J'aime me battre ! (keraunos94)In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “J’aime me battre !” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 1660 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3493 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “J’aime me battre !” meme mean?
The joke works because of the gap between the tone and the content: a self-assured spy states, with total seriousness, that he enjoys fighting. It reads as swagger, a little silly and entirely sincere. People use it to tease a friend who is picking a fight, to mock a braggart, or to cheerfully announce they are ready for a confrontation. Delivery matters as much as the words; it should sound calm, even smug, like an obvious fact. It also belongs to the stock of OSS 117 quotes that fans trade to recognise one another.
Where does the “J’aime me battre !” meme come from?
Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath, known as OSS 117, is a fictional French secret agent. In OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies, released in France on 19 April 2006 and directed by Michel Hazanavicius, he is played by Jean Dujardin. The story is set in Egypt and plays with the conventions of vintage spy films. The character is portrayed as proud, pretentious and full of prejudices, which drives most of the humour. Bérénice Bejo and Aure Atika appear alongside Dujardin. The scene in which Hubert says he loves to fight circulates on YouTube as short clips titled after the line, and it often turns up in compilations of the film’s cult moments. Since then the sentence has taken on a life of its own online, quoted in text, video and images by people who know the film by heart.
