In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “The Look (Éboué and Ngijol)” is an epic card of the Memes FR pack, number 2252 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3495 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “The Look (Éboué and Ngijol)” meme mean?
The meme sums up polite hypocrisy: a friendly handshake, then a sideways glance that says the exact opposite. People use it for rivals forced to look cordial, colleagues sizing each other up, or anyone who greets someone they do not really like. The humor comes from the silent tension: no words, everything passes through the eyes. It suits forced politeness, fake smiles and mutual suspicion.
Where does the “The Look (Éboué and Ngijol)” meme come from?
Fabrice Éboué and Thomas Ngijol are a French comedy duo who came out of the Jamel Comedy Club, where they performed from 2006. Together they wrote the series Inside Jamel Comedy Club, aired by Canal+ in early 2009, and later directed the film Case départ in 2011. In the scene that became the meme, the two men shake hands and, right after, trade a sideways look. The shot was cut out and shared on social networks, notably on Twitter, as a visual reaction for mutual hypocrisy, then spread through meme accounts as a short video.
