In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “buzz cut” is an epic card of the Memes FR pack, number 5491 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3502 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “buzz cut” meme mean?
The meme pokes fun at a buzz cut that people think went wrong. The French phrase “il s’est fait charcuté” suggests that the haircut was botched, often with irony about the person’s embarrassed reaction. People also use the phrase when commenting on other videos of someone trying a buzz cut, even when Gaëtan is not involved.
Where does the “buzz cut” meme come from?
The meme comes from a TikTok video showing Gaëtan getting a haircut from Paris-based barber JR Golden Hands. He asks for a buzz cut, then sees a very short style with shaved sides and nape. His reaction, read as disappointed or awkward, becomes the focus of comments and edits. The video appeared in early February 2024, though its exact upload date is unknown. In a video published by Le Parisien on February 21, 2024, the barber discusses some of the reactions, including comments about Gaëtan’s appearance and the haircut’s style. The trend spread mainly on TikTok, followed by compilation videos on X. No television show has been identified as the meme’s source.
