In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Les choses simples” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 1762 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 “Les choses simples” meme mean?

The phrase evokes modest happiness: a snack, a bench, a quiet afternoon. Said with an air of wisdom, it turns a plain bite into a life philosophy. People use it to comment on a calm moment, an unpretentious meal, a walk or a well-earned break, or to gently mock a seemingly oversized enthusiasm for something ordinary.

Where does the “Les choses simples” meme come from?

On a beautiful afternoon Lafleche92 sits on a picnic table and pulls a Candy’Up and a pound cake from his bag for a snack. He then says “les choses simples”. The moment became a staple of French-language memes, to the point that several forest-picnic videos reuse the phrase in their titles. The creator also reacted to his own memes in a video interview where the expression comes up. The clip travels as short videos, captions and remixes.

The reprints of the “Les choses simples” card

The “Les choses simples” card was reprinted as Rare (No. 2,046) and Epic (No. 4,992). 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.
