In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Mehmet My Son” is an epic card of the Memes World series 75, number 22441 of the collection, and the 24th best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Mehmet My Son” meme mean?

The meme expresses traditional family pressure, often mixed with ethnic or cultural stereotypes. It satirizes identity debates and inter-community prejudices, particularly between Turks and Balkan populations. The humor relies on adapting the original dialogue to mock or criticize various communities.

Where does the “Mehmet My Son” meme come from?

The original comic was published anonymously on the /int/ board of 4chan on September 11, 2014, by a Bulgarian user. It aimed to ridicule the provocations of Turkish users on that channel. The drawing contrasts a Turkish father demanding his son Mehmet marry a Turkish woman rather than a Balkan one, claiming the latter are perceived as less white. Although often dated 2015, this year marks its massive virality via FunnyJunk compilations and YouTube videos, not its initial creation. No TV show is behind this meme.
