Croisière des célibataires [MALAISE – VIEUX REPORTAGE] (MalaiseTV)In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Jean-Paul le séducteur” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 2588 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 “Jean-Paul le séducteur” meme mean?
The name Jean-Paul stands for the man convinced of his charm while everything in the scene proves otherwise. The comedy lies in the gap between his confidence and the polite, even uneasy, reaction of the woman he talks to. People cite him to comment on a clumsy approach, a failed pickup line, a badly phrased compliment or a friend who persists despite the signals. The meme is used with affection more than cruelty: Jean-Paul is a decent guy whose good will disarms, which makes him a likeable example of the failed charmer.
Where does the “Jean-Paul le séducteur” meme come from?
The meme comes from a television report about a cruise for singles. Among the passengers, Jean-Paul tries to win over a hostess with a clumsiness that does not go unnoticed. The contrast between the holiday mood and the character’s clumsiness is what makes the sequence work. The clip was isolated, shared and picked up by French-speaking internet users, who see it as a model of failed flirting. Its success comes from the distance between the character’s self-assurance and his companion’s reaction, a gap ideal for screenshots, captions and winks between friends.
