In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Le père Noël est un FDP” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 5365 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3498 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Le père Noël est un FDP” meme mean?
The joke comes from the gap between Santa’s familiar role as a generous gift-giver and the behaviour that makes Ludovik’s character unlikeable. The title’s abbreviation sharpens that contrast. The meme can be referenced when a Christmas present is unwelcome, a holiday disappointment lands, or an apparently generous gesture turns out to be mean-spirited or inappropriate.
Where does the “Le père Noël est un FDP” meme come from?
The meme comes from a comedy video series starring Ludovik as Santa Claus. Its first video was posted on YouTube on December 25, 2015. Ludovik and Guillaume Desjardins directed it, and the screenplay is credited to Ludovik and Alix Bernaud. The character had appeared earlier in short Christmas countdown videos on Ludovik’s Facebook page, though the source gives neither their exact starting date nor their number. The comic premise sets Santa’s usual job of handing out presents against situations that make him deliberately problematic. The concept continued with three more videos, released on December 25 in 2016, 2017, and 2018.
- December 25, 2015The first video in the series is posted on YouTube, with Ludovik playing Santa.
- December 25, 2016A second video, titled “Le père Noël est un FDP 2,” is released.
- December 25, 2017The third video in the series is published.
- December 25, 2018A fourth video is released.
