INFMIC_TRUST_SOCIALPROOF_8fe87f7d_UNBXpodcast_MIX_16x9_6s_A2_NA_FR_FR_Sep2026_VO_.mov (Revolut)In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Ingénieur informaticien” is a legendary card of the Memes FR pack, number 2117 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3496 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Ingénieur informaticien” meme mean?
The chorus fits three naive, proud ideas: a job, a passion for computers and an outdated operating system, Windows 98. The comedy comes from mixing professional seriousness with childlike simplicity, sung with total conviction. People quote it to tease the resident geek, to feel nostalgic about old PCs or to introduce themselves in a deliberately absurd way. It also pokes fun at technical profiles who sum themselves up by their hardware.
Where does the “Ingénieur informaticien” meme come from?
The video “Ingénieur Informaticien CLIP OFFICIEL” was published on YouTube by Michel l’ingénieur informaticien, the channel michel2i. The very short lyrics repeat “Je suis ingénieur informaticien, j’aime les ordinateurs, Windows 98”. They have been reworked in many versions: a cover shot for a film contest at a science festival, a rock-style track, a hardstyle remix and more. This wave of reprises made the chorus a shared reference in French-speaking internet culture, well beyond the original video.
