In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Stop a bus with my head” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 5307 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 “Stop a bus with my head” meme mean?
The line turns a plainly risky action into an absurdly confident claim. People can use it to call out poor judgment or an unsafe suggestion, with the exaggerated danger doing the comic work. Its source, however, is a sketch that imitates people with Down syndrome. Using the phrase can therefore echo humor aimed at disability, so it should not be directed at people with Down syndrome or treated as a harmless catchphrase in every context.
Where does the “Stop a bus with my head” meme come from?
The line comes from “Le handisport,” a sketch performed by French comedian Artus at the 2019 Montreux Comedy Festival. Montreux Comedy posted the clip on its YouTube channel on June 10, 2020. In the routine, Artus discusses people with Down syndrome and delivers an imitation with a line transcribed as “moi ça va arrêter un bus avec ma tête.” The card’s wording is a close rephrasing rather than an exact match to that transcription. It is unknown when the excerpt first became a meme or who initially isolated or spread it. An audio clip titled “Je vais arrêter un bus avec ma tête” is also listed on MyInstants under the labels “Trisomique” and “Artus.” Available sources do not establish where or how later meme uses circulated.
