In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Le croque monsieur” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 2556 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 “Le croque monsieur” meme mean?

The meme celebrates the perfect timing of an absurdity. A kitchen word with no link to the situation comes out at the exact moment everything goes up in smoke, and the mismatch triggers the laugh. People use it to comment on a disaster that lands right after a harmless sentence, a plan collapsing at the worst possible instant, or a breakdown that strikes just as someone talks about it. It also works as a rallying cry for the YouTuber’s fans, who recognize the scene. The tone is friendly: the joke is the coincidence, not the person.

Where does the “Le croque monsieur” meme come from?

Furious Jumper, real name Alexandre Poittevin, is a French YouTuber born on 9 July 1991 in Compiègne. He started on YouTube in 2013 with a parody of a Fatal Bazooka song, then focused on Minecraft, especially mods and maps, and later Roblox. His channel reached 100,000 subscribers in March 2015 and passed 10 million on 28 October 2025. He is known for a pig mascot named Ted. The “croque monsieur” clip comes from his videos: he yells those words at the moment the machine explodes, and the coincidence was enough to turn it into a quote. Cut loose from the video, the clip circulates in edits and reactions among fans of his world.

Your first pack is free and needs no account. After that a new free pack lands every 10 minutes, up to 3 waiting for you. You can also buy the card with MemeCoins on the market, bid for it at auction, or trade it — and a double recycles into 5 MemeCoins.

The reprints of the “Le croque monsieur” card

The “Le croque monsieur” card was reprinted as Rare (No. 3,021) and Epic (No. 4,828). A reprint is the same meme printed again, with a number of its own and a higher rarity than its first printing, which was common. Its face reads “Reprinted card · Higher rarity”.

Every printing is dealt in the packs of the Memes FR pack, each at its own rarity: the higher it is, the rarer the card is to pull. Copies of the first printing already pulled stay as they are, and any printing counts toward completing a set.

MyMemeCards reprints a meme when it deserves more than the rarity of its first printing, such as a classic that became iconic after it came out: the reprint gives it a place among the most sought-after cards without taking anything from the players who already had it.
