In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “But Not Like That, I’m Not Dead” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 1998 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3512 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “But Not Like That, I’m Not Dead” meme mean?
The line freezes the instant a player thinks they will die in a humiliating way, here fall damage, and denies the obvious by shouting they are not dead. The “mais pas comme ça” (not like this) shows the sulk: losing is fine, but not in a ridiculous manner. People quote it after a silly defeat, a last-second blunder, or whenever they want to protest an outcome they find unfair. The humour comes from the sudden rage and the openly bad faith.
Where does the “But Not Like That, I’m Not Dead” meme come from?
According to the card, Gotaga starts raging in Fortnite because he thought he would die from fall damage. Gotaga is the handle of Corentin Houssein, a French streamer and video maker born on 7 September 1993 in Mantes-la-Jolie, who launched his YouTube channel on 31 August 2008, first known for Call of Duty, and who finished third in the creative mode of the 2019 Fortnite World Cup. An online compilation lists the line among his best moments of 2019. It later broke away from the video and became a common quote among gamers.
