Je crovais que je pouvais le faire (Matthieu Harlé)In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Je croivais que je pouvais le faire.” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 1428 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3503 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Je croivais que je pouvais le faire.” meme mean?
The line is the naive confession of someone who believed they could pull something off and has just found out otherwise. The misconjugated verb, “croivais”, adds a clumsy, endearing touch that invites a smile. People use it to comment on a project going sideways, a botched feat or a bit of misplaced confidence. It also works as gentle self-mockery after a defeat: the tone is quiet disappointment, never anger. Delivered with a straight face, it lands best when the situation is completely ordinary.
Where does the “Je croivais que je pouvais le faire.” meme come from?
The quote comes from What The Cut, a comedy show created by Antoine Daniel. The first episode went up on his YouTube channel on 1 March 2012, and he hosted and directed the series until 30 December 2015. The format was weekly: he reviewed three funny, odd or strange videos from the web, commented on them and turned them into sketches. The fast pace, the sharp editing and the over-the-top character he played left a mark on a whole generation of French viewers, and several lines from the show became shared references among fans. “Je croivais que je pouvais le faire” is one of those quotes that now travels on its own, detached from its episode, as an image, a sticker or a comment.
