannon, I see two” meme come from?
The sequence comes from the show 'La Maison' broadcast on France 5, hosted by Stéphane Thebaut. It was filmed in December 2018 in Lauzerte, Tarn-et-Garonne. Thebaut meets Sandy Communal, an independent tour guide. On the Barbacane esplanade, he spots an old military cannon. He then says to the guide: 'You told me to meet you at the Barbacane esplanade, it’s easy to find, there is a cannon. I see two.' The joke relies on the familiar double meaning of 'cannon' for an attractive person. The video resurfaced in 2020 after the show's cancellation announcement, sparking immediate online interest for this spontaneous moment.
