In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Makélélé : m'en bat les couilles” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 993 of the collection, and the 513th best-known meme of its 977 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Makélélé : m'en bat les couilles” meme mean?
The line is crude shorthand for total indifference, closer to “I could not care less” than to any polite dismissal. Its comedy comes from the gap between the opponent — a Brazil side nearly everyone expected to win — and the flat calm of the midfielder filing that reputation away as a detail. People reach for it to cut off an argument from authority, or to say that a famous name changes nothing about what happens next.
Where does the “Makélélé : m'en bat les couilles” meme come from?
The clip comes from an interview with the French international Claude Makélélé about the France-Brazil quarter-final of the 2006 World Cup. Asked about Brazil's standing and about Ronaldinho, he answers that neither one impresses him, in the coarse words the card keeps. Available sources do not name the show, the channel or the exact date of the interview, and the video upload that spread the clip carries no reliable date either. The card dates the meme to 2010, by which point those few seconds were already a staple of French football humour.
